Historically burgle rogue has been unviable besides the excavate package. Every other xpac where they release burgle rogue cards they are almost always unplayable. Why do they continue to make the same mistake over and over again. The 2 new 6 drop minions are almost impossible to get into play. Rogue does not have sustain so it is really hard to play anything with bad tempo but they continue to make burgle cards with terrible tempo. It makes it worse when you either get rushed down before you can get going or you have to hope that rng gives you the answer to 8000 zilliaxs being played.
What matchup is burgle supposed to be good in anymore? In the past its only favorable matchups were control preist and warrior. Now warrior can just Boomboss and destroy value decks that should, and have in the past, beat warrior. They can also just flood the board with zilliax with no consistent way to counter it.
It cant beat aggro and it cant outvalue slow decks, otk laughs at it… what is it even supposed to beat? This has been an issue with every burgle package released besides excavate. Wildpaw gnoll decks dont count because they just abused gnoll without really even playing burgle cards.
Maybe it is just supposed to be played for fun? Do people still play for fun in this game anymore?

Wtf are you talking about? What is “Health” Drink if not sustain? Does Cutlass not exist? Rogu can easily discover that Forge Priest minion and play it gazillion times with Sonya. I am amazed how people can say something so obviously untrue with a straight face.
All of the actual burgle cards are so slow compared to everything else. Look at Eudora and maestra. Those cards are the key burgle legendaries and they are unplayable. Cutlass is only good if weapon removal isnt popular. When you do play cutlass it becomes its own build because you have to play 4 or 5 other cards to support it. Standalone a 4 mana 2 attack weapon is not very good and slow to get online.
How many times have you seen the warlock drink played? 3 mana deal 3 is kinda bad
Discovering healing doesnt count you cant guarantee to get the quickdraw you want
Well, I have seen maybe a handful of burgle Rogues period but that is because everyone and their mother is playing Lamplighter Rogue.
And believe me, I know everything about the limitation of Cutlass because I am playing Cutlass Rogue for fun in Wild. But the decks against which you would need the healing of Cutlass (those pesky Pirate Shamans, Flood Paladins and other such nonsense) are not running any weapon removal.
But we broadly agree. Cutlass was too slow when it was released, it’s no wonder that couple years later it is still slow and before you have a decent Cutlass assembled it’s usually turn 6-7 and you are dead anyway.

Im with ya hege, i gave up today on rogue and started playing shaman, locatjon shaman, control shaman, excavate shaman, all types of shaman cause rogue just doesnt have it this expansion.
Excavate i guess is still fine i havent played it enough to know. Lamplighter is just plain dull and borong and isi guess okay, from what ppl say it is tier two

Everything Rogue is viable in Wild. You’re in the wrong format.
