Hello there, long time since my last post here :P how you guys doing? So i was not enjoying the meta pré-nerf at all facing always the same two decks (one insta lose and the mirror was actually so boring and rng fiesta) but after the nerfs i cameback to try again and turns out that Hooktusk tempo rogue is really enjoyable to play, also lots of cool stuff around with the other classes, i'm really liking it right now.
That was a 2 day climb to legend guys from Rank 5 zero star to Legend with 64% winrate (58-33) winning mostly against the both most popular classes which are Hunter and Mage (at least in those ranks) as you will see in the stats below.
Mulligans:
Backstab
Pilfer
Underbelly Fence (Keep it if you already have Blink Fox or Pilfer on hand)
SI:7 Agent (keep it on coin against Aggro)
EVIL Miscreant (Keep it on Coin)
Edwin VanCleef (Keep it on coin)
Blink Fox
Vendetta (Keep it if you already have Blink Fox or Pilfer on hand)
Captain Hooktusk
Proof
Current Overall Winrate:
So yeah i hope you guys enjoy it aswell :) i had a great time with that climb, let me know if you guys are excited for the new changes on June in the comments and feel free to ask any questions. GL HF!
This is what this deck took me. At the start of the season I climbed from 20 to 5 with Token Druid and Tempo Rogue (pre-nerfs), then I struggled to climb 5-1 with any deck I took since the meta was strongly shaping into mage/hunter/shaman (I currently don't enjoy playing any of those) and Reinan's deck work like a charm for me. I'm current at 3/4 stars and I think I'm gonna be able to hit legend for the first time (I'm a veteran at HS but never cared much to pass rank 3 which was my record).
Thanks again, Reinan, for this amazing deck.
So far so good. Just 4 losses in 14 games. Only had problems with Shirvallah Pal, and the other two losses were clearly misplays on my part. Thanks for the great deck! So much fun to play too! Thumbs up from me.
I've played hearthstone a little over 2 years and went from r5- legend for the first time through this deck (over 3 days)
This felt like a midrange tempo deck but has aggro capabilities to go wide vs mages and overtake hunters.
Pirate package helps so much with mech warrior matchup. Rush lackey and ticket scalper combo gives you the much needed refill to sustain pressure against warriors. Vendetta is good removal for all their 4 health mechs.
Against hunters it's all about board control and playing around secrets. Has potential to close out games with hooktusk and enough stats to outvalue t10 zuljin
Vs rogues, value game and board control wins the game.
Vs murloc shaman, fight for the board and trades. Against control, rush them down and close the game out by t7/t8
Sup guys, i went 25-18 score today, 10-14 against warrior tho the matchup is far from unwinnable like most people think. I had some rough games against Zoo and Secret Hunter their highrolls was kinda insane, usually Zoo is very easy mu IMO. Very larger sample size now and still a good winrate.
I'm struggling a lot against warriors. They remove a lot and build armor very quickly and when Dr. Boom comes in your chances of winning just mingle. I'm currently 1-4 against them. I reached rank 3 with your deck. It's kind of clunky to climb the ladder, but this deck is funniest for me atm.
Love rogue and been really pissed after the Preparation nerf, so I've been looking for a viable deck in the new meta. Thought about making a Hooktusk deck and found yours... I just can say it's AMAZING!
I'm currently at Rank 4 and I just logged in to say I won over 3 mech huntards in a row! Couldn't be more glad.
Glad it's working well for you buddy.
Hey Reinan
I like the deck :) I'm a mediocre player at best and have climbed from Rank 5 to Rank 4 5 stars- 11 wins 5 losses so I think it is a winner.
I appreciate the effort you have put in here for this deck and the responses above with the replay's
cheers
Very nice , keep it up! :)
Cheers
Great deck, thank you very much for it!
You're welcome bud, glad you liked!
This deck is fun but more like 50% win rate, at rank 6 at least
Yeap, i think i'm sitting on 58% winrate right now with a much larger sample size. but still it's a pretty good winrate.
What do you think about Myra's Element and Nomi? Is it a good decision to dust them and craft your deck(it is only avalaible way for me)?
No fear that Hooktusk Rogue will play these cards but what do you think about other possible archetypes?
Hey SovietFans, right now i believe Rogue have two strong archetypes that are Shark/Lackeys and Hooktusk Tempo Rogue, one is more about value and other is more focus on Tempo and face damage, both dont play Myra's or Nomi as far as i known so i would say it's a safe disenchant but keep in mind things gonna shake after June 3 with the buffs, that being said i believe not much gonna change about Rogue and those both archetypes will still gonna be the best way to play on ladder.
Well Met! I created a video showcasing this deck. I hope that you will enjoy it and learn something new. Thanks and cheers!
5-9 against Warrior one of the games I DC and didn't count .
I made minor changes to this deck.
2x Mecharoo -> 1x Edwin VanCleef / 1x Shadowstep - your advice
2x EVIL Cable Rat -> 2x Lifedrinker
Current winrate 12-5. In my opinion, the Lifedrinker is very necessary in this deck.
PS. very good job - I thought the rogue was dead. :D
Rogue is never dead :) glad you are doing well with those changes man.
Just hit rank 5 10-3 very nice deck. We have finally a good deck with hoostuk
