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.
soon ill write a new guide since this one is out of date rlly but i would highly recommend playing this deck since its the nuts, u dont need togwaggle though, u could run anything else instead, another shadowstep, maybe a lifedrinker, togwaggle is to slow most of the time but it can work out.
If you don't main rogue, I'd disenchant, only because it's golden though, if it was nornal I'd say stick with it.
get in to rogue and play it, it's top tier, give it a try, master it, gain ranks
I received a golden Myra's Unstable Element and really want to disenchant it. Feels like this is the only deck where its really shining. Maybe I can try that Khadgar mage? :\
you play Myra when you are trying to find that last bit of damage for lethal, or when you are out of cards and need to put some pressure in order to stay relevant. Its most often used when you are close to winning and your hand is almost empty. It gives you a lot of cards to find lethal in that or the next 1-2 turns.
in case u have myra's u wanna empty ur hand, u can tell a rogue has myra's as soon as they just evis face and things like that (starting to empty their hand). Myra's is like the last resort, it can make u draw lethal in some cases, if not, empty ur hand asap and try to play it in order to kill ur opponent.
After a lot of playing this deck I really think Chef Nomi can be an extremely powerful addition to this deck. I've won the game a lot of times with him, even on turn 6. I don't know if it's different for ranks 10 or higher but between 15 and 10 it's really good.
Also, token druid can't do much about Chef Nomi as far as I can tell! I haven't lost a game against token druid when I had Myra and Nomi.
(I'm not an expert so correct me if I'm wrong though)
I tried Nomi as well, not sure how often Nomi saved my ass, sometimes I felt like I played in to Nomi to much and made mistakes because of that. Still an interesting card to run that's for sure ;)
I also don't understand why Myra is good to have... someone please explain!
It's one of the strongest cards in the deck. You can run out of cards very quickly and Myra provides that final push you need.
it allows u to throw away ur hand, u can just play anything(evis face etc) untill ur hand is empty at one point and then u draw ur entire deck :D But never keep myra's versus rogues, man I have to update this guide badly, i will do soon.
replacement for Greenskin?
I used cold blood while i was saving dust for the capitain. The deck works without greenskin but is not even close as good without him. Coldblod can make great removal and finishing combos.
When is the best time to play Myra? I can’t figure this card out.
You'll know. When you need to finish a game quickly is really really powerfull.
This deck is fun, but it gets completely raped by Warrior, and everyone is playing Warrior at my rank (bottleneck to Legend)
Great deck! This seems like a real powerhouse on the ladder right now. The only two cards I'm missing are Greenskin and Myra's. Which would you prioritize to craft first? They both seem like they're core to this deck.
Greenskin is such a great and strong combo with waggle and raiding party. Myras is more a finishing card and very situational by the way. Greenskin is almost always a must play when you draw it with raiding. I would go for greenskin
Sap is completely useless here. Also Myra's Unstable Element is awful.
Yeah, one of the most powerful cards in the game, potentially removing a huge taunt to push face damage is definitely "completely useless" in an aggro deck.
