You can also stall one more turn with Valeera the Hollow. That’s why, when playing against Aggro, your goal is to survive and draw key cards. It also deals with all the buffs that might have been applied to the minions, like Blessing of Kings.Īggro decks usually have more refill than you can handle with a “normal” hand. Not only you usually buy an extra turn, but your opponent might not be able to replay everything back into the board. While it’s not a board clear, it lets you reset the board state completely. That’s where other cards like Vanish come handy. In the early game, your Hero Power and Backstab should be good enough, but that’s definitely not enough for the mid/late game. However, the game doesn’t always go your way and you often don’t get either Kingsbane or buffs and you need to improvise.Īgainst Aggro, the most important thing to do is constantly clearing the board. This way you let’s say have a 4/3 weapon with Lifesteal – not only you can clear the board with it, but you don’t take damage (or even heal) at the same time.

The best way to win Aggro matchups is obviously getting a Kingsbane, some Attack buffs and Leeching Poison. The deck is generally bad in fast matchups, just because of how limited its defensive tools are. Just like every deck, Kingsbane Rogue wants one thing against Aggro – survive. Winrate stats are currently unavailable for this deck at the moment! Kingsbane Mill Rogue Play Strategy Vs Aggro Even better if you can play Coldlight Oracle first. Sapping their Turn 4 Mountain Giant or whatever comes from the Possessed Lackey can get you ahead in terms of the tempo. It’s pretty threatening and can help you with the board control before you really take off. Like above, a buff, but this time with an extra 5/4 body. Naga Corsair – With Kingsbane / Shinyfinder.With two copies, you will draw it eventually, and you prefer to focus on Attack buffs instead. Unlike against Aggro, you don’t really need Leeching Poison in slow matchups. Deadly Poison – With Kingsbane / Shinyfinder.Not only you will often be able to mill your opponent as soon as Turn 4 (Warlock), but it brings you closer to the cards you need. Since you aren’t afraid of giving a slow deck more cards, Coldlight is amazing. Coldlight Oracle – That’s where the “Mill” part of the deck comes from.If you do draw Kingsbane – it gives you a solid refill and probably more weapon buffs etc. Elven Minstrel – Again, if you won’t draw Kingsbane, it’s another way to do it.

Kingsbane or Cavern Shinyfinder – Just like above, since Kingsbane is a central piece of your deck, you want to have it as quickly as possible.Your best way to win fast matchups is getting Kingsbane, buffing it and applying Lifesteal. Deadly Poison & Leeching Poison – With Kingsbane / Shinyfinder.Lower Priority (Keep only if certain conditions are met) If you didn’t get Kingsbane by the time you drop it, there is a solid chance to get Shinyfinder from it, resulting in Kingsbane on the next turn. Elven Minstrel – This card is really good, as it lets you put a small body on the board while drawing whatever you need.I’d actually keep him over the Kingsbane in the fast matchups, because of the extra body. Kingsbane or Cavern Shinyfinder – Of course, Kingsbane is the best card in this deck, and since you always want to have it as soon as possible, it’s an auto-keep in every matchup. Even better way to get Kingsbane than Kingsbane itself, as it comes with a 3/1 body.Backstab – Great card vs Aggro, clearing a minion in the early game can save you a lot of health in the long run.Check out our List of the Best Standard Decks for Hearthstone Ladder Kingsbane Mill Rogue Mulligan Strategy & Guide VS Fast Decks Milling a key combo piece, getting a 10+ Attack weapon with Lifesteal, those things are commonly happening with this deck, and that’s what makes it so cool.
