oh yess...... rogue getting some love from blizzard after being lashed by string of nerfs

also "battlecry rogue" viable????

Power creep

Hrm, wait. Commando still can damage the hero. Not power creep.

Dis guy + shadowstep = GG rush decks.

finally a more viable aoe for Rogue!If he was a 4 mana,i would call that card OP.But he is gonna find a place for sure in most of rogue decks.
But my main worry is that if we see an aoe card for rogue,there's high chances to see a card that help rush decks.

also commando can damage already damaged minion to finish it .. also its neutral not rogue class only.. people start to annoy me with their usage of the word "powercreep" .. srsly if u dont have a clue what u are talkin then dont say a anything..

Rogues who hit with the dagger first and then Backstab will use Fan of Knives before this guy, for sure.

Seems strong, so I might start saving up and rebuilding some of my rogue cards.  Thankfully I play mostly mid-range and not aggro!

Also Commando has always sucked. It's only really power creep if the older card being made obsolete actually followed the standard rules of stat costing. Commando is way below the vanilla test, it's essentially paying 2 and a half mana for 2 damage. It should be like a 5/4.

Skulker is more like paying 2 mana for a more specific Consecration. Such an effect on its own would likely cost 3 mana, so the Skulker is giving you a 1 mana discount. Which as a class card is fine. 

Noxious will be pleased at the thought of Rouge getting an amazing new control tool ^^

Nerubian Egg will be great with this card.

As much as this is a strong anti face hunter it also seems a really anti shaman card as well. Immediate totem wipe. Not the 0/3 ones but still, a lot of times a shamans taunt and heal totems can be a real pain in the butt.

Totemic might meta? Kappa

Rogue card huh... Rogues got crap in gvg except oil and barber so this card is def. appreciated. 

Backstab on crack and steroids. I like it.

What's your problem? I've said already that it's not power creep.

I wonder if all class cards are going to be rare quality.

As already pointed out, you can further increase the damage to 3 with Fan of Knives. 3 damage to enemy minions + 4/3 + card draw for 8 mana... well, Flamestrike still remains the best AoE, imo.

You forget the preperation man.So that combo it's at 5 mana with 3 cards.

Great mechanic... I'm just asking myself if this card coming on turn 5 is a bit too slow for what it is aim to do (destroying aggro, I believe).

Needs to damage at least 2-3 minions to get value since you are paying 2 mana for it's effect (it's a 3 mana body) can be good against shaman and paladin good answer for muster for battle.

RIP shaman

No, this is a neutral card. 

Love the effect. In terms of mana efficient AoEs, rogues already have a 1-damage one (Fan) and a 3-damage one (Poison+Flurry). This basically completes rogue's anti-aggro abilities, and greatly improves shaman matchups.

Only drawback - this would be insane if it's a 4 mana 3/2 but Drakes and Loatheb/belcher are, in many cases, too good for rogues to give up at the moment.

Man, this seems super-strong against aggro decks.  I'm going to have to chuck my whole Shockadin deck in the trash once he comes out.
