First deck to take a look at is Timeless Izzet Tempo by disk3001!
Since Timeless has every card printed on arena it enables the existence of tempo decks centered around a lot of powerful and cheap cards.
The creature package includes only the cheapest and most powerful cards like Dragon's Rage Channeler, Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, and Ledger Shredder so you can always use your mana effectively in your turns.
Fetch lands allow you to play one of the strongest card selection spells in the form of Brainstorm or a free one in the form of Mishra's Bauble so you can control the top of your library. Thanks to fetch lands and a lot of cheap cards you can also play Treasure Cruise and if you ever need you can also cast Lórien Revealed so you always got cards in your hand!
Removal part of the deck includes only the best damage based spells like Lightning Bolt and Unholy Heat. And counterspells also include some strong cards in the format which are Stern Scolding, Spell Pierce, Counterspell and Memory Lapse.
And the last element of the deck is Blood Moon which sometimes allows you to completely wreck the opponents greedy manabase full of dual lands and mana intensive spells!

Second deck to cover is Timeless Domain Zoo by Jordao Pereira!
This deck abuses the timeless manabase to its fullest potential with all of the printed fetch lands and triomes!
As with most zoo decks, the creatures are its centerpiece. They include some generally powerful creatures like Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer or Orcish Bowmasters, but also creatures that benefit from your five-color manabase which are Wild Nacatl, Nishoba Brawler and Territorial Kavu which most of the time achieve its full power on the turn they attack!
The non-creature spells work really well with your manabase and creatures. The cards that use the manabase are Leyline Binding and Tribal Flames where they both have the domain mechanic on them.
The card that works well with your creatures is Stubborn Denial which is often a 1 mana hard counter. And the last card is Lightning Bolt which together with Tribal Flames can get in the last points of damage when your creatures become unable to close the game out!
And the last few cards include Oko, Thief of Crowns which is probably the strongest planeswalker ever printed so it doesn’t need much explaining why its in the list. And the card to top it all of is Jegantha, the Wellspring which is your companion in the deck!

Third deck to cover is Timeless Naya Aggro Zoo by lem2137!
Lets go straight into one of the fastest decks in the format and that is Aggro! With the access to all arena cards this deck is able to play all of the 1 mana threats which in this case are Kumano Faces Kakkazan, Wild Nacatl, Monastery Swiftspear, Dragon's Rage Channeler and Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer.
Same as the threats, the burns spells also include a lot of powerful and cheap cards which are Lightning Bolt, Play with Fire, Static Discharge and Skewer the Critics.
And as all decks, this one also needs ways to refuel and control its hand. These slots are occupied by Mishra's Bauble which works well with fetch lands and Light up the Stage which most of the time costs a single mana in this deck!
And to top it all of this deck also got a companion but instead in the form of Lurrus of the Dream-Den so you can recast all of your permanents if the game goes long!

Another one to cover is Timeless Grixis Shadow by disk3001!
Shadow has historically been a deck that plays only the cheapest interaction, removal and threats so it can spend its mana in the most effective way possible while denying anything that the opponent might try to present.
Starting of with the threats again, they include some of the strongest creatures in the format which are include Death's Shadow, Deathrite Shaman, Dragon's Rage Channeler, Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Orcish Bowmasters!
The interaction includes a lot of powerul cards. Lets start of with the disruption which helps you to control the opponents hand and its represented by Thoughtseize. Removal is represented by Fatal Push and Lightning Bolt.
Counterspells are represented by cards like Memory Lapse or Spell Pierce. And card advantage is represented by one of the strongest card advantage spells – Brainstorm and also Treasure Cruise or even Mishra's Bauble which doesn’t get you more cards, but it lets you control the top card of your deck!
And if you ever flood, you can dump your mana into your companion in the form of Lurrus of the Dream-Den.

Another deck to look at is Timeless Jund Shadow by Noriyuki Mori! The deck has a lot of similar cards to the previous Grixis variant, so I will mostly compare the decks than cover it on its own.
The creature package is very similar, it still include cards like Death's Shadow or Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, but also a new additions in the form of Dreadhorde Arcanist or Questing Druid which allow the deck to grind very efficiently!
With the absence of counterspell, the deck plays more disruption like Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek. The removal spells include similar cards, but the absence of blue makes it hard to find card advantage spells, which in this deck is replaced by the above mentioned creatures (Questing Druid and Dreadhorde Arcanist) that let you get advantage even when you don’t have Brainstorm.
And same as Grixis this one also has a companion in the form of Lurrus of the Dream-Den.

The last Timeless deck to cover is Timeless Mono-Black Necropotence by pompon_cookie!
A big part of the deck is built around the power of Dark Ritual to power out expensive spells on turn 1! With Dark Ritual you are able to cast cards like Necropotence, Graveyard Trespasser or The One Ring way earlier than you would normally be able! Thanks to that the deck is able to have some very scary starts.
Of course sometimes the turns are not that explosive and you do not draw your Dark Ritual. For that the deck still has some amount of interaction like Thoughtseize, Orcish Bowmasters or Fatal Push so you can slow the opponent down if you are unable to present your scariest starts.
The deck has a few ways to approach the battlefield either by turboing out cards or slowing down the opponent. But both of these will eventually end up in the threat slot since you will need to close the game out.
One of the threats is also a disruption element which is Orcish Bowmasters, you also got Lurrus of the Dream-Den which works well with 4 copies of Mishra's Bauble when you need to grind. And the rest are just strong black creatures in the form of Graveyard Trespasser and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse.
And the last few cards in the deck are tutors in the form of Demonic Tutor and Beseech the Mirror which let you get the best card whenever you cast them!

Moving onto alchemy, lets take a look at Alchemy 4c Graveyard Midrange by dadan_dan_hairu!
This deck tries to abuse the graveyard with a lot of graveyard-centric threats!
First lets start of with the cards that let you fill the graveyard with cards. The card that does only that is basically just Blanchwood Prowler because most of the payoffs also let you mill in some way
The cards that do both and are also the decks payoffs include Cruel Somnophage, Souls of the Lost, Urborg Lhurgoyf and Propagator Primordium where they both fill the graveyard in some way and most importantly benefit from your graveyard having permanents which grows your creatures or makes your battlefield wider!
The other creatures also work with the graveyard, but they most of the time don’t grow with your graveyard and rather just synergize with it. They include cards like Gixian Recycler, Callous Sell-Sword or Chitinous Crawler.
And as for the non-creature spell they only include a few copies of cards like Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler, Bitter Triumph or Hopeless Nightmare.

And the last deck to cover is Standard Artifact Ramp by disk3001!
This deck uses an interesting way to ramp into some of the strongest artifact payoffs in the format!
The ramp most of the time includes 2 parts. The mana producers are cards like Omen Hawker or The Enigma Jewel where they both make 2 mana, but that mana needs to be spent on abilities which is a slight problem.
Because of that, the deck plays mana rocks like Energy Refractor, Candy Trail or Prophetic Prism so you can use that newly acquired mana! You also got a few more ramp cards like Thran Spider or even Tezzeret, Betrayer of Flesh where both of them are also conditional but work well in the deck!
And now for the payoffs! Those include a lot of strong artifacts like Cityscape Leveler, The Mightstone and Weakstone and Portal to Phyrexia so as long as you get the mana you should be able to close out the game with these cards!
