    Pitch Pile (feat Vial Smasher and Keen Duelist)

    Inspired from that spoiler thread:

    4 Street Wraith
    4 Chancellor of the Dross
    4 Chancellor of the Forge

    3 Soul Spike
    4 Blazing Shoal
    3 Fireblast

    1 Squee, Goblin Nabob
    1 Ox of Agonas
    1 Gurmag Angler

    3 Vial Smasher the Fierce
    4 Keen Duelist

    4 Entomb
    4 Reanimate
    4 Faithless Looting

    4 Simian Spirit Guide

    4 Badlands
    3 Bloodstained Mire
    4 Scalding Tarn
    1 Verdant Catacombs

    Sideboard

    4 Unmask
    4 Leyline of the Void
    1 Swamp
    2 Pyroblast
    4 Stronghold Gambit

    There's not much to the deck. You basically dump opening game triggers and pitch your hand with whatever you've got. The looting/reanimating package is here so you can do something with those post-t0 chancellors and also get a faster Vial Smasher going. Gurmag and Ox are really fun-ofs, I'm not really sure if they belong there.

    I've been testing a pre-Duelist list (with Once Upon a Time/Unearths instead) and while it can steal some games it clearly sits down doing nothing at times. Hopefully the Duelist will propel this pile into its rightfully deserved tier 0 status.

    4 Reanimate + 4 Entomb with 0 Griselbrand/Vilis, Broker of Blood? Having the high CMC winning black creature seems good. Then you can draw more cards into multiple Fireblasts/Soul Spikes.

    Maindeck Unmask seems good and can pitch your expensive black cards.

    The red Chancellor and Blazing Shoal seem weak here. Maybe you want to Fury of the Horde on Griselbrand instead? Or just have Pyrokinesis postboard but no red pitch stuff maindeck.

    Cards like Unmask and Pyrokinesis just give you a lot more interaction with the non-Goldfish opponent, instead of attacking with an 8/1 goblin token and getting killed or blocked.
