Type II

The challenge: a type II capable of defeating a type I. How to do it?

1. it must be able to handle creatures of any size cast early in the game.
2. it must be able to move quickly, without moxes that means cards have to be low cost.
3. every card must kick ass by itself, no time to wait for killer combos, you'll be dead before they happen.
4. while remaining powerful individually, cards should also compliment each other.

Turns out, this deck does well against type I creature decks, because it doesn't care what size their creatures are, and it can often beat a creatureless deck on speed, but it's not as good as I'd like against other decks, and often has mana problems. Not entirely satisfied, but the Black Knight / White Knight deck is one I'd like to keep persuing. Maybe it needs City of Brass to guarantee two of each color mana?
