Could be very annoying indeed, but with the limited survival tools rogue has it should be easier to beat them than for example ressurect priest also a deck which does almost nothing for alot of turns but has better tools to survive than rogue.
Kingsbane had enormous health regeneration while waxadred only can provide more pressure.
As long as they can keep that in balance i think it should be fine, though the amount of good draw cards rogue has acces to can make for a quick set up of the Waxadred ''combo'' and enabling of the effect.
The draw like candle breath concerns me somewhat after Waxadred is set up.
At first I thought I like it less than the normal version, but during the matches the golden border looks so much better than the white/silver one. Still wish that we could see more of the cardbacks during the match, sometimes I see opponent's cardback and would like to know where he got it from, but if he doesn't take a slow discover, the chance that I remember how it looked like after the match is slim.
Wow this is so good with Waxadred. Deatrattle rogue might be really strong, maybe even t1. Rogue has many deatrattle activators as well as good draw to draw waxadred candles and good tempo cards live Eviscerate, backstab and so on. Rogue might overall be the best in DoD meta.
I'm afraid it won't be enough for standard, even though "spell on a stick" type of cards are the strongest ones. The class needs more dragon support, but maybe it will happen during the course of the year.
oh shit, I forgot he's a thing now. The whole Waxadred spam might actually be a thing after all, especially since Rogue can shuffle copies into the deck so you can guarantee to get this off when you need it.
Although....do we really want that? Do we really need a deck in the meta which does nothing for a few turns and then just spams 7/5s and you basically lose if you don't beat them before that? Sounds a bit like Kingsbane Rogue with extra steps.
Oh excellent - even more chances for Waxadred shenanigans! I fully intend to try and see just how many Wax candles I can shuffle into my deck in one match. I'm betting with a little luck I could get over 20 with some help from Necrium Vial and Necrium Blade ...
If you run a choice amount of strong deathrattles you can get something like a Mechanical Whelp on turn 4, with 3 extra health, meaning your opponent probably won't have the ressources to kill it outright, meaing that you can Necrium Vial on the following turn and win from there.
Granted, at this moment we don't have enough good Deathrattle minions to make this worth (wouldn't want this to hit Gral or Blightnozzle)
Overall it's similar to Ankha where it's absolutely nuts if it works out, but the deckbuilding restrictions are just a bit...inconvenient...probably for the better.
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
Every combo-deathrattle deck screams for this card!!!!!!!!!
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
Nice combo potencial.
And obvious Waxadred shenaginans.

"Does nothing for a few turns and you basically lose if you don't beat them before that"
Sounds more like Un'goro quest rogue to me.

Nether Breath
Seems like the tempo version of Lesser Amethyst Spellstone . If dragon warlock is a thing this will most certainly be included I'd wager.
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
Excellent card! Will definitely see play!
Crazed Netherwing
Maybe someone manages to make a good one-of warlock deck that contains enough synergy do add this to the deck?
New Warlock Minion - Crazed Netherwing
Very good one, but we warlock still lacks a proper win condition... We will have to wait a bit more to see other cards.

This card text means: play me in a combo deck, please!!!

A very good synergetic card with a lot of combo possibilities

Rogue Card Reveal - Necrium Apothecary
not sure I'd want to waste this on Blightnozzle. Rogue has better removal options.
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
Much better than Myra tho the only real benefit Myra has is that it is a battlecry.
Besides that Myra is alot of RNG maybe you get the best deathrattle out there maybe you only get choices which will net you a 2-1 or 1-1s.
Apothecary allows people to dupe strong deathrattle effects which they can tutor with this card.
Biggest downside of this card is when you put only 1 deathrattle card in your deck and you draw that card on turn 1 or 2.
(trying to center your deck completely around Waxadred for example)
If you got multiple really strong deathrattles in your deck this card will most likely always outshine Myra i think.
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
Big rogue potential, it is 5/5 for me:)
Rogue Card Reveal - Necrium Apothecary
This is a great tutoring card, but with the small downside of letting your opponent know the card you’ve drawn.
I’m interested to see what deathrattle combos will come up with
Rogue Card Reveal - Necrium Apothecary
Turn 3 Necrium Blade and hit face. Turn 4 play this which pulls Deathwing, Dragonlord and hit face. Summons the mighty I AM POWER INCARNATE!, Malygos and Ysera.
I think that the new deathwing will be jelous:)

I don't know if it's going to be good, but I am pretty sure it's going to be fun.
Rogue Card Reveal - Necrium Apothecary
Nice tutor/value card for Waxadred, but even with Mechanical Whelp or Blightnozzle Crawler very good.
I can't wait to jam it in my Deathrattle Rogue for insane tempo swings
Rogue Card Reveal - Necrium Apothecary
Great Card!
Strong support for Dearhrattle-Rogue and probably a safe craft for Waxadred-Rogue.
Also probably great for big Rogue in Wild.
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
Oh excellent - even more chances for Waxadred shenanigans! I fully intend to try and see just how many Wax candles I can shuffle into my deck in one match. I'm betting with a little luck I could get over 20 with some help from Necrium Vial and Necrium Blade ...
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
Very interesting and has some combo potential. There are some good deathrattle cards in standard, but in wild its potential is almost limitless.
