    Thanks to Disc Jockey and all the bounce cards in rogue, i think this will be quite a strong card. I think this will see a bunch of play, especially thanks to this having a immediate impact on the board thanks to rush.

    This seems nice, it generates a bunch of value and with Shadowstep, Breakdance and Bounce Around (ft. Garona) you can repeat this a lot, and while doing that your making your future Rhyme Spinners a lot bigger. (And probably generating some additional ones at the same time.) and your buffing Record Scratcher as well... This seems strong to me.

    Shadowstep is still in the core set... This will be quite a bunch of FACE dmg. *sighs*

    Welp this is STRONG. This makes it so you don't fall behind on board, and you can still bounce a lot of stuff. The only bad thing about this card is the fact that Shadowstep is still in the core set. But even then, i feel like people will still include both into most decks because bounce effects in rogue have always been strong.

    resfresh mana... in rogue?... 5 star card, will see a lot of play. And there are a lot of cheap combo cards like Ghostly Strike and Gone Fishin' and on top of that, Eviscerate is back in the core set..

    Thank yogg it's confirmed that this card CAN'T be discovered! This card is insane in so many decks, i think this might just see play in every rogue deck until it rotates. This is basically a mass Shadowstep which can be Preparationd out... This card is nuts.

    Edit: Also Shadow of Demise excists, so you can do this twice in a row....

    Eh, not sure about this card. This seems nice if rogue has a bunch of decent weapons, but outside of Swordfish i don't think rogue has any good ones that benefit from this. Also Assassin's Blade is not in core anymore, which i feel might be because it's too good with these weapon buff cards due to it's high durability.

    However once rogue gets more weapons with 3 or more durability this will probably be quite strong.

    Seems alright if you play this on curve. Turn 2 weapon into this is probably best case scenario? Because otherwise i don't see why you would play this. Rogue has better things then 3 mana draw 2 (*ahem* concoctions), and triggering the finale seems bad later into the game? Because WHY would you want to draw LAST? And this card makes you draw last to get the finale!

    Okay okay, i can only see 1 deck that might use this. Miracle rogue. Discount this to 0 mana with like a coin and Preparation, draw stuff and do more mana cheating. But even then, i'm not sure how good it will be. I feel like draw options from concoctions are better.

    So blingtron returns, with kinda meh stats and gives both players a weapon just like the original Blingtron 3000. I do like that! However this time around he spices things up a bit by giving you a weapon that's basically the same as the rogue hero-power weapon, but also gives your opponent a one-sided Voidtouched Attendant effect on a weapon. And you force your opponent to play a weapon in order to get rid of the debuff, or if their a rogue they are forced to either hero power or play another weapon. So most of the time you force your opponent to remove/break their weapon, which can mess with their gameplan or just buy you some time. And of course Shadowstep/Breakdance/Bounce Around (ft. Garona) can just bounce blingtron so you can keep annoying your opponent. Also there is the weapon buff package rogue is getting this expansion, and MC Blingtron gives you a weapon right away which is nice in case your previous weapon breaks.

    This seems alright to me, especially if you combo this with Astalor Bloodsworn. Or if you have a bunch of minions on board this can act like a finisher. If you break your opponents Record Scratcher or Idol's Adoration, then they will be quite sad. And MC Blingtron can prevent Jungle Jammer, Timber Tambourine, Arcanite Ripper and Jazz Basss effects from scaling.

    To me, MC Blingtron seems like a nice finisher/burst option, that can also function as weapon removal. Seems like a all around nice card, but i do think that MC Blingtron will mostly see play in more aggro/midrange rogue decks. 

    Also i guess Garona will be a rogue mini-set legendary?

    Interesting thing to remember is that this litterally shuffles a "snapshot" card into your deck, like how Elise the Trailblazer shuffles a un'goro pack. So this doesn't have the upside/downside (depending on how you look at it) of Dead Man's Hand filling your deck, and you can play the snapshot whenever your hand is almost empty. This seems good for control or OTK decks.

    One deck that MIGHT run this is Frost DK, because they can use this to dupe spells in their hand so they have a reload. Altough it can also mess with frost-spell synergy so that might be a little bit of anti-synergy. Blood DK can also run this to get more board clears or other valueable cards. Maybe control Paladin can also use this? This just seems like a really nice card for a lot of decks.

    This seems pretty good. Worst case scenario you force your opponent to play some plain 3 mana 3/3 mechs, which is actually not that bad. On curve this could guarantee you get 1 mech on the deathrattle, and forcing your opponent to play one, is yet again a good thing. if you force your opponent to play one of the mechs, then that's -1 turn for your opponent to do whatever gameplan they actually want to do. Additionally, this card can also be used to mill your opponent, which is a interesting thing to remember. 

    I think this card will see play in aggro/midrange decks.

    Tony, King of Piracy + The Fires of Zin-Azshari = bronze rank 10 due to the generated cards being better then most warrior cards. Finally a good warrior combo. :(

    Edit: Steamcleaner is a thing, so nvm that combo might be decent.

    Okay now seriously, this will see a bunch of play because some classes can abuse this card for some mean strats. One of these being The Jailer + Tony, King of Piracy. I think some warlock deck that uses The Jailer + Mal'Ganis might use Tony, King of Piracy as well as a back-up strat, in case the opponent manged to remove their board with a Twisting Nether like effect.

    I love this card. I love just adding a bunch of niche tech cards in the band, and picking one depending on the matchup. I think ETC will continue to see play in a lot of decks, and in Wild ETC is good in EVEN decks so they can get ODD Cost cards, and in Reno decks so they can get a 2nd copy of a card.

    Funny card and great flavor. This seems bad though. People will use the best cards in their decks, so it will probably discover garbage most of the time. of course this gets better near rotations, because then there will be a lot bigger pool of cards. So funnely enough this card will probably be a lot better after the 3th expansion releases this HS year, or right when it's about to rotate in a few years.

    However i think this might see play in a lot of warrior decks, because whatever is garbage for other classes is probably better than whatever warrior has right now. :(

    Must-include card for almost every deck. Weapon tutors are amazing, and every class gets a weapon this expansion. Also this might break wild because it can tutor Twig of the World Tree or Sphere of Sapience.

    Also comparing this to Axe Berserker is hilarious. And it's a better Weapons Expert in terms of just drawing a weapon. (Of course Weapons Expert has that +1/+1 buff which makes it better sometimes.) lol, warrior.

    This is interesting. Every class gets a weapon so this seems nice. Some classes may run this because +1 durability could help them swing with their weapon for 1 more turn, al the while charging their weapons effect up for longer. 

    Also in priest this seems decent. Giving Idol's Adoration +1 durability is quite nice, basically turns Air Guitarist into another Tour Guide as long as you have the weapon equiped.

    Seems really bad. And Glacial Shard comes back in the core set, which is way better than Annoying Fan.

    There is 1 important reason why this card exists, and no not just as a pack filler. It was confirmed that this card can be summoned from Annoy-o Horn which is a nerf to that treasure and Kazakusan... Although it also got buffed because Annoy-o-Troupe got added into the pool as well.

    great alongside Snakebite, Sinful Brand and Wrathscale Naga. This will be great in a outcast deck, or a token DH deck. (even though Token DH has never been that good.)

    This seems quite good thanks to SECURITY!! and Command the Illidari, and if it gets discounted by Rush the Stage it gets even better. I think this will see play.
