Here we go again with the secrets.
This time it actually looks playable. Basically a 2-mana cobra, which is great value. Quite similar to Rat Trap actually since it really deters your opponent from making optimal plays.
This could be the only secret for Rogue and it would still see play because the "hidden" aspect is almost entirely irrelevant.
Not sure if the ambusher actually have stealth, but likely not.
Its still a 2 mana cobra, and very similar to Venomstrike Trap. The nature of this trap is your opponent will likely spend all their mana getting minions in play and therefore cant respond to a 2/3 poisonous minion. Very nice indeed.
I expect to see more secrets from rogue. Otherwise this would be too obvious to be a secret.
If the ambushers have stealth and rogue gets at least one decent AOE, rogue might be able to establish a real control deck.
It doesn't have stealth. You can see the token, "Broken Ambusher", on the card's own page.
I think you just play this because it's good.
Now they just need to add more rogue secrets to be confusing like against mage/hunter/pala and I will be happy.
And I like the body of the ambusher - 3 health will escape some cheap removals, so opponent need to invest something medium in order to not lose his big minion.
Cool effect - great flavor and theme - fits rogue to a T
Why did it take them so long to print more Secrets for Rogue?
I mean, it's not like this Class is known for, you know,... STRIKING FROM THE SHADOWS OR USING DIRTY TRICKS.
I like the comeback of Rogue secrets. If played on turn 2, this card provides a nice tempo swing versus your opponent's 3 mana minion.
Doesn't seem too strong, but could see play if Secret Rogue becomes a thing.
Cheaper Venomstrike Trap. Hunter didn't really play that trap unless they went for a full spell/all secrets deck. Wonder how well this will work for rogue.
when you discount something by 1 mana it's suddenly playable also when they play into it they have less mana to deal with it.. seems decent, probably mostly played for the synergy.
feels like a meh card..ya poisonous is good but feels clunky to play. to me this is a filler card.
This is the weakest secret for sure. It's just ok but will find a spot in Secret packaged deck
Another reprint, just the right flavor for rogue though.
The weakest out of all the rogue secrets, it will probably see play at the beginning of the expansion but will then be phased out for better cards.
Secret Rogue looks like a lot of fun!
Good on any stage of the game, i think secret rogue or any rogue deck with secret package will be good
Possibly the weakest of the three Secrets revealed for Ashes of Outland, but still a decent card. 2/2/3 Poisonous is playable.
Is a 2 mana Cobra playable? I would say maybe, and this is slightly better than that. If the opponent attacks to test the secret before playing a minion, you can get some good early advantage out of this.
it's also better that it doesn't require your opponent to attack one of your minions, they just need to plop one down.
With it being poisonous they'll need to remove it or suffer from wasting a turn, essentially
It's pretty guranteed to get you a 2/3 poison minion immeadiatly - which is quite good.
I don't think 2 mana is cheaper than 2 mana. Check my math, though. This is basically Venomstrike Trap with a different trigger (and the token is not a beast).
Trigger is easier than hunter's one. So might be better than it because when Venomstrike Trap is triggered, your enemy is mostly ok for trade just because they already traded with that minion with yours and that minion does the job for them and left 2-3 health in most situations but this time, When your opponent plays a big minion and use all of their mana, this ambusher will come which makes this card better than Venomstrike Trap in my opinion.
I just don't think a 2 mana Emperor Cobra is good enough to make the cut. I don't think this is bad, but it isn't better than some other secrets you would rather play instead.
meh...
Not that great since the token doesn’t even have stealth on it. Too easy to remove
Not the strongest of secrets, but decent regardless. Will likely still see play to enable Shadowjeweler Hanar.
It's a 2 mana 2/3 Poisonous. So easy to activate. So mandatory to activate. It's balanced because 2/3 is OK levels of stats.
This is removal for 2, which can survive, and is plain awesome, another amazing secret.
