Hi my name is Rens, probably better known as Sezoklo (this name doesn't mean anything, and no I am not Russian, I am from the Netherlands) and I play hearthstone way too much.
I've been playing on high legend ladder for quite some time right now and had a decent amount of high finishes as well. I stream almost every game I play on www.twitch.tv/sezoklo on a daily basis.
This is the first time I tried writing a guide and I want to do this more in the future so might as well start right now on day 1 of the year of the dragon. Feel free to give me advice or ask questions.
The rotation and new expansion Rise of shadows just hit and everyone wants to know what the best decks are, understandable.
Yesterday, the first day of the Rise of shadows I managed to hit rank 1 legend(eu, hardest server btw Kappa) playing a rogue deck which I think works really well, it probably still needs a lot of reworking and there might be better rogue lists out there already. The list felt solid, consistent and fun to play.
The mulligan is pretty interesting right now since everything has changed it's hard to tell what you're up against, I'll try to make it as clear as possible and again, this is day 1, I have my doubts about some cards, this deck isn't optimized and it will definitely see some changes.
Starting hand; a lot of people like to keep backstab, I would keep backstab in case I'm a 100% sure I face aggro or in case you can combo raiding party with it when you are not on coin, this means that most of the time when u face priest/warrior/druid you never keep backstab, you want to find bigger threats in the beginning vs these classes like Thug, Edwin when you have coin, dropping down a deckhand on turn 1 isn't bad vs warrior and priest either since they have a hard time removing it, also u want to have value vs the control match ups so keeping 1x raiding party is good, keeping myra's is good too.
Long story short; Keep deckhand vs warrior/priest, always keep thug, raiding party, Edwin on coin, myra's, ooze vs rogue's and maybe warriors.
Since there are a lot of rogue's on ladder 1x ooze is fine to run, I experimented this same list with Chef Nomi but it never worked out, I can see it work, but it's not consistent enough, especially with a lot of aggro on ladder it's bad.
This is a smorc list, don't feel bad for prepping a backstab sometimes just to make your Edwin bigger in case you don't have another spell to play. As soon as you've played your first raiding party and got the waggle pick you have to start smorcing. Drawing the waggle picks without using raiding party is the worst thing that can happen, so in case u have 1 waggle pick already and you are holding on to a raiding party, make sure to play(combo) the raiding party asap since you really don't want to top deck the 2nd waggle pick. Raiding party and the dread corsairs can cause super powerful swing turns, for example:(4mana) prep>raiding party>equip waggle pick>free corsairs>turn after Captain Greenskin.
Waggle pick is an interesting weapon, since it can backfire as well, imagine having a thug on board and the weapon equipped, u don't want to return the thug obviously. Cards u want to return might be Edwin in some combo turns, deckhand isn’t always bad, EVIL miscreant is the nuts to return most of the time and Leeroy of course.
The waggle pick is 1 of the reasons why I started running Ooze as well, destroying the weapon and returning 1 of your opponent's minions like dread corsair or thug is pretty good and slows down your rogue opponent a lot.
So, there is no doubt EVIL miscreant is a good card, the lackeys are really good, I wouldn't keep EVIL miscreant in my starting hand though(EDIT: KEEP IT ON COIN ALWAYS, NO COIN NEVER KEEP), I've tried that a couple of times but it's a bit slow and you never want to tempo it out without combo'ing it.
Lackeys 1 mana 1-1's:
- Goblin Lackey “Battlecry: Give a friendly minion +1 attack and rush".
- Ethereal Lackey “Battlecry: Discover a spell" this card discovers a spell from your own class, in this case rogue, rogue spells are good.
- Faceless Lackey "Battlecry: summon a random 2-cost minion" just don't summon doomsayer 4Head.
- Kobold Lackey "Battlecry: Deal 2 damage"
- Witchy Lackey "Battlecry: Transform a friendly minion into one that costs (1) more”.
So, because of the Lackeys, in my opinion I think it's not bad to run HeistBaron Togwaggle, the treasure is really powerful and who doesn't like RANDOM legendaries? I am not going to say that Heistbaron is a good card, the card feels fine to me and I guess I just like treasure, if u manage to get 1 of the treasures the card is worth running. A big downside to the card is that sometimes it's just a 6 mana 5-5 because you need a Lackey on the board to trigger the battlecry.
I am still experimenting with the card and so far, it didn't let me down as much as Chef Nomi did. There are probably better cards to run, but again, the meta is fresh and things will change.
Hmmm, I don't wanna say "git gud scrub", but this deck is seriously strong - I've played a similar version just post launch and hit R5 from R8 in around an hour. I've jumped to Conjurer Mage because of Bomb Warriors.
This deck has problems vs fast decks (Token Druid is a nightmare) and you can't really tech against them, so if you're hitting a wall (a lot of control decks) you need to switch. It's a waste of time and effort, as your overall winrate vs those decks is below 50%.
Fast climbed from rank 8 to 4. Now trying to reach higher and I think the deck is capable of doing it. Thanks a lot for the list, when played correctly this deck is great.
Tip of the day.
I see alot of players playing prep + raiding party on T1. I cant say its allways wrong but its often much more powerful on T3 cuz you can use it to activate SI or EVIL mis. so no stress, use hero power on T2 almost always and snowball frome here :)
true, unless u have a pickaxe already i like using it, or in case u feel like getting the 2-1 and u wanna play it turn 1.
Lets all be braindead and copy decks :)
Tbh im completely new to these kind of things and this is the first time I ever wrote something like this and im happy i did. Everyone just likes playing decks that work well, makes a lot of sense.
I can't use a waggle pick properly. Most of the time it doesn't do anything,
Come watch me tonight using it.
This deck struggles VS aggro a fair bit, is there a way to fit in Fan of Knives to help with that? Like maybe cut a Sap
U could if u keep facing token/zoo it might be a good tech card though I still think this list should be able to deal with those decks, sometimes they just highroll the F out of u, i guess vs aggro just keep backstab, EVIL miscreant on coin, maybe try to make a big eddy and just snowball ur way there.
Captain hooktusk vailable in this deck? Or do you have a competitive Hooktusk deck?
Alvast bedankt voor de reply?
lost 2 games vs murloc shaman but manage to win vs warrior and mage, i believe this deck needs more cheap drops. here are my 2 wins video:
Glad ur enjoying the list love seeing ur content :)
Really enjoying this deck, however I am having zero success vs token druid. What is the game plan here?
hope they dont have whispering woods, go hard on them and kill them, they dont have armor gains or anything rlly, take risks, get board and at one point just decide whether u wanna go face or trade to play around things like savage roar. Search for eddy and lackey when ur on coin helps a lot as well.

13-1 so far. Best deck I have ever played. :) Dankjewel gast!
Welkom :) laatste dagen speel ik een ander deck in Amerika, vendetta rogue, komt ook een guide voor binnenkort. Goed om te horen dat het deck werkt voor je!
Put Spirit of shark in here, had some sweet synergy and extra crazy combos
