Devolve dont work, hex also not.5/5 stay 5/5. Hitting before cant cause they pull them back in hand. I wish you good luck understanding the deck.

Just play face hunter / warrior .

Rogue has no heal and pretty bad early game .

What do you think of the idea of changing the quest to say something like 'Play 4 minions with the same name that cost 3 or more'? It would slow down the deck and require the Rogue to play control while they're setting up the quest. 

 The problem with that is Rogue, as a class, is not cut out to play a control game. No class heals and the hero power becomes more and more useless as the game goes on. By the time they get their Core up, viable control classes(Warlock, Warrior, Priest, etc.) would outvalue them at the end game. If a nerf like that happens, Miracle Rogue will once again be the only viable archetype Rogue can play. 

Playing and bouncing Earthen Ring Farseer would be a decent heal. Shadowstep can effectively heal one of your minions. There are a lot of 3 cost minions with very useful battlecries that could help control the board. Plus, once it's complete, a bunch of cheap overstated minions would also certainly help control the board if they need to. 

I have beaten quest rogue with a variety of decks, I've also lost with some of the same decks.  On the flip side, I've won and lost to various decks while playing quest rogue. 

Conclusion: it's not even remotely unbeatable, and it can easily lose to decks other than aggro decks. Granted, they are weaker to aggro simply because their first several turns. 

Like many other combo decks, if they get perfect draws, it is highly likely quest rogue will win, but if they don't the opposite is likely true.

If rogue gets all the Pieces it needs then yeah it'll probably beat you turn 4-5. Then again a Token Druid with Innervate Vicious Fledgling mark of Y'Shaarj will probably do the same on turn 4-5.

On the other hand rogue can be beaten with a lot of decks even if the quest is already completed. Just always clear the board when you'd expect the quest drop next turn. Often rogue simply lacks minons to finish you off after that

The quest should be changed so it doesn't work with Swashburglar anymore (in regards to the bouncing, once the quest is played it is fine if its a 5/5) since it completely breaks the flow of the game and even any potential counterplay would be thwarted by bad RNG.

I've only played Mage since the new set released and every variant I've tried has done fine against the Quest Rogue decks. 

That said, this card and the deck that enables it is the most offensive example of a solitaire deck I've seen in a TCG/CCG in many, many, many years.  Great example of the people behind the scenes making these cards having no idea what they are doing because I guarantee they didn't intend for the deck to be this easy to go online. No TCG/CCG maker intentionally creates the potential for this sort of archetype because it goes against what every TCG/CCG is about and everyone complains endlessly. I'll be shocked if either the Quest itself or one of the two bounce 2 cost minions aren't in the first batch of cards to get nerfed after this expansion's release.

Wow, are quest rogues that bad that people auto-concede once they see a rogue? I'm playing a thief rogue that probably won't win the game and 3 people today have auto-concede against me.

I don't know you, but I have beaten cavern rogue every time I found it (but one). Even two times they got the reward by turn 4, and still fell.

And I'm not even playing top meta decks, but some I invented in order to start toying with the new cards despite not having a great set yet.

So far I have done it with 3 midrange-control decks and a midrange-aggro. Don't really know how is it that oppressive to everyone else.
