can’t wait for another skill intensive rogue deck to get shot in the back and have the whole class suffer a 35% WR for another expansion

I don’t even think the deck is good at all, at least the versions we have seen. But it is 100% a toxic play pattern that people will have nerfed. I don’t even mind it tbh, that card is problematic and I don’t want Sonya nerfed because of it.

Rogue was the strongest class in Perils overall and even after nerfs, it was the strongest in Whizbang overall and it was the strongest in Badlands after buffs.
The 35% wr statistic is just global across all ranks because Rogue decks require slightly above average thinking to pilot. In top Legend Rogue has been the strongest class for 3 expansions in a row.
Actually, currently Cycle Rogue is 2nd to Pispi Paladin in top 1K. But as you suggested, it is only 22nd when you expand the rank pool to Diamond-Legend. But I’d still say that 3 days isn’t long enough to establish a stable meta nor enough consistent data to evaluate a deck’s power level.
I like the idea of piloting the deck but are they really that good against elemental mage, if you get lucky with any type of card draw in the first 4 turns with prep and quasar yeah I could see that, but what if you are not getting any of those cards and start to come online by turn 6? The meta is quite fast now
Elemental Mage is like 40% WR, as is most other aggro decks
Your counting on a turn 4/5 quasar and a pop-off that turn which often leads to bricked hands with Incindieus/Shadowstep
And before you tell me to run the non-step/incindieus version, that version auto loses to Odyn Warrior which makes up a pretty large section of the meta rn.
Ah I see you added incendius for tougher matchups, cool cool
The sole purpose of Quasar is to create a toxic play pattern, how this actually made it into the game is staggering to me. This is the perfect example of everything wrong with card design in Hearthstone.

This deck is so thrilling, you could get the same experience playing against a bot since it practically plays itself only and ends the same way every time.
No worries, vent; I’ll suggest Blizzard give you access to the tutorial boss AI with a pre-nerf Quasar Rogue, so you can enjoy yourself there.

Same could be said about Time Warp Mage but you do you king

Also yeah, one of the devs on reddit says it’s definitely getting dumpstered next balance patch
So they literally created a card in order to be able to nerf it later. There is 0 reason for them to have created that card other than to break the game eventually and have to nerf it. Mabye if they were releasing more than 9 class cards in an expansion it would be ok… but to create a card just to nerf later is absurd.
