INTRODUCTION
Hey everyone, I'm BMT3601. I played a version of this deck in a Fireside Gathering and quickly put together my own version of the list. Since there was no way to track my deck, I put together the list by memory and inserted some other cards that I felt would work well. This is a theorycraft - I have no idea if this will work once the expansion drops, but it seems pretty fun.
DESCRIPTION AND GOAL
This core part of this deck is made up C'Thun, the Shattered and Ticket Master. Now... what's similar about these two cards? You shuffle all this shit into your deck.
The goal is simple... After your Ticket Masters die, use Stowaway and Grand Empress Shek'zara to quickly fill your board with Plush Bears OR draw out your C'Thun pieces in order to destroy your opponent. And the cool part is, you can do both of those things simultaneously and quite efficiently.
Another note is that Malevolent Strike will also instantly cost 1 because the C'Thun pieces will be shuffled into your deck at the start of the game. Once you shuffle the bears in, this is a 0-cost Assassinate. UPDATE: I cut this card.
OTHER CARDS
Here's a brief section for reasons I added other cards:
Pharaoh Cat - I feel like this deck could be a bit slow at times, so having a card to play on turn 1, plus also being able to get some other decent reborn minions could be nice.
Shadowjeweler Hanar - This is a great turn 2 play, but can also help with tempo and keep damage off your face when you're trying to draw out your deck. Dirty Tricks can help do that and you might be able to get some goodies from Plagiarize. Blackjack Stunner can help us deal with any immediate threats.
EVIL Miscreant - For as long as this is in Standard, it seems like a lock in all Rogue decks.
Jandice Barov - Fantastic tempo play on turn 5.
Wand Thief - Most Mage spells are good... that's why.
I also feel like Vectus could be decent in this deck to combo with both Ticket Masters, but may be a bit too much and pieces could get lost.
THANKS!
Alright guys, let me know in the comments what you think. I'd like to try this deck on Day 1 of expansion.
Stoaway, Empress and the Passage are all useless in this deck. You' face too many aggresive decks and you cannot afford to play a 5 mana card when opponent has 5 buffed totems or you are already mid health because of DH. The passage is useless because most of the time you will replace your hand with tickets from Ticket Master and they do not trigger from the passage effect. Replace passage with Preparation, much better Combo trigger. Also Hanar, Empress and 2x Stowaway needs to be replaced if you don't want to insta-concede against a DH or Shaman.
What would you recommend to replace C'thun? :P
this deck is basically built around c'thun
I'd probably just cut the entire shuffle mechanic at that point and just make a Miracle Rogue. Cut C'Thun, the Shattered, Grand Empress Shek'zara, 2x Ticket Master and 2x Stowaway for 2x Preparation, 2x Eviscerate, and 2x Questing Adventurer.
Really like this deck, I added 2 Preparation in order to do prep+ Secret Passage for a shot of drawing and playing C'thun on the same turn
Cool. I like that idea for sure. Just out of curiosity, what do you cut to do that? I also feel like adding those cards make Questing Adventurer a bit more appealing in this deck as well. Thanks for the comment :)
Is the new Rogue legendary mandatory, or has a replacement?
I'm not sure... I haven't actually had a chance to play my own deck yet. So maybe someone else can chime in here.
Grand Empress Shek'zara is just an extra way to draw out your C'Thun pieces or your Plushies. If you don't own it, I definitely wouldn't run to craft it. To be honest, Dirty Tricks, Swindle, and Stowaway might be enough card draw.
My only suggestion at the moment would be to try running a Questing Adventurer in it's place or if you really find yourself running through this deck quickly, maybe...just maybe... Zephrys the Great could work.
Enjoyable last game with this deck at D5. Got to play C'Thun three times before finally sinking a res Priest. Happy days!
Haha that's awesome. Glad you're enjoying. :D
Made an update this morning:
Added 2x Foxy Fraud, 2x Swindle, 1x Ambush. Dropped 2x Plagiarize, 2x Malevolent Strike, and 1x Sap.
Good look to everyone on Day 1 :)
Sounds fun hope I pull C'thun
Hi! I'm also working on a C'thun Rogue deck and definitely agree with Pizza that Foxy Fraud + Swindle would be a great inclusion, bonkers Edwin potential there. Instead of secrets, I thought a Galakrond package would work, especially since you can draw your C'thun spells or even C'thun for cheap off of gala. What do you think?
After watching some theorycrafted streamer play, I think tempo package will be much better than secret package. What i mean by that is 2 Foxy Frauds, 2 swindles. another sap, and 2 other tempo/combo cards, depending on what is needed, like eviscerates, the new 2/1 pirate, etc. It is not unreasonable to get a 12/12 edwin on turn 2, as Regis already did it. Foxy Fraud, any 1-2 cost combo card, shadowstep, foxy, coin edwin. Even just with foxy fraud, coin and edwin it's a 6/6 on turn 2. I think basically every rogue will want include that package until it rotates out, because of just how many games it will steal.
Yes, that's interesting too. I'll likely try both versions. Thanks for the feedback. :D
Even if this ends up not working, I'm going to have a hell of a good time trying to make it work!
I was also thinking in Vectus, but ya, don´t think is worth it if you´re running just the bear guy
Really good work dude. I will give it a try for sure :) Keep on building decks like this.
