For the first time, I made it to rank 5 using exclusively homebrews that I came up with. These aren't variations on popular decks but entirely new archetypes that aren't being used on the ladder at all. Others may be using similar decks but none of them have been popularized on hearthstone yet.

My Thief Rogue took me on a 12 win streak for a huge climb to rank 11. From there, I mostly played Party Priest up to rank 5 and threw in a couple Thief Rogue games along the way, finishing off on a 7 win streak with priest. The priest deck did especially well against aggro shaman, jade druid and pirate warrior while the thief rogue beat out other miracle rogues and dragon priests. I didn't face many renolocks but these decks do okay against them.

Here are the links to both decks. I highly encourage you to try both out (the priest is my favourite deck yet) and throw some upvotes if you like them or give some suggestions.

Thief Rogue does exist. Praise the RNG you got this far.

To be fair, your Rogue deck has the Pirate package and the Miracle package, so your Rogue should be functioning just fine.

Either way, congrats on the accomplishment!

Like I said, I didn't invent the thief archetype but I have yet to see a single thief rogue on the ladder. I will admit that I tacked on pirates and miracle to it to make it work but miracle is the standard rogue draw engine and pirates is the standard rogue early game since swash is in thief. In terms of RNG, that's not what made the deck win. Peddler is a solid body and any card given a cost reduction of 2 will be solid. I got my fair share Wilfred's and other useless cards.

Thanks! I don't think I'll do a legend climb. I've never made it to legend and don't really want to invest the time since new WoW content is coming out next week. I just wanted to show people the most fun decks I've played with yet. The priest has a very unique feel to it while the thief rogue is always surprising since you never know what you'll get. I know that I'm already bored of playing AGAINST the same decks. I bet people are feeling the same way about playing those decks as well so it's nice to give more options.

I'm playing thief rouge on ladder this season really really enjoying it currently sat at rank 12 been bobbing up and down the last few days between 13-12.

I've added a beneaththeground but i'm unsure about it doesn't seem to want to be in the first 10 cards in my deck

I was thinking about adding it as well. I think it's a pretty good addition as it's a nice T3 play that rogues don't have a ton of (unless you Prep/spell or Backstab into SI:7). I never got around to it because I ended up playing my priest more but I'm sure it would've helped my Renolock matchup

I don't have fel orc soulfiend or mana geode. Are they both vital to the priest deck? They seem like interesting cards. Worth crafting?

They're both definitely interesting. I find Mana Geode can be very useful against slower decks like Jade Druid because of their tokens or dragon priest because of their 1-2 attack minions early on. Fel Orc Soulfiend is good when you're on the offense and your opponent is trying to clear your minions but decks like pirate warrior just ignore it until it dies. So it's up to you really. You can look at some of the substitutions I've listed in the decklist as well. Hope that helps!
