The more complete answer is that there now exists a deck in Type One called Long.dec. Decklist below. The deck can consistently pull off turn 1 and 2 wins by casting plenty of free spells, fast mana spells, and card drawing spells. It then uses Tendrils of Agony (the storming Drain Life) or Hunting Pack (the storming creature generator) to kill. Burning Wish and Lion's Eye Diamond are the key cards. It emptied its hand so quickly that the Diamond has little to no drawback, and the numerous draw-7 spells refilled the hand in no time. It had to go.
