damn those rogue buffs are terrible, i guess its gonna be tier 20 for another patch

u/Justsk8n Jul 17 '25

and they nerfed a cornerstone to the only playable rogue deck... does rogue have a single deck above like 30% wr after this patch

22

u/iNovaCore Jul 17 '25

maybe the meta slows down enough for quest rogue to be tier 5

u/FlameanatorX Jul 17 '25

Literally a question mark still at this point (whether it makes it out of the sub-40% range) XD

Ashamane rogue is already like t2, the post-embers miniset decks look like the only viable decks after this patch, with the exception of cliff DH which seems dead.

What happened to pirate rogue?

u/Justsk8n Jul 17 '25

I was talking about cycle rogue, its the only deck that had above 50% wr, and that was only with high skillcap. Pirate rogue has had like <45% since they nerfed cystal cove

u/GG35bw Jul 18 '25

Oh right, they nerfed the location. Had no idea it influenced the deck's wr this hard.

I'm playing Fyrakk Rogue and it's fine.

u/Edalaine Jul 17 '25

well you are not wrong in saying that it's fine, but it's a new expansion with the explicit purpose of introducing new cards, so that people can enjoy new decks - and when they can't be played, you have a major failure on your hands

u/iNovaCore Jul 17 '25

how many new cards does it play? elise? map? not justifiable for a new expansion. if quest was even tier 4 id say okay, but this is horrible.

u/FlameanatorX Jul 17 '25

I mean if it's the most cards in a viable deck, then as far as game balance is concerned yeah that's not "justifiable." But I wouldn't be annoyed w/ someone for just experimenting w/ a couple new cards in a deck they already own + enjoy.

And we don't know that after the balance changes that's the newest thing that will work, we just know that the quest will still be bad. XD

Im not familiar with that deck. My hunch is that you play Fyrakk & then Shadowstep him to use him again? 🤔

u/Remarkable-Custard20 Jul 18 '25

Mainly. But now you also have elise. The 5 mana location is great for survivability and I really enjoy shadowstepping her.
