Im super hyped!

I love how  Baku and Genn are going to multiply deck recipes by 3. Even without much support from other cards, people are going to figure out cool ways to use those cards to create awesome decks for every class. And just the idea of having and “un-set” meta for longer than usual is fun to me.

I think players are going to expend way more time experimenting the different combinations with the new cards than in previous expansions.

Cherry on top, I hate aggro decks! And both Echo and Rush seem to tackle aggro decks and promote control. So I’m all up for that ^^

Trade Only?: Yes, you go first

A simple nerf like increasing the Quest to 5 minions instead of 4 would be enough IMO..

The thing is that I honestly believe Blizzard didn't think players would use the quest like that, with a bunch of 1 cost minions with charge and draw abilities. Not to mention how easy it is to do with Fire Fly and Igneous Elemental, which were not designed for the Rogue class.

Playing agro with Pirate Warrior is not the answer for Rogue Quest! ..by adding 2 Golakka Crawler you can really mess up any pirate deck. But what can you add to your deck to stop this Quest? :/

Thank you guys for the replies! I'll try some of these suggestions and see how it goes. Specially the Dirty Rat since I can just add that one to my Warrior Quest ;)

I'm playing around Rank 16 and I'm having A LOT of trouble with Rogues. And as far as I've seen everyone's recommendation is: Go agro with Pirate Warrior/Shaman or Hunter!

And I honestly don't want to do that. I very much dislike a deck that consist on just "Summon and Attack". I like playing the board, seeing who manages to take control over it and overcome the other player's deck.

When Un'goro  released I started playing with an Elemental Mage deck. It went pretty well and it had great synergy. Then I switched to Warrior Quest because is the only quest I got on my packs. I managed to create a pretty decent deck (then switched it for an improved version I saw here) and I had some AMAZING matches with other Quest Heroes. Like matches where we both managed to get our quest reward and each player took control of the board almost every turn, we consumed our decks and in end the only the best Quest claimed victory. 

But it just doesn't happen with Rogues. It is SO EASY to complete the quest, specially (as far as I've seen) if they do it with Igneous Elemental and Fire Fly.. With a lucky draw they can have x4 5/5 minions in turn 5. HOW DO I BEAT THAT? even if I saved my coin and use Felfire Potion or Dragonfire Potion on turn 5 (assuming I was playing Priest or Warlock..) I'd spend all my mana and they'd probably fill the board the next turn. Just summon Swashburglar and Patches the Pirate will come out of nowhere with a 5/5 charge.. and they still have enough mana for Violet Teacher and who knows what 0 cost Rogue spell..

And people say is a deck that depends too much on lucky draws.. But come on, in all honesty ALL decks depend a bit on luck to be successful.. some more than others obviously but still.

ANYWAYS.. I didn't wan't to sound like another player complaining about a quest just 24h after the expansion.. I just want to know:

Is there a legit strategy against Rogue Quest WITHOUT going agro?

Because if not.. I might go Rogue Quest as well :/ way more fun than playing Pirate Warrior TBH.

Exactly this.

I played with a guy that was so confused when he used his time warp.

Eventually he finished his turn and attacked me with 2 Arcane Giants and 2 fireballs. I died in 1 turn having 4 minions on the board and 27 health xD.. I was actually pretty fun to watch.

Is not like that.

Thalnos started a counter. That "1" meant that he will then need 3 more Thalnos to fulfill the Quest.

You don't complete the quest by summoning copies of minions and it goes up everytime you summon a copy of ANY minion.

You COMPLETE the quest by summoning essentially the same "Name" 4 times. That Thalnos meant the first summoning of the 4.

How come? isn't she part of the regular cards? it has the spiral watermark
