Field Contact is like a guaranteed nerf huh

Basically a 3 mana Auctioneer for Rogue

Wait this was talked about earlier but yeah, its pretty nuts and the watchposts seem pretty good too in Rogue

I don't know about Field Contact specifically, but Rogue in general seems really hard to beat right now. Like...I don't know how to respond to an efficient Octobot on turn 2. Kazakus seems nuts in Rogue, cause they'll usually have the board on turn 4 from doing rogue things, and they can pick up a golem that gives their minions +2/+2. Kinda reminds me of back when Rogue could run 7 mana Bonemare--Bonemare required that you control the board on turn 7 in a tempo deck, which made it not even good in most classes, but in Rogue it was really hard to beat.

Not sure what the right nerf target is, though. Field Contact looks really good, but when I got completely blown out by a Rogue, Field Contact wasn't even part of the blowout.

Stuff I've messed around with:

Libram Paladin, adding the obvious 1 drops, and Samuro to replace the 5 cards that are rotating from the deck: felt weak--stomped by rogue, stomped by Jaraxxus. Beat a watchtower priest I guess.

Doomhammer Shaman. It's fine. Probably the most competent-feeling list I've played.

Mill yourself Warlock: it seems like a meme. Pretty sure good control decks are just going to beat it consistently once they know what they're doing. They can stall for a long time with consecration style effects while fatigue is ticking, and often develop their own board as well, dealing additional damage to you while they lock down your board with 2 damage AoEs. Still funny, might be my "challenge a friend meme option."
