It’s a secret to everyone.

The Rogue class' Secret synergies remain super strong, and although this archetype hasn’t received a huge amount of fancy new gear in Scholomance Academy, it’s solid enough as is thanks to the likes ofShadowjeweler Hanarand the tempo tools available to the class.

WithJandice Barov,Shadowjeweler Hanar, andZephrys the Greatamongst others, this isn’t the cheapest deck to build from scratch but if you happen to have the cards then go for it!

General strategy

Focus on making the most of your Secret synergies, and try to trick your opponent into playing their activators.

Early game:This deck plays pretty much on-curve to begin with.Pharaoh Catwill give you a free Reborn minion to keep contesting the board, andFoxy Fraudcan help you discount Combo cards likeSwindleandEviscerate.

If you getShadowjeweler Hanarto stick on the board, get some Secrets played as soon as possible.Ambushis a great early one to get stats on the board, and Hanar will give you a Secret from another class with every Secret you play. You’ll be able to Discover the Secret too, so choose based on the enemy’s playstyle.

Mid game:EVIL Miscreantand all your mid-game Lackey generating cards should keep you from running out of resources as well, so give this a shot whenever you get the chance. You always have the opportunity in the mid-game to build an absolutely giantEdwin VanCleeftoo, which can lead to a swift victory if the enemy can’t deal with it.

Just keep playing on curve, getting Secrets out there whenever possible and if you can, pop off a bit with Hanar. Drawing out your deck as much as possible is essential here, and feel free to chuck down aQuesting Adventurerdown to grow it in size with cheapo spells.

Secret Rogue tips, combos and synergies

Here’s a few combos and interactions to look out for with Secret Rogue.

-Eviscerateis a great finishing move, but remember to activate its Combo first.

  • UseSecret Passageto draw out 4 cards for a single turn, and play them if at all possible.

-Zephrys the Greatcan be used as a game ender in many situations, so keep an eye out. Got a board of minions ready to attack? MaybeSavage Roaris the finisher you need!

  • Each game will play out differently thanks to your differingShadowjeweler Hanarpulls. Remember that each Secret you Discover also triggers the Minion’s effect though.

  • You can only have up to 5 Secrets in play at once.

  • Force the enemy’s big minions back into their hand withBlackjack Stunner, but don’t do this to powerful Battlecry effects if you can avoid it.

  • The classes you can discover Secrets from are Paladin, Hunter, and Mage. The Paladin class' Secrets cost 1 mana, Hunter’s cost 2, and Mage’s cost 3.
