I can already see the morbidly sickening, degenerate things this card will enable
Nice card. When Aggro Rogue gets nerfed, this will make midrange more viable, since - sadly - almost all good midrange decks rely heavily on mana cheats.
just why? :(
Not even good for memes, honestly, no tempo rogue deck ever ran Edwin as an essential part of it.
I think Blizzard wants Rogue to be more tempo less aggro class so they made super strong tempo Rogue legendary that can't be used by aggro.
As a Rogue player couldn't be more happy with it. I hate aggro decks
Huh, so now we can run 3 copies of Foxy Fraud (or 4 if you look at how many cards we can cheat mana on).
Nice target for Tenwu of the Red Smoke
Maybe with Scabbs Cutterbutter rogue can play minions that cost more than 6...
Still will only be able to reduce by 3 with tenwu, not 6. If you play this, tenwu and play again, it will use up both discounts. It does make them more playable as 4 or 5 mana cards at least, but still wouldn't be able to play them earlier than the initial mana cost unless you shadowstepped scabbs, and played it alongside a 0 mana card the next turn. Could potentially play a 7 mana card on turn 6 or an 8 mana card on turn 7. Does that make big cards worth running? Probably not. Seems better to use it for early board swings
That gnome is totally one of those Alliance Rogues who kill all the quest givers in the Barrens and stealth up to gank all the new players. (I should know since I was one of them back during Wrath lmao)
outo include in any deck
Honestly, I can't think of a modern rogue deck that WOULDN'T run this card. It's just an auto-include in basically every deck, as it is a body that cheats mana. It can also enable really brutal curves--for example you can play this on turn 3: Coin + Foxy Fraud + Scabbs Cutterbutter + S:I7 Agent + Ticket Master.
Doesn't seem great for aggro rogue. Most of your cards are less than 3 mana so it wouldn't be that much value considering the combo and initial mana commitment. It's definitely great for tempo rogue, which is what you described, but with a lot of 1 mana cards in your deck, it becomes far less powerful
How could aggro get a better board than that on t3? A 3/2, 2 3/3’s, and a 4/3 on turn 3? Even with cards that cost 1 or 2, you still get good value too. I’m going to go out on a limb and say this will be a must-have for all rogue players.

Look at this list and honestly tell me how this card will be good in it. Aggro rogue actually doesnt usually want to flood the board becuase it leaves them more open to board clear. on average, you can maybe hope for 4 mana of discounted things with scabbs, which makes it a 0 mana 3/3. Is a 0 mana 3/3 on turn 4 or 5 good in aggro? No. If you could play it on turn 1, yes it would be great, but playing a 3/3 when trying to burst your opponent down doesn't do much.
Once again, will be great in tempo rogue, maybe even enough to make it tier 1, but none of those cards listed are played in aggro rogue.
It's good, but it's pretty expensive itself though. You gotta play a card first, then this, then two more. You get some discounts but you need to play 4+ cards in the turn, and the last two cards need to cost 3 or more so you don't waste value. Not as easy to use as it looks.
So many shenanigans in one card, where do I even start? I think this could be the card that pushes mill rogue to tier 1, or at least high tier 2. Some crazy broken stuff you can pull off with scabbs, brann, coldlight oracles, and shadowstep.
Nobody: Blizz can u plz print more cards that cheat mana and make rogue turns take it to the rope every time?
just what everyone loves, a big swing turn card! Never frustrating
Blizzard plzzz... dont print cards that drive you nerf one week after.
So you coin this on 3 and play a body with 3-3 stats and 6 mana of any other combo/tempo cards. That seems bad it should make you win instantly tbh
