Secret Stealth Rogue deck list guide - Ashes of Outland - Hearthstone (April 2020)Sneaky bois.

Sneaky bois.

Stealth Rogue takes advantage of the class’ brand new Stealth synergies brought about in the Ashes ofOutlandexpansion. From buffs to card draw, this deck has it all. We’ve gone for a reasonably aggressive tempo style of play here, and you’ll be looking to finish the match pretty quickly if things go according to plan.

Of course, Stealth’s main benefit is your opponent not being able to target the minion with either their own minions or spells until Stealth ends. Take advantage of this, and ensure you’re maximising your damage output. Sometimes it’s best to save an attack for later and remain in stealth.

General strategy

Stealth Rogue has a lot going on early game - try to take advantage.

That’s just one of the many potential early game plays you can pull off.Worgen Infiltratoris obviously a worse version ofSpymistress, but its Stealth makes it just as worth playing. Keep playing minions on tempo when possible -SkyvateerandHench-Clan Sneakall follow on from one another mana-wise so you could always end up with a fantastic amount of hidden minions ready to deal chunky damage.

Early on, many control decks will plonk a Taunt or two in your way, so it’s often acceptable to useSaporEviscerateon them to ensure your minions can go face. You want to put the enemy under pressure early, so hitting their health total is super vital as soon as possible.

Mid game:GetAkamaplayed if you can - you wantAkamaPrime shuffled into your deck as quickly as possible.Greyheart Sageis a great way to help you refuel a bit if you’ve played all your cards out - just make sure you have a Stealthed minion to trigger this effect.Hooked ScimitarandWaggle Pickshould be swung at every opportunity possible too - you want to be directing this damage to the enemy Hero if at all possible.

Of course, trading is important. Your Hero’s health is often less vital though, so use your weapons and keep your minions alive whenever possible. Going face is, as always, the most important thing though.

Late game:Your highest cost minions are 6 mana, so you’ll want to be ending the game pretty quickly from here.AkamaPrime is an outrageously strong minion, giving you 6 attack on board and a permanent Stealth effect, meaning your enemy can’t ever target it.

Stealth Rogue tips, combos and synergies

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

-Ashtongue Slayerscales very well later on in the game as well. It’s always usable withAkamaPrime, since that minion never loses its Stealth ability, even when it attacks.

-Greyheart Sageis an amazing card - a 3 mana 3/3 that draws you 2 cards. Remember though, you have to control a Stealthed minion for this Battlecry to trigger. The card will be highlighted in yellow if it will work, in case you’re unsure.

-Skyvateeris pretty weak at only 1 attack, but buff it withAshtongue SlayerorCold Bloodand you’ve got a frightening minion with a pretty useful Deathrattle.

-Waggle Pickis best used alongside Battlecry minions, rather than buffed ones, It’ll let you benefit from the likes ofFlik SkyshivandGreyheart Sageagain if you manage to pull them back to your hand.

  • Don’t forget thatBurrowing Scorpid’s Battlecry can target the enemy Hero. It’s only 2 damage, but if you’re looking for that last bit of reach, this can get you over the line.

  • You’re weak to AOE effects, so try to finish off the enemy before they can cast spells likeFlamestrikeandChaos Nova.
