Synergy has posted his deck in detail which has been proven to be a great deck. I finally got my lists together of a couple of decks I have been playing around with that have come on top as solid decks. My wizard control deck is a lot like Syn's so I won't bother posting it.
Agro Glye
Character: Glye
Battlemonger x4
Enraged Goblin X4
Flailing Minotaur X4
Gladiator X4
Mountain Giant X3
Vorex x3 (used to be Talon Oakthine..trying Vorex in spot)
Priest of Riverwood x4
Sworn Defender X3
Cranial Leech X4
Sneaky Snyder x3
Bibliotheque x2
Sword of Quickness x2
Declaration of War x2
Ring of temporal Manipulation x2
Dust of Invisibility x4
Trade Agreements x1
Consistant, fast, and looses if they drop a Peacetime. Yes you have Priests but not enough to get around the removal both Wizardcontrol and Grimuscontrol have. Better against Grimus than Zycon.
Grimus Control
Character: Grimus
Frost Sorceress x2
Illusionist x2
Wizard Recruiter x2
Vorex x4
Slavedriver x2
Sword Defender x3
Time Manipulator x2
Medusa x3
Jared Firemonger x2
Honor Guard x2
Pathfinder x3
Guardian Angel x2(Arashi found this nastyness)
Fire Elemental x3
Purify x4
Freeze x4
Wizard Battle x4
Ring of Temporal Manip x2
Bibliotheque x2
Peacetime x3
Slow Death x3 (would sub in one sudden illness if had)
Nasty nasty deck. It is very frustrating to play against as you can lock down so much of your opponent. You don't get to play Peacetime as early as in Zyconcontrol but you usually don't have to. Peacetime+Timemanipulator = wrong.
Ranking these 3 decks, Grimus is by far #1. It looses to Zyconcontrol if the Heroic sacrifice happens on turn 1 or 2 but it usually wins if they don't get that out early. Against Glye it can be dicey if they get the early beats before you can set up the Peacetime or Guardian Angel lock.
Zyconcontrol (see Syn's deck for very solid build) usually wins against Glye. If you get a decent draw, you should win. Take the redraw if you don't see a Peacetime in your opening hand. It does ok against the Grimuscontrol but it really needs the acceleration of the guild from Heroic Sacrifice. It ranks #2.
Glye agro is fun to play and has a better chance against Grimus then Zycon. You can often get through enough damage to put them on a short clock. Trick is killing them before they drop a peacetime/guardian angel. It doesn't usually get a bad draw and is very consistant. May have an issue with archers if they can set up enough to ping off all your attackers.
Looking forward to some feedback. Build them, test them, and let me know what you think. I think if Peacetime was a rare instead of an uncommon, Glye would usually beat Grimus. It still would have a hard time with Zycon, but would stand a much better chance.

), but I don't want to give everyone who can't an unfair disadvantage so close to GenCon because they cant beat the plethora of Grimus decks being used these days. Sorry.
Just remember aggro is something people shouldn't under estimate with regionals and MEGA face off right around the corner. We might be all surprised to see what wins.
