No one is saying two drops aren't easily removed.

Could be really solid an an aggro/tempo rogue where unless your opponent has a spell or weapon you can likely keep it alive. And if your opponent spends their turn removing it and not developing the board themselves thats a win too.

Frostbolt, Fiery Win Axe, SW: P, Mana Wyrm/hero power, coin > implosion/truesilver/death's bite/consecrate. Its gonna die like a mofo.
So in other words we shouldn't bother playing anything on Turn 2 just because it's going to die anyway?

Yes it's going to die a lot. What 2 drop doesn't already die a lot (Haunted Creeper and Egg to answer my own question)? But you have to play it anyway for tempo purposes and to force your opponent to use that removal instead of playing their own two drop. And if it sticks, you've got a good edge over your opponent.

Yeah I know, I'm actually hoping it works out well and we see some new viable rogue decks.

The thing is, there's a good chance Burglar wouldn't see play even if he passed the vanilla test at 2/3 or 3/2. It's not THAT powerful of an ability. As a 2/2 he's probably worse than defias ringleader and nobody plays him either.

As for the ice lance card, here's something about him translated from polish.

They can't be stupid enough to print that card. It's a turn 3 OTK.

Turn 2, play Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Turn 3, coin, New card, ice lance in hand for free, infinite additional free ice lances.

You wouldn't get a lance if you coin to get the card out you jabroni. You'd need 1 more free spell for it to be a turn 3 otk.

The ice lance already in your hand would be free.

Coin + ice lance + new card + sorc apprentice in hand.

Feels good when running into mid-range pally after mid-range pally you tech in a whirlwind and then you play two hunters and the whirlwind basically won you both games.

neat card actually.. might be more useful than we think.

having minions on board is critical and this thing just wont go away unless it's hard cc'd. Using hard cc on this is a bonus for many control decks and a 1/1 is decent against aggro, except patron will hard counter this so bad lol..
