Rogues terrorize the game world of Hearthstone. The Quest Rogue is easy to play and destroys almost every opponent.
With the fresh expansion “Journey to Un’goro”, many players have spent some hours in Blizzard’s card game again to check out the new cards and changes. Especially the “Mutation” mechanic and the new Quest cards create excitement – but only one of them is hated by almost all players.
In every season, there are several hate decks from the community that hardly anyone can tolerate, as they relatively easily secure a victory. One such deck is the “Quest Rogue”, which, as expected, relies on the rogue quest. The quest is relatively easy to complete, as the rogue only needs to play 4 minions of the same name. Since rogues have many ways to copy minions or return them to their hand with Shadowstep, the quest is often completed after 3-5 turns.
Other quests in the game usually take much more time and cannot keep up with this speed.
The Hearthstone Quest Rogue runs amok
What really makes the deck annoying is the reward. Once “Crystal Core” is played, all minions of the rogue have stats of 5/5 and you can already guess where the journey is going. From now on, only small minions with Charge enter the field, such as Patches or even the Stonehide Boar.
A 1/1 minion with Charge for 1 mana becomes a 5/5 minion with Charge. If the rogue then has “Bounce” cards in hand, they can even play the same Charge minions multiple times per turn, which often results in a 30-damage combo in one turn, thus bringing the opponent to their knees.
An example of this deck is the “Dog’s Rank 1 Legend Quest Rogue” deck, which you can find on Hearthpwn (link to deck list).
What do you think of this deck? Does it annoy you or is it exactly what you have always been waiting for?
Cortyn says: The rogue’s quest is currently too easy to complete when compared to other quest cards. Personally, I also do not like this type of deck that relies on a “one-turn kill combo” because it takes a lot of excitement out of the game. I hope that Blizzard will improve this and adjust the rogue a bit. Alternatively, some creative minds could come up with better counter decks against these cards.
