How did anyone even come up with this clown fiesta of a card? Leave it to Blizzard to give Rogues the worst of the worst each expansion (and not only is the mechanic bad, but I have a feeling too many of the other cards will focus on trying to pull this off --- meaning, goodbye another set for Rogues).
This is pretty easy tbh. 2 Shadowstep, 2 shadowcaster, 2 brewmasters. Then you can play some token generating minions(dppleganster, hell even stuff like Razorfen Hunter will be a good card) to flood board with 5/5's
1 mana 5/5 divine shield squire, i mana 5/5 charge boar, 1 mana 5/5 windufy dragonhawk, 0 mana 5/5 wisp, 2 mana 2x 5/5 murlocs, violet teacher spawning 5/5 tokens and much more combos. And rogue has preparation so he can cast it and flood board with cheap minions same turn.
So shadowstep+brewmaster action? Would need minions with strong battlecrys to have some impact on the board... maybe jadespirit?
I was thinking of running this with Jade as I can often get multiple Jade Swarmers from Journey Below and using Shadowcaster on them. If all else fails, use a Shadowstep. Here's where I'm not sure. If this permanently makes all of your minions 5/5 no matter what (including tokens), Jade Rogue is just a stream of 5/5's. Can these 5/5s take damage or do they go right back to 5/5? Can they be buffed or do they go back to 5/5? There needs to be some explanation here.
Don't dismiss this too soon. Yes, you can't build big minions and that is a big downside but it means you also have no small minions. A constant stream of 5/5 minions can be very hard to deal with by some decks. I think this is difficult to judge without seeing other Rogue cards yet.
This shows you just how strong Rogues are. They keep receiving garbage cards but are usually tier 1 or 2 due to the power of their core set. That might change when Azure Drake, Conceal, Pillager rotate out.
It's essentially a weenie rush deck that looks to replay the multiple low mana, advantage generating weenies.
Once you complete the quest, your Novice Engineers and Swashburglers become 5/5 card draws. I don't know if this will be a top tier competitive deck, but I don't think it's the garbage that a lot of you do.
People are knocking this Quest, but the fun potential is real! Imagine a water deck:. Finja package, and a ton of small pirates/charge minions and bounce/copy cards. Fulfill the quest, play finja, win.
I voted meta defining. Not only will this be tier 1, but it will garner a ton of hate and cause thread after thread of nerf requests. Bouncing is so easy for Rogue. They wont even need Thistle Tea and Mimic Pod. Enemy builds a late game taunt wall? Vanish and replay your 1 mana 5/5s with charge. God even Stonetusk Boar and Wisp will be played with this.
Seriously, all of you who complain about Rogue class cards: Stop playing rogue until you can netdeck a true Rogue player! You clearly don't know how to build decks for the class. If you don't like these cards maybe one of the other 8 classes is more suited for you. However some players (specially Johnny players like me) enjoy creating successful Tier 1-2 decks with what you see as crap.
If you want brainless good cards go to any of the other 8 classes.
I totally agree! I am a bit dissapointed by the direction they chose for rogue, but I can see some great potential in it.
As predicted, because Blizzard hates Rogues, this seems really unreliable and not that powerful if you do indeed pull it off.
Incorporating a bunch of Shadowstep Youthful Brewmaster Thistle Tea and Gadgetzan Ferryman cards is a sure way to get a very inconsistent deck. And, as much as I personally love Xaril, Poisoned Mind he isn't reliable for this quest type. Shadowcasteris another option, but hard to use in many situations.

It seems this card has been included in the set for no reason other than to ruin some people's pre-orders.

all RNG feast.
spell card -draw spell= concede
late game 5-5 just weak unless you perfect hand. Early quest s really impossible.
When playing rogue vs rogue, swashburglar into swashburglar 3 times, ez game, no RNG at all
Okay, so the minions cannot be killed by battle?
Do all 4 minions need to have the same name or can you split it up and play 2 wisps and 2 pandas?

I'm done. Fuck this game and fuck blizzard
