INTRODUCTIONS:
First of all, sorry for my poor english(my native language is ukranian). In my humble opinion, oil rogue is so underrated at the curent metagame(At TempoStorm meta-reports she is 22). Rogues have good matchup against "Kings of Meta" such as Patron Wariors and Secret Paladins.
TECH:
-
Backstab - our main power in early-game. Have a nice synergy with any card of this deck and good combo-activator
-
Preparation - most important card.Cheapest combo-activator. Good with Sprint, Violet Teacher, Edwin VanCleef etc
-
Deadly Poison - is one of our burst and early game cards.
-
Blade Flurry - Main aoe-removeal and combo-finisher
-
Eviscerate - 2 mana 4 damage(if u have combo). Good for killing big minions
-
Sap - tempocrusher, work good against Sylvanas Windrunner, Tirion Fordring, Piloted Shredder and any buffed minions( for example - taunted Twilight Drake)
-
Bloodmage Thalnos - cheapest Spell Power for our spells, draw and combo.
-
Fan of Knives - helps you to clear the board and draw. Dont afraid to use this on empty board, if this card is useless in current matchup(Mage, Patron War etc)
-
Earthen Ring Farseer-in early game we take a lot of damage, cuz we use own dager.Also we can heal own minions such as Violet Teacher or Loatheb. Good as 3rd drop for tempo
-
Edwin VanCleef - is brilliant if you know how to play and terrible if you don't.First off, he's not a big minion. You should never have that mindset when playing him in a deck. 70% of the times if not more you will use him as a 4/4 or 6/6. It's the most versatile minion in the game, to use him correctly you need to know the current meta and what cards your opponent most likely sitting on (or assume he's sitting on rather). So you either use him to establish early board (which is really important so that's why he's kind of great), as a set up play (triggering mirror, baiting out bgh or silence, to combo with eviscerate and so on) or in a combo play (like loatheb+prep+tinker+vancleef). Tips if u opponent have Big Game Hunter play for 6\6, same for Shadow Word: Death - u must play 4\4. From comments
-
SI:7 Agent one of the best 3rd drop in game. Dont afraid to use without combo. Remember: Rogue its a tempo deck
-
Tinker's Sharpsword Oil - our main force.
-
Piloted Shredder - Most popular 4rd drop in the game. Good against weapon class.
-
Violet Teacher - I love this girl. We have 18 spells for this baby. But be carefull, against Hunter's Unleash the Hounds and Grim Patron. Also our combo from Tinker's Sharpsword Oil can buffed inactive minion
-
Azure Drake - Azure Drakes work perfectly together with spellpower and it also cycles to your strong cards
- Loatheb - One of the best 5 drop. Save us against druid's combo, hunter's Kill Command etc
-
Sludge Belcher - In this deck we have only one Earthen Ring Farseer. Belcher save for us 7-9HP, Also good work against Piloted Shredders
-
Sprint - try to use in combo with Preparation for save tempo

why no asn blade? what would you swap out for one
What is the best replacement for Edwin VanCleef?
I've replaced him with a second Earthen Ring Farseer. Keeps the curve the same and still fulfils its role against aggro.
Healbot is doing fine too, but depending on the meta.
I found that Undercity Valiant is a top tier card in this deck for some reason (although I'm also missing a Bloodmage so i got a pair of those) adn also they're a cheap replacement you sould already have
I've found Big Game Hunter can be really useful
Any replacement for Bloodmage Thalnos?
Loot Hoarder or Kobold Geomancer but u need Bloodmage Thalnos asap
Those cards are bad, play Goblin Auto-Barber or Shade of Naxxramas or the second Earthen Ring Farseer or a Shiv.
Actually you're probably better off not trying to replace Thalnos with Loot Hoarder or Kobold Geomancer, you're not really playing Bloodmage specifically for either the draw or the spell damage but the fact that he provides both and is ridiculously efficient here (both of his effects are relevant for this deck). You could use the Geomancer if you really need the spell damage early, or even Shiv to get both that extra 1 damage + card draw in one card, but you're probably better off replacing him with something more useful to the deck; a second Earthen Ring Farseer is a good choice for example.
Bloodmage Thalnos is providing value in his slot, so if you have to replace him, replace him with more value, not just a card that only sorta does what he does. I played Geomancer for a while and it rarely achieved very much.
just try it bro
The goal of this deck is to kill the opponent with a weapon combo. You use your cheap spells to take control of board early and put pressure on your opponent with your minions, before finishing them off with more spells. Often, healbot is just a dead card, and won't win you enough games(at least w/ this exact deck) to justify running it.
yeah, with belcher rogue have a good temp
healbot good against freezmage
Rouge is overpowdered.
Playing rogue at the moment is like beating a dead horse. The class is in an awful state and it's simply not competitive enough.
who cares if it s comptetitve, 60 per cent os decent enough for ladder or getting to rank 5 and rogue is a fun class to play, if yiu re not pro and playing for money then the competitive argument is just bullshit
play for pleasure dude, not for legend. its a game
That's wrong, you can be competitive in something without money being involved. Hearthstone pros don't even make good money anyways.
If someone enjoys winning, and not losing, then yeah, Rogue isn't the best class to play right now.
If you have "60%WR" in your title you obviously care about how good the deck is at winning.
you're just delusional ifyou think there s any point to being competitive in an unpaid hobby, also people still get to legend playing exclusively rogue so it s not as bad as people say itbis
