EPTAlso I play zerg, terran isn't my main race.
BO+ Show Spoiler +
10 Supply Depot
12 Rax
13 Gas
15 OB
15-16 Gas
Continously pump marines and SCVS
16 Supply Depot
19 Reactor on Rax for more marines
19 Ghost Academy
[Important] don't overproduce marines here, you need 150 minerals for Cloak when your Academy finishes
Cloak - yes, your minerals will pile up but your reactor rax will eat them in a second
Factory
Barracks - build this near the Factory
Starport
@50% Barracks, Tech Lab on the Factory, then switch with the barracks
Ghost
Tech Lab on Factory
Nuke
Medivac
Stim
Siege Mode
[Important] save at least 50 energy on your OB here, for there can come banshees or DT's. You are dependant on your teammates to survive. Save a scan for them, if necessary.
Tanks
Command Center + OB
Another barracks with reactor
More Ghost Academies as the game goes on to nuke more targets simultaneously
Why does this build work?
Keep in mind that I play 4v4 platinum.
4v4 will always have better or weaker players. You need to seek out the weaker player and feed upon him, which is very easy with nuking.
There is a lot of space to control in 4v4, and players can't watch everything. It's even hard in 1v1 middle-late game where a nuke can perhaps be landed. In 4v4 it's almost guaranteed. Never nuke the same player again though, they will be on their toes.
This build yields an okay economy since you never stop producing SCVS, then expand @8min after your first nuke has landed.
Nukes are extremely powerful at the 8min mark since this is a delicate point where, if they have not expanded and get their mineral line nuked, they will be out of the game. You basically killed a player instantly.
I would argue that the reward far outweights the risk, since it's not really a cheesy build, it's a 1base defensive build with a twist. You can save your teammates from everything with your numerous marines during the early game.
Push at 200/200 facerolling everything with marine and tanks
Ghosts takes care of casters and shields, marines with stim are.. good, and tanks punish easily making you able to focus on nuke micro while still being dangerous. Medivacs provide healing and good mobility if you want to play around with stimmed marines.
This is a very fun build, and I have a very high winrate with it. 80%+
It's also good if you want to get to 4v4 masters...
Tips and tricks
Pre-stealth and hold fire on a ghost and load into a medivac, fill rest with marines. See if you can kill a mineral line, if it fails, keep your ghost around and nuke a while later. Very sneaky
A nuke is worth 100 minerals 100 gas. There are many many targets worthy of this expense, even 2 pylons if they power many production facilities. You don't have to nuke mineral lines although it's the best!

I make alot of mistakes in this replay, but it's only to show the general idea. Enjoy!
