The Power of the Rogue Deck

It has been noted that in post-M10 Standard over 35 different types of decks have won or top 8ed professional/semi-professional events (Nationals, The Pro Tour, and listed PTQs). I was wondering what you thought of the power of a hypothetical rogue deck that played in tier 1 for standard, but that no one had seen before. As an example, or as close as I can get to one, I was wondering what you thought of this deck, what you'd think it was about a turn one forest and turn two plains, bant sureblade and how you would assess the situation of you and the deck you're playing against, playing, say, 5 color control. Are rogue decks more potent now then ever because of the ability to surprise? Do you like such a diverse format? How has it effected your sideboard building/sideboarding?
