@Anusien - Did you totally ignore my last post.
This is a fun deck!If you want to play something rogue that's somewhat competitive then I'd suggest it. If not, it will be my pet deck for ages to come. You don't have to think it's good, I posted it because I wanted to brainstorm ideas based on variations of the combo but people seem to think that I envision myself as the Supreme Magic Ruler Of Dominaria. Really, I don't. But you can label me that if you wish.
This is an "aggro' deck that consistently wins by the third turn and wins by the second a large majority of the time.
I currently have only tested this deck online with moderate success. Control and Aggro seem to roll over and die to this deck. The only deck that I assume would give me problems is various Stax builds. That's the main reason I dedicate my board to Chalice. This deck's best quality is to combat control. It's so fast that my opponent will not have any mana open to Mana Drain anything. And If they have a FoW, Pact of Negation pretty much handles that and if successful, I win.
I don't currently have any tournament results, but PoliceHQ has Top8'ed with the deck, a year and a half ago at one of his local tournies. The build he was running was sub-optimal compared to my final version (no Pact of Negation), so that says alot about the raw power behind the idea of this deck.
If you guy's are having doubts, proxy this thing up on MWS. You will be amazed how fast it is. The deck looks horrible on paper, but plays almost flawlessly 95% of the time. And I'm pretty sure this deck doesn't need much work, I've been tweaking it to perfection for years.
Proxy it up and see for yourself, is all I can say.
I also believe that it can Top8 in moderately large tournaments becuase PoliceHQ has already done this before, and with an inferior build.
The impression you presented of the deck is extremely arrogant to the point of discouraging criticism from strong Vintage players like Kowal. First you try to say, "This deck beats everything but Stax, and I super metagame for Stax." Then when people say, "It's probable that the deck isn't as good as you say it is" you come back with "Well it's rogue so I don't care to make it better/need it to be good." So let me ask you, what sort of discussion exactly are you looking for? You don't seem to want to hear, "You lose to all the Ichorid hate without any benefits", but you're posting the list for a reason. What discussion do you want to foster?
Cavius here is the thing. I'm a new user to this site, and I can't make heads or tails of it. The Vintage Improvement Forum (from my brief week or so of trying the site reading old posts, posing my own ideas, and pleas for help) has primarily become a place for hard core Vintage tournament players to discuss / debate minute details of known archetypes.
