A lot of the reason that Miracle Rogue was failing because of Shaman. Now that it's being nerfed, do you think it will be a lot better? I think it will be because against Shaman it has like a 30 percent wr. If a third of the people I face are shamans, and the winrate improves to 60 percent, I have an extra 10 percent winrate, which is a lot.
Against an old school aggro shaman list that uses horseriders and no things from below, the shaman nerfs won't matter much but against the midrange archetypes it remains to be seen. I also think miracle rogue with additional threats like questing adventurers could fair somewhat better with the current version of midrange shamans. I am not familiar at all with how the totem shaman (with witch doctor) and miracle rogue matchup go.
A nerf to Abusive Sergeant is a buff to Miracles, between that and the rest of the Shaman nerfs I think the Coldblood/Conceal version should be fast enough to compete in the meta - with Shaman nerfed and Hunter castrated I would expect to see a lot of Nzoth control so it seems like a good choice right now.

it will surely become better, but i wouldn't expect much.
It can't get any worse honestly but I really doubt any kind of shaman is going to be tangibly weaker against rogue.
