I used to hate playing Rogue (on either side of the table), but about a month ago I found myself playing it here and there trying to see if there wasn't some spell synergy that would make it more powerful (and make me less likely to re-roll my quests). With the release of Barnes, there suddenly is a Rogue deck I look forward to playing. Here's the version that has kept me in giggles today:
Idea is to get Brann, then Barnes down. You now have a 50/50 chance it will pull the two Bloods to give you a lovely 30/30 for your opponent to answer. Thanks to Shadowstep, you can do it a couple more times if you have to.
One option that I'm playing with is replacing the two Blood of The Ancient One with Ragnaros the Firelord. The plus side is this gives you an immediate 16 damage (depending on how clean the board is). The down side is that the Rags will be less sticky. Though the deck can be a little more consistent since you will eventually pull the "real" Rag - and on games where the card draw is going against you it might be what you need to hold the opponent off long enough to play Yogg-Saron. Remember that if you've already pulled Rag, it will no longer come up with Barnes and so you may want to rethink your strategy accordingly.
