This deck is about using the cheap cost and static discount of Killian, Ink Duelist to hit the ground running and stay in control. It's a mix of Voltron and cheap removal/protection, much of which is over-costed without Killian, to overwhelm and interrupt opponents as quickly as possible.

This particular version is quite mean, using cards like Hatred which can outright kill someone turn 3 combined with Killian. Turn 2 if I was running Chrome Mox or something, but this deck struggles a bit with card advantage as is and Mox isn't super useful unless I also happen to draw Hatred.

Enlightened Tutor and Vampiric Tutor are probably good adds if you want, but I don't think the consistency boost is worth the $$$ and -1 in this case.
