Fuck you, Hadronox.

I know it's probably an unpopular opinion, but I really miss the old version of this card. I wish it existed at the same time as Kingsbane, at least for a while, even if it ended up needing to get nerfed.

In my mind, Oil Rogue is representative of the class' identity maybe even more than Miracle is.

ok

This card is still good with Kingsbane 

This card has bailed me out of many tempo losses.

Does not Lifesteal with a Lifesteal weapon, keep that in mind. 

Seeing Kingsbane now makes me shudder to think that this used to be a 2 mana that can hit face.

Blade Flurry: 3 mana, remove 1 durability from your weapon and deal it's damage to all enemy minions. I think that would be balanced and playable at the same time. Blizzard pls give us back Blade Flurry  :(

I hate how they nerfed unleash the hounds, and then buffed it again (and then nerfed, but you get the point). They realised they made the card unplayable so it was buffed again, but with blade flurry they made it garbage and didn't fix their mistake. blizz pls

I think they just need to lower the cost to 3 or 2 and remove the destroy weapon part. I mean the only viable way to use this now is to build a up a decent weapon, and you now have cards to extend your durability. It juts doesn't make sense to destroy your weapon, it not like you could oil it.

Looks like the second year since this nerf is ticking by without it being justified...

IF it works with the card just announced, Vampiric Poison... then I can see why. 

Vampiric Poison doesn't work with Blade Flurry

Imagine if it did! Rogues, with a negligible AoE AND healing at the affordable price of at least 8 mana as well as a weapon? preposterous!

Still hoping it works differently. 

Man, I hated this card and I hated Oil Rogue... but this is just so typical of Blizzard balancing to completely ruin the card. It needed one of the two nerfs it got, not both. Removing face damage was enough to prevent some of the wombo combos, plus the main enabler Oil, isn't even in standard anymore, so the board clear effect isn't even that amazing for 2 mana (plus another 1 and a card for deadly poison or something).

Remember this card before nerf? I remember. No aoe or heal for rogue. Lame.

 Guaranteed board clear if you make your weapon Poisonous. Goodbye, massive Jade Golem boards!

It was confirmed afterwards that the interaction doesn't work that way, because Rogue can't have a large board clear. My comment was shortly after Envenom Weapon was revealed.

 I think the closest they ever got to the right rogue theme was Oil Rogue. Rogues would use a combination of deadly poisons, suave weapons and finish off with a flurry of attacks and combos (Things like Eviscerate and Blade Flurry). It was never really that powerful, but playing it sure felt awesome!

But now, the only really played theme of rogue is burgle (which is a minor rogue theme at best) and the only played competitive rogue deck, being Miracle Rogue, feels like a mish-mash of obscure cards that don't really mean anything. I miss the old days, and I really want Blizzard to go back to that old theme of Oil Rogue.
