What to craft for Secret Rogue?

Submitted 4 years, 7 months ago by

Hello y'all,

I really like to play rogue, and I really like value and control(which doesn't really fit, I know). Sadly I didn't open any  legendaries or epics for rogue this expansion, but after playing against Secret Rogue a few times, I really want to craft a deck with the secret packages. Any recomendations or decklists?

Do I need 2 Bamboozle?  I do have 3600 Dust and as classlegendaries: Flik Skyshiv, Waxadred and Bazaar Burglary, as well as full common and rare for standard.

    One bamboozle is fine, many recommend it, actually. If you're building a Galakrond deck, I'd suggest your priority order for crafting legendaries is:

    Kronx Dragonhoof

    Heistbaron Togwaggle 

    Shadowjeweler Hanar

    Edwin VanCleef

    It's an expensive deck but loads of fun. I crafted it last week. No regrets!

     

    May all your legendaries be golden.

    I do actually own Kronx Dragonhoof, but I didn't want to spend all the dust I have and then some for one deck, so I'd like a more budget-y option, if someone has good experiences.

    Highly recommend crafting the secret rogue package. A very fun deck that plays different depending on the match up. You also get to make a lot of choices in the tools you discover which I like. The polar opposite of something like Demon hunter, for example, which only has one way to play and very little choices to make throughout any match.

    Yeah as Majere said you only need one Bamboozle. I agree with his order of legendaries as well so I'd craft Heistbaron Togwaggle and Shadowjeweler Hanar.

    I got legend with Highlander Rogue, and I personally liked the stealth package more than the secrets package:

    Shadowjeweler Hanar is imo the best Legendary of this Xpac. It's everything that you'd want from a Rogue Legendary: versatile and fun!

    If you really wanna build a Secret-Rogue, I'd suggest to put in a Galakrond Package and to craft at least 1 Togwaggle's Scheme. Shuffling 5 or more Hanars usually crushes every slow Deck.

    Edwin VanCleef is a good Card, but if you're on a Budget, I'd say Heistbaron Togwaggle has a higher Priority, followed up by Flik Skyshiv

    He already has Flik. 

    Hanar is so vital to the archetype that it really isn’t worth playing without him. I’d save myself some dust and not craft Bamboozle at all if you have to. The whole point of Hanar is to diversify the secret pool so that your opponent doesn’t know what you’re playing, or so that you can fish for something like Counterspell to play at the right moment. (Turn 9 Highlander Priest with Mass Rez or Plague of Death nullified?) It leads to a surprising number of autoconcedes. 

    If you’re serious about running secrets, start with Hanar, then Togwaggle. Love Edwin to death, but he isn’t essential.

    I'd suggest crafting Shadowjeweler Hanar ASAP so you can play with it before it ends up getting nerfed. That card will win you so many games when it just snowballs the early game.

    Shadowjeweler Hanar and Heistbaron Togwaggle are probably the most important legendaries you need to play secret galakrond rogue to any successful degree.

    Kronx and Edwin are strong, but not core. Ive done well without Kronx and will continue to do well without him. You should probably craft Edwin VanCleef anyway, he's nearly an auto include in all rogue decks and there's always a chance that he gets HoF every year so your investment in dust may not be all wasted.

    Nerfed? I don't think so. The card is powerful, but the deck's winrate is not so high as to deserve a nerf.

    The pleasure is mine.

    My last standard decks: nothing special right now.

    Damn, that’s a tough choice...

    The problem here is, that Rogue generally wins with crazy value/tempo turns (Depending on the matchup), all relying on cited legendaries. If you miss one, you basicly have one less wincondition in your deck.

    Edwin is and has allways been a staple in rogue. Long term he is the way to go. In this specific deck, he is less impactfull than the others.

    Hanar is essential to the archtype and one of the main reasons you would play this deck. A nice bonus, the secret package won‘t rotate for 2 years. But the moment, something stronger than secrets comes out, Hanar is a dead card.

    Kronx is half of the Galakrond-Power. Feels bad to play Galakrond without him. 

    Toggwaggle is THE card against everything that isn‘t DH or face hunter. The wand simply wins games. He rotates next year though (i wouldn’t factor that in

    I think it comes down to personal preference..

    A 2 mana 1/5 that can snowball the entire game isn't nerf worthy? Too many classes have no way to remove a 5 health minion on turn 2. 
    Winrate of the deck has nothing to do with it. It's not fun to lose a game on turn 2 just because you have no answer to a 1/5 minion.
