Curious about your opinions on this. Do you think the card is viable and maybe necessary in this meta for Rogue? I like the flavor of the card but sometimes it seems like an expensive tech card to add to any existing Rogue deck ( even Odd ) but the Rogue nerd in me wants the card to be quite good. So yeah, what is everyone's thoughts on this?
Absolutely. Myra's is a great addition to Odd Rogue. The deck can do a lot of damage very quickly but runs out of steam fast if you take that approach against control decks. Myra's gives you a second wind (drawing 7-10 cards in the late game can give you a very good chance to find Leeroy/Cold Blood or other lethal combos) that can often end games instantly when you would have otherwise been ground out. Its also not even bad in the aggro mirror, drawing it early on allows you to completely dictate the pace of play by throwing all your resources onto the board and trading everything off 1 for 1, and then draw a full new hand while your opponent is sitting there top decking a single minion each turn.
It's interesting that some people run in it Odd Rogue and others do not. So I suppose it's up to personal taste and not necessary a must craft for Rogue/Odd Rogue decks (at least for the time being). Some say though that the card is quite effective against control decks when looking to play very aggressive and searching for that lethal, and the higher the ranks you go, the more control you tend to see ( in my experience anyways). I am still tempted to craft it, but perhaps there are other legendarys or epics that might be worth more the dust (I.E Zilliax etc).
P.S I ranked up with Odd Rogue last season and tend to do the same this season. Hit rank 4 and obviously did not use Myra's Unstable Element
It can be useful from time to time on odd rogue but it definitely is not as staple and I feel it can be dead on most situations. What I mean is that Odd rogue is usually a deck that wants to be ahead on every game and it loses when it gets behind (most of the time) and Myra will be guaranteed dead in your hand if you're ahead cause at that point you don't want to burn your entire deck but it sucks cause it just takes space on your hand, it could be literally any of the other 29 cards which are not dead in 99% of the scenarios as Odd Rogue.
Also every time an Odd Rogue plays it against me I feel like they are in such a hole that the card usually won't bring them back, it might give them something decent, it might give them thrash, it might not give them enough resources to kill me before I can finish them (with the help of fatigue) so for that reason I don't run it in my deck, I feel like the upside of it giving me lethal on some scenarios is not worth having and absolute dead card on your hand on a lot of games and then it being dead for most of the game on the match-ups where it would matter.

True, I see your reasoning. Recently I think currently the card has gotten more popular to help answer slower decks, when you're looking for lethal that is. I have seen it played and listed in Odd Rogue lists lately. I think it's a super high risk high reward card for sure.
meta-wise, it's a great card in odd rogue and a good, passable card in a few other decks like pogo and thief
if you're looking towards climbing ladder, then it kinda comes up to your preference and how much dust you have / are willing to spend; again, it's a great card in odd rogue and can be fill-up for aggro in general, but the deck works fine as is with lists that don't run it
if you're playing rogue in general, then i would completely recommend crafting it - it acts as a powerful swing in tight games and can pull off some cool stuff ( ex: prep + myra + togwaggle , myra + elekk + espionage, etc. )

Hi my dood.
It won me a few games in odd rogue and it will be an interesting deck building choice in every rogue deck from here on out. Worth it for sure.
It's probably okayish in a Pogo Rogue deck, because it enables the infinite combo faster than Hemet.
