Welcome to our Toxic Rogue Guide.

Motivation

After the big nerf of Blade Flurry we still want to build a tempo and combo orientated Rogue deck. WoG is the first expantion rogue getting a new removel spell named Shadow Strike and some other good cards like Shadowcaster and Xaril, Poisoned Mind. We got the idea just to keep the basic oil kit and try it with more minions.

Introduction

Rogue has a unique playstyle which makes this class different from many other classes. The best meta for a rogue deck is a slow midrange oriented meta because you can build up amazing tempo against most decks in the midgame with cards like Backstab, SI:7 Agent and Violet Teacher. Some minions are pretty aggresive like Tomb Pillager and Azure Drake, also Edwin VanCleef got buffed because of the nerfs of Big Game Hunter and Ironbeak Owl. It is good for ladder if you can avoid Control Warrior and Face Decks like Hunter or Shaman. Most games are decided between turn 8 and turn 11. After this turns you got the problem of running out of cards because of the huge ammount of cards that are drawn with Gadgetzan Auctioneer. Try to finish the game with Board damage and some little nuke spells like Eviscerate.

Guide

Versus an aggresive opponent you want to keep Backstab, SI:7 Agent, Earthen Ring Farseer and Deadly Poison. This are the best tools to handle early aggression and fight for a early board. If your opponent is a midrange deck you want Backstab, SI:7 Agent, Violet Teacher and Preparation but only if you have a Sap an Eviscerate or a Shadow Strike too. In a control matchup its more important too find your cycle cards so you keep Azure Drake, one 4-Drop like Tomb Pillager and Deadly Poison to handle the early drops. Your main wincondition in the control matchups is Gadgetzan Auctioneer, it`s very important to draw at least 3 to 4 cards with this in one Turn. You can always keep Edwin VanCleef if you start with The Coin and allready got a Deadly Poison.
