As someone who enjoys making meme decks, this will slot nicely into a very slow, and greedy Hakkar deck
Man I thought this said Confetti Dagger in the headline :(
There should be interesting interaction with Majordomo Executus. If you gonna die by attacking as Ragnaros with Majordomo Executus's deathrattle on [Hearthstone Card (Counterfeit Dagger) Not Found], you will turn into Ragnaros again.
But would that avoid your death? I know that lifesteal is applied before the player death check, but I don't know about weapon deathrattles.
I guess it would have to be: if you copied the deathrattle from Deranged Doctor, you'd expect it to heal you before you die.
Well, here we go again. Let's see how they fail to make it work this time
It's also a 4/2 weapon; it doesn't need much upside to be good enough. Maybe copying the deathrattle of Sneaky Delinquent or Devouring Ectoplasm is already enough in an aggressive Rogue deck.
The last time they tried to make deathrattle rogue work we had Necrium Apothecary dominating the meta, so 'rattle rogue hasn't had the track record of failure you make it sound like.
Necrium was a failure because it didn't actually make Deathrattle Rogue. It made Cheese Rogue that uses a specific two part combo to just scam the game.
It's like saying Freeze Mage works because Spell MAge runs Brain Freeze
No, I think my assessment was fair. While 'rattle rogue has had a few looks over the years, the Boomsday -> DoD version (the 'Necrium' version I suppose) was designed from the ground up to be a 'cheese deck'. It was all about getting big deathrattles early and multiplying them.
Regardless of whether it fits with your idea of what a deathrattle deck looks like, the core of the deck was big deathrattles and deathrattle synergy cards. The deathrattles were not just some optional component like Brain Freeze is in spell mage.
Elwyn Boar support! (of course only for the last DR)
7'th boar trigger weapon. It won't work with 6 dead boars.
Mecha'thun + Deathwing.
Great Tempo card. Just need some good deathrattle minions.
My favourite archetype for rogue has practically been signalled.
So what's in it for rogue? At the moment not much. There's simply not many good deathrattles around for rogue unless you like to shuffle more pushies into your deck. But I remain optimistic that a card like this cannot exist without a few better deathrattles being printed for the class.
Honestly, that might not be such a bad plan. Rogue definitely has the draw now and the ability to shuffle multiple plushies while maintaining tempo and drawing into them on a regular basis doesn't sound horrible
We'll have to see if there's anything else coming in for deathrattle rogue. At the moment its staying alive and getting Ticket Master to die thats the problem. The weapon helps, but more is needed to make it at least tier 2.
