I went on a Incredible Winstreak from Rank 5 to Rank 2 within 13 Games. I only lost to a Hunter who topdecked Freezing Trap the Turn where i had Leeroy Lethal...
Its a pretty fun Deck to play and actually pretty strong in this Meta....
I kinda got lucky that i dodged the Warriors on my Run. Control Warrior is supposed to be the worst Match Up for Tempo Rogue in General.
Playstyle:
Pretty easy - similar as with any aggressive Deck: Fight for Board Control in the early Game, develope a Board --> get some Face Damage in and finish off your Opponent in the Mid Game with your Weapons + Deadly Poison or Leeroy + Shadowstep Combos.
Card Explanations:
Shadowstep: Extremely useful tool in this Deck... Not only allows you to replay any minion for free (basically) - it also supports the massive amount of Combo Cards we run in this Deck. Getting to play EVIL Miscreant twice for 4 Mana and generate a bunch of Cheap Lackeys in the Mid-Game or looking for 12 Damage Burst with Leeroy Jenkins
Questing Adventurer: The most interessting and probably unique Card in the Deck. Normal Tempo Builds dont run that Card, but i fell in love with that Card. Most of the Time you play it as a 4/4 or 5/5 and your Opponent has to set priorities to kill that Card asap... If he cant kill it, then it can quickly grow to a Giant with the help of Cheap Minions (lackeys) or Cheap Spells in our Deck. As a side effect: this card also protects our Board - as Opponent is spending most likely his whole turn to kill it, we get to develope an even stronger Board on the next Turn.
Bloodmage Thalnos: A auto-include in any Rogue Type except the Tempo Rogue. Mainly playing it as a card draw Mechanism... Even though the Spell Damage is not that important for that Deck, it still comes in handy in some Situations. Backstab for 3 Damage or activate the Eviscerate for 5 Damage, usually secures pretty huge Tempo Swings.
Why no Edwin van Cleef:
The Questing Adventurers taking Edwins Space in the Deck. Id rather have a threat which can become a even bigger threat in future, than a Minion which requires me to play a lot of Cards before Hand to make it big.
To make Edwin viable, we'd have to run a lot of Spells and Preparation... But this Deck is tempo oriented with a lot of Minions... So Edwin is just not fitting in there.
Edits:
When i build this Deck i used to run Chef Nomi along with Zephrys the Great. After 3 Games i decided to cut Zephrys the Great for a Bloodmage Thalnos. I wanted to have a Minion which i can just play whenever drawn... Zephrys felt awkward as he was just sitting useless in my Hands in those 3 Games.
After around 7 Games i also decided to cut Chef Nomi for a 2nd Dread Corsair. Reason: The Shadowstep Nomi after Myras "Dream" is just not working out in this Meta... Most of the time, your Opponents are already dead (or close to dead) once you play Myras... So Nomi was just useless.. Dread Corsair makes a lot of Sence as im running 4 Weapons + 2 Deadly Poisons to reduce the Cost of the Corsair. Its a great Tempo Card!
Gameplay:
As requested, heres a Video of me playing this Deck:
(Im sorry for the bad Audio/Sound Quality... Im not used to record Videos and the request came really unexpected... I hope you can still hear me talking through my Thought Process... And i hope i could help you guys playing this Deck better :) )
My Results:
can we do a more budget version of this deck?
Hey boranoia,
Sorry for the late Reply!
If you ask about Budget Version, i assume you dont have any of the legendaries?
My Replacements would be:
Thalnos out for a Fan of Knives: Its pretty good in this Meta, allows you to kill a few shaman tokens, draw a card or in generall have a easier time dealing with those silly Snip Snap Deathrattles...
Captain Greenskin out for a Hench-Clan Burglar or Blink Fox: Havent tested any of both in this building... But im sure they could fit in very well. You have to test out what fits you best...
As for Leeroy or Myras Unstable: Im sorry but i think both of those Cards are core Cards in this Deck. I dont think you can replace any of both with similar strength... You would weaken the Deck a lot if you dont run them... (Maybe you could try reckless rocketeer instead of Leeroy,,,, But its way worse than having leeroy!)
Hope i could help you!
thank you so much! i did replace all the cards that you’ve said, i have leeroy by the way. the cards that i dont own are 2x waggle pick and myra’s unstable elements. i dont have any dust too so i replaced them with 1x sprint and 2x assasins blades. hope they will work too. thank you again :)
and by the way, what should we aim for mulligan? if i have the coin, i always try to look for evil miscreant, and pharaoh cat for all the time. thanks!
Can you give an video guide ? Im interested in how you play this deck :)
Hey,
I just made a Gameplay Video... Currently uploading to Youtube! Will post it on here once its done uploading!
The Sound is horrible on the video, as i was not having access to my Microphone. But i hope you will still hear enough of what im saying.
Most important thing is to plan ahead... You get used to it, once you have done it enough!
Hope i could helped you with the Video!
Wow! Tnx allot for your effort. This has given an impression and yes i did a lot of this wrong. I see what you mean now with planning a head. Tnx again :)
Will give it a try and come bacl later! :D
Not bad! 7-2 atm at rank 5/4. And I really like Questing Adventurer
I can’t win a single game with this deck. I went from 7 all the way back down to 10.
damn you bad
