even disregarding the bonus effect, its still guarantee 2 damage which is always nice.
It like Flik Shyshiv, even if you cut out the bonus effect, its still decent.
Ugh, more aggro rogue support. Eviscerate on a stick.
But remember, Eviscerate itself is gone from Standard.
It doesn't say "if you drew this card this turn" to make sure everybody understand that it works with Secret Passage
so low value and this condition makes it almost useless beside arena mode maybe
Yes because SI:7 agent didn't see play for nearly 7 years.
I love everything about this card. The art work is amazing, bravo!
Gormok the Impaler vibes?
Definitely better than Gormok, even at a base level, and the condition isn't nearly as difficult to accomplish for rogue. But yes, the stats and effect are reminiscent for sure.
If rogue had scry effects like sphere of sapiens it could be really strong to manipulate your draw. Pokelt seems slow for rogue these days.
yeah, or a reverse Safety Inspector which put the highest cost card back in the deck. That could probably make the card work pretty well.
Oil is a fossil fuel 😆
Rogue has their own Cloud Prince now. That's not good
Nowhere near as broken as cloud prince... this new card will see no play in wild except for meme otk decks. Odd rogue can’t use it, doesn’t do anything for kingsbane or mill rogue, so yeah... Cloud prince is one of the reasons secret mage is one of the most broken decks in wild, so they don’t even compare. Might be good in standard, but that doesn’t make it broken.
I'm not gonna say it'll fit into any existing rogue deck, but my man, Spirit of the Shark, Shadowstep, Potion of Illusion, Sonya Shadowdancer, Barista Lynchen, Zola the Gorgon, unnerfed Galakrond, the Nightmare, Tenwu of the Red Smoke, etc. There was already the skeleton of otk decks with Spectral Pillager and Umbral Skulker but this seems like it has similar applications and less setup. Probably not tier 1 or tier two but it has so much burst potential with so little setup. It's a great card if a little boring.
Like I said, it will fit into meme otk decks lol. But that will still be tier 5 unless rogue gets some seriously better control tools
They also no longer have eviscerate so...
Yes, in standard it could see play for that reason. I don’t think the card is bad, just nowhere near as broken as cloud prince.
Good to play off of secret passage and shadowstep/tenwu. Would suck starting with this in your opening hand though. Also probably why they didn’t include evis in core set
probably good, whats the likelihood of rogue getting another bounce tool this expansion? Shadowstep, Youthful Brewmaster (lol), and Tenwu of the Red Smoke isn't enough
If I play it, and use shadow step on the next turn, is it counted to " entered in your hand this turn"? I think it is.
