A Kingsbane list I've been having a lot of success recently!
PROOF:
---------------------
EDIT:
Currently 42-8 With the deck. This deck is just insane in the right hands. The only matchup I'm having problems with are Odd Mages - But you can easily beat them playing your Vanishes perfectly!
GUIDE:
Mulligan:
1. Kingsbane - The deck is basically built around the weapon. So having it in your starting hand is going to get you off to the best start.
2. Cavern Shinyfinder - Excellent way to draw your Kingsbane if It didn't start in your hand. Can be useful at mid game to redraw your Kingsbane once It's shuffled
3. Raiding Party - Similiar to Shinyfinder. Another great way to get your Kingsbane with 2 Pirates! Excellent if you have your coin / prep
4. Fan of Knives - Keep FOK if you're against aggro opponent. Its an easy way to deal with Odd Paladin and it draws you another card!
GENERAL:
Early game: Your is focused on buffing your Kingsbane or tracking it down If it didn't start in your hand.
Mid game: Continue buffing your Kingsbane and keep the board under control! Find your Leeching Poison and keep yourself healed. You can use your Doomerang for removing stuff and getting your weapon back to your hand.
Late game: Once your Kingsbane is big you should start killing your opponent with it. Use Vanish / Sap to get rid of taunt minions or Water Elementals if you're facing mage. Valeera is very usefull in late game - You can basically double sap / double buff your weapon and Valeera gives you a one turn of safety.
MATCHUPS:
Aggro:
1. You can have a hard time dealing with aggro. Just try to keep the board under as much control as possible. If they develop a big board you can use your Fan of Knives or Blade Flurry to clear it.
2. Get your leeching poison as soon as possible! It's going to help you to outlast the damage from aggro decks.
3. Vanish can be a turn 6 play to slow down your opponent. Keep in mind you can do it earlier with your prep+vanish combo.
4. Don't be afraid to throw your Doomerang at weaker minions. Aggro doesn't usually run too many big minions (Best to throw it with your Leeching Poison on so you get the healing aswell)
Control:
1. Kingsbane is pretty safe against other control decks. So take your time drawing your buffs.
2. You have a lot of removal options for their big threats - Doomerang, Blade Flurry, Sap and Vanish if their hand is full. You can also try playing walk the plank - It's a decent card to run.
3. You can also play pretty greedy with Vanishing your buff minions back to your hand and buffing your Kingsbane even further!
4. If your opponent has setup a winning play you can simply swing their face for extra lifesteal then play Valeera to give you a chance to delay it and find a way to counter them.
5. Sprint is very useful against control decks. Helps you to find your resources and your Kingsbane if you haven't found it yet.
6. Mojomaster Zihi - An excellent tech card against control and combo decks! I've been having ton of success with Zihi!
Thank you for really fun deck. With it i went down right to 15 rank from 11. You'll always fight golden hunter without lifesteal in first 28 card, zoo warlock with keleseth on turn 2, odd paladin with no fan (and fun) and vanish, but sometimes you'll meet someone, who don't play on agro deck like shudderwock shaman. Change your deck on some cancer, get 10 or even 5 rank, and only then play with dagger rogue.
hi in the past b4 raiding party, there were only 3 ways to draw kingsbane directly (2 caverns and kingsbane itself) , albeit 2 indirect ways in the form of 2 X elven minstrel. With 2 X raiding party, u know have a total of 5 ways. doing some rough maths, 30/5 is 6. so with every 6 cards on average, that set should have a weapon drawer or the weapon itself. This is much better than the old 30/3 = 10++. this deck also runs cycle cards in the form of fan of knives and sprint (a bit clunky, but can be used with prep), it is likely u will be able to delay the game till u get ur kingsbane. thats what ur other cards that is not the weapon, not the weapon drawer, and not the weapon buffs are for. vanishes, saps, fan of knives, dread corsairs all help to prolong u for a while before u get ur weapon eventually. To ensure ur life is prolonged, use them smartly. dont use them prematurely , try to extract value, so lets say ur opponent is hunter with 2 minions on board at turn 4, its ur turn , do u vanish? no. u wait till they use their turn 5 wolf cesspool hax spellstone before vanishing. eventually if u can extract value, u will then get ur weapon by turn... 10? and then try to control the game by buffing the weapon and getting lifesteal.
In desperate situations against aggro, do not be afraid to drop ur minions to buff ur normal dagger, as they act as bodies and also buff ur weapon to clear bigger minions. then again, aggro is the bane of kingsbane, and kingsbane is mainly for fighting control, so its rather natural to lose i guess? against control u have so much more time to draw the kingsbane and right cards, so its fine.
I really hope Kingsbane decks become meta so we have a good reason to nerf Leeching Poison into the Ground. That card was a mistake.
Actually Kingsbane Keep all Enchantments is the biggest mistake if you look it forward in the future.

Such a fenomenal deck, been running 10-0 so far. Thanks for sharing !
<3
Another fun and interactive Rogue deck! Cancerous trash... The choice of cucks worldwide haha
Thanks a ton! This deck is absolutely insane. It beats pretty much anything that isn't on perfect curve and is pretty straightforward.
I hada ton of fun playing this and I hope you do too. I made a video showcasing the deck in all its glory, ENJOY
Very cool deck plutoceku <3
nice deck!
You may laugh but I ve substituted him for Lab Recruiter. You often run outof pirates to draw with Raiding Party. Plus makes up for lack of attack from not having Captain Greenskin
Am i just super unlucky or am i playing the deck wrong?
I agressively mulligan for weapon draw cards. Every game i either dont get card draw/lifesteal soon enough or i dont get my weapon draw cards soon enough. So im waiting, stalling every game due to not getting good draws. Am i doing something wrong?
Yep i've experimented a bit for a few days, hadn't played for month, got easily from rank 20 to rank 5, odd mages are not even a such big pain in the ass, i've just cut the Dread Corsair for two Walk the Plank, great against big minions and divine shield and nice tip Stringtype but i'm worried one Doomerang less will make the deck worse against aggro, which is a big weakness for this deck if you don't draw your Leeching Poison, what other card could be replaced with Zihi ?
I replaced one Doomerang and put in one Mojomaster Zihi. Mojomaster Zihi is winning me a lot of games, highly recommend--especially with prep Vanish so you can play it a second time. You completely lock out decks that need 8-mana plus or so for heavy combos or cards like Shudderwock. Deck is so good now that it feels broken.
All your cards are at five mana or less, except for spells, Zihi, and Valeera (and you can prep spells). So perfect.
EDIT: I actually ended up putting the second Boomerang back in and took out one of those Shinyfinder dudes. I've been at that for a couple of days now, but maybe I'll replace something else eventually.
At rank 5 I've been facing a lot of control and Zihi has worked great the few games I've played with her. Thanks for the tip.
Is there any Captain Greenskin replacment?
Hey, thanks for your answer!
I'm gonna replace it with Backstab and see how it will work :D
I would recommend replacing with a draw effect like elven minstrel since you will need to redraw your kingsbane faster without him.
I would throw in a Lab Recruiter, to shuffle some compies of another weapon buff minion.
