I'm very sorry for my bad English sometimes, my native language is German.
Hey guys,
this is my version of the miracle rogue built for the current META!
Let's begin with some explanations at first...
...what can I replace Bloodmage Thalnos with? → The best replacement is Loot Hoarder in my opinion. In this deck you need that card draw more than Spell Damage. Also you got Azure Drake which secure a 100% card draw. However, if you don't need that extra card draw, then go for Kobold Geomancer. Another substitution would be Shiv. You draw a card, do some damage. It's always viable.
...why Violet Teacher over Xaril, Poisoned Mind? → I personally don't like Violet Teacher that much. BUT I have to admit that this card is just strictly better against aggro decks which you will face all day long. So in the current meta it's much better than Xaril, Poisoned Mind in my honest opinion. If you like Xaril more or want to try it out, just swap it.
...why do you play Earthen Ring Farseer? → It gives you a lot of tempo and heals you eventhough it's not that much. If you don't need healing swap it out for 1x Shiv.
Another good replacement is Cult Apothecary for even more healing.
...why 2x Conceal? → Conceal is most of the time a key card. You need to Conceal your Gadgetzan Auctioneer to get the maximum value out of it on your next turn or to Conceal your Cold Blooded minion to finish off your opponent next turn.
...why only 1x Deadly Poison? → Well, after the Blade Flurry nerf it's really not that helpful anymore. It's good for the early game or to draw cards tho.
Mulligan
Remember when reading the following down there: always try to mulligan Tomb Pillager. With The Coin definitely keep SI:7 Agent! Against slow/control decks you COULD also keep Gadgetzan Auctioneer. Also okay sometimes to keep Xaril, Poisoned Mind for some cheap and effective spells. Against aggressive decks keep something like Backstab and Shiv.
Against a Druid keep Sap and maybe the Shadow Strike/Eviscerate.
Against a Hunter ALWAYS keep Backstab; Fan of Knives is very good too!
Against a Mage keep Shadow Strike/Eviscerate (mostly against tempo mages) and maybe even Sap versus Freeze Mages (you won't see them often though).
Against a Paladin ALWAYS keep Fan of Knives; Backstab could be helpful too quite often. Since there are almost only Control Paladins, you could also keep Sap for the Doomsayer.
Against a Rogue try to mulligan for minions and maybe keep Fan of Knives for the possible Violet Teacher. Theres not much you can do about an Gadgetzan Auctioneer with stealth - but without stealth you gotta destroy it (maybe keep Shadow Strike/Eviscerate)!
Against a Shaman keep Backstab, Eviscerate/Shadow Strike and maybe even Sap for the 3/4 drop on turn 2 or 1 with coin to get A LOT of tempo!
Against a Warlock keep Fan of Knives and Backstab (against Zoolock).
Against a Priest keep all the minions you can get because mostly the Priest doesn't play anything in the early game. His Northshire Cleric can easily be taken out with spells, minions or weapon.
And last but not least against a Warrior keep like all minions you can find, like SI:7 Agent, Earthen Ring Farseer, Tomb Pillager and Gadgetzan Auctioneer. Be careful of a possible Brawl!
Do you have any questions? Just ask in the comment section down below!
And let me know what you think about this deck and my guide!
Switched to this from a previous miracle rogue build and I must say this deck is a ton of fun while also being efficient. All around good deck, so far 4 wins 1 loss at rank 14.
Nice to hear that :)
Replacement for Leeroy?
Wolf Rider or Argent Horserider :)
Hey man, what do you think about Barnes in this deck, I can see him replacing the Earthen Ring Farseer, Im no professional Rogue player so I'd like your opinion!
Well, it's not that useful in this deck. In Malygos Rogue though it's almost a must have. A bit luck and you won the game :D
Alright, thanks for the input! I've been getting some decent results with Barnes actually, sometimes a free coin, card draw, spell damage and since I play adventurer instead of Edwin it can be pretty good. Also, Questing adventurer has been working so much better then Edwin for me, he won me games where Edwin wouldn't of had any impact and he sometimes completely goes out of control (20/16 for instance). Anyways, cheers!
Well, Barnes is actually a fun card and can give u some good things as you mentioned (coin, auctioneer,...) so I'll try it :)
Very fun deck, but it has brought me to the sad conclusion that I just really really suck at playing Rogue. It's like I have to retrain the way I think in matches from how i normally do when playing Paladin, Shaman, and Warlock(the three main classes I play). I didn't have Edwin or Thalnos, but made the suggested replacements you mentioned. Doubt that would have made much of a difference in my play. I just suck at Rogue lol... but it's fun at least so you get my +1 :)
Yes, Rogue is one of the hardest classes in the game. I'm not even close to being a pro rogue but it's so much fun. At least more than Zoo or any other possible aggro deck. However, I'm glad you like the deck :)
What do you think about -1 Azure Drake +1 Dark Iron Skulker
It's a good replacement. Especially against Zoo. I might change that! Good submission :)
Not really but you could try to use Violet Teacher. It may work
Violet Teacher is perfect!
may seem like a dumb question, but if you draw leeroy or cold blood, should you mulligan them away for early game control or keep them
Yes. You need to clear the board from early on with cards like Backstab, SI:7 Agent, Shadow Strike, etc.
Furthermore you have to draw more than just Leeroy and Cold Blood most likely to win the game since Leeroy and 2x Cold Blood is only 14 DMG. You COULD keep Leeroy + 2x Cold Blood + Conceal but it would be REALLY hard to keep up with your opponent in the early game and also to keep a 2 health minion on board. If you can though, it may be worth :D but that's just pure theory
Vancleef and Thalnos are the only cards I'm missing, and I just opened a golden Xaril this morning. Should I dust the Xaril for a Vancleef/Thalnos, or should I keep Xaril? Journey Below already nets me more Xarils and the occasional Thalnos, but I'm trying to figure out if I should use Vancleef over my pretty lil' golden.
Thalnos is a really good card for a lot of decks...but I would keep Xaril (except you really don't like it) and replace Thalnos with Loot Hoarder or Kobold Geomancer and Edwin with Questing Adventurer. In the end it's your desicion which the best card for your playstyle is.
Ok, thank you!
I've been playing this deck for a while, I really like it. At the beginning I ran Xaril, Poisoned Mind, then I realised Violet Teacher would be better against aggro so I started using her instead. I'm actually Rank 12 with this deck, obviously I still have to learn a lot...
But do we really need Earthen Ring Farseer? It's just a vanilla 3 mana 3-3 which restores +3 health... but do we really need +3 health? When do I play this card, then? I usually want to play other minions instead and I don't really want to keep this in my starting hand...
And, another thing, in which match-ups is Edwin VanCleef + The Coin good in my starting hand?
