Does the Rogue Crystal Core mechanic affect played AND summoned minions? Are Jades affected? "Yes, both played and summoned. Also Frogs and Sheep. Pretty much everything gets turned into a 5/5." - Peter Whalem.
Crystal Core- does it make your minions 5/5 forever, i.e heal back up to 5 every time they take damage? "No, only when you play the reward or the minion is summoned. Not every turn - you can buff them after." - Peter Whalem.
What about before/after battlecries? Will an Edwin always be 5/5 or can you get him to 7/7, 9/9, etc? "If Edwin's in your hand/deck when you play the quest reward, he'll be 5/5 + 2/2 per card. If he's on the board, he'll be 5/5." - Peter Whalem.

Well, this opens some interesting possibilities. Just have to figure out where to find four same minions lol. Can jade golems be considered minions with same name?
This is so hard to evaluate. If you can finish this quest with any kind of consistency it seems good, but it just feels so inconsistent.
Also the nice thing is this will certainly be a skillful deck if it works. Getting a good mulligan and knowing what minion to commit to playing 4 copies of and when to commit will be huge.
With the cards that have been released so far and with the knowledge of how standard might look in JTU this card isn't looking so good. It's looking downright bad because rogue has been knowing to kill with its miracle variant through either spells, through large face damage, a mixture of the two, and mill. As the class currently stands this card seems very weak without heavy support for it. We need token generation, bounce mechanics, and a way to win that doesn't involve minions with more than 5/5 in stats. Maybe charge could work but this is going into a mid to early late game win condition that if you're not controlling the board you might be dead in the water. This card seems interesting but without more heavy support it looks dead on arrival.
*Edit* Maybe something where you control the board or at least fight for it while whittling down the opponents hp so you can get to a point where the quest spell is played you have a bunch of low cost chargers that become 5/5s for a burst at the end and maybe if you have enough bounce you can actually OTK but this is best case scenario at the moment without the rest of the expansion being shown.*
I totally forgot about return to hand stuff. Well, filling out the deck with cheap minions with battlecrys and some return to hand spells and minions it can be ok. 3 minions would have been ok, 4 can be a bit tough to pull. While the opponent is smacking your face, you're having fun with RETURNING minions to hand.

I didn't have a signature so Flux added one for me.

Is there a new token generator we don't know about?
Shifter and 2 copies of a card won't do the job, not without Thistle Tea and a crapload of luck.
I actually think this will be fairly easy to accomplish and probably a pretty relevant aggro-midrange deck.
Gadgetzan Ferryman ftw.
The required setup is too steep for the reward, I see no value in this at all.
At least the arts really nice
What is this hot trash? lol
What happens if your Thistle Tea or Mimic Pod miss minions?
Even if you accomplish the quest, you're essentially paying 5 mana to do NOTHING that turn.
Forget about making a giant Edwin VanCleef...
Errrr. No, thank you.
Yet another new theme for Rogues.

Return to hand rogue is real!

Too gimmicky. Rogue always gets the worst cards of the new set mechanics.
aggro roque incoming ?
What are you guys talking about? Just play it with Shadowstep and the only way your opponent will be able to counter it is Dirty Rat...
Unless rogue gets some kind of board-filler and more cloning stuff I don't see this seeing any play whatsoever
That's Incredible!

It says play, not summon.
Why u hav to be mad? is only card gaem.
Gadgetzan Ferryman makes sense now
Shon kempt AKA Classy Shawn aka Two Timin' Dean The Cat Fucker
Clearly, the Gadgetzan Ferryman synergy that we were all waiting for!
I like it, with some new releases it can become one of the most op card in the game.
