Academic espionage deck1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() What do you know, getting 20 of their cards for 1 mana will make that strategy a lot more difficult! The crux of this archetype is the two copies of Academic Espionage and the copious amounts of draw – just go ahead and drown your opponents in all the value. Miracle Rogue has already been good against slower opponents, but some of the grindiest Control archetypes were able to gain enough Armor and remove all your threats in the long run. This is where the archetype really shines. Still, if all else fails, Myra's Unstable Element and Tess Greymane could serve as decent Hail Mary plays in these matchups, but you’ll likely be under too much pressure to pull off your thief combos. Consequently, this build doesn’t really have the option to just give up the board and go in for the kill, meaning favorable trades are at a premium with Thief Rogue. This has never been an easy task for combo-oriented Rogue archetypes, especially if you don’t run the burn cards to punish them on the backswing. ![]() You’ll have to keep up on the board until either your opponent’s cheap cards, Vilespine Slayer or Fal’dorei Strider’s spiders can swing it back your way. Edwin VanCleef – Speaking of power plays, early Edwins can literally win you tournaments.Vilespine Slayer – Against decks with large mid-game minion threats, you might want to hold on to either this card or Sap to make sure you don’t get blown out by a power play.We’ve all dreamt of one-mana Death Knights and Ultimate Infestations at some point: now you can make that a reality on turn two. Academic Espionage – If you’ve also got Preparation in hand, and you’re interested in some extreme variance, shuffling in those ten cheap cards on the first turn can certainly get you some free wins.Fire Fly – Once again, it’s your only real way to get on the board early, and, more importantly in these matchups, they are excellent combo activators as well.Hench-Clan Thug – The same story as in aggro matchups, though *terms and conditions may apply.Even if this is the first minion you play in the game, control decks can’t really punish you for skipping the first three turns. Fal'dorei Strider – Since you’ve got a lot of time to work with, setting up your free 4/4 spiders early on should be your primary goal.Fan of Knives – It’s especially great against Odd Paladin’s endless stream of 1/1 dudes, but if you’ve got one or two of the other desirable keeps, this mini-AoE is very effective against other aggressive decks as well.Edwin VanCleef – If you’re on the coin or otherwise have a hand for a powerful early Edwin, it can be a game-winning all-in play in most matchups.Fal'dorei Strider – If you have your early game secured, this is the single best play on curve – but its lack of initiative means that you should not rely on it on its own as its payoff takes a while to arrive.SI:7 Agent – If you’re on the coin or can otherwise trigger this on the third or fourth turn, it’s a great way to keep away the hordes of aggro, but it’s otherwise a 3 mana 3/3 in your opening hand that generally isn’t enough to keep up on tempo.Lower Priority (Keep only if certain conditions are met) Hench-Clan Thug – As we’ve all experienced when we were on the wrong side of the table, a 3 mana 4/4* with additional growth potential is sometimes game-winning on its own.Backstab – 2 damage for 0 mana is a very important tempo swing and/or combo activator in the early game when you’re fighting for the board against aggressive opponents. ![]() Fire Fly – This is essentially your only tool to contest the board on the first turn, and is always your desired turn 1 play with this deck.Resources Fireside Gatherings Related Subreddits Chat (Discord) Sticky Threads & Guides Community Sites Tools Icons made by Daniel Bruce, Freepik, Icomoon, Icon Works, and Bogdan Rosu from are licensed by CC BY 3.0.Thief Rogue Mulligan Strategy & Guide VS Fast Decks ![]() Nayarasylvestre 74 viewers VEM DE CARNAYVAL Official Hearthstone Links Xeno_wild 113 viewers Último día de season, Día de Andalucía y yo con estos pelos.
