    I feel like the tradeable isn't needed, this is just generally a good card (Rogue did not have a way to efficiently kill a turn one 1/3 thus far)

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Should be noted that, unlike Backstab, this can also be used on the enemy Hero at the start of a game if you have no better plays.

    A nice upgrade Backstab. I'm sure there will be awkward situations  where you have to end up hitting your own minion, but still, not a bad card.

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

    Tradeable backstab. Interesting and an SI:7 card.

    Its just a good card to be honest, tradeable or no. In fact there's no real reason for rogue to ever trade this out, its simply cheap efficient removal. Brain Freeze does better by being able to freeze but this card requires no combo conditions, which is partially why its only real home is an SI deck.

    The tradable is to make it a 5 star card instead of 4.

    Great card, even better because it's Tradeable.

    I've had enough times with Backstab in my hand without a target, that I'm liking the tradeable on this. Although this can go face, assuming you haven't already damaged it.

    It would be a debatable side/downgrade to Backstab, but the Tradable really helps when there aren't really good targets.

    Tradable damage on a cheap stick is just good to have.

    Decent tradeable SI7 card, should see a lot of play in a variety of decks, not just in quest Rogue

    OK. Quest plays. This is not a backstab upgrade or a sidegrade, it's a downgrade. Rogue uses the 0 mana kill a thing to activate a combo. 

    Chumbawumba is the worst band name.

    To note that trading this probably counts as an SI:7 card played, so trading it often will build up quite a momentum with the other SI:7 cards.

    I'll boop you

    Backstab that can kill a lot of minions, and against something like spell mage or when there are no minions on board you can tradeable it away and draw a better card. I love this card, its soo nice. 

    Actually not that i think about it, does trading away an SI:7 Extortion count as "play an SI:7 card"? If so than WOW this card just got a million times better. If not than sure it's still amazing. HOLD ON, it can target any CHARACTER so it can go FACE if the FACE has full health. so uh thats also good for enabling combos.

    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.

    Better than Backstab if you ask me. Will see plenty play across all formats.

    I think this one is the most useful of the SI:7 cards.

    I mean 1 more damage than backstab. 1 more mana than a 0 cost card is a lot tho.

    Very good for killing almost all 3 mana minions and less, I think the tradable is usable lately in game where everything is hurt and you need another card. It's a very good card

    It's tradeable, but still feels a bit too weak. Only see it being ran in order to add to the completion of the Rogue questline

    Good even without the Tradeable. Probably play this even in decks not tailored to SI:7 shenanigans. It's difficult for an opponent to play around, and cheap enough to weave into most turns.
