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.
I know Bloodmage Thalnos is important but what's a good replacement?
Best is kobold geomancer in my opinion, you still get a cheap combo starter + spellpower minion, and the increase in stats makes him a more resistant to all hero powers
That or Loot hoarder
Most people play Bloodmage Thalnos for its spell damage to begin with so Kobold Geomancer over Loot Hoarder since Rogue typically will not run out of cards.
Depends on how hard you want to cykle.
Does this sabotage really efficient ?
i would even say its way too good if u run 1 sabotage :) it's always useful and and as was mentioned it costs lees than assasinate)
Oh yes it works wonderfully for me ! Especially against Handlock, warrior, paladin and Shaman ! One is enough tho
The sabotage is fking sick. I watched it in action playing a mirror (I was using Loatheb in its place) n ended up being convinced to craft it.
I dont know how u get to legend. You must have luck potions in daass to get here
It is really hard to play Oil rogue, and require a lot of practice, to make the right play. But when you have learnt it, it can be really good against most matchups.
no combos without cards in right moment :D so like i say need luck potions )))) dance on rank 9-7 all day :D
You cikeleing(dont know how it is spelled google is no help)(drawing cards until you have the combo). True you need a bit of luck, but not that much, you just need to know how to play it, and how to survive until you got the combo.
LOL Joke of the day. Try go on youtube, and listen to what the Pros have to say about that statement.
I'm having a bit of trouble against face hunter. Would it be beneficial to swap one of two copies of violet teacher for a Sludge Belcher?
Hey dude! Nice guide, i have only 1 question, there is place for loateb? Is rigth put it o take it off? So many oil rogue list have 1
Looks like it is more orientated for fast play, and not controll. I would rather try find a spot for emperor, than loateb.
DaRe, if you don't have controll over the board with Oil rogue, then you are dead. Oil rogue, is more control combo than agro combo. But you only need 1 reduction, from emperor, to have the mana needed for a 27 Damage combo. 2 deadly 0 mana, 1 south sea 0 mana, 2 oil 6 mana, 1 blade flurry 1 mana, 2 eves 2 mana. And you can add bloodmage, into the equation to add over 30 damage, but that really needs balls, to go with 10 cards in hand, with emperor in hand. play emperor 9 cards in hand with bloodmage.
Very nice deck ty :)
Really like the concept of this deck and i've just crafted every card for it. I feel like im playing it wrong but this is honestly my first rogue deck i try out. Was wondering if you have a twitch or if you can msg me your battletag so i can spectate/ ask questions. Thanks for the guide!!
