Ever played a Yogg-Saron, Hope's End with a Malygos on the board?
WELCOME TO HEAVEN
Greetings all, I am a rogue main who has been playing on and off since closed beta. I have a approximately 3200 wins under my belt, about 30% of those ranked.
I usually end the season on ranks 2 to 5, my highest rank ever being Rank 1 with 3 stars way back when GvG was originally released and when Oil rogue actually worked. Past that, I have been experimenting with different forms of Rogue decks. This is by far my proudest creation.
The Element of Surprise?
With the recent insurgence of Miracle Rogues, many players have begun assuming every rogue they play against is playing a Miracle variant. Their plays and mulligans are structured around countering the aggressive variants of Miracle Rogue.
The current meta game allows for this deck to fluorish with its hyper-aggressive removal playstyle. A general rule of thumb for this deck: see a card, remove a card.
Board control is imperative. The moment you lose the board, you have to start falling back on the powers of Yogg-Saron, Hope's End to regain it. Follow it up with a Malygos and 2 Sinister Strikes and more often than not, you'll see the opponent emote "Wow" right before they die!
There are tons more tips and tricks for the deck, but I strongly advocate that experience is the best teacher. Try it out, have some fun in casual mode! And if the deck works for you, enjoy your free Rank 5!

Posted May 27, 2016 (Old Gods)I've ran iterations of the deck with it, I really did not find it useful through those games. But you could always remove Shiv or Journey Below for it.
This deck only runs one Gadgetzan Auctioneer though, I would not advise running Conceal at all.

Posted May 22, 2016 (Old Gods)Great deck, i'm having currently 4-0 at rank 13. Changed Edwin VanCleef and Gadgetzan Auctioneer for another SI:7 Agent and Shadowcaster. Shadowcaster has worked very well with Xaril, Poisoned Mind since you can return it to your hand with Bloodthistle Toxin.
Edit. Changed my mind and put Brann Bronzebeard instead of another SI:7 Agent

Posted May 21, 2016 (Old Gods)Well the way I play it makes it a 50:50 match-up. Shamans are usually the crux of slow rogue decks, and this takes the cake.
When playing against Shaman, mulligan hard for any form of removal. Do NOT be shy using your removal on them. If you have to Preparation into Eviscerate just to get a minion on an empty board, do it. Hand size somehow always replenishes itself (like magic). You'll end up LOVING Yogg-Saron, Hope's End!

Posted May 20, 2016 (Old Gods)Hey!
That's what Journey Below is for! There are enough removal and high tempo cards in the deck to make sure that you at least do not LOSE the board on turn 5 as turn 6/7 are usually make-or-break turns. Sure you might not win the board with minions, but at least you ensure that you are not losing it (badly) and taking more than 3 damage a turn (as an average).
The moment you hit turns 9 or 10, you should feel a lot more comfortable as all options will become available to you. This is when the deck shines as the most anti-control deck out there.
