Why hello there. I’m backspace – I hit rank #1 on 5/31 on the last day and finished #2 last season with this aggro rogue deck (listed below) centered around coldlight oracle.
Towards the end of Season 2, I ran into a couple of aggro rogue variants on the ladder and tried to piece together a list. I noticed that their decks were very explosive, but ran out of gas quickly – or were sometimes inconsistent to get started. I wanted to optimize the list, and once I decided to build the deck around Coldlight Oracle, the deck performed absolutely amazingly for me.
Reasons to play the deck: It’s incredibly fun! The synergy with Coldlight + Shadowstep + Mukla or the explosive amount of damage you can produce with any charge minion makes for really exciting games. It also DESTROYS Miracle Rogue and Giants.
Bad matchups: Zoo – this is actually a ridiculously difficult matchup. Druid - heavy taunt based druid decks can be very tough as well, but winnable.
General strategy: In almost every matchup, you need to mulligan into early board presence (argent squire, leper gnome, loot hoarder, mukla… when you have coin, you can look for Defias Ringleader and SI:7 as well). You should NEVER mulligan coldlight oracle (but don’t keep 2). Your primary concern in most games is their life total rather than the state of the board. You will almost always end games with explosive turns featuring shadowstep with arcane golem / leeroy, or even deckhand (ha HA!) and cold blood. Pay attention to how much damage you have available in hand at all times.
I will be streaming soon (hopefully tomorrow - follow and tune in!), and of course AMA here.

#1 on 5/31 thanks for the help Caleb
I have about a 65% - 70% chance to win against zoo if I get a T1 (first turn of the game) southsea/gnome out cuz if he play something with 2 HP I trade or if he plays something with 1 HP I dagger + kill it. If you get the tempo at the beginning you have a hugely better chance to win.
typical, annoying, no skill deck
I made a last ditch climb with this deck on the last night of the season. Went from 16 to 5 in about 6 hours. Great for climbing, great all around matchups (don't personally feel druid is as bad as some people make it out to be).
Made an account just to say thank you for this deck. I was stuck for 2 seasons on rank 2 with the shockadin deck and every time I would drop down. After similar ups and downs this deck finally made the push into rank 1 and beyond :). In fact so much so that I made it up to legendary rank 52! (Here at home we all thought we'd be going to the tournament lol). After that I dropped many places though but I was happy to finally have achieved legendary.
The deck probably won't be too good ranking up due to the boatloads of zoo and druid decks but once you get past 5 it's the best deck ever.
i watched chakki play this deck from 16 to 5 in one sitting (new season so he's going against all of the legends making the climb). if you aren't watching it right now, check his vods http://www.twitch.tv/chakki_hs
This deck is the most fun I've had in my 7 months of hearthstone. :) Finally pulled me away from exclusive handlock xD Currently top 100 NA legends with this deck. GG :)
"Exclusive Handlock"
Fuck you.
Is there any videos of someone playing this deck on legend ranks and actually winning somthing? I've looked for Backspace stream but there is no recordings of his previous streams there

This is the craziest, most fun deck I have ever played. I went from rank 10 with tempo rogue to rank 4 with Coldlite in 2 days. At first it can be difficult to play but once u get a handle on the deck u will win a lot of games very fast. Druid is one of my hardest matches as well as zoo but in both cases I have around a 35-40% win rate. As u play more and more u can make ur own tweaks. I added an extra blade flurry, assasins blade, and an alcolyte of pain (so u dont run out of steam and cause it eats up spells). Mukhla is not essential! It is extremely useful but if u don't have one don't fret. U can still use this deck effectively. I dont have muhkla cause I don't spend money on this game but the deck still works out amazingly against most match ups. This a great deck. Thank u for posting it.
Oh dear, i don't have [card]Arcane Golem[/card], [card]Coldlight Oracle[/card], [card]King Mukla[/card], [card]Leeroy Jenkins[/card], should i replace to other cards ?
So I've been playing this deck from rank ~15 and now I'm rank 5 - I love the deck, it's so bursty and like twice funnier than any other burst/aggro deck I've tried but there are several problems! At rank 5 there are these new freeze mages that just can't be beaten with this deck (made 5-6 games against these guys and all losses), also zoo is quite hard at this point because you can't feed them cards and you don't have removals... Any suggestions for card swaps for these guys? I tried a second Blade Flurry, but doesn't seem to do much. And the freeze mage is just humiliating - he doesn't let you get to his health, then just kills you in 1-2 rounds while he has that Ice Block on.
I made a video highlighting this deck, explaining the cards and showing some games being played with commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nxKxy_n0E4
hi guys updates on the deck comming soon
Nice, I love Colma's deck, will try this one too.
well 5 games so far, havent drawn into Oracle nor Shadowstep nor managed to get em on my hand... why does RNG hate me so ?
What if i never draw Oracle and i dont have mukla at all only Leeroy, what then? This deck wont work?
Thank you! It has helped me a lot :)
Another brutal and demoralizing 0-6 run today. I just wasnt meant to play rogues I guess cause I cant make any of them work.
mulligan is super important, as you mentioned.
I actually replaced 1 Argent and 1 sap for 2 backstabs
I found myself with the same problem you mentioned...stupid ZooLocks
Overall I love this deck and it is super fun!
