Wish they just appoint someone to take over Dean's AMA, because the structure of all the original tweets feel like a clusterfuck.

Just wanted to comment on the secret rogue bit. It doesn't have to be this way, just change Kidnap to work before battlecries and secret rogue would be a respectable deck. The main reason why secret rogue is current shit is because the whole set is designed around disruption and yet the main secret to do that does fk all and is largely a liability.

That said, they can revisit this in the next core set rotation. Secret rogue is far from a foregone conclusion.

Finally got my question answered

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

Orion's not even good and they're already printing hate cards lmao

 

Though it makes me wonder, is there a deck that benefits from their own secrets not triggering for a while?

Orion is good trust me, its just not so good in standard because of the poor secret package. If team5 puts Duplicate into standard that changes everything.

Played it in wild (for the achievement obviously) and I can barely get two secrets triggering without my opponent conceding. Its hilarious when its niche, I'd imagine it cancerous when its meta.

Theft Accusation is sitting right next to a Warlock card (Arson Accusation) that has one of the lightest play restrictions in Hearthstone while doing the same thing. Team 5 doesn't care if the card is good. They put in some blinkered verion of symmetry and took off early from work.

Thief Priest will be trash (in Standard). Incriminating Psychic is interesting for Quest Priest, however, as it generates another card that can meet a quest requirement and puts a 6-Health stall on the board. I doubt it's worth it, though, as it doesn't actually solve many problems.

Clear Conscience means that Pelagos sticks on 6 nearly all of the time, save for against Druid and Control Priest. That's worth my time, though what card Wig Priest loses for it isn't immediately clear. This can also ensure that a tiny minion (Priestess Valishj) can be grown into a threat without enemy reprisal. Finally, it grants a buff that helps one stay in the game when you don't draw Wig and have to stall. The effect is actually broken, but in modern Hearthstone, merely broken isn't enough to draw concern. It's still less unfair than any top-tier card.

Clear Conscience is probably too expensive for a buff, and since naga priest dont need it I dont see where this goes. Certainly no control deck would play it.

Incriminating Psychic is good. 4 mana for a nice 2/6 taunt that also gives value that can be a game ender? That'll do me. But will thief priest be good itself? Now that's another question, because thief priest seems to only get better the less thief cards it actually haves in deck.

Theft Accusation is trash. A card that needs another card to be played before it does anything is one thing. That thing being rng generated from another card though? Just run Shadow Word: Death then. The Light! It Burns! does the same without any more backchat. Why the hell would this be played over that?

Imp-oster - Will go into imp lock, not sure if it'll do the same with imp-curselock. The main problem with this card is that its essentially only useful when you're in front, have a massive minion, or have an imp that's larger than a 2/2. In aggro that's fine, but there are just better cards in other archetypes.

Arson Accusation - This one is difficult to evaluate because warlock in standard dont tend to play or need an assasinate, even if its merely 2 mana to do so. Probably wont see play until controlock becomes a thing.

Habeas Corpses - Funny deathrattle support that'll be useful in a class that'll actually play deathrattles. Not entirely shit, because at very worse it'll kill something, but its true potential lies in the fact that combined with tamsin you'll get two minions back that may well be something like Malygos. Only time can tell what this would do, but it might turn out into something like a mini phylactery.

You can use both Gnoll and Scribbling Stenographer.
And it is much better than [Hearthstone Card (Frostwolf Warmaster) Not Found], being 4/4 is much better that 3/3 (as many spells do 3 damage and much less 3 damage) and Rush makes difference.
It is similar card but much better.

Perjury - the secret that'll scams your opponent into playing around secrets but isn't actually a secret because it discover other secrets on your turn. Good card. Rogue secrets are so shit that they need them from other classes

Scribbling Stenographer is just another bridge to a massive draka. It'll never truly come out on its own because that'll take a minimum of 6 cards and if your payoff is two 4/4 rushes then you're in trouble. But alongside a draka or a big sinstone graveyard turn? That's different.

Its comparable to Blademaster Okani in that the principal idea is that you'll likely reduced your opponent to playing only their topdeck because the leftside would be something big or a win con. Except this one is more consistent in the early game and less powerful the further you go.

Im not exactly sure if it'll replace okani, but its certainly an option. Turn 7 vault+phantasm plus this might just seal the deal most of the time.

Priest cards always seem annoying; whether they are any good or not is a different story. 

Clear Conscience seems like a gimmick. We've done this before with the Unicorn and it wasn't worth the trouble. Spell based removal is also not really all that common these days.

Psychic just seems overbalanced. Could have been a 3-mana 2/4.

Theft accusation sounds fun, but also impractical. Why play it when The LIght, it Burns does effectively the same job.

I am loving the Accusation spells so far. Each of them seems to be a class-flavoured Assassination. That said more support to thief priest is wonderful.

these look pretty fun! Accusation and Corpses could probably go well with a deathrattle warlock.

This looks exceptionally bad unless it just perfectly fits into your big spam turn.

Also, why do we keep pushing a Rogue deck that does nothing for 5 turns and then just wins out of nowhere? What happened to interactive gameplay?

ACtually a good secret. It's guaranteed to stick for a turn so you can curve it into the 3-drop and it gives you way more options for trickery

take my warning and never write shit on the toilet

My brother in christ you literally said it looks pretty weak. How else am I going to interpret that sentence?

I don't think its weak, just mediocre. It only has one niche compared to other Warlock removal options so I think it isn't that good. Then again, I haven't touched standard in a hot minute.

If i only have 4 mana and my left and right most cards cost 5+, does that mean i wont be able to play anything?

How does something that's basically Assassinate + card draw look weak to you?
