Frank,

I've been working on this deck design for a while and it's been working pretty
good.  It can beat red sligh and other creature assault decks frequently due
to the lock status of the deck, and can also beat blue bounce decks due to
their needing lots of creatures or lots of mana to continuously bounce cards
to your hand.  As these are the main deck types of Rath Cycle, I have found
this deck to be powerful in that format.  This deck is pre-Exodus.

Volrath's Dungeon v.1.1

4 Static Orb
4 Mind Games
4 Propaganda
3 Wall of Tears
3 Silver Wyvern
4 Mana Leak
2 Dismiss
3 Power Sink
4 Counterspell
4 Sapphire Medallion
2 Whispers of the Muse
23 Island

Deck Playing: Get the Static Orb/Mind Games combo out to lock the opponent
down to two permenants a turn, and against a blue bounce or red sligh, also
get a Propaganda out.  Then proceed to give your opponent the big flying
beatdown with the Silver Wyverns.  If necessary, bring out the Wall of Tears
to prevent an early rush of weenies if no Props come out.

Problems:  As this deck revolves around one combo, there should be some deck
searching to find the cards needed, but I cannot figure out what to cut out
for some Intuitions.  I also do not know what to put into the sideboard to
combat other decks.  I would guess Chill, but as for anything else, I am not
sure.

Feel free to send me comments!
