Aggro-Control deck with Brainstorm and Force of Will. Specifically, mid-range ones.
I like Blade Control quite a bit, but in the past I settle for Rock decks.
Part of me wants to say Trix.

You very likely can build it without spending any money, just out of what you already have.
An example with my (very large) list in a visual form
I play mostly blue-based Aggro-Control decks, and I've played quite a lot of them over the years, among the lot are Merfolk (Mono-U, UW, UB, UWb), Team America, New Horizon, UW Tempo (technically a contorl deck in most match-ups but meh), MeatHooks, and of course Tempo Threshold.
Canadian Threshold is my favourite deck, and it has been for quite some time. I like it a lot because of Nimble Mongoose, partly for nostalgic reasons I used to play UGw Threshold in Vintage back in the day, with Mongoose, Werebear, Enforcer and Meddling Mage and I still have one of the Mongeese I used back then, a misprinted one that my younger brother gave me. I also like Mongoose because it is such a humble little card, a 1/1 for G that suddenly turns into a 3/3 and outright wins games on his own. Nevermind that it was Delver that reinvigorated the deck, Mongoose is #1 in my book.
Team America is my second favourite, it's the deck that has granted me most of my tournament success, and Hymn is just unfair.
If I play turn one trinisphere, I wouldn't like loosing on swords to plowshares or turn 1 ad nauseam.As long as Trinisphere is untapped, each spell that would cost less than three mana to cast costs three mana to cast.

Last time i checked turn 1 Trini/Chalice@1 > StP/ANT. Besides, we're just discussing "favorite" and not "tier 1" decks so I think it's just better not to argue at this point.

Around 2004ish there was a Burning Wish Rock deck that was a lot of fun as well.
big links in sigs are obnoxious -PR
Don't disrespect my dojo dude...
Sweep the leg!
Reanimator with Mystical Tutor or UG Merfolk with Goyfs and Standstills before people realized the deck was good. Also, I still remember the first time I cast Natural Order into Progenitus when the guy looked completely puzzled about what just took place. Good Times.
Asylum EDH: Foil or go home.
Nausea. My first experience with a gold-fish Turn 1 kill. Circa 2005.
Close second, Bant Survival + Iona.

That's my reanimator deck when i was a kid. I changed it many times, like putting Serra Avatar-Shallow Grave Combo.
In 2001-2002, Polluted Delta, Putrid Imp, Entomb and Careful Study was printed, i modified Reanimator deck to UB Reanimator.
After long hibernation, i build a deck based on 2010 GP Madrid Champion, Andreas Muller's.

Orlove Reanimator. So much disruption and consistency out of a reanimator deck sans entomb....plus you got to play squee as a 4 of! I still think this deck could grind out some wins today but it couldnt play the best creature to reanimate atm.
"eggs... why'd it have to be eggs"
I must say TRADEAWAKE! .... fond memories
4c Landstill. Pernicious Deed was such a beast back then.
But if you go back to T1.5, before Legacy was split off the T1 restricted list, it was a WBR aggro deck I called Mostros.

2 Badlands
2 Scrublands

It did surprisingly well (given how bad it looks) against all 3 of the major decks at the time: Food Chain Goblins, U/W Landstill and Dragon. I think that given enough time it would've gained some popularity, but I don't think I'd gotten around to posting it online anywhere. I even ported it over to T1 a few times, shoe-horning in an Ancestral, a Walk, a Demonic and some Moxen. You think that mana base is scary bad as is, try playing it with single color, unfetchable mana sources.
Survival Madness, IGGy Pop and Mystical-Reanimator, no particular order.
Actually, in retro, my favorite deck was probably Garv.dec. Every time I play Magic and don't get to Berserk a Rancor'd Troll Ascetic, I get a little sad.
For my confessions, they burned me with fire/
And found I was for endurance made
