Intro;
Hi again and again fellas. Here is an incredible fun to play rogue deck for you. Tbh while i'm really bad at playing other type of rogue decks (miracle, pirate, jade, mill) i just wanted to make another one which is easier to play and still fun. And also i personally think rogue shouldn't stick with planned finishing combos. There should be hell ammount of tricky plays while you play a rogue and this one surely provides them.
Firstly you can drive your opponent crazy with your huge ammount of steals. With your free one turn mana tokens you can play huge minions during midgame (like ragnaros). We also have N'zoth for an alternate endgame play. Yogg, the RNG Lord brings more tricks and also sometimes saves your butt.
Card Choices & How to play them;
Backstab (2x): Cheapest early game remover in whole game. Combo generator. 3* damage for 0 mana with Bloodmage Thalnos and Azure Drake. Everything. Always mulligan one.
Counterfeit Coin (1x): Starting with an extra The Coin? Sure, thank you! This is a new rogue card with MSoG patch and it's very useful as combo generator and summoning nice minions one mana cheaper. Always keep this as well.
Preparation (2x): Perfect tempo card. Keep if you also got Burgle. Also works great if you got Bloodmage Thalnos or Azure Drake with a Fan of Knives. so you can perform a 2* damage aoe play on turn 2 or 5.
Swashburglar (2x): No need to explain this. Even with 1/1 stupid body, this is seriously a key card here.
Eviscerate (2x):
Undercity Huckster (2x):
Burgle (2x):
Fan of Knives (2x):
SI:7 Agent (2x):
Tomb Pillager (2x):
Ethereal Peddler (2x):
Azure Drake (2x):
Lotus Agents (1x):
Mulligans;

Replacements / Alternative Lists;
If you want to success with this deck you just shouldn't replace legendaries like Bloodmage Thalnos, N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Yogg-Saron, Hope's End.
Other 3 legendaries, Edwin VanCleef, Xaril, Poisoned Mind and Ragnaros the Firelord are also useful in this deck but if you don't have them here's some alternatives to choose for you;
- Lotus Agents (2nd one)
- Counterfeit Coin (2nd one)
- Journey Below (for N'zoth-Yogg synergies)

Hi. Nice to hear that m8. And yeah, when things go a bit right, this turns into one of the funniest deck ever ;) Good luck.
Well, this is not a miracle or otk deck and you rarely need n'zoth or yogg to win. so you don't need auctioneer in this deck. I almost never went out of cards playing this neither. And you should use preparation on turn 1-2 if you got burgle too or for an early Edwin play.
Here's my take on the Burgle Rogue - a lot different, as i've played and made many adjustments against Control and Pirates over time, only real weak spot is a druid with a board of 8/8 jades, the rest you'll have a decent game against. Compared to this deck its more consistent and has some more staying power i feel, without all the coins:
- 1 Coin, -2 Prep, -1 Journey, -1 Edwin, -2 Tomb Pillager, -1 Xaril, -1 Thalnos, -1 Azure, -1 Ragnaros, -1 Nzoth, -1 Yogg, -1 Backstab, -1 Fan of Knives
+ The Curator with 1x Nefarian, 1x Twilight Drake, 1x Mrrgglton and 2x Jeweled Scarab
+ Brann & 1x Shadowcaster
+ 1x Shadow Strike
+ 2x Defender of Argus
+ 2x Bloodsail Corsair, +1 Patches
+ 1x Grand Crusader
Some thoughts on how i ended up here
- A defensive Patches is a great way to get into the midgame
- Curator is a great 7 drop with taunt to refill your hand
- Jeweled Scarab has a load of great 3 drops to get for this deck: Burgle, Edwin, FoK, Shaku, ShStr, Brann etc.
- Mrgglton is a great versatile tool for whatever game you find yourself in.
- Shadowcaster + Brann on turn 8 gives you two 1 mana Branns for Nefarian and other ways too outvalue Reno decks.
- Twilight Drake is mainly there as a 2nd target to draw off of Curator, while being a 4 drop.
- Defender of Argus turned out my best choice for 4 drops, its a lot more defensive than Tomb Pillager, and has Brann synergy.
- The Grand Crusader adds some healing options, but is somewhat debatable. Its really fun though.
let me rephrase my post as a question
what's your opinion on battlecry vs deathrattle for burgle rogues, elvishak?
would like to hear from you! :)
Hi. Rogue class cards make deathrattle mechanic better than battlecry for any kind of decks imo. That's why we have an N'zoth here ;)
I'm going to try this out today. Looks like a lot of fun, as I opened a Shaku in a pack and was looking for a way to play it. Sounds like you've done some testing. I don't have Grand Crusader, so threw in Beneath the Grounds to mess with Renos.
I see no Lotus Agents in the decklist, but it is on the cover.
Hi. Yes cos that card has been replaced. You can check revision history. It's a nice card but a little slow in current meta. And also 3 5 cost cards are enough. I tried current deck list and felt way more comfortable.
This deck usually takes control against any jade decks. Especially you can own jade druids before they build a jade army. Any kind of priests and mages are also good matchups. Bad matchups are pirate warriors and any kind of rogues cos you cant reduce cost of stolen cards against them.
i edited the cover as well ;) Good luck.
Really, really fun deck... but, RNG hasn't been kind to me so far LOL.
Ye some luck is surely needed but when you steal some good stuff you can own any kind of decks around ;)
Lady luck has changed for me, some solid wins mostly against Jade Druids including a 6/6 Edwin VanCleef on turn 1. Poor guy conceded soon after...
This deck is too fun, it should come with a warning! Check out this replay against this Priest... poor guy didn't know what was happening. And the end... too funny!

Such an amazing game ;) Priest is the best matchup for this deck anyway lol.
Ah ywc and you always better write your feedbacks ;) I was busy this weekend but i will update this deck again in a few days. Btw that Velen play was amazing :d
https://hsreplay.net/replay/25Q4bUZqsPVVuYM8uELPRL
As i said before this deck seriously counters jade decks amazingly ;)
Btw do you also use my current decklist? I found out 2 azure drakes are much for this deck and lotus agents is also slow. Xaril is more useful than both and there should be at least 3 4 mana cost minions. So i added back him and kept one journey below for combo plays.
Hi m8. Nice game. I also felt Journey Below fits this deck better instead some other cards. I added 2x Journey Below instead Lotus Agents and Xaril, Poisoned Mind. Cos against pirate warriors you can discover Mistress of Mixtures and Infested Tauren. they do very well against pirate shits. I crafted and tried shaku too but as i said before a 2/3 body for 3 mana is really bad. It's not guaranteed you can use him even once. So i'm doing good with current list and i'll update deck soon. Keep having fun.
