Two New Castle Nathria Rogue Cards Revealed by Xeno - Private Eye & Sticky Situation

They are definitely fine together. I wonder if the biggest reason they don't generally do it is because they want to strongly incentivise combo activation as the core part of rogue gameplay, and having a half-strength version as a battlecry …

Kidnap is a New Rogue Secret Coming to Hearthstone in the Castle Nathria Expansion - Revealed by Blizzard

Lol. That butterknife isn't helping him get out of that bind.

I assume you can [card]Shadowstep[/card] the sack and make the opponent cry. Would that be like HS's version of Stockholm syndrome when you then play the minion on …

Two New Castle Nathria Rogue Cards Revealed by Xeno - Private Eye & Sticky Situation

Since combo seems overwrites the battlecry, they only really work together for scaling effects, meaning we kinda have seen it lots of times with all the Edwin-eqsue cards, including the 2 we got this expansion.

The alternative is to …

Halkias is a New Rogue Legendary Card Revealed by Flurry for Murder at Castle Nathria
Quote From dapperdog

There's about 5 more rogue cards left, so there's bound to be at least 2 secrets, because the current crop of secrets in rogue are fairly abysmal.

What "current crop"? There are …

Halkias is a New Rogue Legendary Card Revealed by Flurry for Murder at Castle Nathria

Well would you look at that, a rogue deathrattle. And one that costs 4 too so it can actually work well with [card]Sketchy Information[/card], and indeed it's kinda like [card]Korrak the Bloodrager[/card]'s weird cousin.

I guess the question will …

A Summary of Hearthstone Developer Insights - Returning Characters, Wildseed Beasts & More

Not quite. There are beings native to the Shadowlands that didn't get there after a mortal life. Denathrius was created along with the other Covenant leaders, and he himself created the venthyr like Renathal, so some, if not all the …

Rogue access to all secrets idea
Quote From NegativeNemsy

Highly doubt the devs would let you do this in the deck construction phase. This type of experimentation is what modes like duels are for. We don't know what is coming in the next 4 …

Rogue access to all secrets idea

First off, I have no expectation that the idea I present below will actually happen. I just wanted to put it out there to bring in other thoughts and opinions since I find it a surprisingly interesting possibility that's worth …

Convoke the Spirits is a New Druid Card Revealed by Rarran for Murder at Castle Nathria - Updated

The pool of Druid spells is pretty narrow, so you can be fairly sure [card]Convoke the Spirits[/card] will summon a bunch of minions, buff them, and draw a bunch of cards... and reasonably often cast [card]Celestial Alignment[/card] and piss off …

Sesselie of the Fae Court is a New Castle Nathria Card Revealed by Blizzard

I'm not sold on it being a strong card, but that doesn't mean an 8/8 with taunt can "easily be ignored". Unless you have enough reach to kill the druid with spells that turn, ignoring it really isn't an option.

Three Cards Revealed by Roger for Castle Nathria, Including New Demon Hunter Legendary

Yeah, there's definitely some strange choices with how they converted the DH theme into mechanics, and the (big) demon stuff is chief among them. As far as I'm aware the way DH's use demons in lore is never something the …

Three Cards Revealed by Roger for Castle Nathria, Including New Demon Hunter Legendary

As I've replied elsewhere, the effect of Bibliomite is fine on its own. It's just weird to be different to what Kryxis does when they achieve very similar things mechanically, and we'd expect them to be the same due to …

Three Cards Revealed by Roger for Castle Nathria, Including New Demon Hunter Legendary

I don't mind Bibliomite by itself at all. What I don't understand is why two minions of the same race, in the same set, in the same class are using different mechanics (shuffling vs discarding) to achieve essentially the same …

Three Cards Revealed by Roger for Castle Nathria, Including New Demon Hunter Legendary

I don't flip my shit when DH gets new stuff - I actually thought the sigils would be a good way for DH to distinguish itself, and hopefully they keep getting printed. I just get annoyed that nearly everything new …

Three Cards Revealed by Roger for Castle Nathria, Including New Demon Hunter Legendary

While on paper I don't disagree, in practice these don't hold up all that well because:

  • I don't know if I have ever seen a DH reach fatigue and lose because of it. While edge cases do exist, …

Three Cards Revealed by Roger for Castle Nathria, Including New Demon Hunter Legendary

Wait, why did [card]Bibliomite[/card] go through all the faff of shuffling the card back into the deck if DH discards now anyway? Also, why is DH discarding now? 2+ years on and the class still hasn't convinced me it brings …

The Harvester of Envy is a New Legendary Priest Card Revealed by RPP for Castle Nathria

As it stands, I don't see this being anything more than a meme card. Priest doesn't have many ways to generate copies of opponent's cards (I'm sure we'll see a few in this set...), but even assuming that isn't an …

Ghastly Gravedigger is a New Rogue Card Revealed by Gamespot for Murder at Castle Nathria

Extending what Demonxz95 said below, rogue is probably the most diverse class thematically (covering spies, assassins, thugs, thieves, con-men, alchemists, pirates, ninjas and anything vaguely sneaky or dishonest), while paladin sits alongside DH as the most narrow (they're all righteous …

Ghastly Gravedigger is a New Rogue Card Revealed by Gamespot for Murder at Castle Nathria

To be fair, the flavour is pretty good here: he's digging the grave for/burying someone who's been secretly murdered. He's not digging up a previous corpse like [card]Shallow Gravedigger[/card] was.

That said, as a rogue main I do acknowledge …

Necrolord Draka is a New Legendary Rogue Card Revealed by 4Gamer for Castle Nathria

It's pretty clear there will be ways to enable miracle-esque turns for this and [card]Sinstone Graveyard[/card] that we have not yet seen, so I'll hold off on analysing Draka's power. For now all I can think of is using UiS's …
