The card is worded so badly I question who even proof reads at Blizzard...interesting card though, could fit right into Rogue.

talker posted a message on New Rogue Card Revealed - Shadow of DeathPosted in: NewsI can imagine several uses for this card... Rogue seems fun, continuing with espionage, pogo deck and now adding deathrattle.
- Using it on your own minions (Leeroy?)
- Using it on enemy big things - right now popular mage (4mana shuffle 8/8 giants or 4/12 dragon, against warrior vs Ziliax or in ultra late on elysiana to have 3x7/7 is good too) The issue is that if you are using 4 mana on shuffling giants into your deck you usually dont have mana to kill the giant and that means you are probably dead in 1-2 turns.
- Connected to Anka and deathrattle minions - deranged doctor, anubisath warbringer, cairne, mechanical whelp etc - you can run through your deck pretty fast if you are lucky and using this on turn 5/6 with Anka can be insane.
The issue I see is, that the most meta decks dont give you what you want/need from them - the meta is too fast, with shaman, warlock and druid going wide on board instead of big and hunter+Paladin go mech, which is useless for you as well.
So for this to work, it needs to be either Anka deck or the meta has to shift more control oriented, so you can actually utilize it.
I am still waiting for couple things for Rogue:
- Quest
- Some kind of board clear (fan of knives and single removals are not enough)
- some kind of good draw - crippling preparation (so sprint & raiding party) and losing elven minstrel makes rogue rely purely on auctioneer, unless you go for tempo rogue.

Beatsz posted a message on New Rogue Card Revealed - Whirlkick MasterPosted in: NewsQuote from The_Quicksand >>You may have not played Rogue recently, but a lot of cards you'd never put in your deck see play. The amount of generated cards and spells you play with every tempo rogue deck is insane.
I've played plenty of Rogue. Tell me, how many decks have you seen that run Defias Ringleader, Cutthroat Buccaneer, Kidnapper or Headcrack lately? You can even get more useless stuff, like a Raiding Party in a deck without pirates.
Quote from The_Quicksand >>This is just generating value. Generating value, even a small amount, is usually worth it. There are hardly any combo cards that are not worth gaining, even if you don't high roll the Edwyn.
That's completely wrong. Rogue doesn't care about generating value, they're all about tempo. If you fall behind on tempo before you've set up lethal with burst, you'll never be able to retake the board again. This isn't mage, or priest, or warrior we're talking about.
Rogues care first and foremost about tempo. Everything else is secondary. If you have a card that brings a lot of tempo and also brings value, sure, that's a good card to include in your rogue deck. That's why cards like EVIL Miscreant are great in rogue, they bring a lot of stats and board effects as well as some value.
You know what card's the definition of a bad tempo card? A 2 mana 1/2.
But I guess we'll see in a few weeks.

NeoEpic posted a message on Legendary Rogue Card Revealed - Anka, the BuriedPosted in: NewsMecha'thun doesn't actually work that well with Myra's because you then have to empty your hand of all non combo cards, and you'll likely need more card draw to make the deck work anyways, so way too much fatigue damage

1vka posted a message on 10 New Classic Cards, Vanish & Mind Blast to Hall of FamePosted in: NewsRogue : Strengths: Combo cards, destroying individual minions, card draw, weapons, Deathrattle
What card draw ??? The 7 mana Sprint that is now unusable since the nerf of Preparation ??
Priest: Priests balance holy light and shadow magic to defeat their opponents. Limitations: Card draw
What shadow magic ??? Card draw why is it in Limitation ? Its an UBER weakness ,if we look at HS from begining this class had the worst card draw of all classes.
Shaman: Weaknesses: Card draw, card generation
Hagatha says HELLO or why print Hagatha if this is where shaman should be weak ??? Makes no sense
Blizzard you playing the same game as us ???

Is anybody else having a problem with updating hearthstone on Android phone? Whenever I open game it says that there's connection issue and I can't download the update.

Nope, they are plain 2/2 beasts

I already hate this card.

If you remember the image of the card then you would notice it's Hyena Alpha.

Insane in terms of value + quest enabler

I see even more potential for Anka Deathrattle Rogue. Playing 1/1 Deranged Doctor for 1 mana and then possibly getting three 8/8's with 8 heal for free is pretty good.

Why rogue is not getting cards like this in terms of card draw? As far as I remember it's one of the strengths of the class.

Yeah, echo cards are in your hand until end of your turn.

Combo cards available at the moment: Cold Blood, Eviscerate, Cutthroat Buccaneer, Edwin VanCleef, Evil Miscreant, Perdition's Blade, SI:7 Agent, Raiding Party, Crazed Chemist, Kidnapper + recently revealed weapon.
To be fair it not might be that good but still card generation for rogue is appreciated.

Very easy to trigger, good addition to tempo/aggro rogue.
