..........................'You draw a card. Add 2 EXTRA copies of >IT< to your hand'
You play Thistle Tea, you draw for example a Ragnaros, and then you ALSO get 2 EXTRA copies of Ragnaros. Result: 3 Ragnarosses in your hand, nothing more nothing less.
You just got teabagged by a rogue! Gravity is an okay force once that force is with you i guess
Very RNG based, but the flavor of the card is pretty cool. I like the poison/alchemy side that Old Gods has taken so far for rogue. The card could lead to some funny circumstances.
All rogue decks have tech cards like Sharpsword Oil, Prep, Sprint, Backstab, Fan, Sap, etc. By tech i mean that this cards are good in complimenting each other helping do deal with different situations.
The fact that such cards as i mentioned are used and even in 2x copies in every rogue deck means that there is a decent chance to get duplicates on this while skipping your turn. This is unacceptable because rogues can't take too much facial damage so with a great odds you will just loose. Getting 3 x eviscerates or at least deadly poisons is dream but c'mon what is the chance of that happening. Even if you get a 3 x copies of good minion it doesn't actualy matter because you will lose tempo and opponent will have a chance to trade more efficiently with damage buffs, removals, etc.
This is moderately good only in mill rogue or topdeck mode thats it. I don't get people who think this card is good. wtf?
How does Chromaggus combo with Thistle Tea?
Would you draw 6 cards? Or only 4?
I would suspect that by the wording of the card, Chromaggus would duplicate the initial card drawn for a total of 4 copies of that card. You aren't drawing the subsequent 2 copies.
That seems correct, Chromaggus only works for drawn cards, not cards that are added to your hand, likeNefarian
I guess 4.
Draw 1. Chromaggus duplicates it. And Thistle Tea adds 2 copies of it.
Yogg-Saron buff
Wow, this is a significantly worse fusion of Arcane Intellect and Duplicate
wht??? Rogue designer should resign. Garbage card.
After some thought I think this is actually a pretty good rouge card because of combo. If your playing a combo heavy deck and you draw three of a combo card you can afford to play one or two copies without activating the combo. This is huge. Getting 3 eviscerates or 3 shadow pans. Playing one eviscerate to enable another combo doesn't seem so bad when you just drew 3 . Dropping a Shadow pan without first enabling his combo is also not so bad. Or you get something that enables combos such as backstab or preparation and suddenly just tossing one off with no real effect other than to activate your combo in hand doesn't seem that bad. About the worst draw I can think of in my combo deck with this card would sprint. God sprint would suck.
Just like every other rogue card... utter garbage, but fun and I will totally run this :D
it does not damage it essentially becoms a 0mana do nothing card. (Same function as Chromaggus).

Indeed, that is how it would work.
Why card name is thistle tea? This is a rogue card and the effect is like a fraud, fake money printing. Name should be forgery.

consumable that used to refill Energy for Rogue.
Oh! Thank you.
This card is garbage. Spend whole turn to draft 3xcards. If it will be like 3 X Sprints, 3 x Fans or Backstabs or Preps it's just auto-loooose. Even if it is 3 x Assasinates / Saps or Ragna/Maly - goses it will be pretty terribad. It will see play at maximum during the first week after expansion thats it. Even if used with prep sprint is better alternative. Praying to Topdeck legendaries with this? gl! Just too many tech cards in rogue decks in general which imply to combo DIFFERENT cards.
I wonder who design THIS for rogue. The effect of this card should be swapped with mage's Cabbalist Tome. Having duplicates is valuable for mage, not for rogue. just swap effects on those cards ffs.
