Given that the decking has to happen all at once, these decks will almost always revolve around some kind of combo, be it storm or an actual combo.

Don't get me wrong -- I completely agree that it's a terrible strategy unless it happens all at once or in a few other rare situations. It's just that the original post of the thread clearly stated that the entire point of the topic was to discuss other applications of decking besides storm and painter. So while my side of the argument is that there aren't any viable competitive reasons to deck someone other than storm, painter, and the occasional boring matchup with Chantress or landstill mirror, I think people could contribute somethinga bit more relevant than mentioning that Solidarity wins by decking, which as has been acknowledged since post one. *shrug* I'll drop the point though, not worth going into further.
