Hello, i promised a guide if i get 10 votes so here we go;
Core Strategies:
-
First priority is take control of the board with your heavy early game cards.
- Whenever you take control of the board, immediately play your Burgle or Beneath the Grounds to make some mid-game, late-game investment.
- "Zombie Chow, Haunted Creeper, Nerubian Egg, Unearthed Raptor" as you know, this guys are very strong at the begining of the game. And we will make them stronger with our other 6x 1-mana support cards (2x Cold Blood {use it on Nerubian Egg if you can}, 2x Deadly Poison, 2x Abusive Sergeant)
-
Why do we have 1x Dark Iron Skulker, 1x Blade Flurry and 1x Fan of Knives? Isn't it too much area of effect damage for a mid-range deck?
- It is the strongest side of mid-range rogue. Whenever you decide to clear the board with a aoe spell(Flamestrike,Hellfire etc...), you use too much mana and after clearing, you cannot play a minion which is very important for mid-range deck. However Dark Iron Skulker has a huge value about this matter. Hits 2 aoe dmg and 4-3 minion which is fantastic for a mid-range momentum.
- Whenever you use Deadly Poison and Tinker's Sharpsword Oil, It makes you well prepared for 2-mana board clear for next turn. Thanks to Blade Flurry. Thats how we use this guys on mid-range. Preparation.
- Antique Healbot for holding aggro decks besides area of effect options.
-
Mid-Range momentum.
- Whenever you have acceptable control on the board, immediately play your over powered value cards.
- This guys are 2x Unearthed Raptor for 3-mana, (With this card, this deck's mid range momentum is completed.)
- 2x Piloted Shredder for 4-mana,
- Loatheb for 5-mana,
- Sylvanas Windrunner for 6-mana,
- Dr. Boom for 7-mana,
- Ragnaros the Firelord for 8-mana
- And your "unending win condition" Anub'arak for 9-mana.
Mulligan (From high priority to low priority):
- Vs. Hunter : Zombie Chow, Haunted Creeper, Deadly Poison, Nerubian Egg, Unearthed Raptor and Abusive Sergeant.
- Vs. Paladin : Zombie Chow, Haunted Creeper, Deadly Poison, Nerubian Egg, Abusive Sergeant and Fan of Knives.
- Vs. Mage: Zombie Chow(If your 2-mana beginners are also good, wait until Mirror Entity to play this card), Haunted Creeper, Deadly Poison, Nerubian Egg, Unearthed Raptor, Beneath the Grounds.
- Vs. Druid: Deadly Poison, Beneath the Grounds or Burgle(not both of them), Piloted Shredder, Nerubian Egg, Haunted Creeper, Unearthed Raptor and Cold Blood(This card saves you from any Innervate aggression).
- Vs. Warrior: Beneath the Grounds, Burgle, Nerubian Egg, Unearthed Raptor, Piloted Shredder, Haunted Creeper and Dr. Boom.
- Vs. Shaman : Zombie Chow, Haunted Creeper, Deadly Poison, Nerubian Egg, Unearthed Raptor and Abusive Sergeant.
- Vs. Warlock: Nerubian Egg, Beneath the Grounds, Zombie Chow, Unearthed Raptor and Haunted Creeper.
- Vs. Rogue: Zombie Chow, Haunted Creeper, Nerubian Egg, Unearthed Raptor, Beneath the Grounds and Deadly Poison.
- Vs. Priest: Deadly Poison, Beneath the Grounds or Burgle(Not both of them), Zombie Chow, Abusive Sergeant, Haunted Creeper, Unearthed Raptor, Piloted Shredder, Nerubian Egg, Dr. Boom and Cold Blood.
Replacements:
First of all, this replacements may hurt your mid-range momentum so i dont recommend it but if you dont have the card, replacements are also good solid cards too.
- Sylvanas Windrunner can be replaced with Trade Prince Gallywix, Cairne Bloodhoof, Emperor Thaurissan or Nexus-Champion Saraad.
- Ragnaros the Firelord ---> Sneed's Old Shredder, Chromaggus or Kel'Thuzad(i didnt try it but people on comments say they have good results with kel+anub combo.)

Working on:
- I was working on Sabotage with Blingtron 3000;
Played with +1 Sabotage, +1Blingtron 3000 and -1 Loatheb, -1 Antique Healbot for a while. It does go very well against mid ranges-control decks and even sometimes it does go well against hunter and paladin because they both can destroy Eaglehorn Bow and Truesilver Champion. But i'm not still sure about this revision. Time will tell.
- Just started to working on Harrison Jones and Blingtron 3000 combo. I will let you guys know how it goes ASAP.
- Just started to working on Captain Greenskin. I will let you guys know how it goes ASAP.
Revisions:
- -1 SI:7 Agent, +1 Sludge Belcher: SI:7 Agent is a very good card but sometimes when you started without coin, you cannot use them when you have two of them. Plus one good solid taunt card makes a huge difference against aggros.
- -1 Sludge Belcher, -2 Antique Healbot, -1 SI:7 Agent, +2 Unearthed Raptor, +2 Defender of Argus: (17.11.2015): You are so welcome raptor... Plus with raptos, now we can use Defender of Argus on this deck at last.
Screenshots:
- Control Warrior (with 4 armor up) got rekt by Anub'arak. He almost use his every single legendary but i killed them all with it.
Oh
Im sorry to hear that you dont like it. But Burgle, Fan of Knives and Sprint are way more draw then other midrange decks. isnt it?
Glad to hear that!

I know it's literally the name of the deck but any replacements for Anub'arakfor while I wait to open him/save for him? I'm currently using Edwin VanCleef but because of the curve of the deck he typically is only 6/6 when he pops out.
EDIT: Just saw the other comment I think I'll go with a Ysera replacement for now.
Just added other replacements too.
gl hf
Is it possible to get legend with merely this deck?
i dont know atm to be honest. im still going for litte changes so its not even stable.
What rank were you playing this deck at
Hey if i remember correct, i was 9 atm
Hey I'm really enjoying this deck and notice the main issue with consistency is a lack of card draw. Any ideas to help this out?
hey,
yea we have only Burgle, Sprint and Fan of Knives for draw. maybe you can replace Loatheb with Azure Drake
Ah i was playing with the version before sprint, it seems like it would be good but hard to play without preps
would it be ok to replace anubarak for kelthuzad?
i dont recommend it, Anub'arak is your key card against heavy control decks like control warrior, handlock, priest and druid.
but i suppose best replacement would be Ysera or Nefarian however Kel'Thuzad would be very bad since you dont have too much minions like zoo decks.
I've actually replaced Ragneros with Kel'Thuzad since i don't have Ragneros and it works pretty well. But like most of the time with Kel'thuzad if you don't have a board he's useless.
Hi man great deck, do you think lacking preparation make some spells heavier to use like sprint ?
hey,
i tried Preparation and didnt like it at all. its a mid range deck so we are using our minions when we have mana so we dont need 4-mana Sprint at all.
Really nice deck man. I will deffinitely try that seems it could be fun :D
sylvanas -> Trade Prince Gallywix or Loatheb
rag -> Sneed's Old Shredder or Chromaggus
haha are you sure about it? since Sylvanas Windrunner can be on almost everydeck. but i cant say the same for Anub'arak. :P
i wouldn't say its Nerubian if it only really runs some of them
