Taunt, kinda stickey, gives value as a deathrattle, gives intel about what's in your opponents hand, and it's a deathrattle minion so you get the effect again from the hero card... Yeah this is a really good option for any slower priest decks. Questline priest might also run it because its a 4 cost card, and i think they dont have many good 4 drops? (At least from what i remember) and it generates another card that might progress questline, which is something questline priest loves. So yeah i think this will be a pretty good card.
Good for implock, but i feel like it fits into Handlock as well. Why? Dark Alley Pact summons a imp, and you can then Imp-oster for another giant imp.
In wild, remember that Envoy Rustwix is counted as a Imp (At least i remember one of the devs saying that Rafaam can resummon Rustwix) so i guess you can use Imp-oster for even more primes in a meme deck, which is cool!
Hmm this has to have some OTK potential, but i can't really tell what though. Still i think this might be a sleeper card everyone needs to look out for.
Really easy to trigger Assassinate for warlock, i kinda like it. Also it's a fire spell, which warlock doesn't have that many off, which is its downside as well. Warlock doesn't have much synergy for fire spells, which kinda hurts this card. However i still think it will see play in some control warlock decks.
Really good secret. This makes sure Halkias has a guaranteed secret your opponent can't trigger, and it also gives some more secret value as well. This seems really good for a couple rogue decks, and it might fool your opponent in trying to play around lets say that one secret that triggers when they spend all their mana, making their turn more akward. This has a lot of potential honestly.
Hmm seems interesting to say the least. Seems pretty good in Draka decks, but at the same time it can be akward to topdeck after you use edwin as a draw engine. Looking forward to how rogue will use this card in the future.
Matt says they have started to talk about the question of adding female versions of Silver Hand Recruit.
Seriously?! Wtf?! Can you please just stop with this "politically correctness" bullshit and "gender equality" and every god damn other stuff like this in video games and movies and such???
It's a video game! Stop making stupid forced changes! We have enough of them from all Hollywood movies lately and they don't do anything. It's not like gender or race disparities are gonna disappear just because you make games or movies that include everything. You want equality? - implement laws, NOT forced changes.
Next up you're probably gonna design a card that shows two men/women kissing, just because in your mind it's ok to make kids playing this game curious about how it feels to kiss persons of the same gender. I can only hope you people see how wrong this is for the said kids.
This society (starting with the american one) has gone to crap...

Been wanting a Viego nerf for a long time now, the champion does too much for 5 mana. Daybreak buffs are welcome, it's a straightforward midrange deck and the game could use more of those. Timelines, Sermon and Hate Spike nerfs are welcome; Decimate and Harrowing nerfs are surprising. Variety champion buffs are good to see, even though I don't play any of those. There seems to be an attempt to make big spiders viable with buffs to Shrieking Spinner, Twisted Treeline and Vilemaw.
The biggest miss seems to be not nerfing Nami decks
Redundant at best. Naga priest have reasons to not play too many spells, and this card is so slow, and cannot save the board from freeze effects or board wipes, something naga priest struggles from. Plus, its an eye watering 3 mana. Its hard enough to stick something down, now we're playing this card instead of wig+nagas?
The only reason why I dont think its completely shit is because there's a chance you run this in bless priest as a sort of ultimatum for your massive taunt from Boon of the Ascended. That's it really.
That's good solid stuff. All forms of midrange-control priest will play it because its a functioning card in all situations. Not flashy, unlike most other priest cards tend to be, but at least its not shit, something most priest cards also tend to be as well.
Alright this card is fairly shit. But let's explore from another perspective.
This card will always kill its target, costs only 1, and with cards like Mysterious Visitor makes stolen cards cheap. In other words, this card is a cheap swing option that might just work.
But yes, its mostly going to be shit. Because a reactive card that only does something when other cards are played is one thing. But having the other card be a card that is obtained via rng, that's a whole lot of dung being shoveled just so this card can do something other removal options do so effortlessly, like The Light! It Burns! for instance. So why?
Cards like these are honestly impossible to evaluate because right now, despite its power, it looks completely unplayable.
But it being a shadow spell that resurrects a minion for 3 mana, there's potential here for some sort of shenanigans play. Imagine bringing back some crazy win con like Malygos, or just plain Humongous Owl. Combine this with tamsin and that's 4 owls which technically is an OTK or at very least a board clear.
I can see this being core in the future, certainly.
Its a card for controlock or questlock, because there's no reason whatsoever to play assasinate in any other warlock deck. But I will concede that it can get better, because right now there's somewhat a lack of cards that damages warlock cheaply.
Had this been a card in the previous rotation it would be 4 stars, because Raise Dead makes this such a convenient swing option. Oh well
Its an imp so it goes into implock. Sometimes you make a massive threat with library and this one card becomes a 2 mana giant.
But outside of implock there's really no reason to run a card that can never be good on its own. Unless there's some crazy imp minion in the next few expansions, this card is just a meh that's thrown into a deck by virtue of its race.
The more I think and compare this to Blademaster Okani the more I like this card. You can legit play vault+phantasms, make a massive threat and then drop this down, completely shitting on your opponent because there's no guarantee of topdecking answers nor is it guaranteed that the left side is a board clear. Okani can do the same, but sometimes your opponent keeps the coin specifically for this so that can whiff, while this card is effective upwards to about turn 5-7, before fizzling up somewhat in the end game.
If it gets too hot chances are good players will start keeping board clears on their left side, or this card gets nerfed to 5. Because there's nothing like saying fuck you than forcing your opponent to skip a turn.
Its basically your go to for Halkias, and honestly I'd say that you can genuinely just throw halkias into any rogue build so long as you have this and maybe another secret option. The fact is that this card cannot be countered means your halkias is only ever vulnerable to transform effects, which means more 5 damage to face.
And of course, being a secret that cannot be triggered on your opponent's turn means your opponent will do all sort of bs testing only to discover much to their annoyance that its this card, a card that adds more problems to their later turn.
I think secret rogue is only two cards away from being tier 2. And this card will be one of those 2.
Its not too bad. The fact is that whenever rogue is playing their draka turns they simply cant affect board that much so this card allows to stabilize while going face with your other stuff. Plus, essentially this card is just a token for Shadowstep to add more fuel to both graveyard and draka while taking value trades at the same time.
At least by running this instead of the gnolls you need not play stuff like maestra, which is essentially a dead card most of the time. This card is hardly going to push rogue a tier or two but remains a decent option should you build around miracle.
