In the most hypothetical of draws, you could be swinging a 5/5 and dropping a 7/7 on turn 2. 7/7 and 9/9 with a mimic pod shadowstep. Going second you start with 5 cards. With 2x prep mimic pods into shadowstep you coin this out and bounce it 4 times. You drop a 9/9 onto the board and next turn you obviously draw the second hopper and drop an 11/11.
Imagine this in Quest Rogue...oh god...
Yea I can imagine this mighty 4-4 going down on board after you completed your quest.. oh god..
Actually they will be 4/4 + Battlecry effect. So quest buffs them up by +3/+3
Other thing is that quest rogue doesn't need it. Since it's main source of damage after quest are chargers. Also this is 2 mana cost card which is sometimes hard to bounce with pandas even tho they will grow bigger with each bounce
lol you clearly never played when Quest Rogue came out because EVC used to be played in the deck and still received his buff post quest completion.
Guys
just think for a moment
Breathe
Relax your muscles.
Now scream, JADE ROGUE IS GUDDAMN BACK BABY
Blink Fox --> Glinda Crowskin (Survives the turn)--> 5 x Pogo Hopper will be fun RNG.
I will try to do that combo: Pogo-Hopper + Lab Recruiter + Shadowstep (The recruiter) + Lab Recruiter + Shadowstep + Lab Recruiter + Youthful Brewmaster + Lab Recruiter + Sprint/ Elven Minstrel
Reminds me of Jade Druid, they always comeback bigger and bigger.
First nerf candidate so far. This card gonna break the game like Quest Rogue, or jades did.
this card may not be the best in the world, but OH MY GOD I WANT TO PLAY A DECK AROUND THIS. Gang up guy on gang up guy--> gang up guy on pogo--> infinite pogos. New jade golem boysss
I'm confused. It says "for each other Pogo-Hopper played" so, if you bounce it back and play it again doesn't count right? you have to maybe clone it with Lab Recruiter or Sonya right?
That was my inicial thought .. I hope so.
The guy says in the video that Shadowstep and Vanish will work. I assume Blizzard would have given him confirmation before he made the video so that he wouldn't reveal Fake News™.
That's incorrect... Battle cries still work. This is a battle cry....
Can we talk about how this is just faster jades for as long as you can find a way to make more or bounce them?
seems like my girl Valeera got some love in BD, thx to devs.
No it doesn't actually: Zones in Hearthstone are defined as areas where cards are hosted: your deck, your hand, in play, and in the graveyard. In Hearthstone, there is a general forward-moving flow through zones. Whenever a card moves forward in that flow (Deck -> Hand, Hand -> Play, Deck -> Play), it retains enchantments.
If a card moves backwards in zones (Play -> Hand, Hand -> Deck, Play -> Deck, Play/Hand/Deck -> Graveyard and Graveyard -> Play/Hand/Deck), it loses enchantments
I was so sure, that a mechanical beast would be a Druid or Hunter card.
So, this is supposed to be played with the Rogue quest... Hopefully it doesn't need to get nerfed a third time, eh Team 5? Hope you thought this through.
Anyway, the bunny is a cool card. A pretty simple, basic mechanic that can become quite scary over time. With other strong battlecries in Rogue like Fal'dorei Strider and of course Lab Recruiter, and Sonya Shadowdancer for super value trades, I can see this as a new type of deck, that bounces, draws and shuffles a lot, and produces lots of scary minions over time. Could be fun.
Pinata, Pogo Hopping Bunnies, Saturday cartoon villains and space sci-fi goblin agents. Yes clearly this truly represent Warcraft and is inline with the lore.
Anyways the card is clearly meant to be played as a Jade Golem phase 2 card when used with Lab Recruiter and Elven Minstrel but Rogues can probably have a better deck plan than Pogo-Hopper
They said a few expansions ago that they weren’t strictly using Warcraft lore. That’s why they took it out of the title of the game.
