Forged in the Barrens is here and it is time for a deck roundup for the stabbiest of classes - Rogue!
- Use these decks the way they are or as a base to find your own path in Forged in the Barrens.
- Decks that are doing well today may not be doing well tomorrow - the meta is rapidly evolving.
- We are not suggesting you craft any cards yet. If your dust is important to you, wait 1-2 weeks after launch to let the meta settle a bit.

Stealth Rogue
Not a whole lot has changed for our stealthy, pen-flinging friends.
The addition of Wicked Stab (Rank 1) gives us an upgrading amount of damage which gives Rogue a 2-mana Fireball once they have reached 10 mana crystals - kinda nuts. With Fireball being an important part of a Mage's arsenal, it is no surprise we'd want to run it in a Rogue deck at half the cost. It'll help us take out a larger annoying minion or we can use it for that sweet face damage to close out a game. Got two of them in your hand? That's a bigger face melter than the ones E.T.C. dish out.
Watch Post Rogue
New Rogue deck alert! How broken will it be?
If you've been paying attention to the meta so far you'll know how annoying Far Watch Post can be when played early so make sure you hard mulligan for it. Shadowstep on your Watch Posts can help save them if they've taken a little bit of damage but more importantly, it lets us build up for an ever bigger finish through Kargal Battlescar.
We've also got an essence of Miracle Rogue sitting in this deck, and honestly who can blame Rogues for running it, thanks to Field Contact which interacts with quite a few of our cards and will help us further oppress our opponent.
Weapon Rogue
Elefanti has had great success with Weapon Rogue, achieving Rank 1 Legend in Europe at the start of the season. Nicknamed Value, this deck is dead serious about it has some serious looking fun with Swinetusk Shank through poison synergies. What's not to love about a Weapon that sticks around the whole game while it gets increasingly buffed. Paralytic Poison is a true star, letting us go Immune to play a control game with our stabbies without touching our beautiful face.
Deadly Poison Paralytic Poison Nitroboost Poison Silverleaf Poison
Broken.

No miracle rogue? Scabbs was the top rated card of the set and none of these decks includes him D:
The meta rarely turns out exactly how the community predicts it to be. J Alex's miracle rogue deck is in that list though.
Well I wouldn't call the posted decks "the meta" just yet... Miracle rogue is pretty good, but it's too early to cling to any winrates so I won't say that any one rogue deck is better than the others. Besides, Scabbs is pretty versatile and can be useful in all of these decklists.
The meta rarely - like, barely ever - turns out like we predicted ^^
