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.
This deck works well and is fun! I versed my friend who was a mech mage and got completely destroyed for 4 games because I didn't have enough board control. I eventually won a game by smart thinking and regaining board control.
i've been running kel in this deck but it's meh the conditions are rare that he seals your opponents fate i can now actually craft ragnoros but i really like the idea of sneeds and ive wanted sneeds for a while, what would you guys do? and why?
Sneeds is a good card but more decks are using Ragnaros so it would be more useful to craft him, for me anyway.
any ideas for Tomb Pillager how to integrate in the deck
What I'm trying out is swapping out a Loatheb for a pillager. Can't really say if it makes a difference one way or the other yet, but it's a fine replacement.
Only 4 games in with this one so far, but it's been 3 crushing victories, and a very satisfying (very close) win against a control warrior. Only one game (the warrior) went past round 9. Poor warrior. Anub'arak really, REALLY ruined his day.
Love this deck!
10 games, haven't even gotten up to turn 9 on any of them. 0-10
zzz. this deck is way too easy to have basically a dead hand and not counter the board at all, either with clogging or crap curve. you can run a sim on first 12 cards in hand and see this.
you throw the terms midrange and tempo around while this is neither.
There isn't any perfect deck/game. There is no ONE CLASS TO RULE THEM ALL!!!
I beat freeze mage by getting Ice Block from Burgle. Won despite her 29 point Reno Jackson heal. Not bad.
Burgle is such a hero sometimes
So far I'm 23-23 with this deck. I don't know if I'm playing it the wrng way, but I think at later stages of the game I'm always behind. I only win when I get early advantage. Maybe I'll try switching some cards
I think you need Beneath the Grounds to counter a surprise Reno play... Neutralizes him good; demoralizing for the opposition.
That said, you're right that Edwin would have value here...
This is the most fun rogue deck ihave played in a while,tho i made 2 change;-1 chow +1 baron rivendere(getting so much value from deathrattles :-D)
and -1loatheb +1 healbot for more survivability,got to rank 8 from 12 with win streak
Ty for this creative deck :-D
I just wanna say I am loving this deck and I'm glad to see rogue can be fun and effective again. I beat two face hunters in a row.
One game I got two raptors on the same shredder and It was impossible to come back. No to mention getting it on Sylvanas is game wining.
UNEARTHERED RAPTOR OP
i have great fun playing this deck, but i found that it is difficult for me to survive without heals..
any suggestion for me?
lets wait for raptors and arguses for now. :)
Are you sure Zombie Chow will work out with Unearthed Raptor? Not too ideal for midrange in my opinion.
oh yea,
even if worst scenario happens, +5 more hp is nothing since its a midrange deck. 3-4 minion is still good.
!!!!!!!Just Added Unearthed Raptors to this deck. With it Defender of Argus ofcourse.!!!!!!
I'll try swapping a coupla argus' in as well for now! Can't freakin wait for the raptor it's gonna be amazing
