My favorite deck to play on MTGO in the classic 2HG room is Obliterate, I've been playing it every once in a while for a couple of years and I always go back to it. Obliterate just squeaks into Modern with its 8th edition printing, so I think it could be worked into a deck. Obliterate and something that survives it is like Karn Liberated except that it doesn't take 3 turns of protecting it to charge it up and pop it, and it can't be countered.
I think Obliterate could fit into an Elves shell, though I use a pretty budget mana ramp deck. It's a one-card combo like Scapeshift (into Valakut, the molten pinnacle) and can even fit into the same colors as that deck as well, providing uncounterability.
Obliterate's best friend is [Garruk Wildspeaker] who provides mana to cast it, survives it, and provides creatures to end the game after it's cast. Greater Gargadon also provides an efficient finisher once it eats all the lands on the way to the graveyard.
I'd like suggestions on making an obliterate deck faster and more defensive (too bad no Tinder Wall in Modern), or putting it into a Valakut deck.
