a) Printing a cold light replacement would be retarded. What would be the point in rotating it then? It was one of the best ideas they've had since instituting the HoF (only better one would be rotating the entire classic set)
b) Miracle is playable in standard now, and will probably be in a better position with rotation. Kingsbane and mill are uninteractive, unfun trash anyway, good riddance.
c) That said, you are right, these cards will probably see no play. The original Burgle was a better card than pickpocket and saw no play. The echo cards seem generally too underpowered to want to play enough for the 4 drop.
Mill rogue is stronger in wild tho.
The only saving grace of Pick Pocket is the echo on it, otherwise it's just a much crappier mix of Swashburglar and Hallucination.
Yeah, you'd almost think they gave it echo on purpose
Kingsbane control rogue.
No love for Kingsbane... FeelsBadMan!
Pick Pocket is awsome. I am not pretty sure how good is mistwraith, but it may see some plays And maybe pick pocket will help it.
This 2 cards have some potential of a little snowball effect. If you create an echo deck of course. But just potential. I mean it's not gonna be huge but it can be something decent...
You can play Mistwraith + Preparation + Pick Pocket + Pick Pocket again... Which means you can make Mistwraith 4+2 mana 5/7 by using a bit source and getting vanilla creature on the board and 2 additional cards from your opponent. Which is not the best thing in the world but it's something at least.
I cannot say this is playable or not we need to see whole set for the clear vision.
don't give a fuck what y'all think, pick pocket is an awesome card and I'm glad they printed it it seems great fun
As a Rogue player, I don't think about how "playable" or "good" those cards are - I think about how they can create a Rogue deck that can compete with tier 1+2 decks. Unfortunately, as it stands now, it's not going to happen...
Pick pocket is great value but bad tempo.
It seems they want to rebuild Thief Rogue as a new Control archetype.
Well, i'm curious...
Questing Adventurer is better.
Questing Adventurer is not specifically for Echo deck.
3 mana 2/2 vs 4 mana 3/5
Why are they both rare? With these Rogue has three rares and only one common. Something is wrong.
2 Legendaries, 2 Epics, 3 Rares and 3 Commons. Nothing is wrong.
Yeah and your opponent plays removal and that´s it.
BTW I personally don´t like Thiefrogue. It is too random and more like a fundeck. Just my opinion.
Mistwraith is a solid 4 Mana 3/5 that your Opponent has to remove in fear of Pick Pocket or Cheap Shot. I wouldn't write it off that easily. And I hope there won't be a 1 Mana Echo Card, because it would be abused with Lyra/Auctioneer or Knife Juggler.
Pick Pocket on the other Hand is worse than Hallucination, if you just play it once. But this card can create up to 5 Cards if you ever run out of cards and topdeck this in the lategame. It heavily depends on the type of deck you use it in. Even Miracle Rogue can have some weird empty turns early on, that this card could fill.
The thing is, I personally don´t like to play burglecards. Most time I´ve got such a bad luck by getting random cards and effects. That´s just not funny for me to play it. That´s reason why I f.e. never played Yogg up till now. So I really hoped that we will get other mechanics for rogue, cause I love to play rogue in other ways. A little bit disappointed about new cards. You understand my point?
Pick pocket is basically a bad Burgle which was never really played and Mistwrath is a bad Questing Adventurer which also saw no play recently.
It's interesting for sure but it doesn't seem to be very powerful right now. Maybe when we know the whole set.
Pick Pocket gives yet another new weapon to Miracle Rogue.
