We ended up playing ANT + counters.dec I still have to laugh when I look at the decklists.
Our loss was against dredge because on our turn 1 my teammates chant got misdirected to me (ant player) with triple counter backup so we couldn't go off and then dredge killed turn 1.

// Lands
4 Tundra
4 Volcanic Island
2 Steam Vents
2 Hallowed Fountain
4 Windswept Heath
1 Plateau
4 Wooded Foothills

// Spells
4 Stifle
4 Force of Will
4 Misdirection
4 Daze
3 Foil
4 Orim's Chant (this was before silence existed)
3 Echoing Truth
2 Pyroblast
3 Red Elemental Blast
4 Nix (tech!)
4 Pact of Negation

You don't need any win conditions or help for your teammate as a we tweaked the ANT list quite a bit. If it doesn't have to worry about protection it goes off turn 2 like >80% of the time. Ad Nauseam is also insane when you start with 30 life, and you begin with a stormcount of at least 5 from the counterwar.
Oh yeah, free mulligan too, Lol!

And yeah we don't play 2hg legacy here anymore now Razz

Even if you ban all the storm cards and dredge there's still problems like standstill (draw 6) and other combo's like painterstone.
