It was initially modeled after the Magic: the Gathering deck "Miracle Gro", hence its name, which featured a card extremely similar to Questing Adventurer Questing Adventurer Set: Classic Type: Minion Rarity: Rare Cost: 3 Attack: 2 Health: 2 Tags: Triggered effect Whenever you play a card, gain +1/+1."Does anyone have some extra Boar Pelts?"See this card on Hearthpwn data called "Quirion Dryad".

Battlecry: Summon two 1/1 Whelps for your opponent.At least he has Angry Chicken.See this and SI:7 Agent, arguably being the best deck in the game until the releaseAnnounce of Loatheb. It was later hit by the increase in mana cost to Leeroy Jenkins and Gadgetzan Auctioneer Gadgetzan Auctioneer Set: Classic Type: Minion Rarity: Rare Cost: 6 Attack: 4 Health: 4 Abilities: Draw cards Tags: Spell-related, Triggered effect Whenever you cast a spell, draw a card.He used to run the black market (the former change being made to prevent the then-popular 26-damage OTK combo involving Leeroy, Cold Blood Cold Blood Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Rogue Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Abilities: Combo Give a minion +2 Attack.

During the "Classic cards nerf" of spring 2016, Miracle Rogue saw another drawback with the loss of Blade Flurry`s ability to also damage the enemy hero, and soon after with the loss of core cards like Tinker`s Sharpsword Oil due to the introduction of Standard format. Be that as it may, it gained new popular cards like Shadow Strike and Xaril, Poisoned Mind, and even Yogg-Saron, Hope`s End sees play in the newest versions of this deck. Later expansions over the Year of the Kraken gave Miracle Rogue decks new additions like Counterfeit Coin and Arcane Giant and continued to remain as one of the most played Rogue decks.
Miracle Rogue decks were substantially nerfed with the Year of the Mammoth standard, with Azure Drake and Conceal moving to the Hall of Fame set.
