#34 Legend – Greedy Tempo Rogue

A value, control oriented Rogue deck with a high rate win against Warrior compared to more common Rogue decks.  The “greedy” aspect of this deck is that it uses the unusual combination of Heistbaron Togwaggle, Chef Nomi, and Tess Greymane to create multiple win conditions depending on the opponent’s deck. 

Backstab, Sap, Edwin, EVIL Miscreant, Shadowstep, and lackeys generate early game survival. Spirit of the shark combined with EVIL miscreant and lackeys creates high tempo swings in the mid game.  Myra’s/Chef Nomi or Tess combined with Shadowstep are often the finishers for longer games.  

Discover cards like Hench-Clan Burglar and Ethereal Lackey generate flexible in-game options.  Hench-Clan Burglar and Blink Fox make it difficult for opponents to predict your next play, but both require a strong understanding of Tess and Myra’s mechanics.  (i.e. avoid direct damage and card draw unless absolutely needed).  

Against certain opponents like Warrior and Hunter that can take out stealth minions, only play Spirit of the Shark in combination with card draw like Ethereal Lackey, Blink Fox, Evil Miscreant, or Hench-Clan Burglar.  Spirit of the Shark combines well with other minions  in the deck like Underbelly Fence, Edwin, SI:7 Agent, Heistbaron Togwaggle, and Tess.  

Cards that can be substituted are Acidic Swamp Ooze and Sprint.
