New Rogue Minion - MC Blingtron

I'm skeptical of this.  It's a great thing to drop ASAP and go miracle on them and kill them by death of a thousand 1 dmg cards... but this would have been better with a "Until the end of the game" aspect. like Alexandros Mograine

What an absolute flavour win in every way. Not only do you force your opponent into a rap battle that you're better at (hence the extra damage taken), but it also keeps the original Blingtron's effect.

Now as for viability. It's a Void-touched Attendant for 5-mana that your opponent can counter by playing a weapon. On the other hand, it's a Void-touched Attendant for Rogue (!) as well as built-in weapon tech.

Could go either way, but I'm trying to be optimistic.

This would also destroy whatever weapon the other play has equipped, which might mean triggering the deathrattle before it's powered up as much as they wanted. Then they need to swing twice in order to get rid of the increased damage taken, while you effectively have a 2/2 weapon assuming you only attack face. Yeah, not a super strong weapon for you, but the damage boost can hurt a lot.

This card can only avoid being nerfed due to redundancy, because rogue can already do so much damage the add damage might not even matter.

But to be fair this card is just insane. Destroy your opponent's weapon, set up for kill the next turn, and the only counter is another weapon.

If tempo rogue is up, this card would be in it, and then get subsequently nerfed to 6.

One-sided Voidtouched is powerful, I'm not going to deny that, but with everyone getting weapons, might actually be awkward to time? Like rather than giving you two turns to use it, they could just override it with their own weapon, so just to be sure you're probably not playing this on curve unless for lethal.

MC Blingtron is straight up savage and will need his attitude in check!
If this is the outcome of the robot uprising, then sign me up!

Card is doomed to fail bc if it does somehow perform ppl will just slot a little more weaponry or play Rogue more.

One funny wild combo would be to force Avenging Wrath on Zephrys a few times (not super hard to do), play this and Contraband Stash to unleash 24-40 pings that deal 2 damage to face. Good luck with that one in Wild tho

So blingtron returns, with kinda meh stats and gives both players a weapon just like the original Blingtron 3000. I do like that! However this time around he spices things up a bit by giving you a weapon that's basically the same as the rogue hero-power weapon, but also gives your opponent a one-sided Voidtouched Attendant effect on a weapon. And you force your opponent to play a weapon in order to get rid of the debuff, or if their a rogue they are forced to either hero power or play another weapon. So most of the time you force your opponent to remove/break their weapon, which can mess with their gameplan or just buy you some time. And of course Shadowstep/Breakdance/Bounce Around (ft. Garona) can just bounce blingtron so you can keep annoying your opponent. Also there is the weapon buff package rogue is getting this expansion, and MC Blingtron gives you a weapon right away which is nice in case your previous weapon breaks.

This seems alright to me, especially if you combo this with Astalor Bloodsworn. Or if you have a bunch of minions on board this can act like a finisher. If you break your opponents Record Scratcher or Idol's Adoration, then they will be quite sad. And MC Blingtron can prevent Jungle Jammer, Timber Tambourine, Arcanite Ripper and Jazz Basss effects from scaling.

To me, MC Blingtron seems like a nice finisher/burst option, that can also function as weapon removal. Seems like a all around nice card, but i do think that MC Blingtron will mostly see play in more aggro/midrange rogue decks. 

Also i guess Garona will be a rogue mini-set legendary?
