True, but that's not the point, which is merely that it could be fun in and of itself and because it could be a "backup" plan in a deck that already has a typical Mecha'thun package to counter Dirty Rats and the like, regardless of effectivenes
Rogues never seem to get enough Deathrattle support in one rotation to make Deathrattle Rogue a thing.
Yeah, as of right now the only kinda good deathrattles in standard are the ticket guy and Lilian. There's Vagrant too, but he's super slow for rogue.
I feel like they will probably release another good deathrattle alongside this weapon.
Ticket guy shuffle rogue could be decent, but it's not quite there yet.
Realistically you don't really need to be playing this in a dedicated "deathrattle rogue" deck for it to be good, you just need to have like 5 or 6 deathrattles in your deck and it's already fantastic, and it's really not hard to fit that many. At worst if you have to play this before any of your deathrattle cards it's still a Truesilver Champion without the healing, which isn't amazing, but it's still a decently powerful card.
Two words: Wild exists
This is true. There's no doubt in my mind that DR rogue in wild could play with this.
My thinking, to piggyback on Raptor's point, is that in standard they don't often put out enough synergies in an individual set for a particular strategy to work by itself. Though, I believe we'll see at least one decent card to pair with this for standard. And maybe it won't be a DR rogue in full, but you'll be able to have some combos to work with.
Worth noting that it does not specify deathrattle minion. By that logic it should also be able to gain the deathrattles of weapons like Necrium Bladeand Kingsbane. of course it wont keep any enchantments but it's still neat
As far as i know, for some reason buffs given via battlecries (even if its the cards own) count as enchantments and are thus kept when shuffled into your deck.
There is already an interaction in the form of immortal prelate and da undatakah. Undatakah would copy prelates deathrattle and would keep it (and the other two deathrattles) when shuffled into your deck.
Its this interaction that made stacking undatakah battlescries, and Dane's 'unkillable' undatakah (undatakah keeps drawing drawing itself with meetwagon) possible.
As to why you would want a more expensive kingsbane with one less durability, i don't know.
In standard goes well with Infiltrator Lilian for an extra 4 (random) damage when you break the weapon ... but what are the chances of having played Lilian? (ideal scenarios you slap down the Baron just as you break the weapon for 12 damage ... but again, ideal scenarios).
I love Deathralle Rogue ... but I'm not seeing much at the moment ...
Well they added a good deathrattle tutor to Rogue now, so that's something!
Guys the effect of a 4/2 weapon for rogue is irrelevant, its another "punch enemy face" card
Still waiting for a 1 mana neutral spell: "delete priest from game" to be revealed
Such an original and insanely hilarious comment, you crack me up man!!1!
Wow, I bet you are fun at parties.
Another 4/2 weapon for Rogue. Do they know other stat variations exist?
With all the Poisons now available, any Durability greater than 2 is basically off the table.
It's probably one of the only stat variations for a reasonable mana cost that'll see any play. For something that can be instantly destroyed by weapon removal, much more than 2 durability isn't too great, and paying much more than 4 for something that you'll maybe just lose next turn to your opponent's 2 drop(if weapons are strong enough for people to run it in the meta) is kind of rough.
Elwynn Boar Would like to know your location.
I don't think it works like that. If the Weapon gets destroyed, it wasn't an additional Boar that got killed. It would only work after 7 Boars already died, at which point it's completely useless.
It doesn't work tho, Elwynn Boars have to die this just take the "If 7 died" deathrattle.
