This deck is similar to the modern version. It aims to stop early threats by hand disruption and creature control gaining value with Young Pyromancer and Dreadhorde Arcanist . Rotting Regisaur and Bedlam Raveler can provide a very fast clock. Claim / Fame on Dreadhorde Arcanist into Kolaghan's Command / Dreadbore feels very good. I have done very minimal playtesting due to time constraints, so I would like some feedback and suggestions for maindeck and sideboard options.

Wild Slash was very underwhelming since a lot of key creatures in the format have 3 toughness, so I am trying out Ulcerate and Spite of Mogis . Despise seems like it's well positioned since the meat of most pioneer decks are creatures and PWs right now, but I don't like that it can't clear the way for Young Pyromancer or Dreadhorde Arcanist , however, I feel as though the only other 1 mana option is Duress , which just doesn't seem as crucial in the main.

I am also very new to this community, so I'll try to spice this posting up when I figure things out. Thanks for checking out my deck.

Happy shuffling!
