The thing I've been most surprised by so far is the lack of impact the 3/4 sisters make.

Tried in priest, meh. Tried in eboladin, meh. Tried in mech mage, meh. Makes me FEEL BAD for crafting them instantly.

I cut them for dark cultist in my Dragon Priest list. I'm also massively underwhelmed by them as well.

One card that I've been happy to include in some lists is Saraad.... That card has gotten me out of some tough spots. That 7 drop Priest legendary is also a lot of fun to play, Confessor Priestest or something like that?

why make new decks when you can just play mech mage

Saraad has been fun for me too, but I don't think it's that good. Was running dragon priest with it initially and it just was never something I was thrilled to drop/activate.

As more and more cards are released to the pool, tho, the chance of them becoming powerhouse cards will only increase. Some day a few years from now they will be staple cards in a powerful deck.

Do you think there will be some cards that are untargetable by opponent spell, but targetable by your own? I'd be more comfortable playing the sisters if they couldn't hex or pain or death or whatever them, even if they could use owl/spellbreaker to silence them.

Give me some of that Fel Rever mech mage love... I've got an equality + a few more cards waiting for you. ;-)

Yea. Just copied it from the tempo storm meta snapshot. It's always fun to drop a fel revaer and watch you opponent spew cards out that aren't very good at the moment just to get 3 cards milled.

My opponent got one from an effigy yesterday and it didn't end well for him. 4 secrets and a divine favor for 5 later he snap scooped.

That's a pretty rare occurrence for the mech mage though seeing as you and bobbo are the only people in hearthstone playing rogue right now

I've been trying to make oil work with Eydis and 2x Cold Blood, but it's been inconsistent. I keep getting into spots where I have plenty of spells but no minions to play.

I get excited when I get to play minibot and aldor against it, and then play 4 more cards and then equality consecrate and then he watches archmage and boom and fireballs get discarded and then he concedes

There def is not enough self-target buffs for Eydis to work in rogue.

My estimation is that you need at least 5 quality buff cards in your deck for the sisters to be great. And of course those 5 cards need to be good in your deck to begin with.

It's just not there yet.

Inner Fire Priest is the only deck that can be happy to run them, and that deck is just very average.

I guess other than Mech Mage there aren't too many spare parts decks but I think they could work in a spare parts deck.

Yep, but mech decks don't have buff spells to go along with it and you only get a useful spare part like 3/4s of the time. So if you run 4 spare part cards that's effectively 3 conditional buff cards. Still 2 more to reach 5.

And the effects are best on turns 3/4/5 when you don't reliably have the spare parts from Yeti or Toshly. Deal 3 damage is amazing on turn 3, but not that useful on turn 8.

I never got on board the idea that they would slide into any mech deck.
