Thank you for featuring this deck on the front page!
Hi Guys, I am waspeon, a hearthstone addict. I want so share a unique deck that I hit legend with in season 16. If you are sick of all the usual decks, try out this one, it contains some minions that are not often played! The theme is silence. With 3 silencer and Wailing Soul, you can have some very cool combos!
I use this deck only for the whole season and nothing else, alone the way the deck evolved and this is the final result.

UPDATE march 2016:
-1 Fan of Knives -1 [card]Azure Drake[/card]
+2 Eerie Statue
UPDATE:
-1 Zombie Chow -1 Ogre Ninja + 1 Loatheb + 1 [card]Kezan Mystic[/card]
With tgt out, this deck is less value because there are many new good cards. I reached legend with below 60% win rate. The win rate is better against hunter now because there are more mid range hunters. While the new yeti druid just crush this deck, bad news as druid was one of the best match up. Ironbeak Owl has become very valuable and I keep it in opening hand against hunter, priest, warlock and shaman.
Sadly there aren't better ogre/watcher cards introduced!
Mulligan:
Usually you are looking for Zombie Chow and Ancient Watcher, if you have coin can keep 1 Ogre Brute and 1 SI:7 Agent
Against aggro such as hunter and shaman, keep Backstab and Zombie Chow, if you have coin, keep SI:7 Agent. Against hunter, If you have Zombie Chow or Ancient Watcher, can consider keeping 1 Defender of Argus
Against warlock: keep 1 Ironbeak Owl
Against druid: keep 1 Sap (very good against druid!)
Against paladin: keep 1 Fan of Knives
Best Scenarios:
Turn 1 coin Ancient Watcher, turn 2 Ironbeak Owl
Turn 1 Zombie Chow, turn 2 Ancient Watcher, turn 3 coin Wailing Soul
Wailing Soul to silence Rag and Ogres when opponent thought you need to depend on 50% luck to win!
Play Style:
Similar to zoo deck,basically you want to control the board while hitting face. With 3 silencer and Sap, you can deny opponent minions while putting in more minions on the board. Same as zoo, the hardest decision is probably when to go face or clear board.
No Dagger?
Unlike normal rogues, you don't need to dagger up unless you have no minions to play. Dagger is for hitting face for the extra damage or to finish opponent's minions(useful against paladin), I try to keep only 1 charge of dagger instead of saving it to avoid Harrison Jones and sometimes, you just need 1 extra dmg to kill opponent.
Very important: if you have dagger up, use 1 charge to hit face when against warlock, druid, priest or warrior before opponent's turn 5 to play around harrison.
Problem:
By turn 8 or 9 you will probably run out of cards and survive on top deck, so if opponent still have many cards left you can quit game :P UPDATE: with mystic and loatheb, card draw is less of a concern.
When to go face:
When you don't have a good way to clear the board and you have less card than opponent, it is time to go face. No point controlling the board if you are running out of card!
Best Match up:
Freeze mage: there are so many silence in the deck and Wailing Soul to unfreeze minons, I only remember 1 or 2 lost against Freeze Mage.
Normal Match up:
Druid: usually they don't have so many answer, use Sap to turn the tide and silence the big taunts. TGT UPDATE: the new druid is very bad match up now.
Warlock: Against demonlock depends on who has the better draw to control the board, against handlock just wack face and hope they don't have molten giants!
Paladin: Against aggro pala, sometimes you have to race him instead of clearing all the 1/1s(when you can't clear the board). Against control paladin is similar to druid.
Priest: either they have the answer or don't
Warrior: Rush them down or rage quit at turn 7.
Worst Match up:
Face hunter: There is no heal and only two Defender of Argus, you need to control the board from turn 1 and deny any damage as possible, and race him from about turn 4 or 5.
WinRate:
I never really tracked the win rate. But yesterday and today I played 36 games and went from rank 5 to rank 3. I win 22 and lost 14 so my win rate is 61.1%. I made some silly mistakes in at least 3 games that I lost so if you are a better player I am sure your win rate can be much better than this!
Here are some "wins" I recorded. Sorry the top and btm were cut off. This is the first time recording and the set up was wrong.

Why Rogue:
Feel free to try it with another class! I started with rogue because I like classes that are less played, and I wanted to include 2 less popular card Ogre Ninja and Dark Iron Skulker (sadly I have to cut this card, it can be super good or super bad)
Answered by andriska159:
Rogue have good tempo and burst spells so this is why its a rogue deck.
Sap = Best tempo card in game
Eviscerate = Best damage for 2 mana cost
SI:7 Agent = One of best 3 drops if comboed...

THis is a special deck and many times, after you defeated your opponent they will want to add you and talk about your fun deck!

This deck seems too much draw dependant
I'm on rank 8 from 14 now with this deck, its amazing. I swapped one shiv for sprint and thalnos(don't have it) with a dancing sword
Simple Awesome. I love it! At least i can win with rogue now :D
This deck is very strong and I love it!
Here's my evening stream -> rank 9 to 8 with shut up rogue.

Man! Thx for this deck, it is awesome!
Why is there no prep in this deck? Also can I sub something else in for Rag?
Rag is rather important but you can sub with mystic, harrison, fel reaver, Mogor the Ogre, lothab or any other big drops. NO prep because is there not much spell to prep(no sprint).
With the right draw, this deck is just nuts.
First match was against a demonlock, where silences are pretty important in the early game. Egg? nope. Void Caller? nope.
Thank you for that great deck !
Such against Patron warror. No AOE to the pesky patrons, and the silence dont matter against them, because if the warrior just know a little of what he is doing, then he will have 4 at the board before ending he's turn.
I think it's mainly dependent on draws.. if he doesnt have enough cards in hand or doesnt get his thaurissian early hes fucked..
But a really good patron warrior player makes that deck really op too..
turn 5 4 patrons is hard to deal with and most likely GG unless he is dying or out of cards. Against patron we are the aggressor, hit face instead of trade most of the time since if they have execute they will make the trade anyway.
Anyone who likes to win will like this deck haha its completely retarded. Silencing all those trashy minions is just too op and gives too much value.
Currently 8-1 at rank 13 lost once to a huge patron warrior combo.
Perfect curve and great drawing mechanics with spells and by the way thalnos matters a lot here especially with turn 5 consecration with fan of knives. Argus has so many good targets to taunt. Everything in this deck just synergizes so well.
Great work from Waspeon!
Oh and I'm gonna try Fel Reaver right there, removing a shiv. Let me know what you think of this replacement if u can :). Might just be a win more card but with all those silences i feel like its safe to put it there...
Edit: Getting lethal with an ogre over a taunt like Tirion is the best thing ever.
Epic!
What would you replace for it?
If you want to give up against face hunter completely then maybe shiv, agent or fan. Or if you don't have any of the legendary then replace with mogor. For me maybe drake. I can imaging how funny this Mogor the Ogre will be. I just hope it is a 6/6 instead of 7/6!
Can you explain please?
I like to put the most legendary's possible. So I'm gonna put him in :)
6/6 is better as it does not die to big game hunter.
I really like this deck, going for golden rogue and this will the trick.
