Just killed a warrior on turn 6 from 33 health with nothing but a Necrium Blade on board
Edit: thanks for the upvotes. Here's a small description:
The deck's idea is to assemble the whole combo through a single Elven Minstrel. That happens 100% of the time when you do not play the Cavern Shinyfinder, however i have found that card to add consistency rather than lower it.
The way you actually win is by having a 1 charge Necrium Blade equipped, then playing Kobold Illusionist -> attack > Backstab (or Razorpetal) the Illusionist and then burn the opponent. That's 4 mana for 2 copies of Malygos. Shadowsteps only help prepare a 2 mana Illusionist, leading to an even cheaper setup, that can allow us to burn even a high armor opponent. They are however not highly important and are probably the first cards to replace.
Cards like Bloodmage Thalnos, Vilespine Slayer or some taunts would help keep us alive, but would lead to us needing more time and more draw. Personally, i have not found that version of the deck as interesting or effective.
Edit #2: i've replaced the two Shadowsteps for one Sudden Betrayal and one Necrium Vial, as a test. The first is aimed at helping against aggro and the second against high armor decks (and slow draws).
As for Mulligan choices: Always keep one Elven Minstrel, as he gets us the full combo. Mulligan aggressively for him.
If you are certain the opponent is playing aggro, you can keep effective removal like Backstab or Sap. If you are certain they are slow, keep Preparation and Razorpetal Volley, as they speed things up for you.
Update #3:
I replaced the Shinyfinder with a second Sudden Betrayal, partially because the secret was performing well, partially because of a rage moment on a shinyfinder topdeck on the wrong turn.
I am personally getting close to a 50% winrate against zoo, which should be a very bad matchup. Don't play like a typical control deck. When the pressure is not too high, try to ignore it and setup your combo. You have to win first, not outlast them.
Thank everyone for the enormous feedback. This is something i never expected. I hope you keep having fun!
Final Edit:
I do not have the time to refine this deck as much as I would like. However as many of you have found, tuning it is not too hard, because there are a few simple guidelines to follow.
1. You should be very careful about adding more minions. Every one reduces the effectiveness of Elven Minstrel by a lot, and that card is the soul of the deck.
2. Mulligan almost everything for Elven Minstrel and go for the combo as soon as possible. If your opponent doesn't have lethal on board and you can set up the OtK, go for it. Don't play this as control because the rogue class does not have the tools for that.
3. Don't give up if your opponent is gaining a lot of armour. If you find the right spells you can burn through obscene amounts of it, as demonstrated in the videos.
And an important clarification. The deck has a somewhat weird approach to it. Contrary to what most players are used to, the aim is not to have a fair chance to win every game. Instead the deck aims at being extremely favoured when drawing properly, while accepting that there will be a few games you just concede. It is in a sense a coinflip deck, except the odds depend on the metagame, rather than always being 50-50.
Updated for Rastakhan: 2 Walk the Planks and one Cavern Shinyfinder in the place of two secrets and an Assassinate.
The deck is now much smoother and can actually be used for ranking up consistently.
Here's a video of the deck by Kiwiinbacon.
And here is the second video!
Man, I am still playing it without changes and I am at 70% win rate. I am a rogue player and this is probably my favourite deck with the mill rogue. Thanks a lot :))))
Great deck, 20 games in 0% winrate
You're a bit late.
This was a standard deck before rotation. I have no idea how it may fare in wild.
Boy, I am still playing it without any change and I am at 70% win rate. Sorry but the issue is in you, no offence :)
I'm not trying to bash on this deck but I don't see this getting to the Legend rank. Most people I see responding are just entering Standard, and will more than likely fail in the current meta.
I've climbed to rank 7 playing Odd-Rogue, and 80% of your opponents will be spell/secret hunters. I was just breezing by and saw this post, and wanted to give my opinion.
It must be fun to play but being serious in the meta I don't see it as playable. Though I might try it out for fun once I get to rank 5.
The deck can outpace the dominant hunter decks. The one possible problem if your opponent understands what you are playing is Snipe.
Getting only a single Malygos off of the Kobold makes the OtK plan nearly impossible.
-2 Elven Minstrel
Anybody tried Gral. the Shark
The deck is already weak against aggro and weapon removal. Making it also weak against silence and polymorph effects seems too much.
I cannot be sure without testing it but I'd say the risk is not worth the reward.
15% of the time, it works every time.
Why the Doomerang?
Plenty of games where I'm within lethal but they put a taunt minion up that will kill me but I need to get rid of my weapon and don't have enough mana to finish the kill. In addition, I see it as having 3 weapons. Those Necrium Blades do work. I like to use one early game stabilize the board or go to face if I think I can combo out early. Sprint is a god send especially if you can draw into a preparation. Two doesn't seem good, just as 2 saps feels really bad.
I have played this archetype a lot, here is my version below. The deck is pretty strong, it is available for climbing, but it is hard to pilot...
That's some statement without a source. Cool story bro.
Malygos will be going to the hall of fame...
Do not waste dust on this stupid deck. You can win but it is rare. Best case this is 40% win deck. It is very hard to get the cards you need.
Hello there!
REALLY FUN DECK HERE!!
A lot of fun to OTK, first time I tried a deck like that!
BUT don't use it to clim, it's very random...
My version doesn't use Sudden Betrayal, but i use Shadowstep instead. this way you can spend that 2 mana elsewhere
Same feelings here about Necrium Vial. The problem is that you need to summon Kobold Illusionist and Necrium Vial in the same turn (4+5 manas). There is 1 mana left, and you have to cast 2-3 spells with only one mana. It basically imposes to have one or even two Preparation in your hand. Since past turn 10, this situation is unlikely to occur.
On the contrary, the deck lacks of cards making it more consistant.
