Mulligan:
Always Keep: Fire Fly, Razorpetal Lasher
Vs Aggro: Backstab, Fan of Knives (mostly against odd paladin or when you have Preparation / Spell dmg)
Vs Control: Shiv or Bloodmage Thalnos (for card draw), Fal'dorei Strider
When you have good mana curve or combo potential: SI:7 Agent, Elven Minstrel, Vilespine Slayer (mostly against control decks and Mountain Giant)
Card Replacements:
Rogue needs healing against aggro decks. You can add more healing like Shroom Brewer.
Vilespine Slayer - Assassinate (when you are on budget)
Side Notes:
Mossy Horror - really interesting card that can counter Doomsayer, Spreading Plague or any small minions.
Against Control Decks it's not a terrible idea to keep Preparation with Sprint.
Be Careful about Skulking Geist because it can destroy Razorpetal From Razorpetal Lasher (it's bonus burst dmg)
WANTED! is mainly to get a coin to make OTK easier.
Keep coins or Preparation to use them with Malygos.
Combos:
Malygos + Sinister Strike -> 8 points of dmg to opponent face
Malygos + Coin or Preparation + Eviscerate -> 9 points of dmg to anything
Malygos + Razorpetal -> 6 points of dmg to anything
Malygos + Backstab -> 7 points of dmg to single undamaged target
Malygos + Preparation or double Coin (from Valeera the Hollow) + Fan of Knives -> 6 points of dmg to all enemy minions
Cards Explanation:
Backstab - combo enabler or cheap way to remove a minion
Preparation - cheat out a spell or enable a combo
Sinister Strike - finisher
Eviscreate - rogue can easily trigget combo effects. it's basically 2 mana deal 4 points of dmg
Razorpetal Lasher - this provides additional spell for malygos or to activate combo effect
Sap - get rid of anything big. your opponent will have to spend another turn on playing it
Shiv - cycle and deal small amount of dmg
Fan of Knives - more card draw and you can combine it with spell dmg to kill small minions that were developed by opponent
SI:7 Agent - rogue can easily use this card to deal almost always 2 points of dmg or just play this on curve without combo
Elven Minstrel - card draw and you can thin your deck so you will have a bigger chance of getting spiders. with a little bit of luck this can give you malygos
Fal'dorei Strider - fill your deck with spiders. more value and you can cycle easily to get those creatures
WANTED! - get a coin that will help you to burst your opponent with malygos
Vilespine Slayer - kill big minion
Sprint - card draw that to not require other card or use of preparation (so it's better than gadgetzan)
Valeera the Hollow - get one more turn to survive until the combo with malygos and gain value.
Fire Fly - easy way to trigger combo effect or sth to paly on turn one
Bloodmage Thalnos - card draw and spell dmg. everything that rogue needs
Mossy Horror - counter small minion played by odd paladin, zoolock or even shaman. it's great against spreading plague
Malygos - make your spells uber powerful
Yeah I crafted my fal’dorskies and preps to play this as well. This deck is fun as hell and is quite competitive, I’m playing it around rank 4 trying to up my rogue standard wins (lowest of all my classes at like 27 wins haha).
hughly recommend this deck! Feels fresh
I just crafted my fal'dorei's and preps today to play miracle. now I need malygos, mossy and wanted as well to play this deck.
I reckon just go for it because these cards are probably going to still be used. I mean maybe wanted is more niche, but mossy and mally are safe as houses.
Love the deck. Surprisingly doing much better than I do with Maly Druid.
However I'm having a lot of trouble with Big Spell Mage. The problem I keep having is that I get Skulking Geist'd which isn't a game ender itself, but then they just gain a buttload of armor off my spider tokens. Normally, I'd just not play minions since most of their spells focus on killing minions, but they always get value off of Arcane Artificer + Flamestrike since I can't necessarily control when the spider tokens show up. They always seem to weasel their way out of burst range. Do you have any advice for that matchup?
100% wr vs shudderwock shaman (9:0)
sorry whats the win condition of this deck?
i used to play some maly druid and it was almost ok but you lose in most cases against ooze or combo shaman/warrior and any control warlock that can heal and prevent damage easily but druids spreading plague, howl and malfurion can save you from the aggro
can rogues stand against aggro?
and like
lets imagine
in the best case u valeera, maly coin sinister sinister prep evis prep evis = 34 damage? am i right? so basically you have to gather 8 cards to play this combo and if it is warrior/taunt or big druid or any other charachter that can have more than 35 it is insta lose. and beside spiders theres nothing that can impact on board.
please explain me or correct. gl with ladder bois
PS maybe worth adding alex?
played some games against locks and 100% can say that if u dont have vilespine slayer to answer to giant then you are dead
Because it's pretty decent early game and you have very little early game. That little 2/2 can often be what you need to create good tempo. There aren't two because two would be too many since you really don't want to draw it late game unless you're desperate for more burn.
Decks runs pretty well! Ended up cutting bloodmage and mossy and stuck in 2x hench thugs be ause they are just a busted card in rogue that can win a lot of games on its own if not dealt with
This is a good deck. But all the other meta rogue decks are even better :)
Maybe even kingsbane IMO
Can someone explain why the mulligan tips say to always keep Razorpetal Lasher, yet the deck only has one?
Just because it uses classic cards...doesn't mean it's broken.
This deck demonstrates the problem with the classic set model. EIGHTEEN cards are classic. That's absurd, showing both how powerful rogue's classic set is and how broken the class could be with one or two extra strong cards in any given expansion.
I really like this deck, but don't have Malygos, Wanted or Mossy horror. Now, I do have some spare dust but not sure if it's a safe bet before the launch of a new expansion. What you guys think? Craft or Wait?
This deck is not easy or intuitive to play at all. If you're used to the control Rogue playstyle, then you'll probably have some success. If not, it'd be a waste. Malygos is a pretty safe craft but Wanted and Mossy Horror are questionable. I'd probably save the dust and just play something you do have the cards for.
Mossy has seem more consistent play lately that it's a pretty solid craft for the next couple years...Wanted is very questionable you are right, it feels like if they print something a tiny bit better it'll get pushed out, but coins are hard to come by now.
I actually just got malygos so I'll try this.
Fun deck but no answer for Zoolock
would love to play this. missing a ton of cards for it though unfortunately :(
Maly rogue is a bit awkward in my opinion because you can't do your tempo plays with preps and coins because you have to save them for Malygos.
Yes you can. This guide I think is sending the wrong message. Early game you use everything you have to get tempo and control the board. Once you have board control you can start worrying about piecing the rest of the combo together. You rarely need to pull off 30 damage so there's plenty of breathing room.
