At this point, we're not going to bother putting in those paragraphs that the set was leaked anymore. You guys get the idea at this point.
Anyway, today it's time we paid Rogue a visit in the black void known as space to see what kind of mischief they're preparing for The Great Dark Beyond with some cards revealed on day 11.

Comments
Quasar - The one card that's been attracting alot of attention. Partially because its unique, and also because there's been levels of copium over what is very likely a shit card. Let's get some positives out first; this card does well with other draw cards like knickknack shack which can be setup earlier. Unfortunately, I'd like to ask what exactly is it going to accomplish that rogue already cannot do without? The answer: very little. Plus, lets not forget the fact that this card is 6 mana and therefore you'd very likely be dead trying to contrive this card to work.
Talgath - Alright, this card is shit isnt it? We already have Enchanter in standard that doesnt see play in rogue, so what is this doing? At best youd put this is a combo rogue deck because it fits the theme and ultimately still gives you a 4 damage card to immediately use with.
Pressure Points - Unironically might be the best card for rogue this set because the potentiality of setting up an OTK with eviscerate, sonya etc. cannot be taken lightly.
The Gravitational Displacer - Alright, rogue starship 'payoff'. Yes it does summon a copy of the starship, which is theoretically good value, but you first need this to be played without dying, play this without dying, and then this card needs to actually die, also without you dying. Bear in mind this card literally does nothing until the starship is launched. Yeah, I can feel the shittinest of this card. Also, if it so happens this card gets mind controlled, or transformed, you just lost your payoff.
I'll address the starship for rogue: team5 went and just shrugged their shoulders. I cannot see anyone make a deck out of the starship because the payoff is ambiguous, its literally parts from other classes, and the fact that you have to shove so many cards into the deck just to make it work. I can only assume you'd play the starship in a tess deck, but I cant see anything to suggest its gonna be good.
However, I do think the set is powerful simply because I can absolutely see sonya rogue make a comeback with pressure points as the focal point of the deck. And that will indeed be the obsession of all rogue players until team5 inevitably nerfs the deck, because no rogue deck of this sort ever escapes the nerf hammer.
Don't think of Talgath as an Enchanter, think of it as an SI:7 Agent with an extra bonus tagged on. SI:7 Agent doesn't see play anymore, but maybe doubling the damage it deals and making it easier to clear the rest of the board is the nudge it needs.
Had this been nothing more than a common card then fine. But its a legendary card with an effect thats just so mundane. That's mostly my problem with it.
Its not even like its quasar, where you can perhaps imagine it being better with added support. This card is as you say, just a buffed up SI:7 agent.
But all that said, it would probably see play in a combo rogue deck but otherwise I cant see how a better SI7 agent is even relevant in todays hearthstone.
I really don't like Rogue's Starship gimmick in this set.
Every other class gets their own cool pieces, and Rogue's only piece is a Legendary that literally does nothing until you launch the Starship. Everything else is just taking everyone else's pieces.
Just because Burgle is a mainstay mechanic in Rogue doesn't mean that it needs to be involved everywhere. Why can't Rogue have their own Starship pieces?
I kind of like the steal other classes' parts and combine them into a big ship. It sounds cool.
I do agree however that Burgle has been "the thing" for Rogue for too long. Even has someone who likes it, I wish they'd push other directions again just for variety.
That said I do love the combo stuff this set. Looks fun and Lucky Comet seems like a dangerous card to print. Just asking to be broken!
Retire Tess Greymane for a year and give Anka, the Buried, Edwin VanCleef, Captain Hooktusk or heck even Gral, the Shark a chance in standard!
Surely Quasar is stupid, right? You don't draw any cards from it, needing help from other sources to get them back. Imagine getting hit with that from Yogg - you might as well concede.
Deck discounts have historically been quite strong. The cost of shuffling your hand is high no doubt. Still I wonder if this won't see some use, especially in wild. Rogue has plenty of card draw. With enough spells or if they ever make another Spectral Pillager that can go face it could be scary. It's probably still to slow even with a perfect hand with prep or other discounts. Still It has some potential.
Oh, no problem - just cheat out your titan, play quasar, then draw to fill hand. I guess then you have to uninstall the game though because you will never be that lucky ever again.
