Good catch. I didn’t put 2+2 together there. As was said. Academic Espionage would mitigate this.
This costs 1 by default with the pieces of C'Thun
Well it might cost less than Coerce
So we're just powercreeping Assassinate now?
Assassinate has been power crept a few times already, and it's not like it sees any play. So, it's not really power creeping over anything that's a real part of the pre-existing meta.
Coerce requires combo. Vilespine required combo. Sabotage and Onyx Spellstone hit random targets. Walk the Plank had a undamaged restriction.
When did it get power crept, exactly?
You literally answered your own question. If you think combo is hard enough to pull off in rogue that vilespine isn't a powercreeped to hell assasinate, then I don't know what to say.
So.... Un'goro, Un'goro is when Assasinate got power-creeped, which was a long time ago...
Powercreep means strictly better, which this is over assassinate since it costs the same or less and has no target restriction. All those other cards have restrictions that mean they're not strictly better.
Burgle Rogue approves in Wild. Can take out the bigger targets Spectral Cutlass quite can't.
Deck, NOT hand. Most burgle rogue cards wouldn't help it. Academic Espionage would be instant 0 cost though.
Academic Espionage, problem solved.
Or just play the new C'thun and it starts at 1 mana.
shuffle rogue, interesting
probably will be a meme like burgle rogue, but if it's fun I have no complains
Mill Rogue's prayers are answered!!!! Praise Iksar!
kappa
Assassinate power creep. Not as crazy as it looks tho. Basically a Shadow Word: Death
Not quite... This can target any valid minion, regardless of attack.
Thought that we'd be getting Tek'ris as a legendary minion but it seems it's in this spell art with Ka'zir, we still could see both of them as the second Rogue legendary and summoning the other one.
So Assassinate but can be used on all minions and lowers it's cost?
Got it.
C'Thun, the Shattered likes this a lot. With that card alone, the cost of Malevolent Strike goes down to 1 initially. Rogue is fantastic at drawing cards, so C'thun already makes a lot of sense for the class. Combine that with Ticket Master and Shadow of Death and you've got a solid foundation for a strong deck.
Not to mention Stowaway... C'thun rogue could be insane.
