INTRODUCTION
Hey there, I've always liked the idea of Control Rogue & with Reno Jackson in the picture I decided to make my own that matched my usual playstyle of your typical Tempo Rogue. I've revised this deck over the course of almost 100 matches & it came out with satisfying results, now here it is.



GAMEPLAN & MATCHUPS
Most other Reno Rogue decks take care of the board to stall out the game to create space. In this deck we can still play like a control version of Oil Rogue, by taking advantage of the more midgame with cards like Tinker's Sharpsword Oil to threaten your opponent, 1x Sprint to aggressively get a card advantage (also don't have to worry about not having reno(*coughcough* Reno Pally), Jeweled Scarab & Burgle to adjust to the situation & help get some cards to close down into the endgame. The early game is the same as your good old Oil Rogue, with the exception of Zombie Chow which you're all familiar how the match starts out. Overall great against Aggro, Midranged Pally + Druid, Tempo Mage, Freeze Mage,& is pretty decent against Secret Paladin, the tougher matchups are Combo Paladin, Control Warrior, & Hybrid Priest, but compared to Oil Rogue this decklist has more of a chance against Warrior.


MULLIGAN
Backstab, Deadly Poison, Zombie Chow, Jeweled Scarab, Goblin Auto-Barber, SI:7 Agent, Earthen Ring Farseer

Situational Mulligans
Eviscerate: You always want to keep this card with coin or with a low cost spell like Backstab,Deadly Poison, or if you're going second you'll always want to keep this
Fan of Knives: Keep this against Pally, they'll always have muster on turn 3
Reno Jackson: Keep against hyper-aggro decks


REPLACEMENTS

Bloodmage Thalnos:  Annoy-o-Tron, Ironbeak Owl, Mind Control Tech
Sylvanas Windrunner:  Piloted Sky Golem
Sneed's Old Shredder:  Ysera, Anub'arak, Nefarian
Earthen Ring Farseer: Unearthed Raptor, Argent Horserider ( these are just for personal preference )


CARD EXPLANATION

Betrayal: You don't see this card much in general, but it it does wonders in this type of deck. Most opponents don't even bother to play around this card which gives us an advantage over the midgame by efficiently clearing 1 or 2 solid bodies on board for a nice tempo swing

Goblin Auto-Barber: Rogues usually don't have 2 drops & this really helps fill in the gap, also you can get a 2atk weapon which helps since this deck doesn't have much weapon synergy compared to Oil Rogue. Overall a solid card.

Jeweled Scarab: I love this bug. Bad initial stats as a 2 drop, but the outcome of the 3 drops you can get are pretty good

Burgle: I've got to say this card is one of the best cards in the deck, even though its basically rng based, you can get some insane class cards which give this deck a lot of flexibility

Sneed's Old Shredder: I prefer running this over Ysera because its faster & you'll have just enough mana leftover for a low cost card. Another plus about this card is the minions it drops, worst case scenario it drops a Pagle, but usually you'll get a laughably op minion


CHANGELOG
(12/29): Argent Horserider > Earthen Ring Farseer
(12/29): Shiv > Goblin Auto-Barber
