I guess that will take some time, at least a year. They still have a couple of spare portraits, and maybe they will first give the opportunity to buy portraits from the previous tavern pass separately before going through the whole lot again. It has to feel a little exclusive as well.

They added her to the in-game shop, but not for gold :/

Not for gold, what a pity! I have been spending all my gold on skins lately. Think I am skipping this one because of Silvanas. I really hope they have Deathwing soon again.

Interesting overview, thanks a lot !

Seems correct, yes

Note that you can use future Legacy (Basic/Classic) cards in Duels as well.

Problem is no card draw.

Rez priest is good as well, from what I’ve seen

Edit: apparently spellburst won’t trigger, no. It’s only after the spell.

I can already see rogue doing: keywarden > shadowstep > keywarden
Though probably it is better to shadowstep Jandice.
Which card would it replace in Whirlkick rogue though ?

I started playing this deck now, I think the main question is how to use your mercenary:
– ETC
– Armorsmith (as said, good vs aggro)
– Rattlegore (also good vs warrior)

The coin can be important for playing Rattlegore first in the mirror, but it can be stolen by silas ofc.

Also want to point out the many board clear options you have with Barov:
– Skipper + barov
– Barov + brawl
– Barov + flinger + spell + flinger (but then you lose your combo piece ofc)
– Barov (+ HP) + shield slam

Is there also a written guide for the combo variant?

I was trying it today, but not succeeding at all with it. I checked https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1373766-secretless-miracle-rogue-guide
but the written part is kinda short, and the yt video is more like a show-off instead of a guide.

There seem to be some missing cards in this paragraph:

“Two copies of already gives you a lot of leeway, which, when coupled with and , will drown most of your opponents in value. If you play with , you will also be able to potentially disrupt some of their key plays during the match.”

The only disadvantage of tour guide is that it is a 1-health minion. There are several hero powers that benefit from killing it (mage, warrior, demon hunter).

You are right, I think they should further nerf the combo. It would help to have the hero power “look at 3 cards” instead of 4, which increases the risk of discarding something usefull.

Though I would be very interested to look at win rate statistics per class + deck + HP + treasure. I hope hsreplay adds it soon, even only to know that warlock is as overpowered as it seems.

Or a good early-game, defensive taunt. Like Warlock’s Midway Maniac, or Tar Creeper,…

For me, the problematic card relating to armor is armorsmith. The combo with skipper and mercenary indeed generates tons of armor. It should rotate out soon, so I don’t see a problem for standard anymore then.

In a way armor is similar to weapons, though obviously weapons are more widespread. There is are several anti-weapon cards (though maybe not enough choices?).

Though I agree that warrior should not be the dominant control deck. Maybe it would be more healthy to give more classes access to armor (like paladin, shaman to a lesser degree). Or give priest/paladin access to some divine shield that soaks up a certain amount of damage. Of course, cards printed should preclude from stacking too much.

I have been tinkering with etc + enrage as well, but it is sometimes hard to get and keep all the combo pieces (without dying). Control warrior just looks better for it.

What I do like about the build is the animated broomstick, it is way easier now to activate lord barov.

If it had 10 packs, I would do it. A bit like the Horseman Uther bundle, https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/horseman-uther-bundle-25-packs-paladin-hero-skin-for-24-99-e24-99-september-29-october-13/

Though I am not that much into Hero portraits. Nevertheless, the Rogue lvl 50 portrait looked really good, saw it on Orange’s stream. I’m already lvl 37, so it’s kind of a waste to buy it now.
(and I am not convinced blizz would deserve the money either)

+1

I would say aggro tier 2, maybe higher. I don’t think the nerfs hit them that hard + it went very well against shaman, which is probably choice nb 1 when people have to switch decks.
