Well guys, I'm back with another This time I'm trying out a rebuild of Backspace Rogue, updated to new cards.
For those unfamiliar, Backspace Rogue was a metadeck built around the Facehunter/Miracle Rogue phase of Hearthstone. Hallmarks were pure raw aggression, Coldlight Oracles for keeping stuff in your hand while you had control of the board, and bombastic finishes with a Charge minion (usually Leeroy Jenkins), Cold Blood, and/or Shadowstep. At its height, Backspace Rogue would typically close games around turn 6/7, and if they went on much longer, you probably lost.
Since then, cards have changed, decks have changed, and people have forgotten just how aggressive a rogue deck can be. So here is a deck built on the same premise, but with a few more tricks up it's sleeve.
Burgle effects work with Coldlight Oracle and Loot Hoarder to keep plenty of options in your hand while you apply as much pressure as possible. Youthful Brewmaster steps up to the plate with Shadowstep to give you some re-use capabilities with your Combo Cards, Swashburglars, Abusive Sergeants or Oracles. Undercity Valiant double's up with SI:7 Agent and a dash of spot removal to keep your opponent off-tempo long enough to close the game. Sap and Leeroy Jenkins make up your end game trump to deliver the final, last ditch blow. Ethereal Peddler makes a guest appearance as an efficient body at the top of your curve, that can give you more tempo options by discounting any opponent class cards that may get stuck in your hand.
Overall the deck is not quite as fast as the original, but it is hella-fun, and may be where a true "burgle" deck is heading in our aggressive meta.

Hey... as much was Leeroy maligned he may be the hero we need vs. Yogg Saron. Maybe... not the hero we want... but the hero we deserve...
Hey... at least I got Chicken.
