If you have 2 of them and 4 1 drops and you keep 2 1 drops off the start, you have a pretty decent chance to draw Prince Keleseth with the second one, maybe even the first. Since you have no other 2 drops, the 4 1 drops are all you have to worry about. It adds consistency to the deck, it doesn't necessarily have to break the video game lol.

Not incorrect. Priest decks are probably going to be throwing random shit in their shell now that Drakonid Operative and Netherspite Historian are rotating out anyways, so there will be probably 8-10 deck slots that open up. I'm sure we can find a way to squeeze it in. And unlike cards like Arcanologist that tutor for specific cards, Witchwood Piper tutors for your lowest-cost minion. Chances are you run enough minions in your deck for both pipers to hit something anyways, so it's usually guaranteed.

Swift Messenger is up there solely because I think Rush warrior needs another Rush to be viable. Originally it was Tier 3. I might switch it with Rabid Worgen, though hypothetically I think the extremes of Swift Messenger are better than Rabid's middle of the road stats.

Ravencaller's because cards that let you refuel are oftentimes pretty good. It has significant drawbacks, but that at least was my thought process. (I may change my mind on this one, though.)

Chameleos: I'm not really sure how valuable scouting is. It'll never really guarantee they don't have something, particularly against control when knowing their hand is more useful. The opponent's cards, while not awful, will also never really synergize with your cards.

I think rogues just don't really need Cheap Shot. The problem is it's just so awful at low costs (especially for more tempo based rogues) and while kinda mediocre at higher costs, at that point you could just run things like Vilespine Slayer where you don't even have to worry about dealing damage.

Hidden Wisdom: Your opponent just isn't going to play 3 cards in a single turn. It's just so incredibly, incredibly rare except against very specific decks.

Nightmare Matriarch: Cards that have to stick are almost universally bad, since by that late in the game your opponent has either killed you, or has access to strong enough removal. I did actually flip-flop on it though, since it does have a really good statline, a decent effect, and could go in dragon priest.

For Pick Pocket: I mean, Sprint gives you 4 cards for 7-mana and has seen no play as of late. It doesn't help that random cards can be pretty awful, so you can spend your whole turn 4 or 6 drawing cards you can't even really play. At least cards like Blink Fox put a minion on the board. (It doesn't help that rogues are spoiled for choice when it comes to card draw right now.)

Witching Hour: What combo are you thinking of? The problem with big combos tends to be if you draw one card but not the other it can be a dead card the entire game. Big priest and cubelock get around this by both cheating out the minions they need, and then by being able to use several different minions (all great and playable on their own) to fufill the combo condition. A 21-damage combo can kill the deck if the combo requires set-up, cards that can only be used in that combo, and minions that are otherwise mediocre.

Only +1 buff? This cannt save Kingsbane Rogue.. =\

Quote from tenkeneccos >>

Kingsbane still playable thanks to this, but worse

Quote from Raskolnikow92 >>

I think that this card is playable because I believe that, if a control rogue archetype emerges, kingsbane will be needed for sustainability because even if you can buff your weapon to get 4-5 attack and lifesteal, it’s a decent removal. It’s just not the only win condition anymore.

 It'll hurt your deck to add Kingsbane support/synergies if they don't add to a win condition. 

I'd suggest building around Spectral Cutlass if that's your plan- it's worse as a card but synergises with your survive longer/have alt. win conditions strategy.  

 

This card would have been worth a damn if it gave +2 attack. Or if it at least buffed the weapon as a battlecry. This is stupid.

I guess this is how you can tell someone put absolutely no thought into making a tier list.

Swift messenger is not a good card. What are you thinking?

Ravencaller is above Witching Hour. Now THAT's funny.

Chameleos offers scouting every turn and selective use of one of whatever the fuck you want from your opponent's hand. I don't think it's as good as many others do but it's certainly not bad.

Cheap Shot is sort of removal. I can understand where you're coming from but I don't feel it quite deserves its placement.

Hidden Wisdom draws 2 cards. The only other cards that draw 2 cards that never saw play were Sense Demons and Fight Promoter, and both of those had horrible downsides that made them inconsistent in power. Hidden Wisdom will likely be a 1 of in every paladin deck a week from now and I have no fucking idea how you could think otherwise with how easy its requirement is to fulfill.

Nightscale Matriarch is a big dude that requires an immediate answer or it spirals out of control. It's a win more card and that's the only reason I can think of as to why you think it's bad, but it also happens to be good on an empty board so...

Pick Pocket can give you up to 5 cards for 1 deck slot. Its far from broken but I'd never call it useless.

Vivid Nightmare is basically a better Mirage Caller effect without a body attached. You might actually be right about this one.

Witching Hour enables a 21 damage 3 card combo that costs 9 mana that can be performed twice per game. Honestly this list lost all credibility to me the moment I saw you call this card bad. 

Your list is trash, yo.

Ok I have a few criticisms to give.

1.) Countess Ashmore is absolutely not worth a deck slot here. You have 4 Deathrattles with none being very powerful and 1 rush card in the entire deck. More often than not, Ashmore will only draw you one card. Ashmore will not draw Frost Lich Jaina as it does not have Lifesteal itself, nor will it draw elementals after playing Jaina as the Lifesteal they gain is not on the card text. It's a new card, it's expected that people will be misguided as to how it works. Not a big deal.

2.) Why is the quest in this deck? It doesn't really do anything for you. Denying yourself 1 card on turn 1 thanks to including it just doesn't seem worth it. Because the quest isn't really worth it, neither is Primordial Glyph or Witch's Cauldron.

3.) You have 1 copy of Blazecaller and Servant of Kalimos, two of the best elementals around... and 2 copies of Nightmare Amalgam. Nightmare Amalgam is just a 3/4 so I can't really agree with that choice.

4.) In the Minion Draw section you accidentally put Blazecaller where you meant to put Bonfire Elemental. Simple to fix.

My suggested changes are:

-1 Countess Ashmore, -1 Swift Messenger, +1 Servant of Kalimos, +1 Blazecaller || I get what you were trying to do here, but sadly it wouldn't have worked out. The two replacements are just very solid picks for Elemage and will enable you to chain elemental synergy slightly more consistently as well.

-1 Open the Waygate, -2 Primordial Glyph, -2 Witch's Cauldron, +1 Baron Geddon, +2 Arcane Intellect, +2 Tar Creeper || Open the Waygate seemed incredibly forced in this deck and often wouldn't have helped you much anyway. Instead, I advise you swap out the listed cards for some things to help patch up this deck's weaknesses in having little draw and few answers for aggro. Arcane Intellect will help add some much needed draw to the deck and improve consistency overall. Tar Creeper is an excellent card against aggro and adds consistency to the deck's ability to chain elemental synergies. Baron Geddon is an excellent card once Jaina has been played and can easily net you heals of 6-20 at the end of every turn it stays alive, he is by no means mandatory but he's definitely a solid pick. I did not suggest replacing Shimmering Tempest, Steam Surger, or Lesser Ruby Spellstone despite them working towards the Open the Waygate idea as all three of those cards seem good enough on their own to keep in the deck.

[OPTIONAL] -2 Nightmare Amalgam, +2 Volatile Elemental OR +2 Fire Plume Phoenix || Personally I'm interested to see if Nightmare Amalgam works out so if you have the dust to spare I say you should give it a shot. If it doesn't end up performing well both of the cards I suggested will be solid replacements that also help against Aggro. If Voodoo Doll doesn't end up working out (I think it might) just swap it out for Volatile Elemental or Fire Plume Phoenix. Also, if you do try Nightmare Amalgam but you swap out it and Voodoo Doll, you should give Nightmare Amalgam another try after swapping the Voodoo Dolls.

x1 this card and Valeera DK is enough for never die for fatigue and for this purpose is much better than Kingsbane if you want to spend only a slot in deck...

Unfortunately rogue is dead.

Quote from Pedrolo >>

Shuffle copies cards have never got a slot in competitive play, this one will be no exception.

Probably the best overall of the anti-secret tech cards.

Without a doubt one of the worst cards ever made.

For sure, lets get Ice Rager in there too while we're at it!

Where is the Fandral Staghelm token?

 Didn't they get rid if that when they changed the order of Fandral? Like how wrath used to do 4 damage draw a card at once, it now does 3 damage and 1 damage draw a card, I think it might just summon both minions instead of combining them but feel free to call me out on it because I very well may be wrong
