    Ugh... Miracle Rogue assistance.  I don't see anyone really equipping a 10/3 dagger often... but with so much Rustrot Viper being main decked for everyone, this would be a nice support for weapon rogue when your opponent drops both their vipers on your Swordfishs

    IS good until it becomes known, then it's getting countered by Viper every time.

    That being said, you can set up a pretty threatening ssituation if you have a pop-off turn with this and your locations. Big weapon for three swings with a stealthed Ghost to finish up. Getting this up to 5-attack should be easy. The only question is whether miracle Rogue actually works out.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    The biggest problem with the card isn't Rustrot Viper, because if your opponent is spending 3 mana to deal with your weapon, they're not progressing their own turn and chances are you've just spent a billion mana on your turn making a massive weapon with a board to boot. The problem here is reload, of which rogue has struggled with ever since the last rotation.

    There's simply no reason to go all the way and make a massive weapon only to run out of cards and get ruined by a simple AoE. And besides, how big are we expecting this to get? Perhaps 5/3 would be considered normal, and that's hardly worth wasting your entire hand for it.

    Can certainly get better with more support. Right now, what miracle rogue needs is more stuff to throw out, and better draw. Something close to evil miscreants would do, even if the tokens are simple 1/1s with no other effect.

    Again, a good miracle payoff. Just need the actual miracle cards first.

    Decent Miracle support and if you get the weapon buffed up and the opponent doesn't have removal on the spot, this could get dangerous quick. Even if you say for example buff this up to 5 or above and you would only hit once with it, it still would be decent. 

    Good card.

    Another Rogue card that wants you to play as many cards as you can in one turn. I think those have all been good, and this one might be as well.

    I'll give it 4 stars because I think Sinstone Graveyard is slightly better. You are guaranteed one swing, and it's going to be a very big swing, so your opponent's inevitable Rustrot Viper may not be enough to save them. With an equally large ghost ready to pounce the next turn, it's a lot to deal with.

    So you need to spend lots of mana to get big weapon, which gets countered by a tech card that already sees LOTS of play? I feel like the location is better for miracle decks.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    It seems it's going to be a lot of anti-weapon tech meta

    I've seen enough Roffle videos to be convinced that if nothing else, this is going to be a crazy Pillager Rogue-style deck payoff.

    Seems useful, and can easily build up for sure, but if anything, it simply reinforce the needs for weapon removal.

    I can imagine the OTK potential this one might have. Looking forward to seeing what comes of it!
