Hearthpwn

Hi everyone!

Just here to bring you my variant of the tempo/sprint rogues that have been floating around recently.

I used to be a miracle rogue player, but with the nerf on auctioneer I've been playing other decks, namely Chaoss' Tempo Shaman and Freeze mage, but man have I been missing Rogue, so once I saw these new "miracle rogues" with Sprint popping up on Hearthpwn, I was super excited to play one. 

The major difference in this deck from the others is that this deck runs Alexstrasza. While I might be biased (I love me some mommy Alex), Alexstrasza has won me countless games against many types of decks. Manage to get a minion or two to stick? Alex their face for instant lethal (hopefully). Manage to stabilize against a hunter but he keeps poking your face? Alex defensively to stay alive and drop a huge body.  

The playstyle of the deck is similar to many other tempo decks: use spells, SI:7 Agent, and weapons to repeatedly remove your opponents threats until you get something to stick, then use that card to press the advantage and slam Alexstrasza and Dr. Boom to finish off your opponent. Use Sprint (combo'd with Preparation if possible) when you run out of cards in hand or when you have some extra mana. Try to make as many tokens with Violet Teacher as possible as well, but don't waste the cards (i.e. don't Eviscerate face) just to make an extra token. 

I'll add more specific mulligan guides if this page gets some views, but for now, here are the basic ones:

Aggro:

Mulligan for cheap, early removal. You  want Backstab, Eviscerate, Deadly Poison, Fan of Knives, Blade Flurry, SI:7 Agent. Shiv is less good, because it only does one damage, but can be kept if you have an otherwise awful hand. If you have an Eviscerate and are going first you can keep Preparation. If you're going second and you already have 2-3 of the aforementioned cards, you can keep a Sludge Belcher. 

Paladin:

Mulligan for either Fan of Knives or Blade Flurry to clear a Muster For Battle. Many Paladins these days are fairly fast, so keeping early removal is not a bad plan (then again it isn't usually). Ideally there's an SI:7 Agent or Earthen Ring Farseer in your hand to heal you after you smack dudes with your hero power or help hill the Shielded Minibot. 

 Druid:

 Eviscerate and Sap are good to get rid of something that gets ramped out early.
