![]() But because of the existens of Preperation and because I think changing your hand in random cards is overal bad (including making them cost 1 less), these upsides are almost non-existant.Įspionage on the other hand has the huge upside of you being able to draw a 1 mana high tempo card. Renounce has the upside that it’s cheaper and it can get rid of useless cards in your hand. (ofcourse this had a lot to do with the Barnes-Y’Shaarj combo). Now Renounce was played in a meme deck, however could still win you a lot of games if you’re lucky. – Renounce reduces card cost in your hand I compare this to Renounce Darkness from warlock, their effect is pretty similar. I feel like it might get nerfed in a way Yogg-Saron, Hope's End was – even if it wasn’t completely broken on the ladder, it just ruined the competitive play.Ĭard rating: 8/10 Academic Espionage Full Card Art I honestly think that this card is broken, and not necessarily in terms of power (because yeah, it still does nothing immediately) – but I still think it’s pretty damn strong. And after you overcome the initial tempo loss of this card, it will just start getting value. Or even dropping an Elven Minstrel and hoping to draw some good 1 mana minion (doesn’t have to be great, some random 4/4 is still great tempo-wise). Like, playing this during Gadgetzan Auctioneer turn. But even without Myra, remember that Rogues have some nice way to cycle or draw cards. I could see Miracle Rogue with the Legendary Spell running a single copy of this card just to make that combo work. Not only you can get a full hand, but if you play this afterwards, you still end up with a bunch of cards in your deck. But a 1 mana 5/5 is suddenly pretty damn good.Īnother cool synergy is the one with Myra's Unstable Element. Like, normally you wouldn’t be happy with getting something like Cruel Dinomancer. But the pool of bad cards is considerably smaller when everything costs 1 anyway. And of course, you can still end up getting a bunch of bad cards that cost 0-2 mana anyway and the discount will be wasted. That said, with 10 cards shuffled, you should be able to “take” that mana back quite quickly, often after the first card you draw. Will it be good enough to put the deck into the meta? Hard to say, but it might be.īasically, the only downside of this card is spending 4 mana for no immediate effect (well, you can always Preparation it, but that’s still 2 cards for no immediate effect). It will make it much easier to keep the weapon ( Spectral Cutlass) alive, and Tess is going to be huge once you drop her. This card will obviously be an auto-include in Burgle/ Pick Pocket/ Tess Greymane Rogue, since it specifically synergizes with cards from other classes. While I know that it’s somewhat of the best case scenario, imagine losing a game as a Druid to a Rogue drawing a 1 mana Ultimate Infestation from this, into a bunch of other 1 mana stuff from your class? It would feel horrible. Such RNG cards are fun if they’re bad, but this one might not be. On the other, from the competitive side, I absolutely dislike this card, because there is A LOT of RNG involved. On the one hand, I already want to play around with it. ![]() ![]() So, on average, a huge discount will be applied. On the other hand, those cards now cost 1 mana each. On the one hand, shuffling a bunch of random cards into your deck was never a good thing. ![]()
