"To many of my people, I am known as a traitor... as Illidan's lapdog. I will remain in the shadows, for now... Actually, maybe I'll just remain in the shadows forever."
Is this guy viable in the current meta? I want to fit it in a stealth rogue deck.
This card's voiceline confuses me...I have no master...not anymore!
Does he he mean he had no master but now does..or is he just repeating himself?
Forgive my english
it means he had a master (Illidan) and now he doesn't, since he rebelled against him
After playing this for few days still can't decide if it's good or not.
The 3 drop is pretty solid for any Rogue archetype, both for aggro or if you just want to secure board presence and fight for it.
The prime version, however, feels a bit too steep at 6 mana. You kinda have to draw it fast after shuffling for it to have any decisive impact, and even then, it just feels like a lot of tempo loss to pay for a 6/5 which its aim is to go face 90% of the time anyway. If the game is close, it's a terrible card, and if you're losing it's straight up dead. But if you're ahead it's kinda like a delayed Leeroy, but which your opponent has a chance to react to.
But of course all of that without considering the way you can cheese and take advantage of this, like drawing it for 0 with Galakrond or Togwaggle; or shuffling multiple copies of it into your deck and drawing them with Stowaway. But I don't feel like the latter is very effective because like I said, at 6 mana, you're using most of your turn to just put a 6/5 in play that won't interact with the board. So it's a win-more card, and as we know with win-more cards, you'd probably win without them most of the time anyway.
Isn't Akama a shaman?
No! He became a rogue when he teamed up with Maiev... thus betraying who he was in the first place.
Also, I made this story.
Stowaway synergy for drawing the Akama Prime probably ran with Waxadred for value. Idk.

too good to not be reposted
Wait, if this Is the rogue prime, what about maiev?
prime's permanent stealth doesn't break with hunter's flare...
