Hey! This is my midrange rogue deck i used to hit legend, and then top 100 on EU!
Proof: http://i.imgur.com/Bs0jJGv.jpg
If there's enough interest, i am willing to write a guide on match ups and mulligan strategy's etc.
Mulligan Guide:
The mulligans for this deck are strange, because the coin plays such a big part in initiating combos, but they don't differ too much. I 95% of the time keep Harvest Golem or another 3 drop such as an SI Agent. SI7 also is extremely strong with a backstab already in hand.
Class Specific Mulligans: (Listed in order of Importance)
Hunter:
60/40 Matchup. Deal with their early threats whilst building a board that isn't weak to UTH, sap anything that is hound-mastered. Sapping the highmane is also a huge tempo play.
With Coin: SI7, Backstab, Fan Of Knives, Harvest Golem, Deadly Poison, Sap, Taz Dingo
Without Coin: Harvest Golem, Backstab, Fan of Knives, Deadly, Farseer, Sap, Taz Dingo
Warrior:
It is hard to out control the warrior, so being very aggressive is key here; a 50/50 matchup
With Coin: Harvest Golem, Deadly Poison, Eviscerate, Backstab, SI7, Taz Dingo
Without Coin: Harvest Golem, Deadly Poison, Backstab, Eviscerate, SI7, Taz Dingo
Priest:
Another 50/50 matchup, the 4 attack minions are key. Be wary of Cabal on Harvest Golems.
With Coin: Spectral Knight, SI7, Deadly,Sap, Eviscerate, Backstab, Harvest Golem
Without Coin: Spectral Knight, Deadly, Sap, Eviscerate, Backstab, Harvest Golem, SI7
Warlock
There is literally no handlock on ladder right now, and until the hunters go that won't change, making it easy to mulligan for zoo/midrange. Both match ups are favoured, especially if on the coin. 65/35.
With coin: SI7, Backstab, Harvest Golem, Deadly Poison, Blade Flurry*, Eviscerate, Sap, Fan of Knives
Without Coin: Backstab, SI7**, Harvest Golem, Deadly Poison, Blade Flurry*, Eviscerate, Sap, Fan of Knives
*Blade Flurry is only ever a keep if i have Deadly poison with it
**SI7 is a keep if i have backstab
Edit:
- Loatheb
- Spectral Knight
- 1 Shiv
- Assassins Blade
+ One ERF
+ 2 Sludge Belchers
+ 1 Loot hoarder
Warrior and Hunter are 70% of ladder, and these changes improve those matchups
Hey man, AMAZING deck!! I went from rank 10, to rank 167 Legend. With it just alone. It performed so well agaisnt all these priest, and hunter decks popping up everywhere. I thank you so much! Got me my first Legend!:D
Only thing i changed was:
-1 Azure Drake
+1 Spectral Knight
These Knights did so much work for me! Glad i made them gold!
I like the deck, nice guide. I'm not used to playing tempo rogue, trying to get comfortable.
Zoo matchup seems fine to me, easily 60% at around rank 5-6 atm. I used to play a lot of miracle rogue, the matchup seems the same in the beginning. Mulligan aggressively for low drops and be willing to make some ugly trades to get board control. Once you have board control, you pretty much win unless they top deck you badly.
For some reason, I seem to be losing the hunter matchup pretty bad though. I won 1 out of 7 hunter games. Any tips? The secrets seem to rekt me. I +1 harrison ford -1 spectral knight, but matchup still hard. What is the key strategy here? Don't get me started on mage either, but they are rare enough that yea I can ignore them I guess.
Did I mention, I hate the priest matchup? So depressing.. The warrior matchup has been good for me though. So it evens out, except that priest is showing up more now.
Ok i have 400+ victories for rogue. I played 13-15 games with this deck, and actually , i ve ho idea how did u get to top 100 exactly with THIS deck. First of all its EXTREMELY bad vs zoo. I guess like 10-15% winrate or less. When i noticed it in ranked, i asked my friend to play with me some matches for zoo trying to understand whats wrong with this match up. And I found that this just sucks vs zoo. Ok, what about other classes? I guess its about 50/50, this deck can not do anything with face trap hunter. NOT reynad OP hunter but FACE hunter which ignores all your minions and just attack u in face every turn puttting a lot of traps which slow u as shit. So I guess the common win rate of this deck is about 35-45% which is so far from "good deck". I forgot to say, played this deck on 1st rank (EU server) and ye, now im 2 rank with 1 star. Thx for the deck mate.
no problem mate, give me your battle tag and we will try to fight zoo vs your "60%" after losing to me in 4/5 games u ll realize what do i mean.
I find it pretty weird to post deck saying "well guys, listen up, I have 60% win rate vs zoo, it means this deck is good, trust me im a doctor (c)" and when people ask u to prove it u find it rude. Seems like u just have nothing to prove cuz u know that u posted deck that has no potential in current meta. end of the story.
Just because the deck didn't work for you doesn't mean that the deck is bad. Maybe the pilot doesn't know how to run the deck properly. Maybe your meta dosent allow for this deck to be a high win percent. My question though is if you continued to lose games and you thought the deck bad, and even tested it with a friend, why did you continue to run with it? How about you put up your deck that you used to climb and let everyone pick it apart.
Is Ysere a viable replacement for Ragna?
For what it worth... as a main Midrange Rogue (I earn the 500 wins Rogue golden face by only playin' Midrange rogue, and ended rank 3-4 last 3 seasons by playing mostly midrange rogue), I can say this deck is truly awesome :P
Congratz to the author and thanks for opening my eyes on certain cards !
This deck works great!
I really live this list and ran what I could as I am missing a lot of the oranges and a few blues, but I'm for sure going to keep building it to run with my hunter deck. Great deck +1! Add me if you wanna do some testing with it.
just play arena so you have infinite packs and gold worked good for alot of people including myself and its really easy if you just take value plays
My best run in Arena was 4:3 but most of the time it is 0:3, so this is no option for me. Well, given that I cannot play at all, I have not been past rank 15 in any given meta, it is quite apparent that I suck. So, without spending money, there will be no Ragnaros in my deck ever..
