New Rogue Minion - Efficient Octo-bot

Miracle rogue is pushed hard

Cool card, but rogue already plays cheap enough cards for this to be relevant

I am afraid

At least Malygos is gone.

great for mana reduction but dont know if rogue needs it anymore

I am afraid of this card, very afraid.

Solid single hand cost reducer, a lesser-emperor. 

Seems strong. If you drop this on turn two 90% of the time you are going to trigger that frenzy. 

Make stuff even cheaper for Rogue, gj Blizzard

Can’t see a world where an opponent can reliably kill this in one shot if you drop it on turn 2. Even if they do, you’re making them waste a good spell/minion on a 2-mana 1/4 so that’s usually a net positive.

Nice one

I really love this card. It's so weird and powerful!

OH man... the frenzy on this can be epic... IF. ONLY. IT. WILL. HAVE. RUSH. 

Mana reduction for rogue... that's OP. This means potentially free poisons, and if Nitroboost Poison gets nerfed (Please nerf it blizz.) you can "unnerf" it, and obviously 0 cost cards are amazing combo starters..... This seems really good.

This is probably the best frenzy card in the whole set!!!

It is very hard to deal 4 or more damage from a single source on turn 2. This cost reduction feels a bit unnecessary given how many cards a rogue is able to play in one turn already, also it feels a bit weird to see a common card straight up reduce the cost of everything in your hand.

You know, I am actually a little frustrated at the amount of cycling and card slinging rogues get.

Great card that can help with combo cards 

will need to wait and see

very good frenzy card

good

Any card that reduces the cost of other cards for rogue is definitely good

is there a trigger your frenzy twice card?

Activate Frenzy (somehow), bounce to your hand, play again, activate again etc. This could lead into some great plays.

It's also a Mech, interesting. We have some Mechs in Core set.

Interesting combo piece enabler, maybe some can found a good use for it

omg just backstap on this is enough to win the game

Excelent! Incredible card

omg this is so scary. damage this, shadowstep it, repeat. seems crazy

Looks really good

Someone is gonna make a cool combo deck with this + ping (e.g. Pen Flinger, Backstab) as setup.

Backstab baby!

Nice

At first i thought Mech Rogue? Doesn't sound realistic.. Then i understand this is Miracle Rogue, and by accident also mech..

even cheaper rogue cards, great.

Mana cheat is always good, and this is just way too well-statted for such a strong effect.

Awesome card art. Looks super fun to play too. 

Hey this is nice! Good effect, stats and most importantly, art. It's a mech too, interesting.

So many good new cards for Rogue, I'm happy.

Just a random mech to come out of nowhere for rogue. And a good one too. At 4 health, its nearly impossible to deny value without wasting something from hand, and even if not, you can do it yourself with backstab.

1 mana decrease is a big deal for a class like rogue.

Almost guarantee activate.

Nerf to 3 health incoming.

Jeez, better kill this thing or not let the frenzy trigger

Oh boy otk rogue when?Maly gone ,great, we dodge a bullet.But maybe a new card will come in the future.

I like this as some sort of fake Thaurissan to reduce the Cost of combo pieces with Backstab or something. I don't think it makes it into Tempo types of Rogue decks.

Broom.

Then free stuff... just 3 mana combo. It's... It's... Rogue.

Oh my goodness, this card seems dangerous.

By all means, make the SSS and all the poisons come out even faster! Who needs chip damage from all those stealth minions?

The effect is very powerful for rogues. Luckily it's not easy for them to trigger the Frenzy the same turn it's been played, but maybe this is good enough on turn 2 in a tempo deck.

So glad this isn’t a Priest card. 

Damn you evil miscreant

Looks good on paper, but with Rogue’s lack of activators (outside of Broom or Backstab), I don’t think this will be that good unless a slower Rogue archetype is printed which can benefit off of this

Scary, but how easily can Rogue ping its own minions? 

Easy to ping with Pen Flinger

Neat idea but it's body is too weak.

Rogue already gets a bunch of draw + discount to (0), do you really need further discount?

Really good effect, but seems out of place in the barrens....

Keep on discounting cards)

Hard to immediately trigger, though with a tharussian trigger on a stick always will probably see some experimentation. Don't think it'll see play though

Yeah, i think i agree with you.

This card is nuts! Something crazy will be made utilizing this effect

Wow, this is a nice frenzy effect that will make rogue an even better class than it is now. 

Good card, interesting that this is the only mech in the whole set.

WTF

Rogue has tons of mana cheating with cards like Shadowstep, Preparation or Scabbs Cutterbutter... and blizz give her more?

Auto include and a keeper in your opening hand

Incredible card for both Standard AND Wild

This looks strong - nice support for Miracle Rogue but also Helps with almost every combo card and the Mana Cheating is very good for Rogue this expansion with cards like this or the Legendary Cutterbutter.

Rogue will do rogue stuff this expansion. This card is really good, no surprise.

Good if it sticks on the board.

Discount is good, this card is bad. Slow and unreliable.

Just Backstab it yourself. And yeah Rogues have a ton of bounces, especially in Wild. Insane combo potential and maybe even play outside those since cost reduction is always good.

Pen Flinger can also work. Shadowstep Efficient Octo-bot, Pen Flinger is also back in your hand. I don't know what combo can be pulled off in Standard, but yeah, Wild is wild.

Rogue is already a tempo heavy class with the ability to generate a lot of resources very fast. The way this card works can really amp up that gameplay to another level. Not only that, it allows Rogues to increase the amount of burst from spells they can use in just one turn. 

Let's not forget Preparation technically does nothing by itself. Efficient Octo-bot is like a mini Preparation that's not limited to spells but the opponent can interact with it. Expect al least heavy experimentation with this card.

If Rogue can make it work, mana reduction is never a bad thing.

best frenzy card?

I think this is mediocre

Woohoo - some cost reduction for budget players. Rogue is just looking awesome.

Do we really want to reduce the cost of already cheap cards in rogue? I don't think so but if its the case, with that 4 health it is most likely to activate the frenzy effect so it will do the job its done for.

It has 4 health and it does some really disgusting stuff when triggered.

Yes, its going to see play. Lots of play.

The high health for a 2-drop and the cost reduction in a class that loves combos makes me think this is at least decent.

The cost-reduction effect alone makes this playable in pretty much any Rogue archetype. Unless your opponent wastes a non-damage removal on this the effect is almost certain to go off as well. Pretty nifty card imo.

This card is insane! What have they done? Do they even playtest? Nerf candidate.

good

Great, card draw and mana reduction in rogue

With 4 health is highly probable that it will survive early on. Anyway the effect is insane...

This can cheat a lot of mana.

Potentially dangerous and a soft taunt but I currently fail to see the use case in Rogue

Since it has high health, it should be easy to trigger its Frenzy effect. That should make it quite good

Um...this is nuts.

Seems a bit too wonky to get value from this. The effect is good, but idk

Weak rogue card, don't know how to use if efficiently

This should be good for increasing the chains from Field Contact. Especially if you can discount cards to 0.

Stats are meh, so is effect.

Many ppl scared of this...c'mon guys at least frenzy triggers once!

Really like the artwork 

I'm expecting Rogue to be pretty good  this expansion. They are getting lots of ways to be efficient with their mana and still have effective removal tools.

little mini emp-t. I see this being essential for some otk builds

This, combined with Rogue's draw, makes me VERY scared of this card.

Incredible card, Rogue could use a few more of those because it just keeps getting nerfed to the ground ;P

good card

Good if it sticks on the board.

Yeah, too bad everyone has 4/1 rush or Soulfire in hand

Very hard to see how good exactly this is, but the potential is endless

Seems gross. I think rogue will be able to really abuse this one. Frenzy, thankfully, so it can only proc once. 

Just when edwin rotates out

Now that's what I call value!  It's an early drop, with decent survivability, and most of the time it should act as a one time Emperor Thaurissan effect.  I hope I'm not being overly optimistic, but I rather like this card.

Amazing card if played on curve.  Gets less value later in the game.  Think it sees lots of play, and in my mind, it will feel like opponents always have this by turn 2.

This is the second hand-cost reduction effect this expac I think. Good thing we're getting less generation...

I like how it gives a big cost reduction, but still makes it hard to combo. If you want to wait for all the combo pieces to get into your hand, this card will get much easier to insta-kill, at which point you'll need to use Backstab or smth.

This doesn't feel Rogue-ish but maybe I'm wrong.

together with new auctioneer it can do some very powerful things 

Very good all round. There's real potential for a new Miracle Rogue with this and Field Contact.

What an odd card. If played on Turn 2 then you'll likely get the effect off, as 4 Health is hard to drop in one go that early. On the other hand, dropping it early means you can't really combo it reliably, so you're just using it to potentially accelerate out a card a turn early sometimes. Seems... okay?

Interesting mana reduction card.

Aggressive Rogues already have enough mana cheat that they often don't have a hand size to warrant activating this for discounts. The only way I see Efficient Octo-bot being played is in an OTK Rogue where this acts like a cheap Emperor Thaurissan, which I don't see happening this expansion, but maybe in the future.
