huh.. never noticed (mainly because I don't play standard and I was going by the card's watermark on Hearthpwn, which still shows Naxx and not Core).
Thank you for the correction.
I don’t get why it’s a forsaken soldier, since when could they transform? The flavour here is kind of weak. It would make more sense if they were at least a mage or something.
Something something magic rogue disguising technique?
Hey, that's looking nice.
I kinda hope they reveal a new 3-mana DR minion that synergizes with this. Ticket Master is okay, but certainly not the best performer.
Don't forget about Nerubian Egg. You can coin this out turn 1 and play the egg on turn 2 for some crazy value.
That said, I only play wild, so I'm not sure how many methods there are to hatching your 0/2 egg in standard.
Edit: Also, Akama is still in standard. It's not immediate tempo, but its still something.
That's a good point, definitely some value to be had. But rogue would have a hard time hatching that egg without hitting it with its own spells or something. I'm smelling a new DR card yet to be revealed...
After looking the standard card pool over, it looks like possible "viable" options would be Teron Gorefiend, Cold Blood, Nitroboost Poison, Abusive Sergeant, Wriggling Horror, Backstab, Stockades Guard, and Crazed Alchemist. Honestly, more options than I was expecting.
Infiltrator Lilian could actually be insane. Especially if you kill their last minion with the 2/2 rush body so that the 4/2 it summons hits face.
Also randomly noticed that you can drop Ashtongue Slayer to deal 5 damage to a minion or face, then play a deathrattle, this transforms, and can attack again. This card has so many interesting uses it is actually insane.
.. I guess after Animated Broomstick I should have just given up hope then and there that they would ever assign a reasonable value to rush, ESPECIALLY when paired with deathrattle.
Rush remains the most undercosted attribute in the game since its inception.
Very strong tempo card.
Harbinger Celestia except its good
will get nerfed in one week
With this and graveyard, we seem to be headed towards DR rogue again.
