Taken from Patrick Chapins Innovations - A History of the Best Decks from the First 17 Years of Magic for StarCityGames.com

"Randy Erik and the rest of Team CMU had devised a deck so broken it was the only time in DCI History for Wizards of the Coast to announce an emergency banning in the middle of a season.

The deck is almost entirely all mana and card draw and seeks to draw its deck on first (maybe second) turn eventually finding the Megrim and making the opponent die to the discard triggers from Memory Jars.

This could have gone on to be the most busted deck in competitive history if not for being banned in less than a season (a feat never matched). It is possible that High Tide was a better deck in many respects but it was at a power level where it was not immediately outlawed as such I have to give it to the CMU Broken Jar from GP: Vienna."
