Hearthstone: The Rogue Guide

The rogue class in Hearthstone is insidious and deadly. You can find out how to play the villain correctly in this guide. We show you how to lead your villain deck to victory with basic cards.

The villain in Hearthstone: Secret assassination

The villain's strategy is based on his strong magic cards. With "Assassination", "Sinister Strike", "Dagger Fan" and "Assassination" you can kill enemy servants without having your own on the field. You then have free rein with your servants on the opponent's life points. With the hero ability "Dagger Mastery", the villain puts on a dagger that can also damage the opponent. With the "Deadly Poison" spell, you can equip this weapon with 2 additional attack points. The following cards should therefore not be missing in any rogue deck:

• "Assassination": "Inflicts 2 damage to an uninjured servant."
• "Sinister Strike": "Inflicts 3 damage to the enemy hero."
• "Dagger Fan": "Inflicts 1 damage to all enemy servants. Draws a card."
• "Assassination": "Destroy an enemy servant."
• "Deadly Poison": "Your weapon gains +2 attack."

Defense and replenishment of cards

In order to draw your magic cards in time, a good supply of cards is recommended. You can get this with "Sprinting", "Engineering Apprentice" and "Dagger Fan". You also need a certain amount of defense to ward off enemy attacks. In addition to the basic cards "Schildmeista von Sen'jin", "Herr der Arena" and "Fußsoldat von Goldhain", cards such as "Sturmlanzenkommando" or "Blutelfenklerikerin" are also recommended. So you have a solid defense and servants who support the defense. With the magic cards presented, you first destroy the enemy servants and then attack the enemy with your defense. You should therefore also have the following cards in your deck:

• "Sprint": "Draw 4 cards."
• "Engineer Apprentice" (1/2): "Battle Cry: Draw a card."
• "Lord of the Arena" (6/5): "ridicule"
• "Stormpike Command" (4/2): "Battlecry: Deals 2 damage."
• "Blood Elf Cleric" (3/3): "Battlecry: Gives + 1 / + 1 to a friendly servant."

This guide is only intended as a guide. Nevertheless, the magic cards like "Assassination" are indispensable for a good rogue deck. If the villain is not that much fun anymore, give the shaman a try.
