And yes, there is a reason to make two variations of your primary deck, otherwise the format wouldn't have been implemented.

How wrong can this guy be?

We get a couple of new mechanic (Schemes for instance), and for the mechanics that we have already seen, the devs have just refreshed them which is very cool. I loved both Kazakus and Elise. Pure value. Pure control meta. Simply because he has the urge to complain about something to feel smart we shouldnt ever see old mechanics and cool stuff brought back from the past?

As of wild, i can recall i encountered like 5 big priests on my journey to legend. 

People please don't listen to these guys that are trying to spoil the fun. This expansion so far looks amazing and might be one of the very best expansions ever. My favourite expansion was Wotog and this is the closest we are gonna get to that meta.

Bring back control!

Raza is a core card and without her you are missing quite a lot of damage and burst from your death knight. I would still suggest you to try out the deck. Especially if you have Brann.

Big Priest is strong but way too one dimensional. This deck much more fun imo. Play reactively, that means you wait for your opponent to put minions onto the board and then you respond to his actions. That being said, you should try to siphon out as much value from your cards as you can. For instance, you don't want to Shadow Madness his 1/1 minion to kill 3/1 just because it's a good trade. If you are for example up against Warlock you always want to save Madness for either Voidcaller or Voidlord. I'll update this thread and put a couple of mulligan tips, too. You have the best board clears in the game, but you don't have to many of them so you need to find a perfect balance not to waste them for nothing but also not to hesitate to use them when it's needed.

If you wish you can add me ingame and i'll gladly play some of this deck so you can spectate :)

You guys are missing some important facts and exaggerating a bit. This card is strong, not gonna lie. Has great potential and a lot of value.

But...

Firstly, rogue is losing some very important cards after rotation. Valeera, Minstrel, Strider to name the few...

Secondly, in order to make a lot out of this card you would need to keep it in your opening hand and not use it for decent amount of rogues.

The card is apsolutely useless against aggro. It takes a slot and does apsolutely nothing on the turn you played it (even though thats irelevant because you payed measly 1 mana for it).

I played a lot of Pogo rogue back in boomsday. I enjoyed the deck because of its complexity and I'm certainly gonna play some more after the rotation but the absence of Valeera will certainly hit any control Rogue archetype, let alone Pogo rogue.

There is seemingly too many people around here that never played the golden monkey.

Firstly, zoolock always prevails, he will never die off. He is losing Doomguard, Dreadlord and probably the whole healing package because 0 mana 3 3 goes to wild soon. So next generation of zoolock will probably become yet again the swarmy style with a lot of tokens. There is this 1 mana card that destroys your minion and buffs the whole board by +1/+1 which is insane for that deck. That being said zoolock will probably have most of his deck below 3 mana which might, just might allow this card to make the cut so that when you don't finish off your opponent you have the possibility to turn your 1drops into a high impact late game legendaries.

Secondly, and more likely, if Controlock makes it to the next expansion you will think about putting this into your deck because it allows you to withstand aggro if you make it to the turn 7 but more importantly the card also allows you to exchange your tech cards, bad cards, or simply useless cards against control matchups for that matter.

Very versatile card. It brings to me some sweet nostalgia when i used to play Elise, although we still have this effect in standard through Marins chest treasure and overall it's such a cool effect. 5/5 Blizzard

Pretty excited. It's a new old mechanic that strives to push control meta. I see nothing wrong with that. Echo was very interesting except for the fact we did not receive too many of those cards. Everyone who is worried about the new mechanic that is healthy for the game is either unreasonable or a braindead cancer aggro player...

Why we can only rate the cards power level? This is somewhere between playable and very good but I'd like to rate 5/5 the design. It is super cool that they printed this card. It's very well balanced, gonna see highlights in arena and they also brought back some cool mechanics from the past, the combination of Shadow word and Forbidden (cards from Wotog) which is also very cool. 5/5

Trust me, this is going to be a safe craft if you are planning to play any control oriented mage deck. Obviously insanely powerful in arena. 

Decent card, great design, strong arena pick. 5/5
