This is what i ran back to d5 this month except i had only one shroud and had one double agent for that shroud.

Then i took jackpot rogue to legend from there.

I am at diamond 6 atm after playing suboptimal list for awhile thanks il do that and replace the one shroud.
Would you mind sharing the jackpot list.

This is what i ran to legend.

Second list is a little more aggressive, i am finding out that it ks pretty hard to out value warrior and that tess is a prime mutanus target so i dropped him and the shadowsteps, i might drop sprint and some other card from my current list flr two filet fighter or two wicked stabs.

Edit: vanessa and sprint could probably go for two wicked stabs

I might switch to the new control variant just for diamond 6 becuz you know as usual at diamond 6 you face those diamond 5 control players that usually is a bad matchup so im gona make a switch then go back to rogue at diamond 4 idk man so many control deck atm.

Yup and not just at d5, i faced 5 straight control warriors after i made legend.

I gues il have to play more reserved sometimes i just use my resources too wastefully I think.

im not a Fan of these n00bbish Smite Around OTK charge swings
im plays Rogue only whole times, but i dont like this low-skill wins with the trash Smite swings, cuz its not fun to me wining with that and its soo frustrating to losing to this low-skill swings, so as a Thief Rogue i went a FULL thief-burgle style instead of pirate variations…

in most times the Smite swings are the only "end game " or in pure pirate Rogue final-victory swings, which wins the game at most, dealing base 14 dmg to face for 8 mana, Smite + 2x Filetfighters… but its kinda BOORING, toxic and ZERO satisfy of wining by this style…

by the way, giving Rogue another pirate archetype while we arleady are struggling with MEHHH warriors for month, its a bad “cheap” design…

I like thief rogue it is my my faveroute type of rogue but atm i just want diamond 5 who knows maybe then il try and make a theif list.

I tell you what il try and build a thief rogue list again but il test it after hitting diamond 5 :slight_smile:

Why are you guys not playing bomb rogue? That one can’t seem to miss, is it because its t3 on hsreplay because silvers cant pilot it?

Probably because the mine rogue is a bore fest. At least that’s what I’m guessing. Mogkus jackpot list is a lot of fun. That’s what I’m playing

@Atheus, please include your deck lists in the following topic. I’m trying to consolidate what’s working for players after the miniset.

I am so annoyed at the gnoll revert.

The entire concept of thief anything makes me not want to play this game.

You need to bring your cards and play them, not steal other people’s or create them out of nothing.

Thief rogue is the epitome of why I have zero interest in this game atm.

Skill is winning.

Not recognise what is better is as much lack of skill as doing missplays.

Sorry to hear that i like thief rogue but the curent version is more of an aggro version.

Well it’s not like Rogue has much of a choice since Blizzard decided to not make Rogue the tempo class but a created by fiesta a la FITB priest. It’s the result of putting clear cut Rogue cards in mage/priest.

My feeling exactly, they took away miracle rogue and hinestly all the archetypes i like in rogue, we are kinda forced to play this style of rogue to have any type of success.

im try it and its fun sometimes and can deeal massive dmg in 2 turns with right combo cards

btw its funny to me dat ppl starts using it since the NEW one minion, while it in reality doesnt change anything at all in this deck, cuz we can “kill” the mine with a spell instead of the NEW minion effect, and with Shroud Coancelment we can save by then the chance to draw Gnoll/or the activator pirate instead of the “rattle killer” but this deck became more poppular due to the mini set huh…
