Sorry for the sarcasm.

Don't be afraid of being creative when building decks because your opponent might have an answer to your win condition.  Cyclown's line of thinking is similar to this "well i better not play Tron because my opponent might have blood moon s in his deck".

We could sit here forever with somone listing deck ideas and somone else listing cards that stop that deck from winning.  That would be pointless wouldn't it?

Going back to question in the original post:
1.  Grand architect is not "bad tron", similar but different.  To be honest it's probably not good but could be fun to try.
2.  I would be looking for some kind of engine to take advantage of the mana produced from grand architect.  Something like pili-pala perhaps.

Eh, blood moon says you've still got 7 mana to play with. That gives you chalice on 3, a coil or a vigi lifelinker plus 2 mana worth of hate.

Pilitect is better, although pili needs to untap (or be greaved) so playing pili off of tect is harder. 4 mana t3 is also a thing.    Dork that make u, tect, greaves, pili, perhaps.

I'd fill it with drakes. 12 might be excessive, but it's there.

Grief with it at fnm. It'll be awesome. It's a shame we'd die to hate meant for other decks.

I would want to try some kind of U/R brew with a kind of reanimator kick with faithless looting , trash for treasure , wurmcoil engine , and inkwell leviathan .

could rock etherium sculptor s and the architects as ramp.

potential line of play: 

turn one: mountain, faithless looting (discard inkwell leviathan and some other card.
turn two:  darksteel citadel , exile simian spirit guide , trash for treasure sac citadel put leviathan into play.



So, this is your god hand, and it still doesn't kill them until turn 5.
And if they hit wrath, damnation, or Liliana, it's GG.

I'm sorry, I just don't think this is feasible. 

I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine.

Go Grixis, run blue-artifact ramp into Sphinx of the Steel Wind and Inkwell Leviathan with Unburial Rites if they have you discard one of your win-cons. Ethersworn Canonist s maindeck could slow down aggro and combo decks a bit.

If you go this route you'd need to run a heavy-control deck to protect your pieces.

At that point running less cute tricks and more control shell... Well, gives you a better but entirely different deck. That wants more Brown Tits

I found prototype portal s to be the best thing for Grand Architect to do. With Wurmcoils and Myr Battlesphere s.
