After the Zendikar spoilers and the upcoming card Maddening Cacophony I had a fun idea to make a rogue deck that should be feared in the Pioneer format with a turn 4 mill out. Before I start explaining the deck I have to give a shoutout to ARCHONofRAGE for giving me some fun ideas. WARNING: This is an untested deck, this deck is purely and merely a thought experimentation. Now that you've been warned let's get to the fun part.(All help appreciated and welcomed)
1 - The theory of the Deck
The turn 4 win ofc consists in a pretty solid hand.
Turn 1:Tome Scour
Turn 2:2*Tome Scour
Turn 3:Fraying Sanity
Turn 4:Tome Scour+Maddening Cacophony or Breaking / Entering + Merfolk Secretkeeper
Quick Math: Thas's 49 cards by turn 4 which means 49+7(cards in the opening hand)+ 4(nº of turns)= 60 cards.
2 - Philosophy of the deck
This deck aims to mill the oponent as fast as possible if you didn't already guessed but it takes the spell route instead of the draw mill enchantment route. The new zendikar card came to substitute Traumatize and it is much more versatile.
3 - Clearing up some Choices
Overwhelmed Apprentice mill and rearrangingthe draws. Into the Story since most of the deck is low cost, card draw is important in my opinion. Speaking of the landbase I believe tap lands are too slow for the deck although I would be open to putting some Fabled Passage.Cry of the Carnarium, looking at the meta mono black is a threat and a force to be reckoned with, so exiling the small creatures is perfect, mono green is also making a comebak so destroying the mana dorks is a good ideia and lets not forget about mono red which is always a pain to deal with. Midrange and Control decks might me our best match up on the first game. When it comes to sideboarding since the deck is untested I would recommend following your gut or what the meta is in your region, the only thing I'll clarify is the Thieves' guild enforcer since it might appear to be a strange pick but I believe it to be a good blocker since we can give it deathtouch pretty easily and it can force control decks to move quickly.
