This is just about the coolest card I've seen in a long time. Stealth protects it, then you get a really nifty and potentially very powerful copy effect which you can trigger immediately with the Rush.
And yet, it doesn't seem broken. So many new powerful things seem utterly broken. This does copy a deathrattle, and that has sometimes been quite strong in Rogue. But this can't "cheat" a deathrattle out for low mana cost. Really fair, and a tonne of potential to do cool things.
Interesting card to open new deck building strategies for Deathrattle Rogue in both Standard and Wild
Also, it doesnt support any OTK Combo / Cost Reduction Rogue, which is a good thing.
So far, a lot of DR payoff, not much actual DR. I have to assume there's going to be something good coming soon.
Eh, Ticketmaster, Loan Shark, Nerubian Egg, Lilian Voss, that 4 drop that summons a 3 drop. There're good deathrattles.
I dunno, Egg is the kind of DR you throw in because there's nothing better. Ticketmaster is super slow. Loan Shark is fine if you have a use for coins beyond general Roguishness.
The only big issue I have with Ticket Master is 3 health minions aren't very effective. And whole decks have been built around Egg. It's still an amazing tempo card. Lilian is good, especially in the tempo deck where this would fit.
This is also a stealth minion, so all those synergies work too.
I agree that Egg has been good in the past, but it has been quite some time since it appeared in anything remotely competitive. Some cards just don't stay good. Lilian is great, but also legendary, so there's a lot more space to fill.
But what modern deck would Egg see play in? It's just bad because atm it doesn't fit anywhere. It's not really suited to DR Demon Hunter. Also I don't think a card is bad just because it isn't seeing play *right now*.
It could be fine and will probably be in some version of this deck ... I just have my doubts about this deck unless another strong DR comes along.
Oh, so the next turn you can go face with it, play a deathrattle minion and since it transforms you can attack a minion with it?
Powerful card. It can perform excellent in early as tempo or be greedy if drawn in late game. Brilliant. Also the stealth can be useful to prepare a big turn with the 3 mana objetive etc.
finally a good support for deathrattle rogue
In wild with the new hero card hero power and nzoth, you can actually build a (maybe?) good dr rogue?
This is actually really interesting. I like it, even if it doesn't turn out to be super strong.
Fantastic with 1 mana deathrattle drops, fantastic with 3 mana deathrattle minions, fantastic with high-costed slow deathrattle minions. So many ways to use this card.
Interesting that this would gain divine shield from copying Taelan Fordring
Also could be used as a 4 damage board clear that does 6 damage to one target when combined with Explosive Sheep. Since the copy will have rush and will kill the other sheep. Would require a control rogue deck to make use of it though, of course.
Trying to think of the more strange uses for the card, btw. In standard, this would of course be used in a more straightforward tempo deck.
The first time I read this through I read it as "Summon a 2/2 copy of it with Rush" and about died.
Thought the exact same thing and ya my mind exploded from the OP possibilities
Nerubian Egg itself cannot be used in standard.
Nerubian Egg is part of the core set in standard at the moment.
