    Solid single hand cost reducer, a lesser-emperor. 

    At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit. 

    Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.

    Can’t see a world where an opponent can reliably kill this in one shot if you drop it on turn 2. Even if they do, you’re making them waste a good spell/minion on a 2-mana 1/4 so that’s usually a net positive.

    Mana reduction for rogue... that's OP. This means potentially free poisons, and if Nitroboost Poison gets nerfed (Please nerf it blizz.) you can "unnerf" it, and obviously 0 cost cards are amazing combo starters..... This seems really good.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    It is very hard to deal 4 or more damage from a single source on turn 2. This cost reduction feels a bit unnecessary given how many cards a rogue is able to play in one turn already, also it feels a bit weird to see a common card straight up reduce the cost of everything in your hand.

    You know, I am actually a little frustrated at the amount of cycling and card slinging rogues get.

    Activate Frenzy (somehow), bounce to your hand, play again, activate again etc. This could lead into some great plays.

    It's also a Mech, interesting. We have some Mechs in Core set.

    Just a random mech to come out of nowhere for rogue. And a good one too. At 4 health, its nearly impossible to deny value without wasting something from hand, and even if not, you can do it yourself with backstab.

    1 mana decrease is a big deal for a class like rogue.

    This is a really good card. Play it on turn 2 and you'll almost always trigger the Frenzy.

    Despite this, it may end up not seeing play because Foxy Fraud exist.

    I like this as some sort of fake Thaurissan to reduce the Cost of combo pieces with Backstab or something. I don't think it makes it into Tempo types of Rogue decks.

    The effect is very powerful for rogues. Luckily it's not easy for them to trigger the Frenzy the same turn it's been played, but maybe this is good enough on turn 2 in a tempo deck.

    Looks good on paper, but with Rogue’s lack of activators (outside of Broom or Backstab), I don’t think this will be that good unless a slower Rogue archetype is printed which can benefit off of this

    Rogue is already a tempo heavy class with the ability to generate a lot of resources very fast. The way this card works can really amp up that gameplay to another level. Not only that, it allows Rogues to increase the amount of burst from spells they can use in just one turn. 

    Let's not forget Preparation technically does nothing by itself. Efficient Octo-bot is like a mini Preparation that's not limited to spells but the opponent can interact with it. Expect al least heavy experimentation with this card.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    Do we really want to reduce the cost of already cheap cards in rogue? I don't think so but if its the case, with that 4 health it is most likely to activate the frenzy effect so it will do the job its done for.

    The high health for a 2-drop and the cost reduction in a class that loves combos makes me think this is at least decent.

    The cost-reduction effect alone makes this playable in pretty much any Rogue archetype. Unless your opponent wastes a non-damage removal on this the effect is almost certain to go off as well. Pretty nifty card imo.

    Started playing HS in May, 2015. The bad news: I missed the excitement of 'Naxx out?' and GvG. The good news: I never met an Undertaker.

    With 4 health is highly probable that it will survive early on. Anyway the effect is insane...

    This can cheat a lot of mana.

    Potentially dangerous and a soft taunt but I currently fail to see the use case in Rogue

    English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes

    Since it has high health, it should be easy to trigger its Frenzy effect. That should make it quite good

    This should be good for increasing the chains from Field Contact. Especially if you can discount cards to 0.

    I'm expecting Rogue to be pretty good  this expansion. They are getting lots of ways to be efficient with their mana and still have effective removal tools.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    This, combined with Rogue's draw, makes me VERY scared of this card.

    Incredible card, Rogue could use a few more of those because it just keeps getting nerfed to the ground ;P

    Seems gross. I think rogue will be able to really abuse this one. Frenzy, thankfully, so it can only proc once.

    Now that's what I call value!  It's an early drop, with decent survivability, and most of the time it should act as a one time Emperor Thaurissan effect.  I hope I'm not being overly optimistic, but I rather like this card.

    Amazing card if played on curve.  Gets less value later in the game.  Think it sees lots of play, and in my mind, it will feel like opponents always have this by turn 2.

    This is the second hand-cost reduction effect this expac I think. Good thing we're getting less generation...

    I like how it gives a big cost reduction, but still makes it hard to combo. If you want to wait for all the combo pieces to get into your hand, this card will get much easier to insta-kill, at which point you'll need to use Backstab or smth.

    This doesn't feel Rogue-ish but maybe I'm wrong.

    Very good all round. There's real potential for a new Miracle Rogue with this and Field Contact.

    What an odd card. If played on Turn 2 then you'll likely get the effect off, as 4 Health is hard to drop in one go that early. On the other hand, dropping it early means you can't really combo it reliably, so you're just using it to potentially accelerate out a card a turn early sometimes. Seems... okay?

    Aggressive Rogues already have enough mana cheat that they often don't have a hand size to warrant activating this for discounts. The only way I see Efficient Octo-bot being played is in an OTK Rogue where this acts like a cheap Emperor Thaurissan, which I don't see happening this expansion, but maybe in the future.

    For glory, honor, and gold!
