BTW considering that Poison Rogue was a top deck before Gnoll was nerfed, and they completely reverted the Gnoll nerf, I think this deck coming back was more likely than not. I’m not at all surprised.
Playing against rogues reconnaissance seems to bring out busted premium cross class stuff very consistently.
The pool is still small (I counted 35?!?) but the number of times you see mi’da is unreal. I feel like there is some hidden code that excludes common cards from appearing in the pool.
I think you are underestimating how important cloak of shadows was to that deck. Gnoll was a nice accessory, but cloak was the reason poison Rogue was able to exist.
Well I guess that without Secret passage and Swindle, the draw engine is not powerful enough to draw your entire deck in a fast way. So the hard combo weapon rogue won’t be able to play the garote combo to burst opponent.
So I guess it’s not stupid to put the “no board” package aside to focus on a more board centric build. And removing cloaks in that perspective is not stupid at all.
But overall, the deck seems too weak to perform at high rank.
What’s the point of swordfish?
A 2/3 for 3 is terrible for just the dredge.
Same for the vessel, I simply don’t see its point in the deck.
Guild trader is needed to reach respectable from hand damage and Scabbs is needed to deal with wide taunt boards like from paladin. Tradeable is also good with gnolls.
Speaking of paladin, Viper is probably a good card since in addition it is a tradable card so it can help with advancing Gnolls early on.
So, for starters I’d remove swordfish and vessel and put in Scabbs, viper, and trader.
