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 entertaining before next week's card reveals show it (probably) won't happen.

So what's the idea? Well, we know rogue is getting some secret stuff this expansion, but we don't yet know what the secrets themselves are. The idea is that there are no new rogue secrets, but instead the second rogue legendary lets you use secrets from other classes when building the deck.

Now, normally I'd be the first person to shoot down ideas about multi-class deck construction, but in this limited case my hunch is it might actually be OK. The primary reason being that secrets are rarely that good on their own, and their real strength almost always comes from the secret synergy cards instead. There are a few exceptions to that, but even most of the good secrets wouldn't suddenly cause any big crisis because the very nature of secrets puts control over their power into the opponent's hands. So the rogue couldn't really exploit some hitherto unavailable combo that usually plagues multi-class deck-building.

Plus of course, rogue's full list of secret synergies is currently very limited, being only Shadowjeweler Hanar, Blackjack Stunner, Sparkjoy Cheat and Ghastly Gravedigger. These aren't made significantly more dangerous by having access to the other classes secrets, and introducing all-class secret access while there's no dangerous synergies around would be the best time to do it.

The burgle rogue side of things is probably where real problems arise, though I'm not sure they matter much. Secrets are often quite good to get for Tess and Contraband Stash because you can guarantee they will be useful when re-played, but they do lose their secrecy in the process so they don't cause massive trouble. It's also already super easy to get cards from other classes into your hand for burgle synergies, so you don't really need to add out-of-class cards into the deck to make that easier (especially with Maestra around).

Currently the biggest issue I can think of is that Ice Block exists, and Wild won't be thankful for two of these being added alongside Evasion, Cloak of Shadows and Valeera the Hollow, especially as the Ice Blocks could be replayed a couple of times with things like Contraband Stash. That's really not fun to play against. At least anti-secret tech and Ashen Elemental exist for when that gets too obnoxious.

So what do you think? Have I missed something or is it a surprisingly plausible idea?

After the catastrophic and dooming events of my previous expansion, The Dawning Cataclysms, I feel that we all need a detour from the tense atmosphere, and instead of cries and screams, its cheers and ovations.

Let's clear the curtains, and welcome to the Goodwills Orchestra!

This expansion marks the second one in my still in progress hearthstone year, the Year of the Angler. Such charming notes that lure whoever listens to them into the maw of the act...

Instrumental to Go!

Goodwills Orchestra features the new keyword, Score. Music isn't always the same tone or intensity, and not all songs are played the same way, and thus you oughta keep the beat up to gain all of their perks. When someone goes off-sync or off-chord, unfortunately for most musicians it means starting all over again.

Examples of a triggered Score and an ongoing Score, respectively.

Scores don’t have to be completed in one turn, they keep the progress, however their progress will reset if the cards are not played in order, keep it all in sync!

Elusive will also be keyworded, as it should be, a good number of cards in this expansion contain this keyword, and I needed the space.

Never-Forever Songs

The beat may not last forever, but its impact will always remain remembered by the people.

Some cards in this expansion will feature “temporary cards” which will be discarded at the end of your turn if they haven’t been used; sometimes replenishable, these musicians are under your directions, so lead them appropriately.

Moving Inspirations

Oh marvelous minds have arrived, of great variety and types!

Each class will get their own musician associated to their respective theme, inspired by people or things in the music industry throghout its entire existance, these will be represented by their own Hero Cards.

Without further ado, let the show begin!
