this is one of the greatest comments i have come across
so perfect
I mean, Burgle Rogue is still number 1 in the fun department. Besides, it can become a tier 1 deck, but maybe nobody ever plays it. Kinda like Odd Quest Warrior.
I understand what you’re saying against other rogues, but I disagree with your answer. You’re not playing just an alt win condition. You don’t have an iron clad control shell like druid which allows you to play togwaggle as a win condition. Your entire game plan is to play low tempo now and high tempo later. This becomes especially a problem vs other rogue variants, who rather than relying on RNG for good cards, simply use them.
Its not an auto loss, but you’re at a big disadvantage.
This depends very much on how you build your burgle deck. It is most clear in Wild, but can be done in Standard too, where a tempo-esque burgle rogue is very possible. I have a long history of building rogue decks somewhere between tempo, midrange and value archetypes and have never felt a matchup against a rogue was particularly problematic.
More than anything however I want people to stop being defeatist when playing burgle rogue against another rogue. Still, it is a huge step up from when I was preaching that burgle rogue isn't complete trash before the last expansion (https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/class-discussion/rogue/214751-burgled-cards-the-mostly-unplayable-fallacy).
I love burgle rogue. It’s one of my favorite decks ever, and I actually climbed from 10-5 with this list back in kft. www.hearthpwn.com/decks/973142-80-winrate-thief-rogue
The reason the rogue matchup is so hard now is that almost every thief card you play isn’t tempo. Gone are the days of swahburgler, undercity huckster, and ethereal peddler. Now we have hallucination, pickpocket, and cutlass. The payoff for these decks now are slower cards like cutlass and Tess. With the release of the new expansion and this card, it’s very possible that a miracle style burgle will rise.
TLDR: Burgle rogue cards had been strong enough on their own to put into other deck in the past. Because the cards now impact the board less, it’s harder to make a tempo list.
The bigger cost the opponents deck is the better it is for you, so wouldnt be very good against aggro decks
It's from their class, not their deck, so it doesn't matter what type of deck they're playing.
That said, I agree that it won't be good against aggro, by virtue of being a 4 mana "do nothing" on the turn that it's played.
w/ this card Burgle Rogue Level Up
Enjoy your Fatigue Rogue everyone!
Also you can suffle your Tess Thiccmane into your deck and play her a dozen times. SeemsGood
Crazy card, Who fucker did it ?
It like deck of wonder but more danger
King Crush for 1 mana sounds quite good.
Legit synergie with Myra's Unstable Element when deck is empty, draw 9 or 10 cards costing 1 for 9 manas.
This looks so fun I'd play it with a 30% win rate.
yeah hahaha these are decks around Tess Greymane right now, highest winrate is like 50%, but the fun compensates it, and you can still win against a lot of meta decks if you have some lucky RNG (sometimes you can just play like a Tempo Rogue and wins anyways)
Looks broken at first sight but I really don't know how consistent it will be in terms of value.
Good fucking riddance Ben Brode, this game is going to be fun again
Cmon dude, you can have your opinions without being negative towards people
Burgle Rogue might actually be meta??? Whatttt???
Now we know why Tess was about to get nerfed sometime ago. BURGLE Rogue with Tess and Cutllass is gonna be insane
