Overview

Oil Rogue is an aggressive deck reliant on tempo cards such as Backstab, Preparation and SI:7 Agent while abusing powerful spells such as Eviscerate and Sap to generate additional tempo. It aims on pushing early points of damage with its minions to later end the game with Tinker's Sharpsword Oil and Blade Flurry. Against other aggressive deck archetypes, Oil Rogue relies on cards like Earthen Ring Farseer and Loatheb to prevent lethals and gain an edge in the damage race.
