Hello people of hearthpwn, today I would like to share the deck I used to get legend two months in a row.
Legend Proof:
Stats:
As you might have noticed from my number of rogue wins, I do not play a lot of rogue, but this deck was good enough to carry me to legend twice. Although its ranked in tier 4 in tempostorms metasnapshot, it definitely is legend-viable. This guide will be very brief. Ask any questions you have down below.
So why play this deck over other decks like zoo?
1. Its unique, ie rarely seen compared to cancer like secret pally
2. It thrashes most aggro decks(see stats), especially secret pally and cancer shaman
Card Choices
Abusive Sergeant: Hatch eggs, trade up, occasionally synergy with bgh
Zombie Chow: With all the aggro you need at least one of this to control the board early game(along with cheap spells like backstab and hero power)
Sap: Insane tempo gain with this card, helps to bypass taunts for one turn. Sapping something expensive like tirion effectively negates your opponents whole turn for 2 mana!!
Haunted Creeper: Good Deathrattle and good board control
Nerubian egg: Mainly here for the broken combo with the raptor. Also protection against AoE. Can be buffed with abusive or argus. If desperate you can backstab it too.
Fan Of Knives: Fuck paladins
Big Game Hunter: Fuck paladins and their mysterious challenger. Almost every deck runs Dr Boom, so it will always have a target.
Unearthed Raptor: Cool card, amazing with creeper, eggy, shredder, belcher, tomb pillager and loot hoarder. Not so amazing with chow. Its okay to play it without copying any deathrattle as well, much like how you would sometimes play SI agent on turn 3 for tempo without triggering the 2 damage.
Argus: Taunts and buffs to trade up. Taunts really help against aggro
Shredder: Best 4 drop NA
Tomb Pillager: I dunno, used to have anubisath sentinel before tomb pillager was released. But it was useless af so tomb pillager takes its place. Occasionally you can summon Dr Boom 1 turn earler Dark Iron Dwarf
Dark Iron Shulker: Amazing in a deck like this. Clears big boards with small dudes very cleanly.
Loatheb: This card saved my life a million times against aggro decks with burn(looking at you cancer shaman). Protects your board too.
Belcher: Good taunt, good deathrattle
Boom: Yea
No cold blood?: This deck runs out of steam easily, dont make the problem worse
No deadly poison flurry package?: Meh this deck is more minion based
No Sylvanas/Sneeds?: Too slow
Mulligan:
Always keep: Chow, loot hoarder, creeper, bacstab
Sometimes keep: SI agent(only with coin). Unearthed raptor( only if you have egg or creeper), egg(only if you have unearthed raptor), fan of knives(against paladin)
Strategy/general tips(lol):
-Play just like zoo, trade and control the board. Clear efficiently. At some point, when your board state is solidified, loatheb and go face.
-Against classes like hunter or warlock, it is acceptable to play abusive t1, but generally try to get full value out of it, ie dont play it just to let the mage ping it for free.
-Dont be afraid to play a raptor even when you do not get full value.
-Despite the amount of deathrattles, this deck runs out of steam easily, so play conservatively when you know they have board clears
-Against druid: Try to hatch your eggs asap, try not to taunt them because of silence.
-Against aggro decks, you can freely taunt your eggs(especially if they have used their owl.
-Against other classes like warrior or priest with a ton of aoe, do not taunt your eggs, other wise the warrior can hit the egg then brawl, priest can trade the egg/steal the egg then AoE
-Board control is key, do not lose it, and try to clear as much as possible until you know they cannot comeback(through loatheb etc), or else you can get punished with taunts, heals and renos.
Possible Replacements:
Unearthed raptor: play oil rogue instead
Dark Iron Shulker: Fan of knives, Azure Drake
Dr Boom: Craft it
Big Game Hunter: Another Sap maybe
Possible Additions:
Thalnos>Loot hoarder
Finley<=>Zombie Chow(?)
To anyone wishing for a fun deck that is legend viable, be sure to try this deck out! Upvote and comment if you have any questions. I know this "guide" ain't really a guide when its so shitty and badly written, but I just liked to share it!
PS: Sorry for the random title changes, I got confused which seasons nov and dec were. I guess its 20/21 and not 21/22.
EDIT: Added possible card replacements
Hey great deck but I'm missing Dr. Boom, BGH, Unearthed Raptor, the Rouge class, Hearthstone and a computer. Any replacements?
You can try playing Magic: The Gathering, but I've heard it is not as cost efficient.
I think you forgot the "kappa"
This deck is amazzzzzzzing +1
His deck is more aggressive tho, with cold blood and leper gnomes.
for what card you have replaced Cairn (4/5 for 6 mana)
Yo dudes, here's a video about this deck. Check it out and leave some feedback.
Nice vid man! The first match is pretty much how the deck should be played. You really should have traded the shredder tho, since you have enough power on board to kill a doomsayer anyway.
In the second game you could definitely have won if you attacked with your dagger a few more times earlier on turns 4-6(notice how you were one damage off popping his first ice block). Unlike oil rogue, you don't have to hold your dagger charges especially if you know you are going to redagger up next turn.
Hey, dude. Yeah, I could've won the second game with some different plays, and thanks for the tips.
how good is KT in this deck?
Not very, cos its too slow at 8 mana.
Why not run sir Finley instead of chow so you can get a better hero power since you're not running poison or oil?
Chow is very strong as a one drop, and the extra 1 attack makes a huge difference in trading. Also, the dagger is one of the best board control hero powers to control the early game. You could run it and try tho.
I am testing this platform and I am very ill , is too slow, lack purchasing cards I thought I made a really bad that I am giving my best .
What are your thoughts on replacing one of the Loot Hoarders with Thalnos? Is the spell power worth it, or is the extra attack on the hoarder more valuable?
I dont have thalnos :-[
I dont think it would make a huge difference, but you could try it. During your games, ask yourself if you would prefer thalnos or loot hoarder in any given situation when you are holding it. I think thats the way to evaluate if its worth it.
I would say thalnos is probaby better tho. Thalnos into backstab rekts darnassus aspirants :-]
Hmm might be true for your local meta, but I did face more aggro and midrange decks on my climb, if you look at my stats under "this month". It isn't all that bad against midrange decks, especially midrange druid. If you look at my losses, they were against grinder mage, echo mage, control priest which are control decks and they are not very common.
I guess we could tweak it more to beat control decks, by adding things like azure drake, sky-golem, sylvanas, sneeds, depending on the meta.
I have no idea which one lol. Maybe NA cos thats where reynad plays most(i think), or all 3 servers a whole.
I think we will have to wait for the next expansion, and hopefully new cards will be released to expand the variety of ways rogue can play.
Thank you for this deck, i had about 70% win rate around rank 5.
i replaced tomb pillager with anubisath sentinel buz i think a coin does not do much in turn 5 since this is kind of zoo deck.
i also replaced Dark Iron Skuller with another fan of knives to have a higher win rate against paladin.
Can I translate all these chunk of texts to Chinese and post them on Chinese Hearthpwn when I get to Legend?I will add my own ideas, not copy word for word and cite them.
Thinking about it dark iron dwarf might be better than the extra deathrattle, or even an azure drake. But if anubisath works, then thats good!
Sure if you want to, but would be great if you link it here so that I can see it. I didn't even know that theres a Chinese hearthpwn lol! Good luck on your legend climb!
