65% win rate to rank 5! Easy to play! I don't play enough to hit legend, but this month I may give it a shot! I have switched to full time rogue. It was my favorite class in World of Warcraft and I may as well play it in Hearthstone too. Problem was I could not find a truly enjoyable Rogue deck in wild, until now!



The water + pirate package is absolutely lethal, and made better in Ungoro with Vilespine Slayer (huge momentum card, best addition to Rogue class in a long time) and Razorpetal Lasher. With the deck max out at 5 mana, it is pretty consistent! Swashburglar and Undercity Huckster also add some random card draw from opponent's class, to make the games more fun and interactive.



Mulligan



Look for Finja, Ship's Cannon, Backstab, and your 2-3 cost minions.



Never hold any other Murloc card in opening hand.



Early Game



Control board with simple combos like:



a) Ship Cannon + Pirate (always try to play these together!)

b) Backstab + S7 Agent

c) Coin + Backstab + Edwin



Mid-Game



Set up kills with simple combos that do 10-15 damage like



a) LeeRoy + Cold Blood

b) LeeRoy + Shadowstep + LeeRoy

c) Finja kill + summon more murloc from hand

d) Combo into cold blood + eviscerate's



Late-Game



Shadowstep + Vilespine Slayer can kill off high threat enemies and get you an opening for a kill. This is of course not a control deck, so you should take the chance and go face.



Possible Upgrade



Shaku the Collector is better vs Control, because it is a card the opponent must contest. Undercity Huckster is a great budget alternative and stronger vs aggro however.
