So some jackass rogue i queued into emoted me then played gral which ate darkness and gave him a 22/22 on turn 4. After taking my sweetass time I sapped it and he replayed gral and it was just a 2/2...thus he conceded....so much for taunting with an absolutely horrible deck.

Out of curiosity I tried to make one and it just seems super trash...i love gimmick decks but this just makes me cringe. 

BUT....could BIG Rogue be a thing? Gral just seems like a trash card.

Thoughts?

Rogue barely has any big cards other than Gral right now, and low survivability up to that point in the game.

Don't draw Gral on curve = lose, Gral gets killed = lose lol

Yeah it's just a bad meme. I'm all for meme decks and play plenty of them myself each week, but one that only works by expecting your opponent to not have an answer for four mana AND for you to either cripple your deck by only including The Darkness or hoping to win a 1/10 at best if you include other minions is just highly optimistic lol.

.... or Gral get silenced = you lose. 

Maybe sometime next year Gral will become a thing, but right now - I don't see it working.

 I play plenty of memey-themey deck but on this one..I just..."Really, you trying to Barnes me?" There's not even a way to shuffle Darkness back into your deck.

i play him in wild. no darkness but he eats rag or lichking. silence doesnt matter much most of the time. deck is still in construction and saronite nerf was bad for my deck.

 Why would saronite matter?

Hi,

King Carnage: There's not even a way to shuffle Darkness back into your deck.

There are posibilities to shuffle cards in your deck, esp. with Rogue:

Baleful Banker, Gang Up and Lab Recruiter.

But you can't pull it out with a Barnes-like effect, because the summoned version has no candles.

 

 If Banker or Recruiter is in your deck then Gral could eat that.

I dont think dormant Darkness is targetable by gang up.

I used the term barnes meaning turn 4 high roll me (like renoucelock or big priest are known for)

Try again. lol.

 deck doesnt have early game except keleseth, si7 and some removals. playing spirit of the shark on4 then saronite a kelesethed or spirited saronite was letting me breathe a bit.

 Ah rogue may have worst spirit..4 is pretty expensive...love my double hooktusk turns though. 

Big Rogue is a pretty memey thing in Wild, but it's definitely a deck you can win with. As for Shark Rogue, lots and lots of people are actually have really good success with it. Just a regular Miracle Rogue shell, include the Spirit, some Pirates, Hooktusk, Sonya, Gral and if you're doozy enough, the Darkness, and you actually get a very solid Rogue list. There are a lot of iterations, and people like wiRer actually run cards like Snapjaw Shellfighter and Corpsetaker. It's a pretty flexible list, but it works.

Snapjaw with taunts is pretty broken

I think Gral is pretty good , I am not saying the Darkness Gral deck you played against is good but the card itslef because if anything it at least thins your deck and rogue has plenty of silence targets already.

22/22 grall is a meme but 5/5 for 5 deathrattle "draw a minion" is qiite potent actually

It was like the Barnes + Yshraaj, it wasnt that competetive, but was fun

 Are you trolling? O.o

I don't meant the dormaned version, but the released one (after 3 candles) and this answers your question. :P

 If you have a 20/20 darkness on the board and you havent won already, there's a problem gang up wont help. I know your initial response was sincere but all wouldnt work with what the deck is trying to accomplish.

I dont understand why you are so aggressive about that player, calling him jackass, roping him, etc. I mean, that guy played a pretty highroll meme deck. I wouldnt compare it with Barnes, since with Priest you have multiple targets, and not one like that rogue deck. I rather face that kind of rogue deck than bs huntards and aggro decks.

 The idiot emoted me thinking he won because he was playing gral on turn 4. Just play your cards. Emotes so early in the game is pure low iq jackassery.

I think I only emote when some unoriginal loser is playing spiteful or when im wrecking a braindead odd pal

I understand that you got tilted over him emoting and stuff, but I don't understand how you can get so tilted over someone playing a garbage meme deck. 

Worst case scenario: you'll lose but atleast have a more interesting experience because he's not just playing a tier 1 ranked deck.

Best case scenario: You get a free win.

Honestly the guy was probably just excited because he pulled off the combo, just let him express his excitement and move on.
