One of my favorite cards is Shah of Naar Isle, a self proclaimed bad rare that seemed like card disadvantage on a big body. Then came Spiteful Visions and suddenly the hefty echo cost became the centerpiece for an Extended deck: Spiteful Shah. However, as time went, cards rotated out and the deck was never really the same.
Now, I just discovered Modern and would like to try and see if I can't return the rogue deck back to fighting form.
Cards in maindeck serve for either spot removal, acceleration, draw, or punishing draw. Sideboard has various forms of board sweepers, better spot removal, and a card that loves messing with all those nonbasics.
It's a gimmicky deck, but initial playtesting shows that it has great potential for power plays and may be an alternative to the standard RDW/burn archetypes for those Johnny types.
Black undermines the manabase of the deck and the black cards, while good, don't justify taking away red cards that serve similar things. The artifacts are dangerous without Spiteful Vision and can backfire.
Browbeat is included in the sideboard and Wheel of Fate was in the original deck list, but I found the timing can be awkward.
