It does trigger. The same as if you and your opponent has misdirection then attack their face then attacking yours both will trigger in your turn.
Was you in coma since 2014?
Cheat Death = Getaway Kodo
Sudden Betrayal = Misdirection
Evasion = Ice Block
The gang's all here!
No, you can play Ice Block at anytime but Evasion need a good planning to play.
Rogue will be insane.
comments in about a minute. ICE BLOCK WAAAAHH. ROGUES GET ICEBLOCK WAAAHH
Honestly I love these new Rogue secrets. Really making control rogue viable, so we can build up to larger jades or Malygos.
Well THAT'S a card!
I'm thinking mill rogue in standard may be a major competitor in the upcoming standard year. Mill definitely looks stronger in wild with the addition of this. With Valeera and this you could buy yourself two turns. I like the flavor and it's not as mindless as Ice Block, high skill cap card.
as if rogues weren't annoying enough
Not the most OP secret but handy to protect yourself.
Rogues really need some early defense
your opponent can still do major damage on first attack, so it's not a perfect Ice block. and you can still die by one single attack
Can be combined with Sudden Betrayal or the Cheat Death, but not both or you spoil every secret
I think this is pretty good, the only problem that this is not exactly a secret, since most of the time your opponent will know what rogue secret it'll be.
if you attack with the strongest minion then Sudden Betrayal will prevent damage, if you attack with weakest then this secret will protect you from strong minions. But truth be told I don't think either of this 2 is good enough to be played in a first place.
NIce Block
I think it's fair, you can't tutor it with arcanologist, thus less consistency when you need it. Also you can just 1 shot the rogue with a buffed up leeroy or something which completely negates the secret. Curve and swarm decks need more counters so I'm happy. The only people who will get upset over this card are people who can't stand playing games that last more than turn 5. Card is pretty good against Razakas as well because you'll have two of these + Valeera the Hollow to stall.
I like the deck, the only problem I foresee is only playing 1 of the new rogue secrets, it might be better to include 1 of each, that way the opponent never knows what they are up against.
Why?
It would have been more Rogue-like to "gain stealth" or "dodge it" fits more into "evasion" haha... total immunity is weird
It's much like how a Rogue would actually use Evasion in World of Warcraft. They take a hit, they haven't died but they're expecting to take another hit, so they pop their cooldown. Evasion in WoW for record's sake does grant 100% dodge.
Stealth wouldn't work because things like Felfire potion and Consecration would still do damage
