I personally often go all-in on my archetypes for the sake of efficiency, but I have been known to include pet cards (i.e.
Bounty of the Luxa) for the sake of augmenting an already-existing gameplan until I find I can no longer keep those cards in for the sake of furthering the gameplan.
Haha, I do that in a number of decks, too...efficiency and reliability are two things I strive for (that, and sheer fun). I have friends who love 60 card singleton, and they do a pretty good job of great synergistic layers. I don't enjoy the randomness of singleton in 60 card format, and any singleton 60's tend to die an early death in my collection. If I wanted singleton, I'd just shuffle in my commander from an edh deck without Command Tower and other stuff like that, and bash with that. So, my playgroup is a weird mishmash of play styles. In the case of the deck I posted here, though, this deck in almost this lineup ended an Emperor's game where I killed my opposing wing by turn 5, and the Emperor resigned not long after. I think it's now my longest lasting deck since converting it from a Kobold tribal (yeah, wrap your head around that one.)
I still have all the Kobolds, too, in full playsets.
