It would be more viable if it were to say “until you draw this” or something in that direction. It would still trick the opponent at first, and the opponent might have to remind him/herself that this is a rogue, not a priest, until this is drawn. It would also fit more into burgle that way, since you could play a rogue quest etc.
So how does this work I presume the opponent knows you’re rogue at the start with the Vs spiel or do they genuinely think you’re another class until you play a rogue spell? I suppose it’s not obvious what the start of the game is.
The point is to trick your opponent in the mulligan stage. That’s the only way this card makes sense.
Also the first few turns, since the way it’s worded you get a new hero power as well.
For example if you get Demon Hunter, you can punch face on turn 1 for some extra damage.
Understood but start of game effects usually only happen when the board is setting up right, this should be worded before the game starts when your opponent sees which class your playing or something along those lines. Of course it would be useless in tournaments.
this is easily the coolest card of the set, very well designed. i dont know if its worth running though, like how much would you value screwing up your opponent’s mull? also you cant use your rogue hp until you play a rogue card.
Hmm, maybe you get the rogue hero power after you play a rogue card.
Yup, so if you have some decent neutrals in the set you can play the other class with it’s discover pool and hero power until the big (or small) reveal.
See complain enough and Blizzard gives Rogue 9 other Hero Portraits at once!
on the one hand, you are running a vanilla 2 3/2…
that’s the only negative thing I can say
but like, fucking up the opponent mulligan and even potentially generating non-rogue cards is REALLY good.
The fan made card is finally real!
