Got a list? I want to play Raptogue but can't seem to find the sweet spot. Either my early game is consistent and I run out of gas against anything not hyper-aggro or I get unplayable opening hands without the option for Rogue's usual swing turnarounds.

it's something like this, can't look now.
1x Clockwork Gnome
2x SI7
2x Shredder
1x Edwin
1x Thalnos
1x Loot Hoarder
1x Belcher
1x Dr. Boom
1x Sprint
2x Oil
2x Blade Flurry
1x Deadly Poison
1x Sap
2x Backstab
2x Eviscerate
1x Jeweled Scarab
2x prep
1x Fan of Knives
2x Raptor
1x Azure Drake
1x haunted creeper
1x egg
I'm still testing, I want to have two creepers or two eggs but Azure Drake is very important too and I like clockwork gnome a lot. I'm not running any heals beside belcher, I don't find it necessary with this deck, it's more of a tempo deck, you should always have something to play unlike regular oil rogue that can pass turns quite often.

That's hilarious.
Control and Fatigue decks just cannot deal with deathrattle Rogue. Not only are your minions sticky but they are powerfully sticky. You're dropping a slew of mini-cairnes and highmane type stuff that even if you kill them you haven't reduced their power on the board. And taunts don't cleanly answer them either.
The midrange version definitely seems like it has similar matchups to Midrange Hunter. Aggro will beat you in a race. I haven't tried the control variant yet but I would guess that it exaggerates the matchups that midrange is already good at.

Personally, I don't think it is.
Just the sheer volume of sticky minions in this game makes it a headache to play.
Maybe somebody already asked about this in the thread, but is the fourth wing basically unlocking one you have the other the unlocked?
The wing doesn't day it unlocks on week 4, but after all wings are unlocked. It's still ambiguous, but I'm just curious if blitz has explained the wording choice.

Thanks for the answers, both you and BananawithGuns.
Rumbling Elemental is a really cool, it is a shame he doesnt get this little bonus. I guess crowd favourite works the same as well and only gets 1+1
Personally, I'm interested to see what the combination of Brann and murlocs can bring to Shaman.
Brann + Tidehunter = extra murloc
Brann + Mrrgglton = more chances at better hero power
Brann + Coldlight = 4 cards drawn aka 6-mana Sprint.
Brann + Neputon = 8 murloc cards
And of course, these all still work with Rumbling Elemental as Battlecrys. They also work with Knife Juggler.

With mrgglton you technically only get one choice. Because whatever you pick the first time will be overwritten by the second. You might even screw yourself by picking a good one and then being forced to pick a bad one.
It's hilarious in how stupid it is. Similar to how I laugh at MC and then at night I cry myself to sleep after bring annhialated by the god curve.

Doesn't Blizzard just voice their own games? It probably is Ben Brode! (Maybe)
Also, thanks for that picture. I keep wondering how many people are on that team.
don't waste dust on Anub'Arak, it still sucks :b
good luck getting raptor on it or for it to be useful in any match up except control warrior. All you need against warrior is assassin's blade and them not running Harrison which is the case right now. Just hit one with assassin's blade plus double oil, I bet he didn't see that coming as he Alex'd me previous turn lolz. then he lost.
For deathrattle rogue I feel you need make a tempo deck with burst which obviously doesn't involve an extremely slow 9 drop. It's same idea as midrange druid, hard to remove minions with combo finisher. Control rogue might be fun but I think it will be worse than this style.

I was lucky enough to get him in one of my TGT release packs, so I've been trying to make control rogue work with him ever since, and I still can't do it. I'd be happy if i could just get him to survive long enough to attack face once, but he is incredibly slow and the opponent always has an answer to him with mana to spare which will make you lose even if you have a decent lead.
Maybe it's time to try him in mill rogue.

So i haven't been playing ladder a lot and i ran into a fatigue warrior with what i thought was a standard TGT list, i was CW. The match went to fatigue and i was sure i won because i had more health and armor except he was holding his very last card and for like 10 turns in row and i couldn't figure out what it was........then he played reno jackson and i lost. So guys i think that reno jackson might be good in warrior, just saying

well, yeah. In Fatigue wars the one with Reno Jackson will win.

So, I got like 300 extra coins for some reason, but I didn't see what I accomplished to get this. Any ideas?
1000 wins
Haha at only playing one Reno. You can't win that way.
BTW, I'm 1-0 with my new and improved overload shaman. New meta boys and girls!
More like in fatigue wars, the deck that's actually designed to win fatigue wars will win...

Ugh, control warrior hit a Reno jackpot, I was actually thinking I could still win as we headed towards fatigue and then he plays a deathwing 
Next game a Warlock plays Bronn, then a dark peddler to discover 2 cards and then 2 flame imps........and hits himself in the face for 12 damage and concedes lol

I think my favorite part is how non-chalantly he reacts to the opponent's Reno and Alexstrasza

"The goal is not to actually win the game...
It's to keep him for ever thinking it's a good idea to play Freeze Mage again."
Basically what all the Control Warrior players think. Even if they lose against the Druids and Paladin... if they can keep the Freeze Mages at bay they do are fine.

That's what I thought at first because it sounded so much like him.

Reincarnate shaman beats it. Once you earth shock an egg, there really isn't much else to it.
If they try to drop a sylvanas type combo? You will just steal it or hex.
Unfortunately reincarnate shaman still needs to be teched as anti-aggro, because fuck hearthstone. But even then it has all the answers.
There are many answers you can make to that Rogue deck. You can just play a faster aggro game than it and you will win.
You can play a counter Priest deck with Shadow Madnesses and Cabal. Steal all of his stuff and gain the deathrattle bonuses. Use Mass Dispel even. Of course this deck would lose to pretty much everything else.
Kripp on Raptor Rogue:
"This is the type of deck that once refined people who have no clue how to play Hearthstone will be able to get Legend with." LMAO!

Basically stuff like this is why it's hard to play non tempo decks and hard to play anti-meta decks.

Haven't played this for at least a couple of weeks because a) Fallout 4 and then before that b) no Internet. I guess I should pick up the new adventure (if only because everyone else probably already has and I imagine there's already some essential card that's in it that everyone's going to be using, isn't that the way it usually goes). It'll have to wait till payday next week though.

Kripp knows a bit about people having no clue hitting legend
Can't be worse than face hunter though tbh. Also I really doubt that. Rogue isn't an easy class to master.

Paladin needs to be nerfed to the fucking ground. Fuck that class.
Tack on making Face Hunters cry and you've got me.
Well, that's two LoE Warlock cards that are being used successfully. Let's make it a three-peat and watch Curse be used to counter Freeze Mages.
I doubt Reliquary Seeker zoo is any better than old zoo.
Besides, it can't be any more cancerous that Secret Paladin, so I say bring it on.

Been playing a lot of meta decks just to see what I like best and I gotta say Oil Rouge and Demon/Handlock probably my two favorites.
What I did was made multiple accounts and just dust every single card and craft for one and only one class so I can get as close to the actual deck as possible.
Not a huge fan of Druid some games I feel like it's not even fair for the other guy and others I feel like it's impossible for me to win. Just one of those class I guess.... at least with my Mid Range Paladin I can pin point a misplay or it has to be really really really bad draws/RNG for me to say "okay that game was impossible." I must say though FON/SR combo is pretty lulz. Makes it even more lulz if you get a tick or two of Emperor or have any board presence.

His stream is hilarious, he's drunk and made it to top 5 Legend with that deck.
