Poor cards

I think its secret strength is being a taunt. Even lategame a taunt can help you race and it costs no mana so you can do a lot of other things the same turn, like deal a bunch of damage. So a bit more useful than wisp late game to say the least.
Also in a rogue deck like you mentioned, but it does bring other things to the table that wisp doesn't.
But I lean towards your opinion of it simply not being enough value to justify since getting that extra synergy is pretty situational and without it, it probably sucks. I could see experimenting wiith it though. There are times where I could really get high value out of the new 4 mana combo spells on turns 4-5 that are immensely difficult to combo with that much mana.
I think mogor is more of a defensive card. You play your turn out and attack with everything, then play mogor and your opponent is going to have a difficult time removing your board with minion attacks unless he can deal with mogor first.
Nessingwary is definitely a meta specific card. When druids and hunters are running out of control with beast decks, I could see him being used. DOTC and druid of the fang are both beasts after they transform.
If you're thinking about dusting them, I'd personally keep them. I would dust some midtier classic legendary cards before dusting any of the new ones.
I have one but couldn't really justify a 2nd because I haven't needed it it for pretty much every other matchup. I was even considering cutting the one I have.
It's actually been a dead card in my hand more often than it's helped.

I'm keeping track of my average gold from wins so I know when it's more cost effective to just buy packs instead. It helps me get through the times I get back to back bad runs.
I think Mogor is like Lotheb for minions, he can change the game if played at the right time. I lost a game to him last night. I had fatal on the board and he gets dropped and instead of my guys going for face for the win they just crash themselves into Mogor, he stays alive and kills me next turn.

I still need a name for this deck. Something ninja cause of iron senseis being so cool in this deck.
I also will try replacing sylvanas with gallwix once I get around to crafting him or getting him from a pack.

I love Dr. Boom though. He's just fun to play.

I just wonder whether or not annoy-o-tron is worth running if you don't get iron sensei to go along with him.
He is a taunt though and could help me survive a round to then heal up and stablize... so maybe worth running 1 of.
Blingtron might be good in my deck since I have so many ways to buff weapons and then I just buff blingtron with iron sensei to make him good too.
Something to note on these cards that give both players benefits, is that you can set it up to give you the most benefit. You swing first with your weapon, remove their weapon (maybe via sabotage - the DREAM value), or buff your weapon. I can't imagine the salt blingtron will provide when a rogue gets a doomhammer then buffs it with sharpsword oil, giving him a 5 attack windfury weapon and the blingtron becomes a 6/6 due to the sword oil combo bonus.

Yeah, been up since last night.
I've been diconnected twice today. SUUUUUUCKS because I was in Arena both times.
Thanks. It was still down when I went to bed. Can't wait to go on my nonstop arena runs for the next few weeks.

I've had that happen a lot before (usually right before I had fatal) but no disconnects today luckily.

Worth it.
From what I've seen of people using it, it's mostly dust but don't dust it immediately.
Oh sweet, id heard a few pros really bad mouth hit but tbh given how new the set is its hard to know whats good and not, I heard loads of talk about bomb lobber being bad when it was announced but its my favourite card in Arena, so rediculous.
Grats on the dust.

Oh man...last game against a rogue. Her piloted shredders spawned a lightwell, which sucked for me, and then her next shredder spawned a auchnei soulpriest.
"I am sorry"
Haha, that's awesome. What are the odds?

I got on three times, opened 20 packs (Ogre legendary and a bunch of epics, meh), then got booted again looking through my collection. Fuck that noise, I'll check back tomorrow.

It's dead, Jim.
Not going to try again until tomorrow. I'm getting some Blizzard Bucks so hopefully it works by then.
That's better than... you know, no legendaries :/
Had a guy drop him and I had no answer at that point. Next turn he faceless'd it. gg
I wonder what happens if you try to play Jarraxus when you have Mal on board. Hero immune and he just becomes a minion?
Sacrificial Pact might start seeing play.
Yes, certainly. I actually got no legendaries from my 20 gold packs + free 3 packs, and then I caved in and bought 60 packs. In the first three packs I got those two legendaries and then I got kicked out. It felt rigged.
Jarraxus at 17 HP and immune? I'm def gonna play them both.

I can't go online now. ;/

Malganis doesn't buff jaraxxus when he is the hero since jaraxxus no longer counts as a minion. That has been confirmed as well.
edit:
That topdeck for guaranteed lethal
Bah, but he's still a demon, hence he's killable with Sacrificial Pact. I feel some inconsistencies have arise as part of this expansion.
Today has seen 4 true silvers in the first 15 and 3 flame strikes in the first 15
Sometimes you cant win
Those you can at least beat with a good curve, it's the ones that Fireball any 4-drop, Poly anything better and Flamestrike two minions because they know they have four more copies left while playing Water Eles in between that aren't even worth playing against. 7+ is Mage City and I feel like they've gotten even stronger with GvG. Pick every mech you can get your hands on to break the curve with Mechwarper, securing the board early and then just play solitaire with your basic/common op removal cards. Don't even get me started on Blastmage.
This shit will never change until Blizzard adjusts the rarities of the core Mage arena cards.
