    This is a super strong card.  Typically rogues don't run a ton of secret synergy outside Shadowjeweler Hanar.  Will be interesting to see if this pushes rogue decks back towards secret synergy and away from Whirlkick.  It might considering Whirlkick is rotating in a few months, but Hanar isn't.

    Alright so this is a really powerfull effect, and it's great that it ISN'T a "free secret" because of Sparkjoy Cheat being 3 mana, while rogue secrets are 2 mana. So you could call Sparkjoy Cheat a 1 mana 3/3: "cast a secret from your hand and draw a card". Let's hope this makes Secret Rogue a fun (but slightly more balanced/fun) alternative to Whirlkick Master rogue, just so there is some more diversity in the type of rogues you can fase on ladder. Also thank Yogg that this isn't a mage card, or a Dual class Rogue/mage card.

    Standard: Secret rogue obviously, but it might also fit in some kind of C'Thun, the Shattered Galakrond rogue deck, because that deck already runs a secret package if i remember correctly.

    Wild: Not sure if it will see play. Maybe people will try out some kind of Wild Secret Rogue deck? However Secret mage still does the same job better. Also even though it's ODD Costed, ODD-rogue won't use it, because secrets cost 2 mana. :P

    Actually now that i read the text again, does it let you choose a secret, or does it cast a random one? Because that might matter a lot toward the cards viability. From what i can tell the effect is kinda like a Phase Stalker and probably will cast a random secret. (from your hand, and only once)

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Does this trigger the secret? I don't think so but the spelling is so weird that I don't undesrtand.

    No, “cast” means trigger a spell as if you played it. So this “just “ puts a secret into play. Still insanely busted card.

    It would have been a fine card even without the card draw

    Unless tempo secret rogue comes into play, this card will almost never see play. The problem here is that you're playing a good 3/3 for 1 mana on 3, which is good tempo, but because outside of Bamboozle, rogue secrets dont tend to protect their minions, its basically redundant to get this out along with a simple 3/3.

    But since bamboozle is already decent, there's just a small hope tempo rogue can get back in and this card along with cards like Shadow Clone, so this card can't be completely trash throughout this year.

    Damn, that's a highly effective (3) drop - I have no doubt in its potency

    Great card! 3 mana 3/3, plus a secret plus a draw. Only bad if you're not holding a secret. Of course, with a new secret (and a pretty good one), it's worth giving secret rogue another try.

    I wish that this would trigger Shadowjeweler Hanar.

    preeeety insane, it's basically a 1 mana 3/3 that draws a card. Must include in secret decks but has to be played once your Shadowjeweler Hanar is dead

    This probably doesn't trigger Hanar, so I'm not sure this becomes a thing. Secret Rogue almost always wants the value from Hanar because otherwise their secrets aren't as impactful. 

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
