I got legend with odd rogue from bronze(7bonus star from last month), played few games with kingsbane too.. from diamond 2 to legend swapped tour guide with chief inspector cause i was a facing a lot of secret mages. worked for me.
No, because it has a single win condition and is just a lame pirate aggro in disguise once Stickyfinger or taunts are in the way. Haven't lost once to it this season. Have fun with it.
Odd Rogue is easier to reach legend. However, if you master Kingsbane, there's so much potential. It's just that it's not a straightforward deck, even though it's faster than before the nerfs, and it requires planning your damage output each turn. Also, never underestimate Sap. Decklists without Sap are clown lists.
But if you don't want to devote hours to learn the deck and watch some good tutorials from streamers or Youtubers, go ahead for Odd Rogue. Definitely lower winrate, but an easier, more forgiving to misplays, deck overall.
First you need to understand the difference. Odd is a midrage deck which means it focuses on building board while at the same time it has access to effective removal tools. In some way, Kingsbane is more like reno priest - damage over time combo. The huge downside compared to reno priest is 1) lack of survivability and defensive tools 2) vulnerability to techs 3) taunts nullify your entire strategy. Compared to odd, Kingsbane has slower start that require longer setup and the right cards, which makes it easier target for aggro and counterspells.
Matchups :
Big priest - early board make it easier for odd rogue to punch trough and Loatheb is a insta-win whereas Kingsbane beats the wall with its own head until it eventually dies.
Secret mage - Kingsbane is slower and sometimes it fails to find its win condition due to couterspell. Odd is slightly favored unless your opponent runs ice block which is a rare case nowadays.
Reno priest - kingsbane is obviously much better in this case since it excells at beating decks that do nothing for long time. Priest simply can not recover from taking immense damage over and over unless they run stickyfinger. Odd rogue has about 50/50 chance.
Darkglare warlock - this should be easy for either. Your opponent will help you by killing himself quickly.
Token druid - odd has much easier time dealing with opponents board while building its own. Some would say druid is favored but I strongly disagree. Druid has to have a dream start to overwhelm you. Having a 12 attack weapon that you prepare for 3 turns doesnt deal with a swarm of gibberlings so Kingsbane is out of question.
Against each other - its all about building towards lethal blow and having mid-size minions is a much more effective way.

Which Rogue hand do you prefer?
and have you achieved Legendary this month?
I seem to be hovering between D R3-4 using Kingsbane
Yes, with Mill and Theft. Hate Kingsbane.
Take a walk on the wild side...
Decklist, please?
Odd Rogue is probably better than Kingsbane, even though it is much less popular

Any reason Chief Inspector and not Eater of Secrets?
Odd Rogue doesn't seem to fare well against the Big Priest Deck.
Hate because you lose to it?
No, because it has a single win condition and is just a lame pirate aggro in disguise once Stickyfinger or taunts are in the way. Haven't lost once to it this season. Have fun with it.

Need odd mana cost cards in order baku's effect work...Eater of secrets cost 4 mana - Chief cost 5.
Well dropped back to Diamond Rank 5 no starts today so will have to try with something...
Kingsbane is very easy to beat. Just hit stickyfinger and opponent concedes. Pathetic.
I tried Kingsbane and i dont know how people reach legend with it. I seem to be unlucky all the time or i suck.
I think Kingsbane will get better deck to climb when it become less popular..i won odd warrior, felt nice.. this guy had 50 hp xD
Still stuck bouncing back and forth between rank 5-3

Finding Odd harder to play than Kingsbane but neither is getting me close to Legendary...
Because meta in wild is currently filled with secret mages, that's why you can't win. Rogues a bit weak atm, try Mage ;-)
Odd Rogue harder? Not even a chance. It's a simple straightforward deck. Kingsbane requires you to think every turn how to utilize resources.
Short version - odd is better
