Hearthstone Legendary Raptor Deathrattle Tempo Rogue LoE

[Guest bzzzt]

There's no tempo in this "tempo" deck. If ANYTHING goes wrong, if you don't draw perfectly, if you get boardcleared, if a priest mind controls your raptor. You lose the game, every time. Rogue worst class NA. At least they have arena.

I'm currently 8-0 in ranked play using only this deck. I've battled and won against a Hybrid Hunter, Midrange Hunter, Handlock, Zoolock, Aggro Druid, 2 Tempo Mages, and a Rogue with a weird deck. Out of the 8 times I used this deck, I only had a bad start once... and by bad start, I mean drawing only Raptors (both of them) without the Egg, but I was still able to draw Egg on turn 4 and win the game. And besides, you have a lot of cards that lets you draw in the early stages of the game - Thalnos, Loot Hoarder, Fan of Knives, etc. I don't think drawing is that much of a problem. I haven't battled against a Priest yet but yes, Shadow Madness IS a counter to this deck, as well as Mass Dispel. Oh, and I disagree with you on getting boardcleared. You have Deathrattles that can fill the board if ever you get boardcleared. If you suspect the enemy has a board clear then play a minion like Nerubian Egg. It's simple really.

Rivendare isn't good in this deck, this is a Tempo deck that wants to make the strongest board play each turn and Rivendare is the opposite of that.

 

I may not see all aspects as I'm not that experienced, but I'm curious why this card kills tempo. The way I see it, Rivendare is situational in a sense that you should be able to trigger something immediately when you put him on the board.

 

If you get a Haunted Creeper pop, you add 3/9 stats on the board for 4 mana; 5/11 with Nerubian Egg (not to mention Sylvanas which can be insane). Add to that the potential to duplicate additional rattle effects.

 

He also combos decently with Argus Defender and protects a low heath cold blood minion which I frequently get. Granted the latter is not the deck's idea, Rivendare does not seem to be totally wrong...  but I may miss something?

I absolutely love this deck, it has enough cheap removal to have a chance against aggro and the flood of sticky minions it puts out is a complete nightmare to control/combo decks that rely on board clears. This deck has really taught me how important it is to avoid triggering your deathrattles until the last possible moment.

 

 

 

Totally agree, it's great although I'm struggling against priest and I often end up with long games which I'm unable to close if Dr. Boom a BGH... which is like always

 

 

 

A tempo deck needs their cards to be individually powerful so that you can continue to make pressure plays on the board. Look at Raptor in this deck, it's a situational card, but it's perfectly fine if you just jam it on the board as a 3/4, similar thing with Flamewaker in Tempo Mage. A 4 Mana 1/7 is just too individually weak to be a reliable card, since you can't do anything with it unless you have an active synergy.

i really like this deck switched out thalnos for 1 copy of clockwork gnome. the spare parts are actually useful most of the time time rewind a si7 or argus can win you the game or you can get attack/taunt to trigger your eggs if you have no other means

Sir finlley mrrrglton is absolutly necesarry

I changed Thanatos to Brann Bronzebeard and result is quiet fine because of value of double battlecry from raptor/defender/azure drake and Boom.... such a combo is rly OP :-)

Hi Sottle, i just wanted to ask u this: between Piloted Sky golem and Sylvanas, which one do you prefer? And about BGH... is it goin to stay in the dek even after the nerf, or do u have any replacement to suggest/try? ^^

I think this is a pretty good example of this deck in action. I had to make a few of my own minor changes to the decklist but the concept and playstyle are all Sottle.
