Need advice on Teching for ladder - Galakrond Rogue

HI with big warrior on the rise and ofc a paladin , i was wondering if i could optimize my rogue deck and tech 1 silence carn in my deck the card i might take out is the prep however sometimes i keep prep and seal fate on for turn 1 vs paladin.
The other thing i was thinking of is maybe one shadoweaver to lock down dh for one turn or to run an ooze on lock down any, tips been annying to lose again at d4 3 stars xd.
The alternative option vs warrior is to go all and try and kill him early before he can generate armour for his shield slams but man he has so removal tools like coerse.
Any advice welcome.

From my experience as a Rogue player, i tend to try to keep pressure on the warrior and kill him before he can get any scary stuff going.
DH is just a really hard matchup for a Rogue, especially without too many tempo. Now i havent played galakrond Rogue in a while, but if i remember correctly it tends to be slow compared to for example quest Rogue (its a good deck fight me xD) or weapon Rogue.

as for your deck, i think that the preparation aint that great. you would rather run a sap or something like that. your spymistress can deal with the paladin 1/3.
your deck seems a bit slow with the questing and wand thief also. perhaps try a different deck, or tech in some early game pressure. shadoweaver is a good one.

I would definitely recommend the sap against the big warriors and paladins

I didnt get exactly what type of card do you want to include. If it is a silence type of card, maybe try the new Silas, with all those lackeys it might be usefull in your deck. But again i didnt get what are the types of decks that you are having the more problems with.

When do u play shadoweaver on turn 5 usualy or to block blade dance turn ?
I stil have much to learn so ty, stil trying to get legend xd.
I finaly got diamond 3 though il consider tweaking the deck like u said.
Fran i was refering to owl - mostly this - or sap, shadoweaver or an ooze possibly like the other guy mentioned.
Although gala rogue is weak i only play this deck so i know it inside out, here are my stats
303 games , 155 wins - 148 losses - 51 percent winrate.
19 percent paladins faced, priest 12%, hunter 14%, dh 17%, mage 12%, Rogue 7%, warlock 7%, warrior, 6%, shaman 4 percent, druid 4 %.

Personally i don’t use tech cards often, i think it slows my decks down. but if you were to use it, definitely for a blade dance turn, as thats the only way a DH can clear a decent board

also i’m not an expert either, just sharing my 2 cents :slight_smile:

The other option i have is pure paladin i lack the murloc legendary.
But i can replace with barov, which can potentialy combo with consecration as well.
Would i have a better climb i know pure pali has bad matchups vs bomb and broom paladin what do u think.

if you goal is to specifically beat those 2 decks then your best bet is secret passage + blackjack stunner, possibly even teching sap if you really hate them, it do however make other matchups worse

The idea is to um just have better matchups against decks that wil be harder for me.
So your saying i should play the secret mircle rogue variant, atm im practising with my friend he hit legend already but please give more feed back i got just a week and half to hit legend before new meta drops

sooo i’ve been messing around with galakrond Rogue a bit and came up with the following version. im 6-1 with it at the time of writing. it has a stealth package to deal with the aggro, while giving you some more draw as a bonus.

i think galakrond Rogue is pretty strong and can get you to legend if you play your cards right

Before i reply to u Peverein do u think the miracle secret rogue is better ???
If say what are muligans for dif matcups if u dont mind

i actualy ran this exact version without the saps, the only downside prolly is the mage spels which rly help me alot and helped wi me gamem but maybe i dont need them il mention this deck to my friend im just trying to prepare myself before i head back to ladder.
ty all for the replies .

the different versions are good against different decks, i would suggest reading vicious syndicates meta report

https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/vs-data-reaper-report-178/

Thank you il go check it out.
Well this just confirms it gala rogue does bad vs paladin good vs dh good vs priest.
Secret rogue good vs paladin badabit worse vs dh.
I am somewhat surprise their galakrond rogue version runs 2 devoted maniancs.

My counter qns is: Is it worth to tech your deck vs them? How much % are your matchups and how much it is affecting your winrate?

I posted all my stats but here il show it again.
303 games , 155 wins - 148 losses - 51 percent winrate.
19 percent paladins faced,
priest 12%, hunter 14%, dh 17%, mage 12%, Rogue 7%, warlock 7%, warrior, 6%, shaman 4 percent, druid 4 %.

Based on the comments and advice of my friend i am not considering either running the stealth package like the other guy said or i take out prep and quest for 2 saps.

You can always try your ideas out but the same qns applies.
Players may find it not worth to tech in many cases.

Yeh i mean i haven managed to beat them without sap, but yeh il see how it goes so many things to consider ty for ur input.

there is also only so much you can do with deck building to improve your results, eventually you reach the point where you just need to improve your technical gameplay instead

And last breath cards for survival.

Yeh that is true, man this meta sure is fast it feels even faster then before now.
now rank 2 getting closer focusing intensifies xd
