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.

coming soon...
it is up to you my friend. Make this decision on your own risk.
Replacement for Skyveteer?
Very powerful deck! but draw is very synergy dependent and Dirty Tricks quite unreliable sometimes if the opponent knows, unless they don't have a choice but to cast a spell.
Replaced the Secretkeeperx2 with Fan of Knives and Bloodmage Thalnos for more reliable draw and damage.
Replaced Worgen Infiltratorx2 with Burrowing Scorpidx2 for more damage while still having stealth synergy.
Works better with me now.
Good job mate, Nice adjusting. Glad you liked the deck though
Dude craft Skyvateer it's 80 dust.
its from adventure actually
Rode this deck from bottom bronze to plat 4 but thats about it. Not really seeing any Demon Hunters anymore and its all spell mage / hand locks / ress priests / paladins, they all have either heal or aoe or both. I'm wondering how exactly does this deck beat opponents like those up in diamond or legend. The deck barely has enough damage to lethal as it is and pretty much any aoe card in the game can wipe your board right now. A couple of small aoe and a heal from the opponent and you might as well just concede.
It depends, as always in HS. If you are lucky enough to draw your finishers or control tools to pass taunts than you win. If not, you are probably gonna loose. It is a problem of all tempo decks. Strictly draw dependent. But you have hanar here, who can easily change the game and force your opponent to do mistakes , he won me lots of games. That’s why this deck is interesting and fun to play.
and please don’t blame the deck in loosing games, most of the times (especially playing rogue) it is bad decision making, not bad deck building.
This deck just doesn't work.
First of all you need to have lucky synergy draws-either stealth or secrets. That happens very rarely because most of the time you draw mixed cards which don't go together.
Sceondly, Ladder is filled with spell mages who just laugh at you while spamming novas and blizzards for reduced mana cost. Warlocks who have 4 aoe spells for board wipe. And demon hunters who can easilly deal 2-3 dmg as early as turn 0,so say goodbye to your one drops.
Finally,If you don't have an established board or a christmas tree with secrets at around turn 5-6. you can just concede since this deck has no strong cards on their own. But rather cards that rely heavily on each other.
I'm currently 41-26 with this deck :) learn to play my guy.
I can’t tell what is happening on platinum or any other floor. I guess people are tryharding as hell. But I play it in legend rank and maybe people there may take more time on having fun, not just learning hsreplay and picking those higher wr decks. So It is 56% winrate for me right now With this list. But thank you for your feedback, this is your own experience, and it would have been better to say that this deck doesn’t work for YOU, not in general. And as you can see in the description, there is no phrase like “with this deck you are gonna hit legend in blink of an eye!” Or “this deck is a crazy meta crusher!!!!&&!!”. But I guess I should add a disclaimer “play it on your own risk” :D
Without Galakrond it’s a roughly 48% win rate across the ranks, by no means incredible.
Been playing this deck a lot since my last post, definitely starting to get a grip on it! Super fun deck and pulling of a lot of wins now.
Currently 16-7 with this deck so far. I didn't have Skyvateer so i replaced it with Loot Hoarder.
Very fun deck
this shit doesn't work for me... :/
i'm running a similar deck with 2x shadowstep. shadowstepping hanar after spamming secrets feels amazing XD
I know I said this before but Shadowstep is so good in this deck, worth it to have 1 at least.
if I am fairly familiar with rogue, will this deck be OK to pilot, considering I've been away from the game for a few expacs?
I know there are so many mechanics I need to learn, but I need to find a deck to play, as I don't have any new cards yet, so I literally can't put a deck together until I either buy cards or spend dust.
EDIT: watching kiwi play it, and it looks like something I will enjoy a lot. secret rogue hasn't been viable for a long time neither, so nice to be able to play it again. (maybe it has in the previous 2 expac, I did not play them, so no idea)
Add me in the game, I can share a deck in a duel and you can try by yourself before making it. My battletag is in the account bio.
