I'm finally at the point where I'm starting to not hate this game!

Currently running a mech rogue build, really enjoying it.

Backstab x2
Cold Blood x2
Conceal x1
Deadly Poison x2
Clockwork Gnome x1
Cogmaster x1
Blade Flurry x2
Eviscerate x2
Sap x2
Annoy-o-tron x1
Goblin Auto-Barber x1
Mechwarper x2
Sunfury Protector x1
Iron Sensei x1
Tinkertown Technician x2
Tinker's Sharpsword Oil x2
Jeeves x1
Assassin's Blade x1
Antique Healbot x1
Fel Reaver x1
Sprint x1

I usually hard mulligan for Mechwarper/Iron Sensei or Annoy-o-Tron/Cold Blood. Early-Mid game I protect Iron Sensei with Annoy-o-Tron or Sunfury while it buffs up [Mechwarper/Barber/Jeeves] and hit lots of face while controlling the board with spells and weapons. Wincon is Fel Reaver by usually turn 7, assuming I've gotten enough of a lead early game.

Keep in mind I've only been playing for ~3-4 weeks, rank 20 (although haven't played ranked in quite a while) and a very limited collection. Thoughts?

Also I just crafted the two oils and the extra bade flurry, haven't yet tested this exact decklist.

The Bulge · Post Post #3016 (isolation #4) » Fri Dec 18, 2015 12:09 am

Yea I removed assblade. Now running...

Backstab x2
Cold Blood x2
Deadly Poison x2
Clockwork Gnome x1
Cogmaster x2
Blade Flurry x2
Eviscerate x2
Annoy-o-Tron x2
Goblin Auto-Barber x2
Mechwarper x2
Iron Sensei x1
Tinkertown Technician x2
Tinker's Sharpsword Oil x2
Jeeves x1
Piloted Shredder x2
Clockwork Knight x2
Fel Reaver x1

With so far positive results. Thanks for the tips panzer and MTD!

EDIT: climbed from 20 to 15 and 4 stars with this deck this morning

I've been running mostly mech mage, and I just built a raptor rogue deck that is tonnes of fun.

Almost enough dust for Dr 7 weeeee

pretty standard warlock otk. void terror in case I miss lethal with the combo, gadgetzan in times of desperation if i don't have a faceless in hand. could probably use some mass removal but it's been pretty reliable so far.

Tip: run Void Terror in this week's brawl

The Bulge · Wed Feb 24, 2016 12:00 pm

Was originally running demon zoo, eventually evolved into a pretty reliable void terror-based deck (with lots of otk potential!)

Ancient of Lore nerf is ok but a little unnecessary I think given how much Druid is getting nerfed.
Force of Nature is still playable and still fits with the Druid theme. Making the Savage Roar combo a 2-turn thing is imo a very smart way of fixing it.
I've always thought 4 health was too much for Keeper, although I agree with BRO that 3 would have been ok.
Nothing much to say about owl or bgh but I like it.
Fuck the Blade Flurry nerf tho what the fuck. Either take away the face damage or up the cost by 1(?), it's so god awful now. I would love to see a combo effect added in the future that does damage to face as well because then it would still be good with prep.
Knife Juggler nerf is exactly how I would have done it. The only way I could see them changing the effect is summon->play which would be shitty so I'm glad they went for the stat nerf instead.

I used to netdeck most decks and modify them after playing, but lately I've been adamant about not netdecking. Same with arena, I used to use heartharena but I find it so much more fun to not have any outside help.

The Bulge · Post Post #3653 (isolation #28) » Tue May 03, 2016 9:00 am

If you plan on running C'thun, craft Twin Emperor for sure. I've also had tonnes of fun with Nzoth Paly but it's pretty expensive if you don't already have a lot of classic legends (tirion, sylv, and cairne)

The Bulge · Post Post #3654 (isolation #29) » Tue May 03, 2016 9:01 am

^ other expensive crafts include forbidden heal x2 and rag lightlord

Also TIL most people don't get above rank 18. Makes me feel better about my rank (currently 18, best this season is 16).
For the sake of learning, I'd recommend using HearthArena.com for a few drafts to get a feel for what types of cards are generally valuable

Also this. Heartharena got me to the point where I was comfortable drafting my own decks and brought my avg wins from ~2 to ~6.

The Bulge · Post Post #3743 (isolation #33) » Wed Jun 01, 2016 4:29 am

Paladin just has so many top tier picks its ridiculous. And it's easy to get a good mage draft because a lot of the burn spells fulfill the same role. My problem with rogue is that I'm pretty bad at health management with daggers.

The Bulge · Wed Jun 01, 2016 10:13 am

You use it simultaneously with an actual draft. Input the picks you got, and it will tell you the best one to pick.

Just hit rank 2 with my tempo mage! My previous best end of season was 5 in july (with a netdecked Dragon warrior), so I'm pretty ecstatic! Honestly the game is a lot more enjoyable at higher ranks. Every decision feels waaay more important, and I don't rely so much on my opponent misplaying to win.

I always prefer control decktypes over aggro, but not having patches reeeeally limits what i can play in a meta where every single remotely aggressive deck runs the pirate package. I miss miracle :'(

Pretty crazy that the reason tempo mage is dead is probably cuz it cant really run pirates eh? Honestly cheeses me

The Bulge · Post Post #4118 (isolation #50) » Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:53 pm

It's just that it can't compete against other aggro decks unless you get all perfect draws (double wyrm, mirror images, a big flamewaker turn before turn 5 etc). I mean its still tier 3 or 4 but you really cant be a top tier aggro deck rn without making good use of early pirates. Theres just nothing that is as effective and consistent.

Havent been playing much lately, but I played a couple ladder games earlier this evening just after midnight. Played miracle rogue and my stb was definitely at 2 health. But i just checked the subreddit and it looks like the nerfs should be live already from the way peiple are talking about it. Am i missing something or am I just misunderstanding?
