I agree with most of what you're saying but Mimic pod has become one of my favorite cards in rogue recently. You can draw almost anything in rogue and be happy that you've gotten two of them, examples being Arcane Giant, evicerate prep, lee roy, sherazin, ect. I like this card but if there are not that many good death rattle effects out there in standard then I dont see this card being played in that format.
But you're not building a deathrattle deck around this card, you're building it around the insane value/tempo of N'Zoth, the Corruptor. This card is just to help you get to your N'Zoth, the Corruptor just a little bit more quickly.
Does this card triggers Gadgetzan Auctioneer multiple times, bc it gets "cast" again?
no because it's recasted by the spell, not by the player.
You actually have to 'play' the card from your hand to trigger the effect of gadgetzan, arcane giant, yogg saron, etc
BONESTORM!
Don't forget Ram Wrangler has the same art as a tutorial minion: Crazed Hunter.
Seems like it's primarily only a Combo activator.
I want to like this card, but im pretty sure it will just work on 2 ways.
you draw a single card or you draw cards until you start to mill yourself.
Actually it's the Sixth one or even more
But what's wrong about using old arts if they are good?
Worse Shiv
Not worse. Because Shiv always draws one card and this card can draw more than one card if you're lucky.
who's going to be the first person to mill themselves turn 2 with this? XD
If it works like wrathion then you can't kill yourself
Seems similar to Wrathion but a spell, question is how many deathrattle minions you can put into deck while still deck being good. Not to mention that anything that has synergy with deathrattle while not being a deathrattle minion will be dead draw for this...
so... what the game is telling me to do is... Not make a deck of 29 deathrattles and one roll the bones?
That said in terms of a class where a spell is cast several times... Rogue makes me a tad scared. Combine this with gadgetzan auctioneer and you've got a pretty big draw engine (his effect triggering "whenever you cast a spell") and with mana addict or red mana wyrm you could get a pretty high attack minion. I mean just imagine the combo. You get one red mana wyrm, conceal, and then play roll the bones in a deck with only deathrattle minions. If you survive then all you would need for an otk would be 14 or so deathrattle minions in your deck.
Imo it should work because:
1. Red Mana Wyrm got the following effect "Whenever you cast a spell, gain +2 Attack." and this card literally says "cast this again" .
2. When you play Yogg-Saron, Hope's End yogg casts the spells not you and that is why it doesn't activate the effect of Red Mana Wyrm .
Edit: though it might not work because both yogg and roll the bones got similar text "cast a random spell..." and "... cast this again". What I want to say is this card may actually cast a copy of itself.
If it has Deathrattle, cast again. If not, sucks to be you.
