Look broken until you realise that 90% of the time this is just a 5 mana to remove one minion, which makes it actually worse than Assassinate
So, this card gives you the option to steal a minion off your opponent. Apart from the fact that priest can already steal opponent's cards, there's very few targets of which this card is a definitely advantage in including into your deck. So sometimes you steal a prime target like Deepminer Brann and then most of the other times this is just a brick in hand.
I can definitely see this in priest as a discover option but outside of that this card just doesnt do enough for me to impress.
Looks pretty strong! I'm a bit confused by the wording, as you're not actually "returning" a minion to your hand unless it was previously stolen from you. Still, great removal and counter.

Hmm interesting card.
Rogue: Probably won't see play. Rogue has better hard removal, and i don't think they want to pay 5 mana in order to steal a minion. (And then have to pay the minions cost in order to play it.) Like i'm a burgle rogue enjoyer, but even then there is just better stuff.
Priest: I can see Reno Priest run this, just so they can joink their opponents Titan. But that's probably just it.
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.
