That's the article I used, it has some really good ideas. I started off from the deck lists they suggested and then just evolved them a bit by changing a few cards gradually. Starting a deck from scratch would be more difficult in modern I think, because it might just be up being poo unless you've got a particular trick to it!
I've built a couple of decks from that article - the black discard deck which is incredibly good, the W/B token deck which is ok, and the really bad baby dragon deck!
I'm also really keen on trying the Shadowborn apostle deck - if anyone could possibly provide me with 24 copies of that card!!
