The Nutjuice
Hallo my name is Rens better known as Sezoklo, I'm a pretty dedicated rogue player and for the past 2 weeks since the new expansion I've been trying out different lists including Togwaggle Heistbaron, Nomi, the vendetta stuff, hench clan, everything people are having questions about whether it's not correct or correct to run it. Yesterday I played a list that looks a lot like most of the tempo rogue lists but I think this list might be the hardcore juicenuts. This guide I am just gonna explain the power of the deck and not really go in to detail to much like I did last time because I want to keep it short but good. In case you have suggestions, questions, anything I would be more then happy to answer them, also I stream every day for about 7-8 hours @ www.twitch.tv/sezoklo where u can ask me questions as well.
Right now I am #5 legend in America and #50 in europe(In europe I've been experimenting a lot with the rogue cards) and I try to climb to #1 every day(I got #1 on both servers since the rise of shadows came out playing rogue) and what else can I say, rogue is the nuts.
Can I play this deck without leeroy/myra's/greenskin? I'm just gonna be honest and say no, these are the 3 highest cost and only 5 mana cost cards in this deck and you need them.
Cards you keep always: Raiding party and prep, you never keep a second one of these cards. Versus control you always keep Myra's, versus anything else, so the mirror for example you never keep myra's. Also vs control match ups or when you go first I like to keep the deckhand, just to have something to play on turn 1, if ur lucky it gets to push some damage right a away. Playing deckhand while having coin on turn 1 doesn't make sense because it gets pinged, so don't do that.
Cards you always keep on coin: Edwin, EVIL miscreant, I would even keep prep here and try to highroll and find raiding party + edwin to make a nice balanced 3 mana 8-8 on turn 2.
To keep or not to keep: I am not a huge fan of keeping backstab, especially not on coin, unless your hand is backstab, prep, raiding party, edwin, that's pretty good. Also if you are not on coin and you have a combo card like raiding party or EVIL miscreant you can keep backstab vs aggro, you NEVER keep backstab versus control. Also I keep sap in the mirror versus rogues sometimes(when they are on coin), in case they manage to get a big ass edwin down and you don't have sap you're gonna be sad. Them using all the resources to get Edwin down to get sapped can be game changing. All the cards I didn't mention in the guide are never ever keeps imo.
About evil miscreant: Evil miscreant is super strong, the lackeys are so good you might wanna consider in certain match ups when you are looking for cards or feel like you are missing tempo to shadowstep the EVIL miscreant to get more lackeys. Imagine searching for myra's or raiding party, the 1 drop discover a spell Lackey can help you out with that. The Lackeys aren't super easy to play with, be careful that the random 2 drops can also be a dire wolf or a doomsayer, so take a second before playing lackeys and put them on the left side or left from a minion that's already on the board and ready to attack. Especially in the mirror, coining out the EVIL miscreant and shadowstepping it to have a super powerful turn with lackeys the turn after can be crucial for your opponent since rogues have hard times dealing with wide boards most of the time.
Myra's unstable element: A lot of people ask me how to use myra's, the only straight forward advise I can give is that as soon as you have myra's in hand you start emptying your hand, which means eviscerating face is a thing, or a minion, you just want to empty your hand ASAP and play myra's to find the rest of your burst and deal with your opponent. Also if there's a chance of finding lethal while playing myra's and the odds are good or you're in a hurry you can always go for it as well.
Lifedrinkers?? Yes, Lifedrinkers feel much better compared to for example hench clan thug, the main reason is the weapon, the waggle pick, which is a really interesting and powerful weapon in this deck as well. Basically all the minions in the deck are "ok" or even good to bounce that's why I think lifedrinkers are good, also sometimes you need a heal or 3 dmg burst(maybe even 6 or 9, shadowstepping lifedrinker is a thing as well).
Tonight I will continue playing this deck and try to get rank #1 legend with it, I believe in this list and I would highly recommend this list by far, it's much better than all the weird vendetta lists you've been seeing played on ladder, 1 of the reasons why is because this deck destroys vendetta rogues. Hopefully this information made a bit of sense to you guys, let me know if you have any suggestions or questions and I will try to answer them ASAP. Thanks for taking the time to read my guide and let me know what you think.

This is an amazing deck. Took me to legend from rank 2 with a winrate of 20-4. All games feel winable. The games I lost were extremely close. Even went 2-1 against control warrior.
From my impression, this deck requires a very aggressive playstyle, and when played with way can burn almost anything out. Often developments on board don't really matter as damage has been done already with battlecries and charge, meaning there is very little counterplay the opponent can do. I loved the double shadowstep as they are so versatile, can equate to a lot of value with lackies or damage/healing with your other minions.
All in all hats off to the creator, amazing spin on a recognised archetype, amazing guide, best of luck for future creations!
Finally broke down and crafted greenskin after debating for a while. Figured its time to play rogue and learn the class better (had 12 total wins with rogue before this expansion). Greenskin certainly made an immediate impact and is much more valuable than the golden commander rhyssa. Thanks for the write up. I had been using some more aggro cards to try to win faster to make up for the lack of greenskin and i could go on good runs but it wasn't as consistent as I was looking for. This decklist with the lifedrinkers seems to be closing out games better against the more control decks everywhere trying to counter rogue. Thanks!
U dont need ooze, ooze is slow most of the time and vs warriors it doesnt do anything, its only kinda ok in the mirror and then ooze gets backstabbrd or lackey'd down.
wrong
What is your thought about ooze
I love Lifedrinker version, but still feel a little bit lack when play against weapon class
......
spawed one Sap to Fan of Knifes
Got my first legend today with this list. I loved it, it's very aggressive. I'm running Sprint over Myra's Unstable Element because i don't have it, but i only needed twice and sprint did the job anyway
U will get rank 1 legend as soon as u own myra's PogChamp
Good guide, thanks.
Your deck is pretty fine
gotta climb inkeeper today (from rank 4)
ty for that deck
What about -1 Lifedrinker and +1 Zilliax
Thank you for the guide!:)
Im not a fan of zilliax in this aggro list
Thanks for the answer. :)
Was watching yesterday, you played Hunter.
BTW... sub... xD
This deck is insane in terms of win ratios. It pretty much beats basically anything that isn't a control warrior which is a bit ridiculous but if you are looking for something to climb with, this will definitely be a great option!
I had a lot of fun so I made a video showcasing the deck in action. I hope you all enjoy!
Hey nice video thanks for the shout outs and mentioning me. In the video u say that i wrote that on coin u never keep prep but thats not true u always keep prep i think even on coin. :)
This deck is awesome, took me from 10 to 5. Did -1 Shadowstep, -1 Deadly Posion and added +1 Fan of Knives (Against token druid/warlock), +1 Heistbaron (won me the game a few times).
One Question Sezoklo :)
-1 Sap +Nomi?
What do you Guys think about it?
Thx 4 the answers. ;)
Update again, went 7-9 with the Deck at Rank 15. :(
In the meantime 9-13 doing the Mulligan like in your Guide... No chance... :(
Mmm FeelsBadMan tune in to my streams sometimes I play rogue a lot and I stream every day, the deck works for me and it worked for a lot of people.
isn´t this the exact same of a normal tempo rogue just with 2x Lifedrinker?
