This seems nice, it generates a bunch of value and with Shadowstep, Breakdance and Bounce Around (ft. Garona) you can repeat this a lot, and while doing that your making your future Rhyme Spinners a lot bigger. (And probably generating some additional ones at the same time.) and your buffing Record Scratcher as well... This seems strong to me.
Welp this is STRONG. This makes it so you don't fall behind on board, and you can still bounce a lot of stuff. The only bad thing about this card is the fact that Shadowstep is still in the core set. But even then, i feel like people will still include both into most decks because bounce effects in rogue have always been strong.
resfresh mana... in rogue?... 5 star card, will see a lot of play. And there are a lot of cheap combo cards like Ghostly Strike and Gone Fishin' and on top of that, Eviscerate is back in the core set..
Thank yogg it's confirmed that this card CAN'T be discovered! This card is insane in so many decks, i think this might just see play in every rogue deck until it rotates. This is basically a mass Shadowstep which can be Preparationd out... This card is nuts.
Edit: Also Shadow of Demise excists, so you can do this twice in a row....
Eh, not sure about this card. This seems nice if rogue has a bunch of decent weapons, but outside of Swordfish i don't think rogue has any good ones that benefit from this. Also Assassin's Blade is not in core anymore, which i feel might be because it's too good with these weapon buff cards due to it's high durability.
However once rogue gets more weapons with 3 or more durability this will probably be quite strong.
Seems alright if you play this on curve. Turn 2 weapon into this is probably best case scenario? Because otherwise i don't see why you would play this. Rogue has better things then 3 mana draw 2 (*ahem* concoctions), and triggering the finale seems bad later into the game? Because WHY would you want to draw LAST? And this card makes you draw last to get the finale!
Okay okay, i can only see 1 deck that might use this. Miracle rogue. Discount this to 0 mana with like a coin and Preparation, draw stuff and do more mana cheating. But even then, i'm not sure how good it will be. I feel like draw options from concoctions are better.
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.
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?
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
Real life is going really rough these days, that's why I've been absent for the last two weeks. New keyword competitions are kinda my favorites though so I'll try to find the time to participate this week. Here's a first idea I came up with when Overheal was revealed. The art is a placeholder for now.
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.

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.

The perfect card to play after emoting.

I just like the artwork, and the pun : W O R D

No one would ever be that stupid ^^
New Rogue Minion - MC Blingtron
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!

Warrior's looking at all the armored goodies going to Druid - again - and be like "What's my class identity?!"

Music is Mukla's escape from his anger. When he's on-stage, it's like he's a whole different gorilla… Until you boo him.

Oh no! I burned a card!
Anyway...

Yeah, this is just crazy good, making your hero power worth using rather than just using up your leftover mana.

I'm actually wondering if a Rapping Pirates deck is going to be a thing.
New Druid Spell - Spread the Word
Remember, Pounce is sticking around, and with the attack buff support being printed, this is 0 mana draw 2.
