Could replace Elysiana is control deck. The body is better as an early play to fight against an aggro board while if you wait until fatigue they may propose you Elysiana ?
Would have to be extensively tested

Strong but probably better in wild and even still not sure.
The problem with a quest in tempo rogue stays the same: you are starved in the mulligan for good card to have a start and the quest taking 33% of your mulligan really significantly reduce your chance to have such a good start.
3/5 a lots of people will try to make it work but will fail to each above tier 2 in a tempo deck.
Now there might be another kind of deck more late game who will rise on the back to that card.
We can always hope

The 3 mana potion of fire was a ladder card which was basically much worse and was 2 damage to all minions.
This card will probably a stample for mage unless board flooding deck stop being a thing i. Hearthstone

Just a comment, I wish to acknowledge that I was worried for the site after évident leaving.
Quite a long time as passed since and I have to recognize that the website continues to work well and provide quality content.
So thank you Stonekepp

that’s amazing idea, not as broken as others in wild but wildly original.
is it your own idea ?
Control Priest - Rise of Shadows - #45 Legend (Dono)
So the idea is “draw your deck until you can replace it by a big minion heavy midrange deck with Elysiana.
Might work a few times as long as your combo card are not at the bottom
Tempo Rogue - Rise of Shadows - #1 Legend (J_Alexander) - Updated
Yes, I actually love that card and I often included in agressive decks during spell heavy meta. I play less standard now and the card is a little weak in wild but I remember coing I turn 1, then have all my other threats being removed but the puny fairy was hitting face every turn before dying on a turn 6 blizzard. Or having a Druid hero power twice to remove it.
Really annoying
Control Priest - Rise of Shadows - #45 Legend (Dono)
What is the win condition of that deck ? Hoping not to queue warrior ?
Archivist Elysiana broke control matchups - but they can be repaired
After a friend lost against that card, I made the remark that control deck played the first Elise because it added ONE card into the deck and replaced some of you useless cards into random legendary would might be or might not be useful.
At that time Elise was almost mandatory for most control deck, Elysiana is way more powerful.

The deck itself plays a little like Malygos rogue, both deck create a situation where you feel that you are winning and then the rogue complete the quest and crush your face with 20+ damage in one turn.
The difference between the expectation :
“the game is the pocket, I have a good board, high life and the rogue is around 15hp with no board”
And next turn you are either dead or dying with an unrecoverable position
Both Malygos and quest are deck were the only way to win is to win from behind. Which makes people feel cheated of their win. Which create a lot salt threads on forums.
I had people add me to complain, and say I was playing cancer during the Midrange shaman meta where Malygos rogue win rate was around 46-47% winrate

Thank you for the edit. That’s why I like on hearthstonetopdecks.
An insight born of years of redacting work related documents:
Always assume that the introduction has 20% chance to be read, 20% chance to be glanced at and 60% to be ignored. If critical information is written here you take the risk of misunderstanding and spend a lots of time writing “read the introduction”.
Best if you can make each part able to stand on its own and understandable without external information.
Even better if that information can be both visual and circumvent cultural bias (ex: is the best score 1 or 5 ?)

Thanks for the clarifications. N’Zoth is a strong craft and a safe craft, especially that blizzard will most probably support the quest priest archetype next expansion. Same for jaraxus who is a one card win condition on some matchup.
I think I understand what made me single those cards out. Compared to patches, Aya, warrior quest and others, which support already strong decks those two card represents more a potential than a immediate value.
Maybe we could add a crafting priority from 1 to 5 which would clarify that while this legendary is a safe craft but may not be crafted first.

Not sure about N’zoth and jaraxus, did not saw them even once since the new standart. Rest is as usual, clear concise and up to date.
Great article
Kycoo's Crystal Core Quest Rogue - #2 Legend (April 2017, Season 37)
Not that sure, glacial shard and bilefin tidehunter are techs against aggro.
The first one is good delay tech against big minion and bilefin leaves a 5/5 taunt behind after the quest.
In the first turns it can be difficult to squeeze even the 2 mana éviscération in the turn because it will probably delay your quest turn by 1.
And most of the time you don’t even want to use a prep because it’s best use with the quest spell.
Quest Rogue Deck List Guide - Witchwood - May 2018
I find that i prefer the list with the elementals because I find it more consistent and solves the problem of running out of cards.
Every time you bounce a firefly you get a token.
And if you get no bounce you can still finish the quest with token
I think it comes as a protection against a protection again what happened with Hunter DK. The fact that due to community outcry they had to change how the card worked.
The fact that the hunter DK as to include an ever increasing pool of beast means that they need add lots line of code at each expansion just for that card. That hunter card lifetime cost probably went from a few thousand dollars to ten of thousand dollars
