Looks like Rogue is going to be OP this season
There will be some seriously broken combos with Myra's Unstable Element and this, I'm quite sure.
Pogo-Hopper meta incoming? The Rogue always seems so easy to break.
Wow this one will be fun to abuse, i would imagine.
Will definitely have some fun with this one.. I'm liking these upgradeable cards so far
They will be pretty strong.
Someone said Coldlight Oracle?
Wow. There is much room for shenanigans with this card. Pogo hopper anyone? How about just throwing gnomes back in for card draw?
As it upgrades, I assume it will add more copies of the chosen minion?
Yup.
This card will definetly be OP. people are already talking about Myra's Unstable Element and chef nomi but pirates might also make a comeback with this card!
Can't wait to see the Rogue Legendary.
@Rookhurst That is correct! I am not sure what it will cap at though. I would hope only max deck size.
These (Upgrades each turn) cards are value after a certain amount of time while in your hand. The real question is, how many turns does this need to be in your hand to get value? I have heard that the Hagatha's Scheme card (deal 1 damage to all minions and upgrades each turn) is good when the damage becomes 3 to all minions meaning that it needs to be in your hand for a minimum of 2 turns. This is comparable to the card Excavated Evil dealing 3 damage to all minions which also costs 5 mana, so when the Hagatha's Scheme card becomes 4+ damage to all minions it becomes of great value.
The maximum cap for this card is about 45 minions, assuming you have the card in your opening hand. Of course, it then wouldn't matter anymore, since the game would auto-end after that point due to the turn limit.
Still, given that it becomes a better Gang Up at just 3 minions, I think this is pretty neat. Wild Mill decks may run both, or test which is better - this card does have to worry about Skulking Geist, so it isn't obvious that replacing Gang Up with this is better for every deck.
