    Pretty damn good DR support although I really need to know what the actual Deathrattles are. Generally speaking this curves  perfectly into your 3-mana deathrattle of choice although you have to be careful against decks with non-targetting removal.

    Really hoping this turns into something interesting and not just something like DR Demon Hunter where you just play a bunch of boring vanilla minions that keep spawning each other.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Woah, at 2 mana this can pair with most other DR cards to get immediate value. Boar Rogue incoming?

    Pretty good card considering it has stealth so you're almost guaranteed to get the deathrattle effect. Right now there's no real insane deathrattle effects but I'm sure we'll get more revealed in this expansion. 

    Standard deathrattle cards right now: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/cards/?hsclass=12&hsclass=7&has_mechanics=5&collectible=yes&standard=yes 

    Keen to see the crazy combos the wild pros will do with this card

    An interesting way to trigger Deathrattles, which could make it worth it to run Snowfall Graveyard since there's less waiting for the Deathrattle to trigger. Counterfeit Blade and Sketchy Information...maybe there's a deck here. We just need to figure out what Deathrattles work best.

    There's a notable absence of good deathrattles to follow up with this card, but at the moment there's Infiltrator Lilian and maybe Loan Shark, the latter of which is likely the card people want to take advantage of. We've already seen previously the infamous shark rogue, and though garrote has been nerfed, if you can get the coins out consistently enough it might just get another chance.

    But there's no mistake - this is an excellent card.

    REALLY good deathrattle support. Maybe this can make the memey SCREAM rogue work thanks to Forsaken Lieutenant and Snowfall Graveyard. (Scream, because of Infiltrator Lilian lol) Either way i'm happy to see some deathrattle rogue support again, lets hope it works out this time. 

    OH in in wild i think some deathrattle rogue deck will slot this in.

    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.

    I don't believe in Deathrattle Rogue, it will never be better than the miracle styles. This feels a bit too clunky and only good in very specific scenarios.

    Even tough i like the idea behind a deathrattle rogue im not sure if this will be good ... depending on other deathrattle cards of course :)

    This could be pretty nutty - bonus deathrattle triggers for Nerubian Egg, Loan Shark, Infiltrator Lilian, or a host of other good targets could be very impactful. Toss in Snowfall Graveyard and this can easily get out of hand.

    Nice support for deathrattle Rogue. You shouldn't have much trouble killing this and triggering the deathrattle it copies. Of course, it won't see much play unless deathrattle Rogue sees play.

    "Is your Deathrattle minion ready to summon a giant threat and yet is being ignored? Are Rogues more interested in drawing through their deck with cheap battlecries and comboes? Do you want the value Rogue dream? There has got to be a better way! 

    Hi, Billy Mays here, ready to introduce you to Forsaken Lieutenant, the PREMIER blitzing fast Deathrattle activator for immediate action. Did your opponent play a 2 drop? Boom, now it was traded with and there's a giant Nerubian for him to deal with. You need a quick draw? Just play this card and you'll be immediately rolling need like a champ.

    But wait, there's more! Order Forsaken Lieutenant now for only 99,9 Gold and we'll include 2 (!) free damage from his attack! That's a lot of damage! And that's right, there will be no Intrepid Initiates around to ruin your Deathrattle needs by going face all the time.

    This offer will only be available in Alterac Valley so you better act fast because this is a limited time offer! And don't forget! No Deathrattle will ever be truly forsaken, unless by the Forsaken Lieutenant!"

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    Arena: Unless you're willing to wait for a while with attacking, which thanks to the stealth is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, this effect is probably going to whiff. So, unless you have some good deathrattles in your deck, this isn't very good.

    Constructed: Such a synergistic card! This has got to see play somewhere, whether that's in a tempo deck copying Sneaky Delinquent or in Big Rogue copying a Kobold Illusionist.

    Arena > Wild > Standard

    This, this seems fun.  I really hope they release good DR cards next rotation.  For now this is still fun/viable with cards like Ticket Master, Akama, Infiltrator Lilian, Al'ar...

    Ooh and maybe even Elwynn Boar!

    When first revealed, I wasn't sure if DR Rogue gets there when it's full of synergy cards and not that much to pay off.

    Then with Korrak the Bloodrager, getting a second Korrak on board sounds pretty dope.

    Very good combo if you manage to get a good deathrattle from Reconnaissance

    It hits right spot for rogue falvour and card flavour at once! Great job for the guy/gal who designed it.

    This feels like it might be a good card, but I'm too worn out from mass reviewing cards to look at all the deathrattles Rogue has access to right now. I know there are some wild shenanigans that can happen, I just can't think of what might be in standard.

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

    Really like them using Stealth as a way of protecting cool effects, instead of just to give a minion with some amount of Attack a chance of living to kill next turn.

    More support for Deathrattle Rogue, but I doubt it will ever reach a viable state. Rogue is much better in other areas than Deathrattle.

    Not sure if it'll be viable in a competitive setting, but it'll definitely see play in some sort of meme deck. I can imagine people pulling crazy combos with this.
