Whenever I've been playing my Rogue lately, I've always come across there - forgive the phrase - scummy Kingsbane decks. I understand Kingsbane isn't exactly a balanced weapon, but when a person gets it to 8 attack and lifesteal in under two rounds, I get a little tired. I know it sounds petulant, but in order to stop me from conceding out of frustration, does anyone know any kind of card technique for rogue to counter Kingsbane? I honestly don't expect too much, especially in the early game where I've been encountering more often, but still, any ideas or suggestions?
This seems like quite strong hyperbole which really doesn't lend itself to getting actual help. Lifesteal is the entire turn 2, and playing Kingsbane is turn 1. Maybe coin Deadly Poison to get to 3. If I'm forgetting a way to do it feel free to let me know.
But basically the way to beat it is aggro. Go wide so he can't remove your creatures in time, and then go hard face (with the occasional value trade if necessary to protect higher value minions) and you'll overwhelm him before he can stabilise.

Lots of taunts and weapon removal kill it.
Gluttonous Ooze is especially good for high-atk KB. Saronite Chain-Gang is also good.
