But you're forgetting the fact that
Mugged! is a bad card. Also you can't really use those cute combos with
Vozitian Orders and Road Less Traveled to argue that
Sword Thief is good; rogues need a decent stand-alone ally, not an ally who is good when used in conjunction with 1-2 other cards.
@ Pandevmonium: I disagree with the FTA comment. You're right in that a buff to
Sword Thief would obviously make Rogues stronger going first, but more importantly it would also make them
a lot stronger going second. At the moment, Rogues have a very hard time taking board control going second (especially against heroes with access to direct damage).
Sword Thief to 2/4 would give a Rogue a chance to start taking out his opponent's weenies before he takes too much damage. As it stands,
Sword Thief is incapable of this and is barely viable as a T3 drop; he's much better late game.
I agree with the people saying that we're still in the beta, and we have nothing to lose by changing him. If Rogues suddenly dominate everything, we can change him back.
