The deck list here is built accordingly to my style, but I am here to teach you how to tweak the oil rogue to your style so that you can comfortably climb the ladder, in the current meta.
The reason why I say that is because the meta is always changing and the oil rogue is a control combo deck where you rely on the Tinker’s sharpsword oil to finish our opponent and we usually combo this with the minions on the board and Blade Flurryto deal over 20 points of damage.
But if we were to waste our win conditions, then we need to know our deck inside out and know just how much damage is left in our deck to finish off our opponent. At the very least, if you know you don’t have enough damage, you can at least concede early and move on to the next game rather than playing it out.
GAMEPLAY VIDEO - IT HAS BUTTONS TO SKIP BETWEEN MATCH-UPS AND DECK TECH :)
SUBSTITUTIONS – I will use my decklist as the standard
Southsea Deckhand for Shade of Naxxramas, Edwin VanCleef Piloted Shredder or Big Game Hunter
-
- Some players feel that Southsea Deckhand is fairly easy to remove, but I love the card since you can easily combo it with tinker’s sharpsword oil to deal instant damage for lethal.
- In some circumstances, you will need to play Southsea deckhand as a body to gain board control, which is quite ineffective
- If you value the board control over the instant damage, you can choose any of the substitutions since they are stickier creatures that are solid against either match-ups and stay long enough on the board to be comboed with Tinker Sharpsword Oil
Bloodmage Thalnos for Kobold Geomancer or Loot Hoarder
-
- These are just cheaper substitutions for Bloodmage Thalnos and it all depends if you value card draw or spell damage more
- I recommend the spell damage!
Earthen Ring Farseer for Edwin VanCleef, Shade of Naxxramas, Piloted Shredder, Goblin Auto-Barber or Kobold Geomancer
-
- Earthen Ring Farseer is excellent against the aggro match-up, however some would rather run a stickier creature in this slot to fair better against the control match-ups as well
- You can replace one Earthen Ring Farseer with any of the subs, but I recommend another 3 drop to maintain the curve
Tinker’s sharpsword oil for Dr. Boom
-
- 2 Tinker’s sharpsword oil is sometimes clunky, so some prefer to replace one copy with Dr. Boom
- Dr. Boom is excellent for immediate board pressure
Violet Teacher for Piloted Shredder
-
- Violet teacher is a complete menace against the aggro match-ups, but can easily be removed from the control match-ups
- To fair better against control match-ups, some players substitutes one copy for a piloted shredder
Loatheb for Sludge Belcher, Ogre Ninja, Piloted Shredder, Dark Iron Skulker or Assassin's Blade.
-
- Loatheb guarentees board control so that you would have at least one creature on the board to combo it with tinker’s sharpsword oil to potentially push for lethal
- The other substitutes are quite adequate as well if you do not have loatheb since they are very sticky and can last longer than one turn to be comboed with tinker’s sharpsword oil
Harrison Jones for Emperor Thaurissan, Sludge Belcher, or Kezan Mystic (tech slot)
-
- Emperor Thaurissan is the new addition to this deck, however as power as he can be, he is not required to be in this deck because the deck is already solid without it. At times, since there are a lot of Grim Patron Warriors, I tend to use Harrison Jones.
Antique Healbot for Sludge Belcher or Piloted Shredder
- A lot of people preferred antique healbot in order to have a higher success rate against hunters, however people like Hyped believes that heal is not necessarily that good against aggressive match-ups, but card like sludge belcher and piloted shredder that have a higher board pressure does.

The Combos are written by RyzenTV, and although there are A LOT more combos, these are the most commonly used! I suggest learning the combo yourselves, since it allows you to adapt to various of situations and not attached to just these combos.
TURN 10: Deadly Poison + Deadly Poison + Southsea Deckhand + Preparation + Tinker's Sharpsword Oil x2 + Blade Flurry = 30 Damage
TURN 7: Deadly Poison + Tinker's Sharpsword Oil + Blade Flurry = 6 Damage AoE Clear
TURN 9: Farseer/SI:7 Agent + Tinker's Sharpsword Oil + Blade Flurry = 6/3 Minion + 4 Damage AoE Clear
TURN 4: Preparation + Si:7 Agent + Tinker's Sharpsword Oil = 6/3 Minion + 4/2 Weapon
TURN 4: Violet Teacher + Preparation + Sap/Eviscerate = 3/5 + 1/1 + 1/1 + Board Clear
TURN 5: Azure Drake + Preparation + Fan of Knives = Draw 2 Cards + 2 Damage AoE Clear
TURN 9: Southsea Deckhand + Tinker's Sharpsword Oil x2 = 15 Damage + 8/1 Minion + 7/1 Weapon

I would put in a gnomish inventor and it might seem weird, but I saw reynad made that as a sub. If you are going to replace preparation with two gnomish inventors, I would sub out one tinker's sharpsword oil and one violet teacher for 2x piloted shredder just because it might seem mana heavy and less spells to use w/o preparation.
Tell me how it goes because I haven't tested it, but its looking like the tempo deck I played awhile ago.
A most honest and sincere thank you for the effort you put in this, even though I consider some substitutes a bit odd I gained more insight into the deck through it. Exemplary executioned!
I have only one question, do you have some sort of numbers for the matchup rate? I think it might help in deciding against which decks one should tech more.
This varies quite a bit, but from experience around rank 5 and above, a lot more control decks are being used. Even now, hunters are a a bit slower since they are running the sen-x deck variant. The only aggro deck to watch out for is the mech mage, but other than that, I would consider all of them to be control in the current meta right now. I will definitely do a match-up percentage when I get back on ladder if you guys find it useful!
