Mulligans
General Mulligans
You want a 1 cost minion and keleseth most of the time, 3 and 4 drop may come by themselves, so you can alway mulligan for it. Depending on the match you can or not keep marin the fox in your oppening hand.
Aggro Mulligans
Your highhealth minions and hero power are very useful to stop early aggro matches, but careful as your taunts are very limited.
Midrange Mulligans
In a fight for board youre suppossed to win, but if you loose the board you will hardly recover it.
Combo Mulligans
The deck curve means there will be no problems to combo decks, but you may end up not closing the game fast, always careful on value trades and be aware of AoEs.
Control Mulligans
Pretty hard matchup as your opponent will eventually outvalue you. You have a chance if your opponents deck is based on high health taunts and big minions as your poisons can make the game.
Notes: Despite this precise deck not being a dominant tier 1 deck (not even 2 or 3), poisonus rogue is a deck that i found so interesting a may have really good potencial. Also (rather the main reason) is a very thematic deck as the deck relies on poisons and stealths. As i said ive found this version to be good, but not that good for ranking up. This deck could still improve with future card or with tweaks that ive not found yet. Still i managed to win to meta decks and even stomping some games.
This deck is very minions based so basically it depends of board control and minion sinergies.
Sinergies:
Prince Keleseth: Theres not a reason to not play keleseth in a rogue deck at the moment. Also as you can see most of the deck are minions and a lot of them have an ability (Poisonus, Divine Shield, Taunt).
Deathspeaker: This is a card you want to keep on hand as its battlecrie can make a very decent trade if used on a poisonus minion (or one with high attack). Still playing it at tempo wont break the game for you, as he have decent stats, and his high health makes it a good candidate for Plague Scientist.
1-Cost minions: Argent Squire and Dire Mole are pretty common 1-cost minions, but they also are very good candidates for Plague Scientist. Worgen Infiltrator: there is some cases in wich is the same to have a Backstab, but ive ended chosing the first to give value to a tempo Deathspeaker.
Mindbreaker : With that many decks that relies on an upgraded or cost reduced hero power (Even, Odd or DK) this card can be game making. If your opponent has a weaker hero power you can save it for later (as rogue hero power loses impact as the game goes on), otherwise hes a very strong turn 3. His high health makes him another good candidate for Plague Scientist, beneficiates from the same minion prottections the deck has (mainly for protecting the poisonus minions).
Sunborne Val'kyr: Adding two health to a poisonus minion gives you the chance to make favorable trades letting your minion stick in the battleground to your opponents displeasure, making him spending an additional card in order to clear it.
Master of Disguise: Decent stats and cant prevent a specific minion being removed by certain ways letting you to use it on your next turn (or just adding that minion an extra turn of life). That said where this card really shines is by playing it turn 4 on a turn 3 minion (mainly the cobra) to finish with a turn 5 Sunborne Val'kyr.
Elven Minstrel: Given the cards low cost you will be getting out of cards relatively fast, and elven minstrel is a card that proved to work well after Prince Keleseth.
Cursed Castaway: Her deathrattle is very useful to this deck as it can provide a Plague Scientist or the moment you need, and sometimes drawing Elven Minstrel is also good. Its rush mechanic means she can protect your other minions and also has instant impact from keleseth’s buff.
Sprint: As i said with elven minstrel having extra draw is very necesary for this deck. Its better to use it when you know your opponent is preparing for an AoE spell turn. I feel that 1 copy is more than enough, but still a version with double Sprint and spieful summoner can work, as this deck may lack from finishers.
Marin the Fox: His battlecry sinergises really really well with poisonus minions as there will be a moment when they wont have nothing better to attack, and they dont provide that much face damage anyways. Its loot card can actually close a game by itself. Golden Kobold is a very strong card and sinergises very well with Sprint. Wondrous Wand is very dependant of the cards it draws, but still is a very strong tempo swing. Zarog's Crown: Another strong one, just choose the best minion. Tolin's Goblet: Maybe the worst one, wathever it draws can be very useless in a late game; still filling your hand means a lot of value.
Wich are the downsides of this deck?:
-Like most of rogue decks it doesnt have class taunts or healings, so every face damage hurts.
-Asside from Board control or Marin the Fox loot cards this deck doesnt have a proper finisher.
-Maybe more ofc.
Extra card you can try (that i think can sinergise well):
Backstab or Southsea Deckhand instead ofWorgen Infiltrator
Tar Creeper Spiteful Summoner Cold Blood Leeroy JenkinsThat said and the olnly high dust cost card being Prince Keleseth (wich almost everyone have by the time) you can always try deck deck nearly for free.
