A fun deck where you'll steal the opponent's cards using Swashburglar, Burgle, Undercity Huckster, and then lower the cost with Ethereal Peddler. Note that this deck is not very good against other Rogues because Ethereal Peddler only reduces the cost of cards from other classes!
Notice: Really big change in cards!
Early Game:
You want to mulligan for Swashburglar, Undercity Huckster, and Burgle. When you use these cards its better to save the class cards you get from them so that they can later have their cost reduced. Unearthed Raptor, SI:7 Agent, and Eviscerate are good for clearing early game and stalling. Unearthed Raptor should be used on Undercity Huckster is possible so that you can get the most out of Ethereal Peddler.
Late Game:
For late game its good to have used all your Preparation, Burgle, Undercity Huckster, and Tomb Pillager so that you have nice N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Yogg-Saron, Hope's End.
Other Card Considerations:
- Nefarian is a good card and I can see it working in this deck, but in my opinion it was too slow and rarely saw play.
- Violet Teacher had a tough time with all the control decks out there so I decided to take it out.
- Dark Iron Skulker was a good card, but I decided that I would keep Brann Bronzebeard instead.
- Grand Crusader is a card that I have considered using, but for a 6 mana 5/5 and 1 Paladin card I don't think its worth it to replace what is already in the deck.
- Sprint I found myself not being able to find space in my hand and playing cards when I didn't have too, so I decided it wasn't worth it and decided to get Unearthed Raptor and Tomb Pillager to make up for cards.
Card Changes:
- -2 Sprint +1 Shadow Strike +1 Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
- -1 Argent Squire +1 Unearthed Raptor
- -1 Sap +1 N'Zoth, the Corruptor
- -2 Violet Teacher +2 Tomb Pillager
- -2 Azure Drake +2 Loot Hoarder
- -1 Brann Bronzebeard +1 Sylvanas Windrunner
I love your feedback please let me know what you would do in the comments.

Absolutely fantastic deck! I got Doomhammer while playing as rogue and I had Deadly Poison in hand :D Thank you for making this desk.
That is the freaking dream! haha
i have this entire deck except for n'zoth, what can i put to replace it? can sylvana or rag work?
N'Zoth is pretty important in this deck, but I think you can still manage without him. Sylvanas is a good all around card so I can see that working.
Cool! Gonna try it
Thanks a lot! Let me know how it goes.
WINSTEAK! 7-0 so far :D
Had a c'thun warrior concede on me. HAHAHA
Im having a blast with this deck. So far im 4-0 with the deck, a small sample but its so much fun to play. I went against two Burgle Rogues (they seemed the one Kripp played recently, with Nexus-Champion Saraad and such stuff), a Tempo Mage and a Curator Druid.
I guess the deck is weak vs aggro, but i didnt have the chance to see it yet. Maybe i'll consider replacing Yogg with Sylvanas Windrunner, and 1 Burgle with another Unearthed Raptor, but we'll see. So good really.
A lot of these new decks trying to change the meta are weak to aggro decks sadly, so I can see replacing Yogg-Saron as a good move. Let me know how it goes.
I've played a few matches more with the deck, and imo 2 Burgles are fine, no need for a second Raptor. Im still dubious about Yogg though, he single handedly won me a couple of matches, but that's just what he does. In other matches i drawed him and he was a dead card, so i'll keep playing with him and see how it goes.
Wait would it be a good idea to runNexus-Champion Saraad in this deck? I don't know what I would replace though.
Kripp runs Nexus-Champion Saraad in his deck, which is a bit different from this one. The card has synergy with the burgle theme, but its actually quite slow and gets removed instantly most of the time. It is effectively a turn 7 play, and at turn 7 it is too slow and weak, it should have been 4 mana imo. You can try it and see how it goes, i have him, tried him and the results were not convincing so i wont use him. You could remove one Preparation and try it.
Ok thanks for the advice
Bloodmage Thalnos is a good card, but not important. It's mostly there for the card draw. You can get away with using another Unearthed Raptor or Sap.
This is very true sadly. The aggro decks are everywhere in ladder and casual.
I've played something similar at around rank 5 with 55% winrate.
Differences:
- Brann, -2 Ethereal Peddlers, - Raptor, - Burgle
+ Sap, +2 Journey Below, +Shadow Strike, + Doomsayer
It's better vs Shaman and Hunter.
What do you say?
I realize that the Ethereal Peddlers are a little slow and without them you wouldn't need Brann, Raptors, or Burgle. So to play more competitively I don't see it as a bad move. The majority of higher ranks play Aggro Shaman, so Doomsayers and Sap would work perfectly.
I mean basically if you take all those out its just a N'Zoth Rogue deck haha.
I'm gonna try this change. I made it from rank 20 to 13 with this deck, but I can't win vs. aggro hunter at this "high" of a level
I'm actially playing this even without Peddlers )
Peddlers are a little slow at times, but can be very good when you have those high cost cards in hand. I can see it working.
