Early on, you want to get rid of any big threat your enemy will be playing or cycle through the deck to get an efficient removal. Priest being one of the most played class in this Tavern Brawl, Shadowstep is essential as it will protect your Blade of C'Thun from Entomb.
For this week’s Tavern Brawl, I’ve tried a few deck but the most fun and effective so far was this one.
It combines the power of the Mill Rogue Archetype and Blade of C'Thun + C'Thun as a finisher.
As most players are playing huge minions this deck has 7 big removal, 2 Blade of C'Thun, 2 Assassinate, 2 Shadow Strike and one Big Game Hunter but also it features a lot of awesome combos that can allow you to recycle your most important cards.
For exemple, you can use Shadowcaster or Shadowstep to use Blade of C'Thun a second time. Another combo, play Sylvanas Windrunner and destroy it with Shadow Strike to take control of an enemy minion. If you fall a little bit behind, you can use Vanish and Coldlight Oracle to get the milling mechanic going.
You can also steal your enemy’s minion using Gang Up and then sap it or destroy it using one of your removal. I think this deck is stronger than the Miracle Rogue because it creates more Value, and drawing many cards in this Tavern Brawl is not so important as you’re always playing huge minions.
Finally, I’ll add what a pleasure it is to play Mill Rogue effectively thanks to this Tavern Brawl.
