Quest Rogue

Quest Rogue

This is my version of Quest Rogue, with the cards that I currently have without spending my life savings.

Obviously the plan is to complete your quest by playing cards like Blink Fox, Pilfer, Clever Disguise, Hench-Clan Burglar, Bazaar Mugger, and sometimes Pharaoh Cat. 

A good tip for completing the quest when your draw RNG is terrible: use Shadowsteps to re-play the above minions for extra Battlecry effects. 

Of course this deck can be shifted around a little bit to include cards like Edwin VanCleef and Tess Greymane. 

Zilliax and Siamat are in the deck for sustainability, healing, and/or removal options, but are not required pieces. 

After having completed Bazaar Burglary, your hero power Ancient Blades becomes an almost must each turn, since you get 3 damage and immunity. 

Two cards that are best to replace if you so choose would be EVIL Cable Rat and Hench-Clan Thug; both of which are in the deck for utility and early game options. 

Alternate versions of Quest Rogue I've seen have included Blade Flurry, but it seems too clunky for me; especially if you draw it in the early game before you've completed your quest. Playing a quest on turn 1 already sets you behind on tempo and behind one card, so having a borderline unplayable card in your hand for multiple turns is basically suicide. 

One of the most common mistakes I see when people play variations of Rogue decks with thief elements is the misuse of Vendetta. Everyone wants that sweet 0-mana deal 4 damage to a minion, but sometimes it is best to bite the bullet and pay the 4 mana if you don't have a card from another class in your hand. 

Leeroy Jenkins is in the deck solely because he is a classic Rogue finisher, and also is not a critical piece of the deck; but strongly recommended. 

Recommended cards to keep in-hand: Bazaar Burglary, Backstab, Pharaoh Cat, Pilfer, Clever Disguise, Underbelly Fence. If you're ballsy, keep EVIL Cable Rat for tempo. You can also choose to keep Vendetta, but this is only recommended if you have a card to combo with it. 

Basically, this deck is Thief Rogue with Tempo Rogue cards and a quest. Just keep removing the opponent's board and stay ahead on tempo.
