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.
Sprint is a great replacement for Myra's.
this list is autopilot once you play it 20-30 times. I was using myra in wild when it came out. This deck is all in do or die. You play it the way it rolls and your roll people with it, THAT SIMPLE. The baron is stupid dumb funny....I run this list and variations in solid gold. Friend me after I win and I'll say hi. This is pure gold farming fun on rank 15 rolling a legendary card back and golden valeera. I thank all the players who just concede at the start of the game. I'll have another 100 free packs for the next expansion too.
hey guys, I need your advice! I already have Myra's Unstable Element (+Chef nomi), Heistbaron Togwaggle and only 1600 dust left. Which legendary would you craft next considering that I have everything else from the deck? thx
Edwin VanCleef
If you only use rogue craft Edwin, otherwise go for leeroy
Clearly Edwin or Leeroy, these cards are both cards from the classic set, so they will be in standard rotation forever or until they are in the hall of fame. Leeroy can be used in every aggro deck and Edwin in almost every rogue deck, so depends what other decks you play besides those decks =)
This deck is excellent! I went 18-4 from rank 17 to rank 10 in less than 3 hours. However I replaced Greenskin by Harisson Jones to counter warrior more. Remember to keep Evil Miscreant in your starting hand at all time!
First thing I would like to say is great deck, I believe it could be a very competitive. Second, since the lack of tech removal in this deck, I have been using the discover a spell lackey whenever possible, for the chance of getting a useful tech, to some very moderate, and very surprising success I might add.
Guys, Token Druid is swarming in ranked and we don t have any tech for it . Any ideeas ?
Fan of knives or Mossy
If you are against token druid you can generally just kill it before it does anything
Anyone found a decent replacement for Captain Greenskin?
For now I guess I'll try running a Cutthroat Buccaneer
its not about the attack upgrade it is more about the durability upgrade on waggle pick for an extra 5 dmg. you could put in any tech card or just a southsea deckhand so you don't lose a draw with raiding party
Hench-Clan Burglar is very good in this deck
Just cause I dont usually play much Rouge besides thief decks, what is the use of myras unstable element. It doesnt make sense to me to burn your whole deck just to draw a few cards. Is there something im missing? Just trying to figure out whether its worth crafting or whether I should just sub in a fan instead.
Not OP, but if you’re against a control opponent, you are likely going to lose in the long run and will likely be outvalued from a resource standpoint, so your deck averages out to being worth less than your opponent’s in the long run. On the other hand, a hand full of 10 cards gives you various opportunities to burst your opponent down. It’s not a sure thing, but it provides you the best chance at beating a heavy control deck.
In addition, if you have Chef Nomi, it's a massive swing turn if your opponent has just spent a large removal. If you're opponent just played something like Blizzard, Warpath, Brawl, a stacked Hagatha's Scheme, etc, you can play Myra's and drop Nomi for an immediate board presence, which will win you the game if your opponent doesn't react fast enough. I personally prefer Nomi over a Thug, mainly because I find that I win most games even without the Thug anyways.
Went 0-13 on rank 11. Im getting raced in my face every single game. Really weak against aggro. I got so depressed that i had to stop for today. Im gonna try it again tomorrow hopefully against more non aggro decks :/
I climbed from 20 to 5 dude, I have some difficult on 14 and 7 but a get that! be careful with the mulligan, I think that is the secret for this list you know? view sezoklo playing with it help too =D
