I fear Zephrys is too big a problem here. It provides weapon destruction and can destroy your win condition.

I know this very well from the wild meta where I am quite successful with my spectral burgle rogue. 

Without the weapon the tempo burgle package doesn't provide enough punch to compete with other decks in wild and standard meta.

- The only thing I'm sure about is Dragons and a new lackey that is probably Drakonid or Draconic Lackey and might have a " if you are holding a dragon" synergy.

Yeah I'm not sold at all about this one: that would mean that every deck that uses Lackey would have to run a Dragon package in order not to have a dead 1/1 in hand, which seems pretty unreasonable to me.

Just think about Tempo Rogue, or even just Rogue, with Dragons: that doesn't make a lot of sense to be fair.

Since today, to me the game crashes systematically after few seconds in the home screen.

There is also no Innkeeper voice introduction, despite sounds being up.

Hey guys, I searched the forum and found only a closed hearthstation thread to this Topic. 

How is the roadmap providing a HDT plugin for scanning users Card Collection?

Whispers of the Old Gods and Mean Streets of Gadgetzan sets are up. Although I seriously need help with the wording on Magic Suppressing Potion.

Quote From ArngrimUndying

I am 100% with you on this.

The only times I ever rope are:

1) If I get roped first, almost always on Turn 1 - that tends to get people to knock it off.

2) If I'm playing in Casual and come up against someone playing Tier 1 netdecks to gold farm those of us playing memes (as just happened with 6 Secret Highlander Paladins in a row this morning). As soon as I see what you are I rope every. single. turn. You want that easy win? Sure, but I'm going to suck up as much of your time as I possibly can. The more time you're stuck with me, the less time you can bother other people and I can just as easily read the news while I wait for my timer to burn down each turn. 

Fundamentally, my philosophy is the same as that of 2nd century Chinese warrior-sage Zhuge Liang: "If you don't give a damn, we don't give a fuck (Hey!) Don't start no shit, it won't be no shit!" Truly a wise, wise man.  

Might just be me, but wasting other people’s time because they’re playing a deck you don’t like doesn’t seem heroic or considerate. It’s just being a dick

I don't mind that you play Shaman, but I do mind that you, your neighbors and their dogs play Shaman ...

Quote From Elfensilver

I love the Cutlass, made some 300wins in wild with it, and like to try in in standard. But I neither own Captain Greenskin nor Edwin. What are good alternatives? Did you test any of the following cards?

Academic espionage- because I don't care about winrate? And a second cutlass?

A pirate-or attack synergy, like the  growing 3/3, or the combo-pirate that buffs your weapon?

Maybe Shadowstep&Evil Miscreant for more options?

Shadowstep is a good addition. I love espionage but there isn't a good enough draw engine after you've played it imo. The combo pirate would be a great fit too, but haven't tried it myself 

That's true, Infinite Tesses can do the trick. My view might by subjective here, having played Cutlass Rogue in wild since Witchwood where my main objective was to grow the cutlass to a point it was ridiculous. Weapon destruction was a huge issue for that.

Quote From ArchSpike

I feel that, considering the popularity of zephrys, it would be recommended to either run the quest or a second cutlass as a fallback plan. Otherwise you are basing your entire gameplan on a single card that you not only have to draw but also keep alive.

Also, I think with the amount of burgle effects, The cutlass lacks sustain. Academic Espionage should help with that in the lategame.

Having a second cutlass is fair, but the tempo package actually wins most games. I usually try to wait for after they've played zeph to equip the weapon, but surprisingly he often doesn't give weapon removal if you have a decent board. 

Regarding sustain, I've never run out of burgled cards to keep the weapon alive. For fatigue games you can usually coordinate infinite Tess which feels really good when it happens. 

Thank god this HS roping issue will end in 2020. It really is annoying

What the actual fuck where they on when they decided "hey, you know what would be a good idea? Giving a class permanent Brann Bronzebeard effect, why not? What could possibly go wrong? Amiright?"

I'm constantly losing interest in this game, and I'm not that stupid to see the new expansion's announcement and immediately forget all this shit we have to go through. I don't care how much hype it will bring, since it will still come down in this situation if they're not able to fix their fucking game.

And ffs I'm not a mobile player, otherwise I would be even more salty

Quote From Shosupply

I am surprised you are not using the quest with this deck.  Seems like it would fit in really easily.

It's a slightly different take on quest Rogue. It concentrates on buffing the lifesteal weapon which helps you stabilise in the mid game and then get excellent value from your burgled cards.

If weapon destruction becomes more prominent, I don't think it would do as well (you'd probably put in a second weapon) but for now you mostly just need to avoid Zephrys. 

My bad.  I didnt see the spectral dagger in the list.

I don't have the patience to do this.  I do applaud your patience for it though.  When I play, it is usually because I have 10 minutes here and there.  I'm an adult and I just don't have the time to deal with it.  I used to get bent out of shape when they did it... in fact I wrote a lengthy article on why people who do that should be penalized as they are disrupting the game and community.  But, in all honesty, I've got bigger and better things to do than waste my time with someone who has a double digit IQ and a 4 figure income living in their parent's basement and calling their parents "Roommates". 

- The only thing I'm sure about is Dragons and a new lackey that is probably Drakonid or Draconic Lackey and might have a " if you are holding a dragon" synergy.

- I don't think those two cards represent the keyword. It represent probably the sides, The Light bleeds are Golden and Purple and the lights are changing sides occasionally. She is constantly changing cards to predict to future correctly but all cards are same and changing lights so she can't decide what will really happen.

- My personal thought is that Dragon Aspects are coming, because LoE just saved the Uldum and didn't tried to get Dalaran back. Here, I wonder what happened to Kalecgos, Khadgar, Rhyssa, Nozari, Vereesa and Stelladris. They just fled or captured by E.V.I.L. ? I really think that;
Alexstrasza for Hunter
Ysera for Druid
Malygos for Mage
Nozdormu for Paladin will come to fight with Deathwing.

Because Rafaam is just a Ethereal Thief who wants to exchange Dalaran with something precious. He made Togwaggle the King. So Togwaggle is just a servant of Rafaam, didn't have any plans. Dr. Boom only wanted wisdom of the Dalaran for his experiments in Booms Lab. Hagatha has just sided with them like Dr. Boom because of wisdom and she sided with E.V.I.L because the enemy of my enemy is my ally but Lazul is different. She is a servant of Old Gods so the key character here is her. The Lore might shape like this;

She learned that Rafaam will steal the Dalaran and will want to exchange it with something precious with her visions so she had found Rafaam and offered him that The most Precious thing in exchange should only be given by old gods so they are bringing Dalaran to Deathwing because all of the Old gods are imprisoned. The ultimate plan will be Lazul's in my opinion, not Rafaam's. Rafaam is just want to sell Dalaran. He is an ethereal and he only wants trade.

So in light of all these, Dragon Aspects will not want Old Gods have Dalaran and fight with them to save it unlike LoE. LoE just wanted to save Uldum, not Dalaran.

- There is also a great opportunity to bind lores together like how Malygos got mad and fight with all Azeroth for defending that " Mortals should not use magic.". The changing lights of Lazul's cards make me think about how Malygos changed sides and also the lights are golden and purple. It might be also about Nozdormu and Murozond.

These are only my personal speculations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So as you can see, There are great opportunities and so much possibilities. I hope Team 5 used those opportunities and make a wonderful lore-related expansion.

For the cards and our experience, I really only can say about Dragons and Draconic Lackey. I don't think there will be a "choose one"-like mechanic. And I'm %50 sure of new Nozdormu, Ysera, Malygos and Alexstrasza. They greatly fit the theme of Paladin, Druid, Mage and Hunter.

I love all those ideas. What class would you like to see more dragons added to the most?

Used Highlander Hunter on NA (9/0 from 8 to R5), Tempo Rogue on EU cuz Shaman was so prevalent, 6/1 from 7 to R5). Set for the next month.
