Maly Rogue may actually move out of meme status and into Tier 2 or 3 because of this card. Cavern Shinyfinder and Elven Minstrel tutoring out 3 of your combo pieces may be enough to just be quicker than other combo decks.
All those comments on about almost any card that mention Malygos make me wish Malygos gets HOF'ed can't a card be good without allowing an OTK?
Rogues getting all viable cards this expac! NICE!!! Druids will have SOME competition
Nice! Now all we need is a card for each of Necrium's other uses: poisons, more weapons, toothpaste, artificial flavorings, undergarments, dietary supplements, and death clocks
An excellent weapon for Deathrattle-related rogues. Curves well with Kobold Illusionist and Its excellent with certain cards like Sylvanas Windrunner, and even Dancing Swords for Mill Rogue. Now all Deathrattle Rogue needs to work in Standard is a good win condition.
Well son, sometimes when a Fiery War Axe and Play Dead love each other very very much.....
Good card, not great but playable but would it have kill them to made it a rush minion or a poison spell?, weapons in a class with a hero power that creates a weapon are dumb specially in one with such a lack of good taunts, good AOE or a good way to retake the board againts flooding of minions for that matter, not to mention that again they surely created that patetic 4 drop deathrattle just to justify this weapon.
now the legendary 5 mana 4 2 are good with this card??
no!
I like this card because its so similar to an already decent card (although not in this meta), Woodcutters Axe which you could often play on curve with Rabid Worgen.
I was thinking of what you can play on curve with this, what decent 4 drop you can deathrattle, and I almost came blank. Xaril isn't a bad card, but I don't think its worthy of using your weapon on. Sherazin (as far as I know, never tested) will just kill itself if its deathrattle triggers. This is everything in standard, and honestly there isn't much better options in wild (consider Piloted Shredder?). Everything, except Kobold Illusionist. Which is not a bad trigger. On curve, you can pull another deathrattle (hopefully not Myra) with Illusionist and make a pretty great board for turn 4, which is probably in your control because you swung a 3 attack weapon twice.
Woodcutter Axe may not have had the rush support last expansion, but this card has had support for the past 3. Looking forward to it, Deathrattle Rogue has been highly anticipated since the spellstone gave away the dev teams aim for a new rogue archetype.
I mean its pretty ridiculous if you hit the 4 mana 2/4 mech, that card isn't great so I'm not sure if its worth it.
I think that this card will be the reason because the deathrattle rogue will be played
This is okay. That video was awful. Blizzard you pick someone else from the comments and we both together would make a great video.
Every time that a 3 mana 3/2 weapon with extra effect is printed, i feel bad for war axe nerf
Kobold Illusionist was already seeing play in maly rogue variants, now that you don't need to kill your own illusionist, you can set up a 4 mana maly turn with this weapon.
In theory this card is good but do Rogues really have many good deathrattle cards?
Illusionist alone gives rogue the ability to cheat out Malygos. A deck with lots of draw and defensive tools could easily be meta defining, on the same power level of old freeze mage even. Especially when you consider the fact that rogue has pretty decent defense tools and insane draw. Throw in the 2 ice block like secrets, backstabs and si7 for good measure, use valeera for stall and to create insane amounts of damage through spells. Rogue has the ability to draw her whole deck now in an instant. I think it could work.
This goes nicely with Cairne Bloodhoof or the new Rogue Legendary. Pretty solid card, but Rogue will need some really good deathrattles to make it worthwhile first.
I’m glad to see a weapon for deathrattle rogue. Thief has the Cutlass, mill/porate has Kingsbane. This will pair very well with Jade Swarmers (one of the more fun decks I’ve used in wild) or maybe even an egg based deck. Kobold Illusionist OTKs have become better too.
oh it fits definitely with jades
usually when i need a sturdy weapon card i used Shadowblade, but this thing's even better pumping jades
