Ok guys, LF7D here.
After playtesting a big amount of decks i finally found piece inside my soul. So i bring you a secret stealth rogue.
This deck is so great that you can easily win any match-up. The tempo swings here are so strong that even "pain in the ass ressurect priest" looses to this list.
As usual, as we get 20 upvotes here, i will write a deep guide and bring WR statistics against all classes.
P.S.: a maiev hero portrait coming from the shadows is strongly recommended to apply for this list.
Update 15.04. Thanks to GamerPanda who was first to propose adding 1x Shadowstep. Dropped 1x Secretkeeper. Second girl is on the watch, thinking what to tech in instead. WR is raising, thanks to shadowstep, now even more competitive against ressurect priest and highlander hunter. Stay tuned.
Update 13.04. Thanks to jtikey who was first to propose this change: switched 2x Worgen Infiltrator for 2x Burrowing Scorpid. Works great as it can easily get Stealth (mind using Backstab to deal with 4 hp minions) for the following value and additionaly it also able to do face damage, which is sometimes so needed to finish the game. Thought about throwing off 2x Secretkeeper but persanally for me it is still a powerful card to initiate those secret shenanigans. And being active on late turns followed by hanar it won me number of games. Still working on the deck improvement. Also added my current WR screenshot after 40+ games (priest and DH are in the bad spot against it right now).
Also i want to ask you guys to share your WR (if played at least 30 games), especially playing on different rank floors besides legend with this deck. Big Up!
Update 10.04. Thank you guys for the interest and your feedback. Let's jump to the guide, shall we?
Desciption
This is basically a tempo deck which contains two different archetypes:
1. Stealth.
This package provides you board pressence, card draw and face damage.
Minions like Spymistress, Skyvateer, Worgen Infiltrator and ofcourse Akama itself are your early game options and combo activators for next turns involving Ashtongue Slayer and Greyheart Sage.
2. Secrets.
This is an interesting part. It also have a card draw aspect with Dirty Tricks, board presence with Ambush and the most fun secret ever made Bamboozle which works great when DH tries to kill your 1 health minion. For the early game you have Secretkeeper, secrets (whole new package which gives you versatility to choose from depending on the match up) paired with a very strong control tool such as Blackjack Stunner and the mvp of this deck Shadowjeweler Hanar. Now this guy can definetely change the game. You can play him early on with coin on turn 1 and follow up with secrets every turn so it will be hard to remove or you can sqeeze all value out of him on turn 7 (it will guarantee you 4 secrets, 3 on top of a tree and 1 being in hand). Imagine doing this turn 7 tricks while your secretkeeper on board :-)
And on top of those cards you have an additional tempo support with EVIL Miscreant and a game finisher Eviscerate and a strong control set containing Flik Skyshiv, Maiev Shadowsong and Backstab (which is also activate your Miscreants).
All in all seems balanced, right?
Mulligan
This is the moment where mixed archetype shines bright.
You can go for stealthed package or secret one, depends on what you like.
Essentially you are aiming for early 1 mana drops.
Going first without coin you want Spymistress, Secretkeeper or Worgen Infiltrator.
Going second with coin you are looking for Shadowjeweler Hanar, Skyvateer and any of your 1 drops mentioned above.
Your aim is to establish your board and support it following turns with secrets or stealth combo cards.
Against combo decks, such as Spell Druid, OTK DH, Spell Mage etc. focus on secret package from the very start of the game.
Against aggro decks go for stealth package, you will outpace them, no problem.
Against control, such as Res priest focus on stealth and try to have at least one secret in hand to be able to Blackjack Stunner his taunts and heals. Maiev Shadowsong will win you games here.

Yo Kiwii, glad to see you here. thanks for your work!
great work as always, my friend.
It's fun to get back in the game with a sick expansion like this.
Hey everyone!
I played few secret/stealth rogues and this one feels the smoothest to me so far. If you are interested in a gameplay video you can check this one bellow :)
Thanks mate!
I loathe how Blizz has locked cards behind a paywall, I could easily just craft what I need but these solo adventures ruin everything, either you have to have hoarded gold or spend money, meanwhile I'm sitting over here with my massive pile of dust with nothing to do cause I need fucking skyvateer of all things.
on one side i understand your frustration, but if you lack gold, you most definitely need to start doing arena runs. if you can average 7 wins on your runs you can make your gold back and then some plus packs. it's not too difficult to make gold in this game or catchup even if you are a f2p
is it only that one card from an adventure in the deck, is it key or can it be replaced? I was thinking about playing this as I have the dust to finish it, but I don't want to buy an adventure as I don't play HS that much to be spending any money on it right now (I'm not F2P though, I have spent loads in the past)
I'm trash at arena, no way I could go positive on money. Don't know the meta either, I'll pass on that. Rather just work for a couple hours and buy the stuff over sufffer through tens of hours of Arena runs.
You can replace this card. Try 1xShadowstep And 1xSI:7 Agent
Nice, looking good, might have to build this. Just coming back to the game after a while away from it. Maive is in other decks I want to try too, so it's nice to see some multiple use legendaries.
already got my hands on the highlander cards from the free mage deck too, so gonna mess with that style of deck too.
Hey there. I recently posted a very similar list, except I'm using SI:7 Agent instead of Miscreant, Burrowing Scorpid over Secretkeeper, and 1 Shadowstep and 1 Kobold Stickyfinger instead of the Worgen. I've been toying with this deck since Tues and the biggest difference is the 2 more 1-drops in yours. How important is Secretkeeper and Worgen? I don't find that I need more stealth most of the time, and I'd be afraid Secretkeeper would be a drain when you might want secrets for Hanar. I get the appeal of hanar-secretkeeper-make a big girl but not sure how practical it is?
I really think Shadowstep belongs in this type of deck with strong battlecrys, but I also think I should adopt some of the above that I don't have. Which do you think has the biggest impact between Miscreant, Worgen, and Keeper?
Edit: I decided to remove the stickyfinger in place of a miscreant, working pretty well. Still unsure about worgen and sercret over SI and burrowing
This deck has been fun so far, but haven’t been able to pop off a win. But it has been very very close every time. This is my first rogue deck so that probably explains why. I’m certain with more practice this deck can win a lot!
The card draws are a necessity, you have to balance your secret usage carefully. And use your stealth minions wisely. The synergy’s are so important. This deck is an eye opener for me and I think you need quite a bit of skill to play it!
The only card I question is the EVIL Miscreant, i have found it sitting in my hand a fair bit. It may have to do with my inexperience with rogue. Am looking forward to your update!
Thank you for your feedback mate. You need to get used to the list and learn how to pilot it. Rogue is not the easiest class to play, so decision making process is a bit complicated here. Sometimes you need to look over 1-2 turns ahead, knowing your enemy and his deck. For example on turn 2 against druid i will definetely play Dirty Tricks. But in the same situation against DH i'll play Bamboozle because he will try to kill my 1 health minions with his face. You know what i am saying.
As for EVIL Miscreant, this can win you games. Found Sinister Strike and Eviscerate from lackey tons of times. And this is only 1 scenario to use Miscreant. Should i mention Kobold lackey as a finisher?
I need a Guide I dont know what to do :D :D , Thanks for sharing
Replacement for skyvateer?
there was an approximate answer for this, please look below. But very tough to replace to be honest.
I play a similar deck, for those looking for replacements - Burrowing Scorpid might be a nice inclusion.
Any options for replacing Flik/Bamboozle ?
Are you missing both cards?
