- Introduction:
Are you looking for a deck to punish Priest and control Warlock? Let’s make a deck that can bully them around - Mill Rogue
(Warning: only use this against control, slow midrange decks; don’t use this agaisnt ladder with many aggro decks)
The list isn’t optimal yet, I’m still testing here and there, but it’s quite enjoyable at the moment.
- Game plan:
What control vs control deck win condition: 1. Healing, 2. Removal, 3. Out of resources and Fatigue (or possible burst dmg)
Well this deck have all of those attributes to overcome control deck.
- Kingsbane & its enchantments: Removal, Healing, potential huge sources of Damage per turn
- Inclusion: Kingsbane, 2x Deadly poison, 2x Southsea Squidface, 1x Leeching Poison, 2x Cavern Shinyfinder.
- Mill:Deplete resources & Fatigue, Bring your combo pieces for Kingsbane together
- Inclusion: Our true hero Coldlight Oracle x2, 2x Gadgetzan Ferryman, 2x Shadowstep, 2x Vanish.
- Others: to help survive early game and draw coldlight oracle.
- Inclusion: Other removal tools, Card draw, and extra minion: Edwin Vancleef.
- How to play:
- Step 1: Control the board while draw cards for next step
+ Control: little 1/3 Kingsbane + removal spell + contest with minions.
+ Draw: Coldlight Oracle, Fan of knife, Elven Minstrel.
- Step 2: Make a super powerful Kingsbane and GO FACE!!!
- Step 2’: Keep drawing/milling opponents’ cards
- Step 3: Opponents go to fatigue with 10 cards in hand, you just smash their face and draw them -1, -2, -3 … to death
- Mulligan: It’s pretty compilcated but I’ll give some of my experiences:
- Only keep in specific situation: (…) when you have (…), in (…)
+ Edwin Vancleef - the coin
+ Kingsbane - deadly poison - MU vs aggro
+ Southsea Squidface - cavern shinyfinder
+ Coldlight Oracle - MU against control
- Match-ups
- Vs Control: highly favoured
- Vs Midrange: even - favoured
- Vs Aggro: highly unfavoured
Thanks for reading, the guide is not completed yet. And btw I’m not native speaker so hope you guys still understand and forgive my incorrect grammars.
Update: - 1 Cheat Death + 1 Fan of Knife
Some games i can't find Coldlight Oracle, so I add additional card draw, also FOK helps a bit in early game. While Cheat Death is such an odd when the opponents play around it.
How i can replace Edwin Vancleaf?
I was missing Valeera the Hollow and Evasion and I've found 2 x Fal'dorei Strider to be a decent replacement
I haven't tried with Fal'dorei Strider in mill deck yet, cause i don't want to get any 4/4 spiders to hand when I use Vanish. But that's just me, maybe it's work for you. I might try the idea later.
Valeera the Hollow and Evasion easily give you a free turn to pass while you need to draw more specific cards. The hero also give you very power hero power which allow you to cast 3x Coldlight Oracle to fatigue opponent to death or make your last Coldlight Oracle becomes 2
This deck is so cancerous...
It can be cured by aggro but agasint control, It's very Dörty indeed
First, I really enjoy playing decks like this and you did a great job... that said it's not great for the meta because it punishes control decks and then less people play control because they don't want to lose to this deck so they switch to aggro. Then we have a ton of aggro decks in the meta which are more heavy on RNG. It's just bad for the game, especially when this isn't anything that can be nerfed really.
That aside, this is a really fun deck to play with and that is the main thing that matters i guess
The one thing that bums me out about this: Blade Flurry does not get lifesteal. Doesn't poison work with it?
Totally loving this decklist though!
Poison gives weapon lifesteal. Blade flurry destroys weapon and deals its damage as a spell.
Thanks, glad that you like it. I mainly use this at late game when there's no Vanish to use. Even without life steal, you can easily deal possible 5+ dmg (with at least 2 enchantments), that's almost clear everything on the board, then just use Coldlight Oracle (when there're few cards left in the deck) or Cavern Shinyfinder to get it back then smash face again.
Great deck, the addition of kingsbane to mill rogue pushes it over the edge, from a decent meme to a great deck with lots of potential. Im looking forward to screwing people in ladder with this deck!
yes, I faced another mill rogue that use Fal'dorei Strider, but when i gathered a 7/3 kingsbane with lifesteal, he had no chance to win. I try other version with Doomsayer and Tar Creeper, but they just make match up against aggro better slightly, but harder agaisnt control.
What do you think about The Darkness? When i think about it seems like it would rock in this deck. I was thinking if you take out the ferry man, you wont lose to much utility. That way we have another late game threat and it counter raza priest
