Out of the two precon commanders with Zendikar Rising's release, Anowon, the Ruin Thief is the one I'm most interested in. While Rogues have had Sygg, they never had a true tribal commander till Zareth and Anowon. Zareth's pretty good, but his pseudo-Ninjitsu ability doesn't work from the command zone and Anowon provides both a buff and Mill to help Zareth's abilities out.

Our gameplan is mill. Use evasive creatures (Triton Stalker, Invisible Stalker, Slitherblade, etc.) to deal damage and mill our opponents, and maybe do some light theft (Zareth San, the Trickster, Rise of the Dark Realm, Sepulchral Primordial, etc.) to snatch useful creatures for our own use.

For a big blow out, get the Isochron Scepter+Dramatic Combo with a few mana rocks going late game, cast Mnemonic Betrayal, and cast everything from your opponents' graveyards with the infinite mana.

Alternatively, we can cheese a win by drawing our deck out with Labman out.

This is basically the next form my Wizard deck is taking. Wizards are nice, but Rogues have a gameplan more my style.
