Which verb tense do I use for sarcasm?
If I want to say something sarcastically (in which I dont), what verb tense would I most likely use?

Yours is a very interesting question. I think expressing sarcasm cannot be associated with a verb tense, but rather with the choice of words. Examples I found on the web, where you can see the present indicative or imperative are good to express sarcasm:
El mundo se esta quedando sin genios: Einstein murio, Beethoven se quedo sordo, y a mi me duele la cabeza. The world is running out of geniuses. Einstein died, Beethoven turned deaf and I have a headache
El amor eterno dura aproximadamente 3 meses. Eternal love lasts approximately 3 months
No te metas en el mundo de las drogas..ya somos muchos y hay muy poca.Don't enter the world of drugs. We're way too many already and there isn't enough drug to go around
The same as if you were speaking/writing sincerely.
