Which Tier 1 deck should i pick up?

[Tiago_B.]

Im going to start working soon, and then ill be able to get expensive cards. Time to get a tier 1 deck, but which?
Maverick, and Zoo seem interesting to me; Merfolk is always a solid choice and i already have some of the lords, but honestly, i cant decide which deck to build.
I really wanted a deck that would fit into a metagame where the decks i own wouldnt.

The decks i have right now:

Burn
Affinity (Ravager)
Pox

Ofc, Pox can be tuned to beat almost any decktype, but still......

Opinions? Im open to sugestions other than those i pointed.

Merfolk. It has been tier 1 for a long time and I don't see it going anywhere but up.

It's the deck I suggest also due to the cards in it. The ones specific to merfolk are fairly cheap. the ones not specific are things like Wasteland, Forces, Aether Vial, and other cards that help build your collection to make other decks. Never a bad thing to have options.

I'm going to suggest Team America.

Here's why:

1) It's Tier 1
2) It uses great cards that are going to be useful to own if you're going to be playing Legacy.

I like Arsenal's list:

From the TA thread in DTB:


4 Tombstalker
4 Tarmogoyf

2 Go for the Throat
2 Dismember
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Stifle
4 Mental Misstep
4 Daze
4 Force of Will

4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder

4 Wasteland
4 Polluted Delta
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Underground Sea
2 Tropical Island
1 Verdant Catacomb
1 Bayou

SIDEBOARD:

3 Spell Pierce
2 Blue Elemental Blast
2 Perish
2 Pernicious Deed
2 Llawan, Cephalid Empress
2 Tormod's Crypt
1 Nihil Spellbomb
1 Phyrexian Metamorph

I think it depends on your deck preferences. If you:

a) like control - build BUG-Still Control
b) like "aggro-control" - build Bant / NO-RUG / Team America
c) like combo - build TES
d) like aggro - build Zoo
e) don't hate Merfolk - build this deck because it has the best power/prize status

From those decks, i like BUG-Still, Bant, Zoo, and Merfolk. Ill probably stick with Merfolk, seems the most reliable option. Thanks for the help guys ^^
