It was love at first sight. I loved the OG Steal Priest back in the day and the crazy games that came with it. Ever since the introduction of the Burgle package for Rogue, it became my new favourite. Games are always different and you have to make do with what you get. I guess that is the Arena player in me.

Tess Greymane was the perfect card to make the archetype come together. You no longer had to be so reserved with the random cards you got, now you had a real late-game strategy. Sometimes playing the cards you got to prepare Tess in a specific way was your strategy and sometimes you had to not play a great removal like Hex or AOE like Brawl just so you wouldn't screw yourself in the long run. And sometimes you did just that and Tess combined with Shadowsteps gave you three Brawls and then some. It was a puzzle game on its own and I loved it.

Another great card that is one of the pillars of any Burgle Rogue deck which is leaving Standard is Blink Fox. Cute little rascal that provides a decent body to fight off aggro in the early game while advancing your overall strategy without losing any tempo. What more can you ask for? Please don't go! :(

This is the deck I have been running for most of the year.

With introduction of Bazaar Burglary, the Burgle Rogue got another "win condition", or rather a consistent removal tool, which helps such a deck a lot since you want to run as many card generators as possible - no need to "waste" card slots on your own removals. This helps with playing Burgle cards early not be such a hindrance, so you can plan your Tess play during midgame and often times being able to play her on curve with great success.

Some late additions with Descent of Dragons like Dragon's Hoard or Flik Skyshiv. Dragon's Hoard especially is great in this deck, it provides access to a really powerful pool of minions that you can then replay later with Tess. If you like your games to be unique and fun, this is a deck for you!
