Usually I use Combo on Tinker's Sharpsword Oil on a low-cost minion to get valuable trades and then use my weapon accordingly. (if there is a minion I don't want on the board it has to go, if no enemy minions SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORC!)
I used to play oil rogue a lot until I started seeing face shamans. Besides that, oil rogue is not that strong, especially when you don't get good draws and the druids/paladins curve perfectly.
I'm probably still making a lot of mistakes with Oil since I have just a month ago started playing with it - how do you win against combo druids?
Its very tricky, but if you manage your life total well and put them under enough pressure early you can take them out before they get a chance to combo. I am running a Tomb Pillager and a Piloted Shredder so i can still maintain board presence. Dr. Boom is also in my deck which help out in a lot of match ups.

Yeah I haven't run into very man face shamans on the ladder. I just find rogue is very good at having answers and keeping the board clear, especially vs paladin.

I played 7 games yesterday evening with oil rogue. 3 secret pallys, 2 combo druids, a renolock, and some random mage deck.
I went 7-0. Has anyone else been playing it lately? What do you guys think?

I think that you should enjoy it while you can, because Oil is going away once standard arrives.

I am aware of that. But this isn't a conversation about standard. I'm talking about the current meta.
Just wanted to know if other people have been having similar experiences as me.

Too many FaceThralls for me right now, but otherwise it's doing quite well.

Yeah i can imagine that the face shaman match is a hard one.
I have been thinking about teching in a Sabotage just to kill off Doomhammer and some other minion on the board.

True an ooze would probably be more mana efficent :)
And I think you mean 12 damage instead of 14!
