Odd Rogue's problem is that its only wincon is board control, which it doesn't do well in the meta anymore. There's a reason odd paladin has like a 76% win rate against rogue.

I mean, Odd Rogue used to run cards like Fan of Knives for the Odd Paladin matchup, so like...they could put that card back in for starters if they wanted to up their Odd Paladin matchup.

But no, mostly my frustration with Odd Rogue is that...the dagger tends to be really good against other aggro matchups because you can kill all their stuff, like 75% winrate against Zoo or something. (And sure, not as great against Odd Paladin cause you can't kill literally all their stuff). But against defensive control decks you're super fucked. Like...wtf do you do against Odd Warrior? I remember having like an 80%-90% winrate against Odd Rogue as Shudderwock Shaman (the deck reddit told me is supposed to be "weak to aggro"). I sometimes win vs wock as Odd Rogue, cause I know the matchup, and know there's only one or two things that can go wrong for the shaman (dire mole with cold blood attacking on turn 2. Out of control Hench Clan Thug. Board that can't be volcanoed). But that means games are often out of reach if the opening mulligan doesn't deliver.

Side note, pretty satisfied with my tech choices for my weird version of deathrattle hunter. Faced an Odd Paladin who had everything; Paladin went first, Lost in the Jungle on 1, Raid Leader on 3, Righteous Protector to protect Raid Leader for multiple turns (and Blessing of Mighted his raid leader--somehow had enough buffing to never need to suicide the raid leader so that went face a lot). Also had level up on 5, Divine Favour, An Unidentified Maul with Divine Shield, both corridor creepers, both fungalmancers, the second Level Up. I kept trying to set up a cube on a Witchwood Grizzly or Tar Creeper and my opponent killed them all by buffing the board. Lich King? Killed it. Primordial Drake? Killed it. But my tech choices of Lich King and Primordial Drake undoubtedly won me the game; I would have lost if those were still Savannah Lions in my deck. Lich King got me Army of the Damned, which I didn't play right away cause I had Primordial drake. Army pulled up Shaw, Keleseth, and an Egg, which was enough with Shaw rush to clear the board by triggering the egg a couple times. Stabilized at 4 health, could still be dead to a Vinecleaver topdeck, but I think that was his only out. Next turn trackinged into Rexxar putting me out of range.
