Since warden is not a playable class, insisting they rigidly follow characters' classes equates to not wanting Maiev as a hero portrait at all.
Yes she could be a priest based on her role during the War of the Ancients, but is a priestess of Elune really the same thing as the playable priest class? No. So Tyrande shouldn't be here either. Nor N'Zoth, Deathwing, Lady Vashj etc.
So she's fine as the nearest thing, which is a rogue.
I'm also not comfortable with Tyrande or others you mentioned but I can't deny that you're right because in near future nor far future, we know they won't be playable with their own classes. But that doesn't change the fact that Rogues are assassins who aim to kill the target while Wardens are jailers are guardians. Maiev is a warden who uses rogue skills but her job is all about ward and guard. She was the jailer of the Illidan Stormrage. We might know that because we all grew with the Saga's earlier games. Honestly, I don't like that people meet her as a rogue and don't know the real origin of her.
I would like to see Old God Class and them as Skins, same with others as well tho.
She originated Fan of Knives, uses poison daggers, blinks in and out of shadows, and wears a black hood.
I guess to blizz she is practically a rogue in all but name.
You are also right. It is how Maiev in Warcraft 3 but same with what I wrote above. If you play HoTS, you probably know what skills Maiev uses in that game and also in lore. It is deeper than that and your guess is wrong according to that game. She is not practically a rogue for blizzard either. She jails people, pulls them etc. It is different than a rogue's assassinating.
How The Lich King can't be a skin, Maiev Shadowsong should have been just a card but not a skin imo. but I can still understand the idea behind. We won't get their classes near future or in anytime so we at least use them as a skin of existent classes.
That also rises some hopes in me which we might get Death Knight class in some day.
It's weird given the increased communication from Dean, Alec, etc. that they wouldn't just say what's up. Maybe they were pressured to reveal for Blizzcon, since that event was so sparse to begin with. But will people really care if it gets pushed out a little bit? Sure the meta is stale/annoying but I think most of us expected this to launch in April anyway given past years, so I don't see what the big deal is.
My bet is that it'll come either on Thursday or Friday, there being a few more unnerf announcements incoming so tomorrow's likely out of the question.
It is very strange that they'd delay the reveals to such an extent. Is it really a good move to condense everything into 10 days before launch? I wonder if that means Barren's launch would be delayed as well.
I reckon the release will be delayed and the 23rd was probably just the earliest they thought it could release. It's going to be a lot less hassle to extend the period people can buy the bundle for than to stop it earlier than people are expecting - much less complaints at least
Such a short reveal season will make card discussions all the more rushed :/ and Blizzard's continued silence on the release date and reveal schedule is becoming infuriating
Quest Rogue no longer has access to boar or bluegill for its charge shenanigans but they aren't changing Southsea Deckhand, are they? This is a lot less consistent because it requires a weapon equipped and that can be easily removed but Rogues do have access to a variety of cheap weapons. I don't think the deck will break Wild as it's too vulnerable to aggro but the toxic playstyle isn't completely gone.
And Priest only got Power Word: Shield back, huh? A little bit of support for other archetypes would be highly appreciated but i guess that is pointless until they finally deal a killing blow to Raza Priest as no other archetype Priest has access to can compete against that. I guess they didn't do anything about Extra Arms because the card's original cost is 3 and they don't want to do a double revert (buff, revert the buff, revert the revert)?
Nothing much to say about Call to Arms. It just revives Even Paladin. Maybe the deck will be strong enough to be competitive but the field has changed a lot and the competition is fiercer than ever.
I think Kingsbane Rogue is a full on aggro deck now, so I doubt it would use this (although you could justify running one copy as some form of insurance)
I was playing some non-combo Quest Rogue in wild for 4/4 lackeys and believe me you don't even need bounce with Bloodsail Flybooter and with lackeys anymore to complete the quest. If you are lucky enough, 2 copies of it will complete it for you and that's not that hard, i know that because i played a lot in wild.
In my opinion, it should be reverted because of Bluegill and Boar nerfs. I really think that the unnerf of The Caverns Below is fair enough with charge nerfs but i'm repeating again, you don't even need bounce to complete it with Bloodsail Flybooter now.
I respectfully mention again - bouncing a lot in the early game doesn't really work in Wild, leaving the deck wide open to aggro. I congratulate you on your success, and agree that "if you are lucky" Flybooter will solo the quest - though aggro typically goldfishes an inactive opponent by turn four in the older format. HSReplays currently has the deck posting a 43% win-rate. The 5/5 buff won't matter too often - I'm not sure if the revert to four bounces, rather than five, will make up the distance between Quest Rogue and the other top-tier Rogue decks (Kingsbane is currently 57%, and Odd Rogue is 58%.) In any event, GLHF.

After hearing that Starving Buzzard is going to be unnerfed in wild, this suddenly becomes much more interesting.
I can see this being a powerful asset in a draw-heavy/deck-thinning aggro hunter deck.

New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
Too slow and inconsistent. May be actively bad in the late game when you are looking for strong cards and draw this.
New Warlock Spell - Imp Swarm (Rank 1)
On it's own this card is not strong enough. Modern Hearthstone is to fast for such a slow card.

Compared to 3 mana Blade Dance, Blade Flurry at 2 mana seems reasonable, since you lose the weapon.
I don't know how it would impact the wild. Is Kingsbane Rogue still a thing?
