I'm guessing this will be a nerf candidate sometime in the future.
Hilarious name, btw.
Seriously? Cutterbutter? To each their own then
I love this card. Everything about it. Even the name I love it too.
Also, there has to be a way to break this card in wild. Let me know if any of you find it.
Edit: With Spirit of the Shark, this reduces the cost of both cards by 6 right? If so, 6 mana is the cost of Spectral Pillager. I'll just let Dane take it from there.
gonna get nerfed
This card cheats a total of 2 mana, not counting the combo activator you need for this to work.
Unfortunately, unless there's some Questing Adventurer or Edwin VanCleef like card for rogue, this is just pure mana cheating for 2 without the necessary big minion to go along with it.
But with cards like Shadowstep, you're really cheating quite a good deal of mana. Not to mention that with Tenwu of the Red Smoke, you'll end up cheating a whopping 7 mana's worth in the same turn. Fairly certain there's some OTK combo with Oil Rig Ambusher somewhere around here. If not an OTK then certainly a good deal of damage.
Certainly one of the best cards for rogue. But with a surname like that, who really doubts this to be anything less than 5 stars.
whats rogue identity? cheat, thats their identity
Best character name ever. I wish my parents named me this.
Nice effect, Rogues got a lot of cards that are HUGE when discounted for value - like SI: 7 Agent, Vanessa, or that new weapon they just revealed.
I feel like this guy will be in a deck with lots of bounce so you can keep utilizing the effect. If Whirlikick was in standard this guy would be an MVP.
Well I'm sure Rogues are gonna have a lot of fun next expansion. Everyone else, not so much😂😂
I can't believe we got two different versions of the card lmfao.
The 2/2 that was here apparently is old. 3/3 is correct stats.
The 2/2 is there because Blizzard already has the nerf planned :)
If Edwin VanCleef and Questing Adventurer would be in Core, this would be bonkers. Nevertheless this is good value, but not broken
Weird, I was certain they would make the Rogue mercenary a Goblin (to represent all the Horder races)...I guess not
There are 5 Horde and 5 Alliance races. Goblin and worgen (and pandaren too I guess) were left out, probably because they were going for a WoW Classic vibe and they were the last to be added in WoW.
there's also the next two expansions for them to add more mercenaries, too
True, though they've repeatedly made a big point about following these 10 throughout the year so I doubt they'd add more.
It looks like the focus is more on the Horde characters in the Barrens (as seen in the trailer), while the Alliance 5 will feature more in the second expansion, possibly followed by a clash in expansion 3 (Alterac valley??). What difference that 'focus' actually makes I don't know. Perhaps they will be ordered Horde then Alliance in the Book of Mercenaries?
Well, it's at least Burning Crusade, since we have Bloodelves and Draenei.
I suspect they wanted to not repeat any races, so they kind of had to include those two to make up the numbers. The Barrens trailer definitely mimics a few frames from the OG WoW trailer, hence why I'm adamant they wanted a WoW Classic vibe. Not to mention the focus on an early leveling zone.

has 3/3 stats actully.
not sure WHY would need more stats then 2/2 with effect that good but aperently its 3/3.
