I'm having a go at my own, following some of the guidelines here. With tweaking, it could be quite good.
I just played against a way-cool deck. Basically, it was about 170 cards, most of which (I later discovered) were land or library search. He had about 4 critical cards.
Firstly, he slaps down a Confessor. I think "aha - he plans to discard me, and gain life". No problem, I have some nice madnessess just waiting.
However, he then searches for and locates a Zombie Infestation (discard 2, add a 2/2 black zombie token). "Fine, he's playing discard his own and gain life. Tricky, not insurmountable". Then he whips out... Nefarious Lich! BBBB - Enchantment - If you are dealt damage, instead remove that many cards from your graveyard from the game. If you can't, lose the game. If you gain life, instead draw that many cards. When Nefarious Lich leaves play, you lose.
You see what this means? He can discard two for a zombie, gain two life, convert into two draws and repeat ad nauseum! The large deck meant, if he wanted, he could have had about 40 or 50 of the things! Add a sterling grove to prevent disenchanting, and he's laughing! Just for insult, throw in Yawgmoth's agenda after a fedw runs, and cast all those discarded spells anyway! Genius!

There must be a free (and illegal) version of online Magic somewhere... I'd be surprised if there hasn't been a homemade version created by a fan.
