I think this one is a wild card because Rogue is dead in the water right now. They really need this new set, even more than Rainbow DK or Overload Shaman.
Having a minion on board won’t be hard if Stealth makes a comeback. They have that previewed Mech already. You can even magnetize that to Voltron to get some extra defense.
Guys, hypothetical case: Say, Rogue has at least one minion on board from last turn, and they use the first Ability… isn’t that 10 Damage from just one card at 6 mana (2 cannons +2 attack on the minion)?
Like, I get that it’s a boring card, and it comes online pretty late for Rogue… but it doesn’t seem that bad. Only the defence ability seems terrible, but the other 2 seem fine. Worst case, you save a 1 cost minion for it and play it on 7.
Edit: Since Crab is mentioned, I’d argue the only big difference is that this Titan can also hit face at the cost of being kinda random with their Cannons.
My god. This is terrible and doesn’t even feel like a Rogue card. I bet this crap won’t even see play in any competitive rogue deck.
Possibly the worst titan so far…
Sure, if your opponent is a terrible player and plays out their turn 6 without playing anything to the board for 5 turns. Otherwise it’s a big maybe that the 4 damage is going face. Hitting a minion is just not worth it. Especially when the rogue player has far better turn 6 plays.
Looks like rogue is in for another dead set, are there enough miracle rogue cards staying in rotation to at least keep one viable rogue deck in tier 3?
This might be the first titan to get all 3 abilties off unless enemy has non target aeo.
In my review i have though out a possible play with the new minion to show what is possbile i can see potential even though it seems weak it really isnt.
Its not as bad as it seems however it does seem rogues are getting the mech theme as long as the mechs have the rogue traits like stealth and combo id be ok with it we already have one stealth minion confirmed.
We can discount him on turn 4 and play him turn 5 this mech is meant to be discounted.
We coul then get he effect of of buff our board or draws - 2 becuz it affects him and the board if there is a minion.
We then stealth him with the new mech that was revealed and there go
I would have prefered the minion buff be selectedable.
This titan is not normaly what i would associate rogues with but am willing to see what the supporting cards are before i make my final decision.
Rogue also has the Record Scratcher weapon, you might be able to play another minion and Voltron on an empty board thanks to that.
Isn’t this what happened to Rogue last year? All they had were Thief and Deathrattle memes until March of the Lich King cracked the meta wide open. And we were being terrorized for a month.
People are saying that the Titan is “weak”, because the devs are aware of the power of shadowstep.
But why not make the Titan want to stick on the board for a bigger outcome, like Norgannon (Mage Titan).
So that even if the Rogue shadowsteps it, it wouldn’t be worth.
They teased us with the Stealth/Magnetic minion which has more synergy with Norgannon?
Even if this gets to be Tier 1, it would be the replacement of Totem Shaman. A boring aggresive deck.
First Manastorm and now Norgannon. Let’s hope the keeper for Mage will actually be playable. As much is it the “fun” class, it still needs survivability for cards like these to shine.
Before some donkies start crying about Solid Alibi. First, play the class and then speak. Right now Mage does “nothing” until Turn 4 and then relies on situational win conditions that drop way too late.
