Imagine a format where the goal is to lose faster than your opponent. First player to 0 life wins.
What's your deck look like?
Mono Black deck with 4x Spoils of the Vault, 4x Serum Powders, 4x Hex Parasite, and 48x Swamp. Mull till you find a Spoils of the Vault and a swamp. Cast Spoils naming anything other that Spoils, Powder, or Swamp and your entire deck gets exiled dealing over 50 damage to yourself. Or cast the Parasite and activate the ability until you die.

Hex Parasite or Immolating Souleater is a one-card win combo, as is Necropotence. I would build:
4x Dark Ritual
4x Hex Parasite
4x Necropotence
4x Black Lotus
4x Mox Jet
4x Lotus Petal
4x Sol Ring
16x Swamp

I don't remember the card but I'm pretty sure there is a one mana creature with pherexian firebrething. All decks would play 4 of that since it's game turn 1

Also the pacts would have to be banned for obvious reasons

Well no, there are easier ways to t1 win, those only win t1 on the draw

Abyssal Persecutor would be in almost every deck.

MagicManSam has a One with Nothing video about how to lose on turn one with no library/permanents/etc. It's pretty entertaining.

The red extra turns deck loses to sideboarded Pacts. The black one can too, but only if it's Pact of Negation.
Not sure how I missed Gemstone Caverns and Chrome Mox :P

This is already a thing in Draft.
It's called Backdraft.

Backdraft is just building the worst deck for someone else, isn't it? This would be a format where you are literally casting Lightning Bolt targeting yourself.

Well yeah.
I thought of backdraft first because it's a similar idea but has more legs.
I think this idea could be "solved" quite quickly.
Backdraft is where you draft the worst pool then randomly swap pools and everyone tries to build a deck as best they can.
Then you play a game and whoever put together the pool of the deck that loses first wins.

Definitely Red, and just build a burn deck that hits myself. Shoutout to Char, and probably put Fire Covenant and Boros Reckoner in there for a potential turn 4 self combo kill
