Relax, he was making a joke. Many members found a while back that if they misspelled rogue as rou ge it would display red face paint...

A rogue deck is one that defies the current metagame, but is capable of holding its own against those decks. A deck in the current metagame that can take on Luxchomp, Sableye, Tyranitar, and Vilegar will be rogue.
A rogue deck often becomes metagame-prevalent once its success is publicly recognized. (Example: Last season's Flygon/Gardevoir/Dusknoir was completely rogue, but worked incredibly well and became a meta deck)

Healix, DialgaChomp and Gyarados are other good examples of Rogue gone Meta.
But yeah, Kayle has a pretty good description, so its of a GOOD rogue deck. I think a general rogue deck is: A deck that utilizes a noticably unpopular (or undiscovered) combination of cards/strategy as its main basis. Such as how Flygon lock started rather rogue even though Flygon was popular because it used a different strategical take on it.

We've had this discussion many times before.
Rogue = Deck that is fairly UNknown. A rogue deck is not a "different" deck; that is just a "bad deck idea."
A rogue deck is a deck that uses a strategy that is unfamiliar and unexpected within it's format.
Since good rogues are format counters, they can be shut down fairly easily if they are discovered and exploited.
A good example of a rogue that earned a format counter is Shuppet Donk. Once that silly little deck gained popularity, people started teching in Mr. Mime/Unown Q/Wager to shut it down.
Well... that screwed up Gyrarados players as well! (Gyrarados was another rogue that gained popularity around the same time).
The interesting thing about a good rogues that it starts as a "silly idea" and, if it wins, becomes NETDECKED and transforms into a "great idea."
THEN, so many people hop onto the bandwagon that it becomes UNrogue and a "format deck/archetype."It's almost like Rogues are baby Archetype's :wink:

Player A: What's your record?
Player B: 1-4. I decided I hate luxchomp/sablelock/anything good so I'm playing a rogue deck because I'm different.
Player A: Ok bbbbbyyyyyeeeeeeee

This person is mistaken, though - as RA said, a "different deck" that gets you 1-4 is just a bad deck idea. To be considered rogue, the deck should be successful.

Most of the decks that get called 'rogue' are an insult to real rogue deck builders.
A rogue deck is NOT . . .
1. A bunch of sub-par cards played to be 'original'. As Rogue Archetype said, what you have there is a bad deck, plain and simple.
2. A failed archetype like Amphytric
3. A less common archetype like Gigas
4. An old archetype that isn't played much any more like Dusknoir
Building a REAL rogue deck - a deck that uses neglected cards/combos BECAUSE they are effective against the meta is probably the hardest thing to do (I know I can't do it). It's kind of annoying when people think their 'I play this cos I'm different' decks are in the same class.

Well, not necessarily. I'm sure there are successful rogues (aka soon-to-be-meta) that just have bad days as well. But yes, there are those people who think "I'm different so I build a crap-rogue" so yeah....I just stick to meta :tongue: haha.
"Rogue": a governor who quits half way through first term to avoid public scrutiny and ethics violations, but then goes on to join a party of laughably, and equally ill informed, political agitators of questionable intelligence...as in "Going Rogue." See "Taking campaign contributions for a 2012 run with no intention to seriously run, but with an intent to feather one's bed." and "Fox contributor."
