Glad you like it! I haven't had a chance to play much yet. I could see running a copy of Ice Barrier or 2 if Face Hunter is beating you. You could just swap out the Astromancer Solarian
2019: My favorite Hearthstone moment was the Hunterace vs. Viper global finals, Arch-Villain Rafaam made for an amazing last game!
2020: I'm stoked on the frequent balance changes. I haven't gotten bored of Hearthstone yet and am loving all the different decks that have seen the play in the Meta as nerfs come out regularly. I also hope to see a return of our Lord and Savior Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
Aggro is a hard one if you don't highroll with early synergies to be honest, there is not really a way to stand a chance against Face Hunter without a lot of luck. I think better than Snip-Snap is actually Bone Wraith since it's a solid taunt.I think better than Snip-Snap is actually Bone Wraith since it's a solid taunt. I replaced Nightmare Amalgam with Gadgetzan Auctioneer (so you could certainly switch it back), I haven't tested the Auctioneer much but against some decks found myself running out of cards too easily. Those are my initial ideas, try what you think will work.
I've been playing this deck quite a bit, climbed from 5 to 2 so far. It's a ton of fun, and unlike a lot of decks in the meta, doesn't rely much on randomly generated cards. I replaced Leper Gnome for Dragon Egg and it is much better giving your dragons more synergy. You drop your big cards like Giant and Drake to get some early face damage and then collect your damage spells, Thalnos, and Leeroy to deal just enough damage to finish the opponent off. Lackeys give you board control early and help you survive. It's a tempo deck with a burst damage finish. It runs away with games if it wins the board.
I’ve got a friend who hit Legend with a very similar deck! The secret sauce was actually Spirit of the Rhino, it works as a 4-mana massive tempo swing with Scion of Ruin
The issue with Zilliax is that it is too expensive and doesn't go through taunts like Lifedrinker. You could certainly have success pushing this down a more Mech-heavy route, but you'd have to cut a few cards and it would be a little bit less of a Face deck and lose a bit of advantage in some of it's heavily-favored matchups (could work, but I haven't tried it).
1. If I don't have a 1-drop, I'll toss my whole hand most of the time. The Quest does not count as a 1-drop, it needs to be a minion that deals damage early and you're very likely to draw 1 with 6 in the deck. If you have a 1-drop already, I'd then mulligan for the Phase Stalker, Toxic Reinforcements, and Eaglehorn Bow in that order.
2. Nah, I don't play wild much sorry (pretty much only Exodia Mage and Mill Rogue). The standard meta runs heals almost exclusively as a result of this deck. But if you're losing to Warlock, Paladin, and Priest I'm suprised; most of the meta is Shaman/Rogue.
It just depends on what I’m playing against, if my opponent is likely to have an answer I save it for use with the Hero Power (most often the case). If not,I’ll play it on curve and use it for tempo, sometimes there’s not another play.
Fair enough, this version is a few days old from before Shaman started running any counters or healing. The other versions run little spells and spell damage or my other favorite has a bunch of Stealth minions.
Just 1x and it's the best secret to potentially deal some damage to your opponent when you have no board not named Explosive Trap. You want it just in case your Explosive Trap is already out and you have Phase Stalker.
Congrats Flux!!! Very happy to see the site grow
Neither are guidance or investment opportunity. But 2/3 of the spells are nature, I’m kinda betting on a law of averages to draw 2 cards

I played this list to Legend a few days ago, its the best Rogue list right now imo.
The dragon synergy improvement is a huge boon for sure, consistent Crazed Netherwing is essential.
I replaced it with Eggs after seeing your comment and watching Monsanto play it. Credit where credit is due, sorry for not stating that.

Awesome guide! Love that you included vod

All those seem like good replacements to me! The mech package lost effectiveness over time as the meta evolved
It's countered by Board-Centric Aggro decks and Control decks pretty well. I built it to counter Shaman and now it needs a counter it seems.

Yes, yes it is. I built it solely to counter Shaman and Rogue, it beat them both more often than not.
Glad you've had as much fun and success as I have!
