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.
I'm curious. What ranks was this played at/reached?
hello rank 9 to 3.
i hope legend after loe wings launched :)
hello
if you dont have ragnaros, you go with chro m8
Hey man I love this deck i have been playing it non-stop for about 3 weeks and have tried a couple of things myself. Some insight i wanted to share with from casual play list and noon hyper ranker aggro galore decks are the following.
Consider having 1 shadowstep for extra heals, si-7 hits, and reverse debuffing (aka peacemakers, silence etc). It's a really good tech card.
Consider putting in 1 prep. It's extremely useful to puil when you can't find a turn to sprint for 7 and it can save your life if you get a bad draw because you can prep-beneath/burgle on turn 1 and pray. About 20-25% you will get a nerubian in the next 2 turns especially if they have draw. I personally run 2 of burgle and beneath because i just love the cards and play more end game/control.
Consider running 1 silence and/or 1-2 saps, i use the 4/3 since i also need a strong body but i also run 1 sap as well. These are extremely good for tempo and will win games. Furthermore sap destroys druids as it cancels buff spells as well as let's you undo their early game large minion innervates. Late game it can give you free turns for extra face damage if all they play is big taunter. A lot of times i'll use it on enemy slyvanas to give me a turn to make the game more favorable. Furthermore don't be afraid to use it on early minions frost trap style as your opponent will often not play that minion until 3 or more turns later.
I mentioned below but explosive sheep are much better than haunted creepers for early game survival. Your opponent can't ignore them and they synergize with eggs. Right now you are in major trouble for the first 2-7 turns if you can't get one to pop and you draw badly. You don't have much AE and skulker is more a tech card you use vs shamans and paladins.
Consider running 1 kezan and 1 bgh. Both cards are extremely valuable in the current meta.
Anyway that's about it. My version is a lot more control and late game via anoob. Let me know if you would like to collaborate.
Dude thanks for making such a awesome deck!
(idk if that would be a good idea but maybe the combo Poisoned Blade and the new card Sir Finley Mrrgglton would maybe be a good idea in the future)
hey m8
hmm it can be... worth to try.
Hi, this deck is really fun and all but I just can't see how this deck is supposed to be competitive on ladder in any way. I was rank 1 with midrange paladin the previous 2 seasons and hit legend with control warrior a while back, but with this deck I fell from rank 8 to 15 (!!!) this season - currently i am 2-15 or so. And I am not new to Hearthstone or anything...but yeah, I'm sick and tired of playing Paladin so I will keep going and try improving :)
hey m8
soon ill make a video after Unearthed Raptor launches
Swapped in Nefarian and this deck works pretty well so far.
hey m8
glad to hear that you liked it :)
hey
yea aggros are problem. as you can see on my graphics. I tried everything but not have good results then %52 win rate vs hunters. However when LOE launches. Unearthed Raptor will change lots of things i hope.
actually i figured out the problem to the aggro problem. Essentially Take out the abusive sergeants and put in exploding sheep. don't worry if you can't have one out for an egg and don't have more than 1 out. Many times this saves you 2 ways. First it requires them to deal with the sheep or get the board overturned instantly, second it encourages you opponent to hit the eggs and pop them to use the sheep's explosive damage. This is extremely helpful vs aggro in soaking damage.
What rank did you achiev with this deck?
hello
rank9 to rank3. Then i changed the deck. maybe i would be legend with it if i push hard and had time.
Hey i didnt see it. Can you link it?oh found it yea its overwhelmingly good on this deck :O Unearthed Raptor
Yea as you said it will skyrocket this deck's midrange momentum and this will be way more populer thats im %100 sure. im extremly pleased to be honest :)
i didnt decide what is going to be get swapped yet. im working on it.
i think your ideal use is on sylvanas or anubarak but sylv will be your go to.
its done. Added unearthed raptor.
-1 chow + 1 BGH Awesome deck!
