Boros. The one deck that I still believe can be a home for Phyrexian Metamorph. The ChannelFireball crew put Boros through the gauntlet months ago and LSV became so enamored with the results that he "tricked PV into playing it at GP Dallas".
The last successful Boros list was ran by Chikara Nakajima right before Jace and Stoneforge got the hook.
Mirran Crusader and Koth of the Hammer seem to have both had their moments in the sun, but the new Chandra, the Firebrand and maybe even Puresteel Paladin are worth exploring. Can you imagine Boros with an Enchantress-type twist to really give full value to those Adventuring Gears people traded in for Swords? What about Emeria Angel? Didn't the Angel see some play before the ban in Darkblade?
Perhaps it's not really a valid deck anymore, but I tend to explore any idea that seems to have some merit. Boros was a deck and didn't suffer as much as other decks using Stoneforge Mystic when the hammer came down. PureBoros anyone?
I still want to animate a Inkmoth Nexus and cast Phyrexian Metamorph targeting the flying infectious land. A man can dream right?!
