Here is the deck, i used to reach rank 1 legend this season.
If this gets +50, i'll post matchup details and a guide.
I'll post matchup details and guide in couple hours.
It was designed to be a midrange combo deck, that can race against aggro decks and outfast control ones. It's good against other combo decks, since you get your combos faster, that your opponents. Try to remember that, while playing and always ask yourself, how can you lose the match and how can you win the match.
Cards, that i feel to explaine:
Emperor - DON'T, just don't play this card in rogue, if you are not stupid.
Sabotage
A cheap combination of assasinate and ooze, that requires combo activation.
Q: What match-ups does it improve?
A: It's great vs Patron (on the second Death Bite). It's awesone against Handlock, if you sabotage their's first drage or giant - you are 90% likely to win. I have never lost to handlock after sabotaging first giant. It's also ok vs hunter, shamans and paladins. It's also good against druids after you get tempo advantage. Sometimes it can be used against stealthed minion (shade, Antonidas, etc.).
You have to understand, that this card CAN be match-deciding, and that's why i put it in.
Dr.Boom
There are to reasons, i don't play it:
1. I don't want to give opponent bgh value.
2. This card cad win you a match if ONLY you are in a SMALL disadvantage. If you are in lead, you can win without it, if you are behind on the board against face hunter, dr.boom won't help you.
You can play it, if you face a lot of control warriors or if you feel a need of another turn before you get your sprint.
Edwin:
A typical winmore card. Edwin will never win you a match, except of freezemage or a mirror. It will catch opponent's owls, bghs, executes etc. Piloted Shredder is much better for me.
Shredder:
Your bred and butter against pretty much all the classes. Deals ton of damage, not easy to remove.
If you play Coin - Shredder into second one, you are a favourite against a freeze mage.
Violet Teacher
A great card, but weak against patrons. Nothing new to be said.
Mathch-ups / mulligans:
Mage, Warlock, Shaman: BACKSTAB, SI:7. Do NOT keep any other card unless you have backstab and SI:7. One can try keeping deadly poinson and flurry, but it's too risky for me.
Paladin, Hunter: Fan, Backstap, SI:7. If you are sure, it's not a face hunter, you can mulligan Fan.
Warrior: Shredder. If you have one and a coin, get second.
Druid: Shredder, Teacher, Prep, Sap.
Play this as fast, as you can! Oil turn 5 MIGHT be great. Prep Sap is your midgame winning combo.
Priest: You can't lose, but try to get your shredders before turn 8.
Handlock: If you are sure, you are playing against a handlock, get your shredders, sabotage. Keep backstab-eviscerate combo. THE MAIN RULE HERE is: NEVER SAP FIRST GIANT OR DRAKE. Never do that, it's an insta loss.
If i forgot something, ask me in the comment section. And please forgive my rusty english.
Memories :'( I loved this deck
is this deck still viable?
Tournaments - yes, ladder - no
sabotage isn't good nowadays: not a lot of patrons and handlocks. It might be usefull against secretpaladin to kill challenger, but other than that, it's mediocre.
yes you can, you can run any card in any deck but does it fit in the deck?
Is bloodmage thalnos really important in this deck?
What about Edwin VanCleef, would he work at all?
deck is work in Explorers patch?
or i should forget about oil rogue in eplorers rly wanna play oil rogue and get high rank
Oil rogue is OK in tournament meta, though majority of secret paladins really makes this deck marginal.
While patron and handlock where popular, this deck were able to beat both quite successful. But now with popularity of Control Warrior, Secret Paladin and Freeze Mage, it became marginal.
Boom is good in all situations.
A million Hearthstoners can't be wrong.
Why are you downvoting, people? That was a clear sarcasm.
Kobold Geomancer Probably
Wouldn't the azure drake be enough for your spell damage buffs? I don't see the need for a 3rd even if it is a low cost card.
Why dont play emperor?
Short answer: because emperor is bad in rogue.
Long answer: emperor is needed in combo decks or the decks, which have a big hand size usually: Druid, Freeze Mage, Handlock, OTK decks. Rogue isn't an OTK deck, you are not sitting with 8 cards usually, so the tempo, you win after playing Emperor is less then you lose buy playing it.
what should i replace to put in Loatheb ?
Farseer or Fan
This deck is terrible. I don't know if its better the farther up the ladder but playing ladder 17 and losing every game. I find more success playing combo rogue.
As someone who is rank was rank 4 last season, I can say this deck is actually good. This deck isn't as easy as combo rogue, since you got to prepare ahead and try to around getting killed and setting up win condition.
So saying this deck is terrible, is just saying you suck with this deck.
Mad cuz bad.
