If we define the best MTG deck as to be the one deck that is as fun as to play and play against. (For positive values of fun).
What would it be the best MTG deck?
fun is not an objective value, so this would depend entirely upon what each player values as being fun.
I have a theory that variety is universally fun, but there are many ways to find variety in magic. for the Spike psychographic I think variety of opponents, opposing decks, and routes of play is what they find fun, so a single deck is almost antithetical to fun. the routine complaints and lower attendance when formats, especially standard, become stagnant would seem to support that.

Not aggro, because it's both boring to use and to face.
Not combo, because, while fun to use, it can be boring to face.
Not STAX, because, while very fun to use, certain people find it anathema to fun.
Not drawgo, because while also quite fun to use, some people find it a tedious slog to face.
Midrange, maybe?

A deck filled with nothing but copy effects!
You never play the same game twice.
You get to actively seek out unusual card interactions.
Your opponents never really get mad because it's their own cards they're playing against.

I've never seen my opponents more mad than when I use copy effects on them.
Lantern is pretty fun to play against, I enjoy when my opponent helps me to choose what cards to play.

Had a full Mind control/clone deck with some sacrifice effects, my friends asked me to stop playing it because it was infuriating
Death and Taxes
It depends on what you play
My most enjoyable game lately was bant spirits against UW control, an incredibly long, grindy game, with a lot of hard choices. It was a fucking blast, but I could see how someone loathed playing UW control
