Yay, a draw engine for espionage rogue, come on hegemonkey, this is what eudora espionage rogue has been needing!

It’s a good quest and reward but I am not a fan of it being directly tied to the spies package. I guess you can still run it without the other bunch but still, you miss out on part of the payoff.

I am not convinced a sticky board of stealth 3/3s is all that good (not bad either), so it’d be nice if the payoff was more flexible in terms of deck building possibilities.

Does rogue still have striders? Spiders would be great with that hero power

What’s the output of random(random(random(random(random)))))?

You guessed it.

It’s random.

So we’re looking at

Priests and pallies can just press their button to get endless stream of minions
Druids also can press their button and get endless golems
Mage can even go imbue and press button for endless wisps (and pew pews)
Rogues can get endless ninja turtles (not like they can’t keep replaying that 2/2 DR thing)
Warriors and DH go taunts/DR and get… not quite infinite, but practically it’s more than enough minions. But hey if that fails…

…KJ gives everyone endless minions

Are there any minion decks left that don’t rely on some crazy near or literally infinite value engine? Or is the alternative OTKs and combos?

At the risk of being reported for posting i’ll brave the tools on this forum and do it. this just looks fun to play. Certainly looks interesting for different type of deck designs for sure.

Insta complete with the 4 mana pirate that shuffle your hand and draw that many cards?

It’s been confirmed by developers. It means shuffle as an act that many times. Doesn’t matter how many you shuffle in at a time only that you did a shuffle. You need to do that 5 times. Hence why there are cards for them in the set that shuffle.

Ah so shuffling asteroids and bouncing the asteroid minion will be fun again. Dont really see a need for the espionage nonsense. Just asteroids, incindius and that kind of garbage with alot of draw/shuffle. New miracle rogue completing quest before turn 5 with steps and preps and enjoying the deck playing itself. Hmm, have we seen this before? Maybe more than once?
Hope im wrong but blizzard track record with card design isnt great.

Yeah, you basically do what the cycle Rogue was already doing but now you have infinite board presence and another way to trigger the asteroid or Incindius spells. with the draw of the deck slowed it’s just going to do what it did before but a turn or two slower i am afraid.

Doesn’t seem that good to me…?
I can see Asteroid use, but the stealth thing? Seems very week.

Can I just put out there that the cast when drawn win condition mechanic is the most boring thing they’ve added to the game in history. Be it plagues, bombs, dragons, turtles, spiders, asteroids, eruptions, whatever the garrote thing was and everything else I missed its just such a pointless way to win/lose to.

I dont mind the concept if its part of some casino espionage thing even though I’m not a huge fan of casino decks either but enough is enough with shuffling random stuff in the deck that wins the game.

I hope they retire the whole mechanic soon (likely not).

Oh lets not forget that steamcleaner is in standard again so the deck is dead anyway.

There will be times when people lament: I wish it was taunt instead of stealth.

The only question is, how often.

I can see two directions:

  • An aggro direction, which may actually cut the quest entirely but use some of the ninja stuff.
  • A miracle direction with limited or no ninja package. Most likely looking very similar to current versions of miracle rogue.

The more ninjas you have in your deck with this Hero in play, the less lethal you become on board in the late game. You would be constantly drawing ninjas and spawning 3/3s with stealth that’s won’t attack this turn, which means board locking yourself for more worthwhile minions.

This is missing better stat snowballing to be worth investing in. Something like Battlecry: give Ninjas in your deck +1/+1 or Ninjas you summon this turn have +1/+1 for each card you’ve drawn this turn. That’d be a fun echo of Nathria’s miracle rogue gameplay.

I might be underestimating this but, as is, I’m not very hopeful for the ninja direction. Miracle rogue might still be crazy strong though.
