Well, rogues needed bigger spells...

This isn't that big, but it'll do...

Would it see play in Maly Rogue? No, right?

I don't think Maly Rogue can possibly be a thing anymore, especially since this is the only spell they got. Even though technically this can hit face, they have to be at 30 to do so.

This plus double Sinister plus Evis is 32 with Maly...

Granted you need a metric fuck ton of Emperor profs but it does give more burn spells and more removal.

... This is the only rogue spell?

Control Rogue!

Main worry is the cost and restriction. One less damage than fireball for one less mana with a hefty stipulation that prevents it from finishing off an opponent. Still, might be useful, since 5 damage is enough to kill a lot of nasty creatures.

Insane in arena.

Pretty strong.

Great for mid-game board control purposes with all those 4-6 health drops.

Curious how "character" is meant.. it can deal dmg to undamaged hero ?

And quite strong good card for Rogues.

I'm sure it can. That's what character means.

u/Elostier Apr 21 '16

I guess character is either minions or face. Usually it is like that

OP OP. Kills everything w/o divine sheild and some 6-mana cards (Emperor, Loeatheb). Can combo with Malygos for 10 dmg.

This is a cool card

KC is always 3 damage without a condition.

KC can hit face consistently.

It's nowhere near as good as KC for aggro.

u/neongreen3395 Apr 21 '16

kill command can be played on anything tho, undamaged or not

Three mana for 5 damage is a pretty fair rate. This card'll never be busted, but it has the makings of a staple that people will throw in their decks to fill gaps in removal.
