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.
As a rogue main, ate the 2x licks and Togwaggle super awesome to craft? I’m so close to doing it but I may wait as I spent 10k of dust already this expansion haha
IMO the picks are required for this deck. Having a 4/2 that you swing with then the next turn you drop Greenskin to make it a 5/2 is absolutely amazing. Also pulling back lackeys or the guy that makes lackies is incredible. I feel like you lose too much not running those weapons (plus it's the weapon you want to get from raiding party). Togwaggle on the other hand, is not at all required. Can be strong when proc'd, but in my time playing this deck (20 games?) I've only played him a few times and sometimes w/o the proc.
licks u mean pickaxes? the pickaxes are rlly good u kinda want them in this list, togwaggle im still having my doubts every now and then soon I will make a guide of the rogue list that imo fits the best in the current meta, stay tuned!
this deck is incredible
I recommend to run one copy of Toggwagle's scheme, good after Lyra's or just to value shuffle in Warrior match ups
also i dont run deadly poison, got Zilliax and Harrison Jones as a replacement for Ooze, Waggle Pick is turn 4 card and Harrison is bigger threat than Ooze
I can't believe how ridiculously strong this deck is! The curve is insane and I can totally see a ton of players climbing to legend with this
I had so much fun that I made a video showcasing the deck in all of its glory, I hope you all enjoy
Nice showcase as always....keep up that great work. ;)
i do not have Myra's, what i put on the deck?
Sprint? maybe, but use it with prep then
its a great tool to find your outs, myras gave me leeroy as my very last card before the deck went poof and together with waggle pick I was able to win a game versus a zoo who got really out of hand.
Its not a card you play when you are ahead unless you try to find that last evis or something.
Im running the version without DP and instead using the neutral 1/1 that adds a lackey to your hand because of the frequency of ooze and harrison but mostly because the lackeys are really fun to use and I find togwaggle really fun to trigger. Might cost me a win% or two but its more fun imo. Lackeys are cool as heck, great addition to the game
SICK deck, I've tried pala, warr and lock deck, but nothing compare to this so far i am 17-1 only lost to mirror and he won the draw battle.
amazing deck... so good, so far !
how do you win with this deck? i am playing rogue at legend rank since season 1 but i cannot figure out how to play with this deck
Is the :chef nomi: variant or the togwaggle variant a better choice?
Lmao... This deck has a 63% winrate... That's it's AVERAGE.. Plus it's one of the the top netdecks... So, it's somehow maintaining a 63% winrate with a mass amount of terrible players navigating it, yet you have a 0% winrate with it? Ouch.
Kiwiinbacon even have it as a featured deck because it's so powerful. (See below)
If you said, "I'm having trouble with this deck" it wouldn't have been so bad, but when you call a 63% winrate netdeck "garbage" that you can't win with... It REALLY makes you look like a douchebag.
This deck is way too dependent on RNG and performs "well" only when facing someone that still has no idea about RoS. Once you face a strong opponent, the deck goes garbage.
I think people in top 100 legend are not strong opponents right? Cause this deck is crushing people in high legend too xD
People are still exploring the new expansion, so yes, even on Top 100 legend you can win with such a deck. As i said, once you face an opponent that knows it, you rely only on RNG. I rarely loose against this with my Control Shaman, Bomb Warrior or Spell Hunter.
Laughing at you right now.
five losses in a row. garbage deck.
