So we got pirate rogue, death rattle rogue, burgle rogue, and stealth rogue being pushed this expansion. Then , there is this card. Just awkward as can be.
This is rated worse than River croclisk!
If this card read: “Combo: Destroy a friendly minions. Put a copy of it into your hand.” it would actually be good. Sort of a thing for both battlecry aswell as deathrattle. I’d use that and make a jadegolem-nzoth-rogue. But like this….might be slightly better than brewmaster but brewmaster never even really saw play in millrogue. People might try it out for that milldeck and it could even find a permanent slot in it but i highly doubt that deck will be any good this coming expansion. Too bad, i was really hoping for rogue to become better, Reno-nzoth-cthun-rogue was my favorite deck for the last 2 expansions.
Looks like MORE disappointment for rogues again.
Better nerf Blade Flurry
Next expansion: buff Rogue
Like seriously
I don’t understand people who think this card isn’t crap or think it is better than Youthful Brewmaster. If you are playing this card in your deck, it is obvious that you want to use it to return cards to hand, otherwise you would just play another good 2-drop. There is very rarely a time that you would want to play Brewmaster just for the body and not the effect (other than as a tempo play on turn 2 or on an empty board). The combo effect makes it more difficult to use the returning ability. I suppose if you want to run more than 2 Youthful Brewmasters in your deck, this is a good addition. Other than that, why not just run Youthful Brewmaster?
It is a nice card you can use it with some 1 or 2 drops with a nice value battlecry or it may see some plays with strong jade battle cry minions
No way we don’t see brawl master and that 3/2 panda in any deck even reno
It is a nice card for some value its strong with 1 or 2 mana battelcry cards and it may could strong with some jadebattelcry minions
This card isn’t that bad. It’s better than Youthful Brewmaster because you have to use the battlecry with that card. You at least have the option to combo this card or just play it as a body.
It’s a river beast now if you don’t use the combo in some way to your advantage
You’re all nuts for thinking this is a crap card.
Then why youthful isn’t see play? Idioit
It is a bad card, but not the worst and by a long shot, the combo mean you can cast it first and dont peek anything back to the hand , or play in combo for the effect, and whit this is better then brewmaster, brewmaster has not seen real play becouse in the middle late game if you have a bard and you need it te brewmaster remove one of your minion. I don’t say it is good, it is still bad, but is not purify, it comes out in an adventure out of 3 cards for the lower class….
A couple things about this card…
It’s an anti-aggro version of Brewmaster; the statline is arguably better in the aggro matchups, capable of trading against 1/1’s and 2/1’s, but Brewmaster can trade up for like 3-4 cost minions.
If you’re going to play a powerful battlecry, you want to bounce it back right away so you don’t risk losing it. Hence the combo mechanic; it does decently in Mill (yet still outclassed sometimes by Brewmaster) and can synergize greatly with Jade Lotus cards, or simply a combo-starter if you don’t want to bounce anything back (another positive is that you technically don’t have to bounce something back to start a combo).
It’s still a sub-par card though; Brewmaster isn’t even getting used, so I doubt this will. Idk, I guess this might get play if Rogues get another powerful battlecry (Jade Golems or Mill) or stealth (Oh btw the Lotus Assassin as well as our legendary synergizes half-decently with this card).
Honestly with the horrible cards we have, I kinda want some sort of either heal or damage mitigation outside of neutral cards. Rogue desperately needs it, but then again aggro is going to get destroyed in the coming meta, so we may not need it :3
Why is this card rated so low? If there was something that a Jade Rogue deck wants in its lategame is more shadowsteps for its Battlecry: Summon Jade Golem cards. Sure it’s weird why it’s a 2 drop, despite being a class card it sure is just a weaker version of Youthful Brewmaster, but time will tell will that matter enough. I’d still rate it 3.5/5.
It’s actually stronger than youthful brewmaster. The combo means that you can play it first without needing to return a minion if you choose, and the 2/3 is better than a 3/2 currently in my opinion.
Don’t get me wrong, still a bad card. Rogue is going to be the priest of this expansion.
WAT THA FUCK, why blizzard ? why so many shit cards for rouge ? they nerfed blade fury saying that they will add some nice weapons for rouge WHERE ARE THEY ? And this shit cards !! MY god !
This is up there with Warsong commander and Purify as worst class cards.
I’m so sad that blizzard released just shit for rogue.
They definitely CANT talk about “balance classes” and do this joke after. =/
The real problem with this card is… You already have this effect with out the combo, you get no other real venefice from actually combo this card. If this card was Shadowstep in a stick (minion this case, magic reference) NOW that would be worth it
Seems pretty solid arena card, a better version of Youthful Brewmaster cause you can decide if trigger the combo or play it first. In constructed it should be awesome in a mill deck maybe 😉
Im not sure why this card is so poorly rated.
For a 2mana card, it has pretty decent stats, 2/3 is not bad if you are hoping to make a tempo-rogue deck (as I am).
Secondly, within the rogue class, this combo-effect has almost endless possibilities! You can hit with your SI:7 agent, get it back to the hand and do an aditional 2 damage to the board, or get another 2/1 from your Defias Ringleader, or even get more value from Jade Spirit.
This card has a lot of usefullness. You just have to be a liiiiiiiiiiiiiittle creative, not even much. 🙂
More like “combo: pick a different class”
I can think of a deck that can make some use of this card. Though this deck is the greedyest of all))
Ok’ish arena card.. unplayable in constructed as its not an auctioner card
Also would like to mention that Youthful Brewmaster is in fact a classic card that exists and is better than this CLASS CARD. Why Blizzard why.
Technically Yourful Brewmaster is worse in most cases. The problem with brewmaster is that you cannot play it to a board without sending anyone back, thus preventing you from playing it most of the time.
What this card should say is Combo: Return a friendly minion to your hand and summon a Jade Golem.
This would be a fairly pointless card anyway because of Youthful Brewmaster… but in Rogue, when there’s Shadowstep?
This is a dead card, Rogues already have ShadowStep, Vanish, Kidnapper AND the Brewmasters… I swear Rogues are going to be the lowest it has ever been after this expansion…
It’s nice to see a combo card which you may choose to play before any spell depending on the situation. I don’t think the effect is not good enough, though.
This card might be much stronger than everyone thinks. Combos well with swashbuckler and si agent
This is shit but maybe it can work in fatigue rogue
worse than a neutral card lol
Really!? They could at least discount the minion you return.
True they are beeing bad with Rouge I see no addotions to the miracle or the mally. Maybe just the join steer.So they wanna push the steal Rougue. Lets see if its good.
Oh look it’s “Ferry-fy”
What’s the point of this card when we have Youthful Brewmaster ?
i dont see any reason to play it over brewmaster …. oh there is only one to have 4 effeckts and it can be played as turn 2 play without effeckt with minion on board… i dont now its janky card it may see some plays in janky-wacky combo decks as another copy of brewmaster … i dont now
Why not just use 3/2 guy which doesn’t need combo? This card needs an extra affect on it like shadow step or something to see use
being combo make it so u can play it after 1 drop wich u dint wana bounce back in tempo wich is just a bit + for that card
Mill? Here i go!
I predict this will be nerffed 1 week after release. Unbalanced and OP.
My absolute favourite class getting so wrecked with abysmal cards 🙁
FeelsBadMan man, rogue new worst class
New? When the only viable deck for a class is basically the same deck for the past three expansions IDK, I think that is pretty bad already. No matter if the deck was semi-viable.
