New Rogue Minion - Pharaoh Cat

That's like the 1/1 pirate. Will definitely see play. Maybe it is even a staple card for rogue. 

1 mana 1/2 that gives you resources? Should be really good even if the reborn cards wouldn't be the greatest.

I'm surprised that it's a 1/2 and not a 1/1. That's a big difference. Pretty strong card I think, depending of course on the final selection of Reborn minions available. The ones we've seen so far have been pretty decent, except for Generous Mummy. But then again, that card might actually work well enough in an aggressive tempo rogue.

I’d imagine it’s a 1/2 because of just how slow of a mechanic reborn is. Not many of them are actually that threatening the turn they’re played

It's still worse than town crier. I don't see why they'd have to justify the 1 extra health. It's a fine card and can enable burgle card by turn 1 (if unreliably) but it's by no means busted.

This is a really good card. 1 mana 1/2 that gives you a card is fantastic. Will have to see the pool of reborn minions to find out how valuable that card you get really is.

Decent stats, good effect, cheap for combo purposes, and THAT ART.

I love it already.

Can the random reborn minion be from another class?

Incredible card. The end. Will probably be played in almost every single rogue deck until it rotates.

It does make me hopeful we will see some more interesting synergies in Rogue though.

Best one drop released in quite a while.

Now Rogue can use Underbelly Fence more reliably.

You can already run Pilfer, which guarantees an activated Fence on 2, but with no minion.  This is less consistent, but has a 1/2 body.  

It's a balance I suppose, although maybe you'd run both.

I guess both is only ok with Thief decks. I don't think tempo variants will use both.

This card is gonna be busted beyond belief. Swashburglar and Fire Fly were both immediate staples in rogue for their tempo, combo enabling, and resource creation. Pharaoh Cat is better than either of those by a mile. Good God, I cannot wait to play this card. Also, I put my money on this being one of the best cards in the set.

Bold prediction: True to the "rouge" class, there will be a lot of misspellings of "pharoh"

Point well taken.

I am assuming you're 90% likely to get a non-Rogue reborn card. Not sure if that's right... just my impression thus far.

Itwould've been better to make this a hunter card. It’s a good substitute for dire mole.

Getting a neutral reborn card wouldn't activate Underbelly Fence and Vendetta though, it has to be a card from another class. We'll have to wait until all the SoU cards are revealed to calculate the exact odds but it's probably going to be closer to 50-50 whether you get an out-of-class reborn or a rogue/neutral one. (At the moment it's 7 neutral, 0 rogue, and 3 other-class reborns, so 7/10 of not activating burgle synergies).
