Introduction
This is a tempo rogue list that I've used to climb to legend this season. It's similar to FunkiMonki's Aggro Stealth Rogue list, but this deck includes the secret package that allows for increased value generation and the abusing of Blackjack Stunner and Shadowjeweler Hanar, two cards that are just bonkers.
As of writing this, the final version of my deck has 54 wins to 29 losses (65% winrate). My record against DH is 18-3 (86% winrate) and my record against Priest is 8-2 (80% winrate).
General Gameplan
Keep in mind that this is not a pure aggro deck. Rather, it plays out like a classic Tempo Rogue list. Against aggro, your number one priority is to contest the earlygame and gradually gain board dominance. Once this happens and you're mostly out of immediate danger, you can start hitting your opponent in the face. Keep in mind that most DHs will think you're a normal Gala Rogue at first, and they will face tank a lot. Use this to your advantage and be more aggressive than they expect. Sometimes you might not want to attack with your stealth minions to make it awkward for your opponent to put down their midgame plays, like Satyr Overseer.
Against slower decks like Priest, you need to focus on maintaining pressure while not overextending, gradually building up burst so you can really start going on the attack in the late midgame. Keep in mind that Priests have bad draw, and most of the time they will not have all the answers. Play around and try to bait their clears, and if it looks safe don't be afraid to go all in. Make sure to try and keep one secret and stealth minion in your hand at all times, so if you get a Blackjack Stunner or Greyheart Sage, you are able to activate them.
Mulligan
Always keep: Pharaoh Cat, Spymistress, Skyvateer, Greyheart Sage (this is the best card in the deck)
Sometimes keep:
-
Worgen Infiltrator against aggro, or if you do not have any other 1-drops.
-
Backstab against aggro.
-
Ambush if you are going second and have a 1-drop.
-
Dirty Tricks if you are going first and have a 1-drop.
-
EVIL Miscreant if going second.
Card Subs
There are not a lot of cards that you can substitute effectively in this deck. The two legendaries, Edwin VanCleef and Shadowjeweler Hanar are too good to not use. If you're interested in rogue as a class, these two are a must craft.
If you don't have Skyvateer because you didn't get the adventure, I would recommend substituting it with another Worgen Infiltrator and Cursed Vagrant.
No secret passage?
Really nice. I replaced Skyvateers (cause i dont have them;p) with Akama and Patient Assassin. I'll write how with wins and lose in a moment.
Also, what about Flik Skyshiv, you thought about her in this deck?
Would Bamboozle fit here?
I originally ran two Bamboozles in the deck. They didn't work too well though, since they were too reactive in nature, making them almost dead in some matchups, and I think it's just flat out too weak because of all the evolve lowrolls.
any replace for Skyvateer?
I would recommend a second Worgen Infiltrator and Akama. If you don't have Akama, you can try a second Cursed Vagrant.
Extremely good deck that can be effective at any game phase. Thank you! I am currently going from 5-1 dia with this.
okay so for the wealthy people with a lot of dust: I replaced Worgen Infiltrator with Akama. Tbh, Akama, especially the prime version, feels a bit clunky. But against opponents that don't have many unconventional removals, it is simply amazing. Also the regular 3-drop is a good body for that turn that syngergizes well with the deck. Just try it out, if you have the card already.
