Hi there,
As you know I am a rogue fan and as such, I tried since the new patch to build deck for this class which I believe is underrated at the moment. The deck here is very fun to play although not yet optimized if you wish to be really competitive. Give it a try and share your experience here. There is surely potential to improve it. All suggestions are welcome in the comment section.
New: make sure to check to new competitive version attempt of the deck via this link: https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1112853-new-kingsbane-a-competitive-version#related:similar-decks-collection

I also want to give a big thanks to Kiwiinbacon that has showcased the deck, please make sure to check his video:
General Idea of the deck: as for every kingsbane deck, you want to control your opponent while building enough value on your Kingsbane so you cannot be beaten in the late game.
Why is this version fun? In this deck we try to use the minions synergies offered by the new patch with the Kingsbane such as Cutthroat Buccaneer and Phantom Freebooter. This last card is great fun and surprise in the late game as you can pop two huge minions on the board if you combine it with Valeera the Hollow. I recommend also to combine the ability to play twice the same card with the minions mentioned above and your ability to get them back in your hand with Vanish while clearing the board at the same time.
If you like the idea of those decks, please upvote them, it is always appreciated and helps maintain discussion alive.
Thank you,
I enjoy with Kingsbane decks and I like this one, but I would like to suggest that I consider x2 Sap pretty important since always has a lot of potential, Phantom Freebooter it could be a replace to some card with early answers like Eviscerate or SI:7 Agent. Fal'dorei Strider is a card I love but with Vanish and the general idea of the deck I'm not sure if fit well.
It's true with the Whichwood exp isn't help a lot kingsbane deck's and it's underrated I think because the only decent new card is Cutthroat Buccaneer then the decks are really similar as before, nevertheless it's a great and interactive deck since was the best legendary weapon.
I don't like Cursed Castaway because is too expensive perhaps the combo draw is fine but isn't really strong, I'll give a try replacing Faldorei and that 2 random pirates with some cards which help me at the beginning of the match.
Kind regards,
.
i still don't understand why this deck doesnt run Envenom Weapon...can you not replace it with one leech?? O_O
even a 1 damage kingsbane with Enevenom weapon + flurry is sure to clear the board....anyone ??
Sadly this interaction doesn't work, but it would be awesome if it did.

You don't need a Poisonous 7 attack weapon, anything you hit will die anyways.
Because you pretty much just lose to aggro if your only Leeching Poison is at the bottom of the deck. Envenom is only good in control matchups and by the time they play something it'd be effective against, your weapon should have 6-8 attack. The only situation I see Envenom being more effective is against Spiteful Summoner. Teching a card for 1 deck is almost never a good idea.
Very happy to see this deck on the front page! Congrats man.
Before this patch, I really disliked Valeera for a Kingsbane deck for one major reason. Attrition when I ran out of cards. If I had my regular rogue, I could attack with Kingsbane, and cycle in my 1/2 dagger, then I drew my kingsbane and didn't get hit with damage for empty deck. I hit end of deck quite a few times, so it was a valid concern. I have not tried this deck, but I still have the same dread as I did before. I would add in a Mimic Pod to replace her. It is good for any card except kingsbane or leeching poison, from what I can see.
To avoid this you must destroy your beefed up Kingsbane late game with a Kingsbane image. Use the 1/3 to keep yourself from taking damage.
Valeera is an integral part of this deck.
I like witchwood piper over elven minstrel because it's guaranteed to pick up your shinyfinders (if you leave out the fireflies) first.
Similarly to the way discounted cards are played, it's a vanilla version of the card as it's a copy of the card itself, in it's more standard form. Like how handbuff minions with Echo, or discounted spells and minions with Echo don't travel over the playable copy of the card.
Works really good for me.
Thought i am going to have a bad time against HadDruid and CubeLock, but these are the best match ups right now.
But prepare yourself for long games.
I was hesitant to upvote this deck, but only because I don't want it to become meta before I can have enough fun with it lol
fun deck
I think i have all those cards except for Valeera- must craft? I liked playing the more mill variety before the rotation, that was the only version i could get to work.
I run something similar but I run Countess Ashmore as another tutor for Kingsbane
When you use Leeching Poison on Kingsbane it counts as a life steal card, and many times Countess Ashmore has helped me in long games where I used both my Cavern Shinyfinder already.
That's awesome! That would actually be legit. Rogue is my favorite class but outside of Quest/Odd Rogue it's been hard to climb (at least at rank 4-5).
had a 10/5 kingsbane against a quest priest :D the 40 heal made a great practice target
Scum deck, please stop trying to spread this disease.
