Invincible Rogue

EDIT (12/8) – Just hit legend with this deck and made a new decklist with slight changes and a new writeup. You can find it here: Invincible Rogue v2

Haven’t played in a couple expansions, so I only had 6 stars, but I cruised to platinum with a 72% winrate with this deck.  And I’ve had a ton of fun playing it. An earlier version had two copies of Abominable Lieutenant, but I took those out and this version is much better.

The goal is play Scourge Illusionist as early as possible, ideally with Sketchy Information, which gets you a discounted Masked Reveler or Invincible. Reveler and Illusionist can copy each other, which gives you a steady supply of 2 mana 4/4 rushers. We win games by copying Invincible’s deathrattle multiple times with Forsaken Lieutenant, Reveler, or Illusionist. 

Once you stick two Invincibles, the opponent is screwed if they don’t have a silence effect. Killing one just buffs the other. The Invincible deathrattle is just goofy with Snowfall Graveyard. I’ve had multiple games where I swung for lethal with a 15+ power minion around turn 6. One time it was like 30 power on turn 7. 

I was originally running Abominable Lieutenant because I was worried about having enough targets for Invincible. But that has not been a problem at all. Everything the Reveler can pull is undead so I have not run into a situation where I have an Invincible in hand but can’t play it.

I don’t have a copy of Shadow of Demise, but I imagine it belongs in this deck, since it is mostly spells.

So far the big weakness is burn. Frost DK is tough if you draw Invincible, because then you can’t build your lethal-threatening board until turn 8, by which point they can just burn you out. I haven’t run into the Shockspitter hunter deck yet, somehow, but I have to assume that is a very bad matchup.

Control matchups have felt really good, but people don’t seem to be running mass silence yet. I fear the starfish.
