Yeah, I think Zoo or something similar could be fine if they had access to a solid 60 card main. Then, just play a 15 card anti-combo sideboard and you'll probably do okay. I mean, it works for Lands right? Lands has almost zero positive combo matchups and only a few unfavorable fair matchups game one, but they just throw 15 anti-combo cards in their sideboard and just get there.
