I just quickly looked at some comments , and I saw none on how this helps MILL Rouge , like come on all the new copy tech with cold light and this guy plus The Darkness , lol it will be my first deck for sure
If you would fully read the text on the cards maybe you’d understand.
Just use nerubian ambush cos it shuffles onto opponento deck rather than yours
I’m pretty sure this card is bad. Miracle rogue doesn’t need spiders to win after it already goes off, it has arcane giants + valeera or leeroy + shadowstep. Outside of that, you not very likely to draw the spiders except in very grindy games. (Remember the ambush card everyone thought would be good?)
Of course it’s better than beneath the grounds but that doesn’t make it good.
fail prediction. why would a 12/12 for 4 mana ever be bad.
yo hype this shit, miracles just got better! play this on turn 4 or 5, turn 6 play gadget and basically make it rain spiders lol
Why would they release such a broken card? This is just crazy! Should be nerfed right away!
does anyone know if the ambushes trigger combo?
my favorit card of the set by far i will prolly make a deck based purely around this card for the lols. this card seems strong enough that it may be a viable deck as well
10/10
Pure value. This card would still be a 9/10 if it was 5 mana, so you know that it’s a great card. Even if it doesn’t see the most play, it gets a high rating on value alone.
imagine with valeera dk 2 of them will be crazy shuffle 12 ambushes into your deck
Amazing card, a bit too strong though
Il be making sure to use the hell out of this before it gets nerfed
omg, what a fantastic card! Probably the best of this expansion… and you can have 2! hahahah
It really is ! 🙂 THE BEST CARD OF EXPANSION YET…
800 Dust to be spent on this, since I will never find it and it will be in every rogue deck! 😀
PS: some1 said tempo rogue has poor 4-mana drops? :D:D:D
From what I can tell from the Ambush card, it is indeed a spell that gets cast, so it should discount Arcane Giant, but it won’t trigger Gadgetzan Autioneer or Wild Pyromancer.
I want to know how it would work with Valera the Hollow. If we draw it and cast it automatically, does it change the shadow copy in hand to it or not?
Definitely a must craft for Miracle Rogue.
With DK is says when ever you play a card and since your not playing the Ambush then you dont get a copy. even if you did get a copy its just four mana for a 4/4 and nothing else. If anything with DK you want to play this creature its self each turn and be able to flood the board with 4/4s each turn. Best bet is to have all the rreturn cards and play the same one over and over and try to save the second one for DK.
The spell is summon a 4/4 spider AND draw a card
I have 2 important messages from you in future.
“Bull#%^* RNG!!! Every game Strider on 4! Spider! Spider! Spider! GG I hate everything!”
“Bull#%^} RNG!!! I never draw these dumb spiders! GG I hate everything!”
So basically classic Blizzard card design.
Thats every card game. Thats why card draw is so improtant and being able to draw faster then your opponent is usually a good thing. Rogue has enough draw that it should not be an issue in the right deck.
Does the spider casts count towards arcane giant discount? Does the cast count towards sherazin card cast? If so for either this card is insane. Miracle was the first deck I made in beta, its been through so many variations and im excited that its taking a new direction.
Its should but i might be mistaken. Reading the rules on Arcane Giant it should discount it. This card jsut seems like a lot of fun and im jsut imagining returning this multiple times over and over again and getting copies to fill up your deck to the point that you can almost refill your board each turn. Or at least bring out one 4/4 each or every other turn.
or in wild with Brann, and gang up, shadow step, and coldlight oracles to draw them, it could actually almost be viable O.o
I’ve been doing Jade Rogue in wild and its fun but this seems a lot more interesting and seems like it can become much more annoying faster. Faster then trying to Gang Up on Aya then use N’Zoth to bring them back.
Liking this idea. With all the bounce effects and copy effects you can just Zerg out 4/4s. Don’t know how competitive that would be, but yes lots of fun and laughs
So we take Beneath the Grounds, and for one extra mana, we tack on an upfront 4/4? That sounds like a bargain! Of course, a 4 mana 4/4 is bad, but if even one of these ambushes comes out, it suddenly becomes an insane 4 mana 8/8. Anything beyond that is just bonkers. And now the Ambushes are in your deck, but I think that just makes it better. Rogue is known for rapidly drawing cards in Miracle, and it seems like a match made in heaven. Time will show whether Miracle can fit this in (I’m not personally much of a Rogue player myself so I can’t say for certain), but it seems like it’ll work well. And this card can be Shadowstepped, which also sounds fun. And these auto-cast Ambushes replace themselves? I like this card. I like it a lot. Time will tell on if its unfair enough to see play in the meta, but I’m going to be extremely optimistic in my rating of this card because I just like it.
And it also sounds good in Arena. Less good, as you’re going to be drawing less cards, but it seems very plausible to drop this on turn 4 and at least see one of these ambushes come out before game end for insane value.
Standard: 5/5
Arena: 5/5
I like the direction Rogue’s are going. Not the Rogue in today’s meta though, i hate it. But i really hope that Rogue will be viable in other ways. I’m thinking this card into a Mill Rogue >:)
how does it work with marin’s goblet stuff?
“If you get this in your hand somehow (Thoughtsteal for example) they are castable spells that summon a 4/4.”
I reckon if you draw it, it’ll summon the 4/4, draw a card, then fill your hand with Ambushes. That’s just my interpretation of it tho.
Time to make an Ambush deck >:3
Beneath the Grounds, Fal’dorei Strider, Shadowcaster Shenanigans w/ Brann, Mimic Pod and Thistle Tea. Will it work? Heck yeah. Consistently? Heck no. But heck’a fun 😀
hey will this work like TGT ambush when you draw the 4/4 and it gets played will you automaticly draw another card or will that count as your card draw…. the card in TGT when your oponent drew the card it would be put into play then they would draw another card
also im looking forward to shadowstep shenanigans with this regardless
The cards that are shuffled in your deck are like that of tgt, they summon a 4/4 and draw a card.
Wow, might very well be the best four cost in Hearthstone! Or at least Kobolds and Catacombs! 4 mana for a 4/4 minion is good, but add to that that he gives you a bonus 12/12 stats later tin the games makes this thing completely broken! I don’t play much rogue but this may drive me to it!
Wait it automatically casts it for 4 mana when drawn, that doesn’t seem very good. I mean it’s kind of like, 4 mana shuffle 3 4/4 spiders in your deck when drawn spend 4 mana summon spider and draw a card. So it’s basically 4/4 draw a card kind of. It just seems like it messes up what you’ll want to do in later turns since it gets rid of 4 mana when drawn
what r u talking about? Its 4/4 cast beneath the grounds for free
No. When you draw the card, it gets cast for free. You don’t use up any mana for the later 4/4’s
It sais on card that gets shuffled that it’s costs 4 mana
I’m sorry I was mistaken, I was confused because of the mana cost but it said above that it is cast for free
The mana cost for the spell is only relevant if it ends up in your hand by some means other than drawing it from your deck. This would be likely a priest opponent using Thoughtsteal, Devour Mind, Crystalline Oracle, or Shifting Shade.
OH! Or if you are the rogue and using the new cards that interact with spells in your deck, like Grand Archivist or Spiteful Summoner.
So with other words if I have two of this in my deck.
Play shadowstep on both I get a total off 12 free 4/4 minion.
Then if I manage to do that with Brann Bronzebeard on the filed. I get a total of 24 free 4/4 minions..
Then I use Gang Up on one of those that I played and once I play those six I will get another 18 free 4/4 minions… Then as a finnish up I will have a few return to hand minions. So I can replay those 6 another time and get 18 more free 4/4 minions…
To a total off 60 randomling popping 4/4 minions.
Only half that and a bunch of draws sound real dangerous, or am I missing someting? <.<
You could just toss in Quest to get them to 5/5 for the fun of it and with Rouge DK you could get even more copies into deck and draws played.
This feels like the cards you shouldn’t dust copies of, for when they nerf it and give full refound.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Made bank off of my two Golden Spreading Plagues I pulled.
Or… You play Infinite Shadowcaster Factory with 2x Shadowcaster (or have Valeera the Hollow up) + Brann, copy this, and fill your deck with Ambushes every turn. It’ll draw you to the end of the world, give you a card (or a fatigue), and you do it again! Sooo many animations 😀
5/5 Can synergise with Sonya THICCdancer
This month i get my Golden Rogue, next month is a Great month to be a Rogue gg.
Excelent card.
Is the best card for four cost place 😛
Remember that ambush card from the grand tournament? Yeah, well this is that on drugs. With anything that can bring this card back to the hand or make copies of it, this is so powerful. With each passing day these cards are becoming more and more powerful. Maybe this expansion won’t be a total disappointment.
This is the best 4 drop for rogue since tomb pillager. Finally I can come back to my beloved miracle.
You can even shadow Step this for addition Ambushes and in wild you can shuffle them into your opponents deck too
Ambush Rogue anyone? you can even add Nerubian eggs to fit the theme
This might even work in Mill Rogue to avoid fatigue and overloaded hands since it shuffles the ambushes into your deck and plonks the Spiders straight into the board.
With Cheat Death and Sonya Shadowdancer there are more ways to give yourself extra Coldlight Oracles as well…
you wouldn’t avoid fatigue because the ambushes just draw you an additional card.
Ach – would have helped if I’d moused over the Spider Ambush! card 😐
It DOES help with fatigue. If your hand is full then the ambushes DO count as cards drawn, as long as they are milled due to a full hand 🙂 just like Beneath the Grounds did before.
Do you draw a card after the summon or you just summon ?
I’m guessing it works like the old Nerubian ambushes and plops them straight on the board – except this time they’re in your deck rather than your opponent’s and it doesn’t cause a card draw.
You still draw a card along with summoning a 4/4.
if you still draw along with a 4/4 this is a powerhouse of a card
if not then its garbage.But it seems way to powerful to draw a card so i guess they will make it to just miss the draw.
Because Rogue wasn’t strong enough already. Now we’re gonna encounter EVEN MORE ROGUES ON LADDER because now Miracle Rogue will probably be viable! Yay!
I must say this expansion is the best one yet ! Really healthy cards for the game !
OMG !! This card is sooooo great !! MIRACLE Rouge is back ! THANK GOD! 10/10 card!
Exactly my thought!
YES! YES!! YESSS!!! They finally started making good AND PLAYABLE cards! that one is sick! miracle rogue kicks ass again 2 this sin your deck plus u can shadowstep e.t.c em and cast their battle cry again. the time you get acutioneer and spells to dig through you deck is the time your enemy consides!
*concedes
You’re so focused on powerful cards that you forgot about the fun aspect of the game (which is your reason for playing this game)
And you insult the Hearthstone team for making “Non-viable cards” (which you don’t even know if they’re viable yet) then you explode with happiness when theres a decent card out
like freaking chill its a digital card game there is no need to act so childish
I’m pretty sure you’re a netdecker too so there’s no need for you to evaluate cards
You speak the truth men haha
“I’m pretty sure you’re a netdecker too so there’s no need for you to evaluate cards”
TIL people who netdeck can’t be allowed to understand whether a card is good or not
You’re probably that mad cuz never reached legend. no problem son some day you will … some day… or maybe not =)) and probable are 14-15 years old child with alcoholic father or something like this.
1. If you want to have fun go play casual, this one comment is about ranked games! and no one cares about your childish “fun” it competitive game wake up kid.
2. Every normal gamer has its own opinion and he is free to post it in social network so you can go and fight some kids in your yard if so mad.
3. Nonviable cards dont exist there are non-viable cards in competive scene ranked e.t.c but the fact that card is created means that it is viable. go home you are drunk son!
4. This card is descent and everyone agrees with me and its playable and that why it has 4.8 from 400 votes. That proves that lots of people share my opinion not yours kid. so dont be mad at me.
5. I dont care about you being player or not even about your life and so dont be mad. you dont even know what netdecker is so read before you post and insult others son.
Note: learn the game build your own competitive decks and have fun winning not playing random fun decks with 0 win rate. or quite this game.
The tone in every one of your comments just… Disgusts me…
Games are meant to be fun; deal with it 😀
Games are made to be competitive 😉 and thus playable! want some fun ask your friend to tell you a joke bro.
Too many comments to reply to yours… rip
The only reason a person ever plays a game is to have fun. That being said, fun can come from anything between winning and playing meme decks. Don’t judge others on the other side of the spectrum.
That being said, (avoiding hypocrisy) I do not judge your version of fun through winning; everyone has some happy feeling through winning. I’m simply stating I have more fun playing a meme deck at rank 20 and winning as opposed to grinding legend every season with a net deck, and I know plenty other people do as well.
Why are you calling other people children when you’re clearly someone that can’t even spell decently or phrase their sentences correctly? Are you triggered or high, calling other people your son?
1. Ranked games huh? Have you ever seen Miracle Rogue in the meta? I haven’t, its like a combo deck that gets run over by aggro & midrange/tempo. Most players are playing this game casually and thus, they are playing this for fun.
2. Then why are you getting mad? You said, everyone is free to post their views. We are just replying to your post about our views, if you wanna make a fuss out of it, don’t post your views then.
3. No idea what nonsense you are spouting… Just because its value is great does not mean it is viable. That’s why streamers wait for all the card reveals before giving their views about it.
4. Yeah, this card is playable. However, don’t get cocky just because 400 players give votes. There are 70 million players in Hearthstone, go check their official website. That 4.8 rating is just a estimation of how the card will perform.
5. He is not mad at you… you are the one getting triggered… he is just saying if you want to share your views, at least put some correct English and proper sentence structure.
Note: I think you are a kid as you can’t spell certain words correctly… descent or decent… sin or in… consides or concedes…? Please before insulting others, look at yourself. If you’re no better, its best to keep your opinions to yourself.
“You’re probably that mad cuz never reached legend. no problem son some day you will … some day… or maybe not =)) and probable are 14-15 years old child with alcoholic father or something like this.”
I don’t think I’ve ever cringed at irony so hard in my life.
That was the point 😉
A game needs to be fun first and foremost, from that a competitive scene can establish, no fun, no game eejit!
Game is fun when its competitive imho. If you lose 8 out of 10 game to some cancer there is no fun in that. Build deck, experiment with them, win games and you will have fun!!!
