Rogue deck? I have a few ideas, but I really don't know if any of them are good. Gengar/Spiritomb comes to mind as something that's good in theory, but would be ruined by a single Unown G. You might try Ampharos/Kabutops too, although I'm not sure how "rogue" it is.

Or run Gardellade now that a lot of people think its days are over.

Do people think this deck is dead ? Most of it is still legal.

People think GG is dead because it lost DRE, IE Speed.

Im just sad I lost my DRE's *Insert Delta Rainbow Energy joke here*

Man I miss my 1/1/1/1 Deoxys line teched into every one of my decks >.<

Isn't the point of going rogue using something you made yourself, that noone else has thought of? If so, it seems a bit hypocritical to ask other people what to use. :/

On a side note, here's a good guide to makeing these decks:

Well, NOT exactly. A Rogue deck is a deck that is built of Pokemon that either Counter the format, used in ANOTHER way than its typical use, or that arent used much or at all!

But, you are right! You DONT need to ask anyone about building a Rogue deck, just go from instinct, and what you feel comfortable with.

A good red face powder deck? I hear Magmortar's still a decent card, though Scramble being gone kinda hurts. Blaziken isn't too bad either, but no Blaze PK kinda hurts too. OBVIOUSLY the following won't be out until Stormfront (at least), but once we get stuff like Rapidash, Heatran Lv.X, etc. then Fire will be a pretty powerful type, especially with all the grass around.

...Wait. You meant Rogue (original deck), not red face powder (err... French for red?), didn't you? Darn it. Silly spellings. <_<"
Seriously, I don't see what the point of making a deck and screaming "ZOMG, ROGUE!" when there hasn't been a single Premier Event in this format yet. ANYWHERE in the world. Who's to say that the predicted "Archetypes" of Kingdra and AMU won't be beaten out by more popular runs of Gliscor, etc.? WAAAY too early to be trying to play against a metagame, especially since counter decks sterotypically fall flat on their faces from random stuff they don't expect. *sigh*
