This is better piloted shredder, buttough to know if that would see play in today’s meta. regardless it’s a good tempo rogue card
Cool card. Two health may make getting the value challenging, even with stealth. Lots of 2+ damage AOE spells.
Worse Truesilver Champion?
Two 4/2s for 4 mana, guaranteed 4 damage and stealth synergy to boot. This will see lots of play. And yes, Stealth Rogue is already a thing.
So you have a Jungle Panther along with a “Deathrattle: Deal 4 Damage to a random Enemy.”
The whole Jungle Panther Stats is pretty bad nowadays (even with Stealth (Unless your going more Tempo / aggro-wise) just becuase the Health and cost is off compare what we are used too nowadays, but the “Deal 4 Damage to random Enemy” (escpially becuase nobody really lives with 2 health) is not that bad. Obviously the RNG is whatever, but Hey. 4 Damage is 4 Damage. Some people smell Control, others smell Aggro, I think this can fit wherever, but I don’t think a whole lot of Rouges (Escpially Galakrond Rouge) would want to Consider using it, when they someone like Flik Skyshiv.
I’d say it’s 2 stars for Control, becuase they can find better Cards (Probaply.), But 4 Stars for Tempo / Aggro, becuase the 4 Damage means a lot to them. So 3 Stars, I guess.
First of all: Lore rating is 5/5 because this perfectly reflects Lilian’s story.
For the gameplay…It is rather expensive but might make some nice trades. Since it has stealth you have control over it (in most cases). I think it is better than Akama and if Stealth Rogue becomes a thing, Lilian will see play. Overall, Rogue will probably have completly new archetypes, due to Galakrond’s Nerf, and who knows what midrangy deck this could end up in.
Arena 4/5
Standard 3/5
Wild 0/5
Hmm… now this is an interesting design.
Not interesting for its effect, interesting because I don’t really see what the developpers are trying to push here. Deathrattle Rogue synergies have always been powerful but too few to make a whole deck around it, and the best card of the archetype – Necrium Blade – is long gone. You can still pull this with Necrium Apothecary, this is not a bad Deathrattle but probably not good enough of a reason to run Apothecary in the first place.
Stealth definitely plays in this card’s favor however, as you can use it as an otherwise good minion in a deck that likes Stealth synergies, and Stealth has a bit of support thanks to Outland right now, so this could work nicely. More importantly Stealth shields this from Silence and getting killed by a random 2 damage which is very easy to find for all classes. This basically guarantees that you can make optimal use of the 4 damage and also get the Deathrattle afterwards.
The fact that the summoned minion attacks immediately is also a nice touch as it guarantees it will do something before it dies. For instance you could use Lilian to dispose of a Taunt in such a way that the Deathrattle minion attacks the Hero directly afterwards.
I think this card has quite a few things going for her, the only issue I see with her is that right now she doesn’t push any particular archetype in a significant way (you could argue Stealth is an archetype, but I wouldn’t go that far). She’s quite good on curve but doesn’t really have any great synergy as of now, and is also quite lackluster on later turns because of that.
I still rate her 4/5 because of Stealth, decent attack stat on top of a Deathrattle that’s guaranteed to trigger. Since she’s 4-mana I think she could be a playable card in various types of Rogue decks; perhaps some more cards of the set will somehow synergise with her too, even though I wouldn’t count on it.
A good card overall, even though she doesn’t have any clear place to be right now, it also means that she could potentially fit anywhere.
Good card? Sure. Boring card? Absolutely…
This is one of those cards that one just puts in the deck cause it’s a stronger than average minion. Boring card, boring rating 3/5
Who knows, perhaps they’re going to try to revive Deathrattle Rogue again? I mean, Deathrattle Rogue was dead from the start (you could say it’s in the name), but they can still try, they’ve kept doing it over the years after all.
It deals a lot of damage when it trades in, I also see it being easy to maneuver so that you trade this into your opponent’s only minion and guarantee face damage. Works with Rogue’s stealth cards too. Seems ok, but just ok.
We haven’t seen much Deathrattle support this year (It’s the year of the Phoenix, that should be all about death and rebirth) – new Deathrattle support cards could make this good too.
Let’s also not forget that Necrium Apothecary exists. Even though the high cost that comes with triggering post-nerf NA makes the whole thing not worth it with a Deathrattle such as this, its effect remains strong and a bit of Deathrattle support could bring him back in the meta. I’m just afraid that despite being a good card overall, due to her stats being split between her main body and her Deathrattle one, she might not be that good of a target for Deathrattle effects.
Yeah this will definitely be dropped into some rogue decks. As a break down it’s stealth so the 2 health doesn’t mean much and you would need RNG or aoe to hit it. Plus if you did hit it the death rattle would trigger causing it to attack a random enemy for 4. That translates out to a shadowbolt on a stick. However this can RNG hit face so it works more like a random soulfire with chance to leave a body if goes face and no discard.
And that’s ignoring the fact that it’s a legendary that has synergy with the deck type introduced last round due to stealth. So it’s more of a single drop in stealth card that’s semi sticky and is at a decent cost for stats and being an enabler.
This is like a boombot with the best death rattle result
Not good enough, i think this wont see any competitive play.
It’s slow for Rogue, Body is weak, and it’s easy for opponent to play around.
