Hearthstone Standard Rotation: The 5 Best Arena Cards Rogue Will Lose in 2019

#1. Vilespine Slayer

Expansion: Journey to Un'Goro

Vilespine Slayer stands on the top for both Arena and Constructed. Assassinate, a spell with no body and the same effect has a much higher value in Arena than Constructed. The ability to bounce back or shuffle Vilespine Slayers (due it to being a minion) and on top of being a hard removal with a decent statted body makes it the best Arena card from the sets.

Rogue already received a spell "Walk the Plank" which destroys undamaged minions, so the pool of cards is only getting a little weaker.

Honourable Mentions

Here are some Rogue class cards and Neutral cards which have also been great for the class.

Fal'dorei Strider

Expansion: Knights of the Frozen Throne

Fal'dorei Strider is possibly even better in Arena than Constructed. Getting free 4/4 bodies worth 12/12 stats is a lot of value especially when you don't have many cards in your hand or deck. The 4/4 Spiders can serve as a great backup and the shuffling doesn't saturate your deck.

Shroom Brewer

Expansion: Kobolds & Catacombs

Rogue pretty much has no heals. If you keep punching with your weapon, you're bound to have low health. Shroom Brewer helped to fill that gap for Rogue. It is a common card with a fair cost and a fair Battlecry. Shroom Brewer can also be used to heal damaged minions you want to keep up.
