Comments
Has there been an explicit discussion about the "After your last turn" mechanic? Unless I'm mistaken the phrase seems new to this expansion. Meaning the battlecry can be activated by events on your opponents turn or your current turn. I find the phrase just a tad clunky on the surface, but I'm starting to appreciate that this is a new conditional for cards. Are there examples from current or past sets?
Your understanding of how it works is correct, and it's basically the undead trigger, akin to "if you're holding a dragon" and "if you played an elemental last turn". I don't think there are any examples of it previously.
It's definitely one that somewhat confuses me with its wording. It doesn't feel as... intuitive as the previous examples AngryShuckie brought up, but sounds like their best attempt at translating an effect that also includes the opponent's turn within it. As you noted, not something we've seen as such.
This card does seem subpar at a glance, and it does. But I do have a specific deck idea where this card would help a ton.
Fucking weirdos downvoting for no reason.
I agree that some people do downvote for no reason, for example Hype an archetype they despise: instant downvoted.
However yk lets try keep things polite, if everyone had the same opinion we wouldnt discover new interesting things.
There's a reason why people are downvoting you actually, but that's alright. Not everyone has to agree with what anyone says. There's no need to take a random disagreement from a random forum personally.
Vilespine Slayer would not even come close to seeing play if it was in Standard right now. This card won't see play either
Not to mention that the condition is far from ignorable and even harder to fulfill on Rogue.
4 mana 2/5 destroy a minion and poisonous. This card has crazy value. Will definitely see play in Concoction Rogue.
Its conditional removal, and the conditions are so predictably inconsistently fulfilled that I can't see this card ever triggering its battlecry on something that matters.
Fact of the matter is this card is very likely worthless, because rogue in 2022 have proven time and time again that it doesn't rely on removal all that much, because they're usually doing something more important, like pressuring face or drawing tons of cards, or more often than not, both.
The only good thing about this card is that played as a 4 mana minion its very difficult to remove without actually having to throw at least a minion at it, and that may be worthwhile in arena, but in constructed its only ever threatening to midrange decks, or specifically classes that rely on board like hunter/paladin. And let's not forget that playing this minion means youre spending 4 mana to do nothing in particular, not even to pressure face or setup the next turn.
I dunno, removal on a stick has historically found its place in rogue (think Vilespine Slayer and Flik Skyshiv), and Denathrius has encouraged more decks to put stuff on the board than we usually see, so there's hope for the card.
Of course, this removal is more conditional than previous options, but it does leave a better body (2/5 with poisonous > 4/4) and rogue is a class that has a decent number of undead minions by accident as it gets forsaken characters far more frequently than other classes do. It may ultimately be too awkward, but there are enough points in its favour that I'd have to try it out before saying that with any confidence.
So same thing I said ok.
Maybe, but it pays to give deeper explanations, especially with situational cards like this which need several things to align.
Do you really have to over analyze every card lol?
Predictable or not they can't just leave your minions on the board. This card will see play if undead rogue is good.
Not to mention you can shadowstep this and destroy 2 minions for 6 mana and maintain board. The card is nuts. Vilespine Slayer 2.0
Our site isn't just a news feed, even tho it is OK if some users treat it like that, we try to cater to a broader spectrum after all. But we also like to encourage conversation and are happy when people engage. You are free to your opinions as well, but don't put down others for theirs. We are more than happy for a full out comments or discussion starters. Not responding is also a right anyone has, sometimes saying nothing is better than saying something, one could take their own advice ;-)
If one is willing to do it, then yes
good joke
No.
Bunch of nonsense
I personally appreciate when other user come here and give their own analysis on the new cards.
Some people live up to the hype of a card, other people prefer breaking down every information: everyone has their cup of tea.
Just sharing my thoughts. And yes, they are that long, if not longer.
On this card though, youve summed up my thoughts exactly. If there were a rogue deck that's 2/3rds undead, and playing for board, then yes this card would be strong. But I simply dont see any indication of that as yet. Looking at the renditions of tempo rogue available right now, and comparing it with the best rogue deck currently possible, I can say it'll take a lot, and I mean alot, to dislodge miracle rogue from its perch. I mean, jackpot rogue is doing better than pirate rogue right now, and that more or less sums up what I think about the possibilities of an undead tempo rogue.
I have my own opinions about concoction rogue too, but I'll wait until the official reveal happens. Still dont think this card would feature in it, unless something weird happens.
