UltimaterializerX posted... He single handedly got rogue nerfed in wild
Eh, I wouldn't go that far.
Like...yeah, "Dane Rogue" was a deck for years, I built a version myself like...four years ago.
But several things happened that made it a serious meta deck.
- lots of deathrattle support. Sketchy Information tutoring a deathrattle that costs 4 or less and triggeringing it guaranteed tutoring for and triggering kobold illusionist. You can double that with snowfall graveyard too.
- Neptulon is literally the best thing to cheat out of all time. They were actually considering banning Neptulon in wild because it caused problems in THREE different classes (big shaman, where they nerfed lightning bloom, big rogue where they nerfed illusionist, and big priest, which is still obnoxious and at large, but not as consistent).
- An obscure Castle Nathria card, Masked Reveler, added a ton of consistency--it's another mana cheat deathrattle card that fits right in with the deathrattle synergy and mana cheat synergy.
- Serrated bone spike also gave the deck some over the top mana cheating highrolls.
In the week or two before they nerfed it, it was legit being played by a ton of people in high legend. Just a deck that can cheat out Neptulon on turn 1 and it's not even that much of a highroll to do so.
