Shoplifter Goldbeard is strange but I'm assuming it's set up for a Deathrattle Rogue in the future. Sahket Sapper like cards with this sound fun. Not sure why they didn't print something to showcase that potential here or in the core set. I looked at wild and there isn't much crossover between deathrattle and pirate. However, a Mid-range deathrattle pirates sounds like a fun and different approach for Rogue. I really hope that's what they do in the next set or two.
Overall, the Rogue set seems very scattered. Like they asked, "what does Rogue do?" and then put 1 of every idea into the set. There are some cool cards here, but it just doesn't give me the "oh I want to build that!" feeling other classes have this set. Even if those things are bad, they at least had a theme.
Toy Boat looks absolutely insane. It's Ship's Cannon but for fuel. I dunno about Standard, but that's definitely seeing Wild play.
Oh boy pirates for rogue again, whatever could go wrong. Let's hope they dont become redundant for the next two years.
Shoplifter Goldbeard - If you take off the mask you'd quickly realize what this really is. Its Mr. Smite, except shittier. Designed entirely to take advantage of the meager amount of useful pirates available in this expansion. So what can we do with this card? About the best you can hope for is sandbox scoundrel mini into Bargain Bin Buccaneer, or Watercannon after The Crystal Cove. Basically what Im trying to say is that this card is shit, only really playable assuming rogue has plenty of handbuffs, or otherwise somehow pirate rogue is so dominant that you'll slot this in because why not?
Sonya Waterdancer - Its gonna be broken at some point in the next two years. Essentially this card allows rogue to double the effects of all their 1 mana cards. Fortunately draka is no longer in standard.
Watercannon - The only thing I like about this card is that it has 3 durability and deals 9 damage over three turns.
The Crystal Cove - Its patently obvious that the main usage of this card is to hit two things; Watercannon's token or Bargain Bin Buccaneer. However, will it be competitive, given that it has very nearly zero usage outside of those two cards? Well, this one takes playtesting, because when it does work it will seem broken as hell but when it doesnt its a brick in hand.
Sandbox Scoundrel - Doesnt take a genius to see that this card is broken as hell. Not the card itself, the mini version. The scabbs comparison is not entirely fair, because scabbs costs 4 mana, whereas the mini version is a straight up unnerfed Innervate. Guess its good thing that draka and Sinstone Graveyard is rotating.
Have to say, if rogue is playable at all, chances are good it wont be a pure pirate deck, because none of these presents a viable wincon, nor are they making me interested.
Shoplifter Goldbeard. What a bad pirate one of the worst legendaries of this expansion
Watercannon. *Piranha Launcher Flashbacks* Horrible on its own although at least it can be used with The Crystal Cove but nothing else
Do you remember Scabbs Cutterbutter ?
He returned back in an Orcish Lady cosplay !
I wish i didn't watch the video tho. Died from cringe
Pirate Rogue might be huge if people are right about the second expansion later in the Year.
It's already kind of good, but it doesn't compete with Tier 1 with the current cards. I need to take a look at which of its cards are rotating out ...
The Crystal Cove. The only usefulness for it to be played is with sparkbots and any mini minion, it's a simple ok. I love the art referencing The Caverns Below
Thistle Tea Set. Okay, it's an improvement for any thief deck because you can choose your option instead of getting any random spell like other cards
Everything Must Go!. Pretty meh if there are only 2 minions at least it would be better if they were higher cost minions or at least summon 3 minions
Sonya Waterdancer. Our beloved Sonya with stunning hips has returned in a better way, being able to affect not only minions but also any card of that cost
The whole point of minis is that they have extremely strong Battlecries for just 1 mana. Giving them +3/+3 on top of that is a pretty big deal, and hoarding a bunch of them to play all in one turn in conjunction with the location is a very Roguish thing to do.
The location only makes your next minion 4/4, not all played that turn
Thanks, fixed, still a good card.
Only the art ?
I felt like I am trying to say Crystal Core but can't pronounce my R's when I saw The Crystal Cove. Thanks blizzard I feel like I'm 5 again !
I wrote the card's thread but wanted to write it here too. You can even dupe Giants and every 3-cost minion and spell with Shadowstep and Preparation, even Everything Must Go! and all cards that decrease in cost.
Did i mention legendaries from Wishing Well too ? :)
It is a great enabler for both your current round and new archetypes !
She's a dancer, ofc she would have excellent hips !
I hadn't thought of it that way, good point
I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I didn't remember the name of the reward, I was thinking about the Quest
Hi, wecome to tha Cwistal Cove! Wanna pway Piwate Woge?
The Crystal Cove makes me wonder how much drama could be avoided if they designed more Locations instead of "rest of the game" effects.
I agree! Almost every "rest of the game" effect we've seen has become problematic at some point. The Crystal Cove looks pretty weak to me, but Locations in general give you a nice ability to set something up across multiple turns. Even things like "Your next spell this turn" or "Your next Battlecry" are good because they have a limit and are therefore harder to abuse.
Well the signature card has also been revealed and those are quite hard to create fake leaks for so I'd say these cards are legit. Will wait and see 🥷
