I mean....it's good? A better Loot Hoarder, but what exactly do you do with it outside of that? Rogue doesn't really have that many pirate synergies that would reward one sticking for a turn (if only Shady Dealer was still around)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Maybe this helps make Cannon Barrage better?
1 Attack of this minion and a big health to prevent card drawing makes it feel bad, so what are the ways can we really do with it? I can only think in giving it a boost with attack buff or trading well in early game, and without getting silenced (which is rare).
It looks okay and playable in a good way.
An interesting card for sure.
ie fits both Tinker's Sharpsword Oil and Even Rogue.
Cannon Barrage too, but i doubt that card will ever get past the threshold of memes, especially after the murder of Preparation.
Weird card. Rogue traditionally doesn't really run 2 drops because of the hero power. This is a fine card but I don't really see it changing that dynamic. Maybe with enough support pirate rogue will be a thing again but I don't think this is the card that does it.
... Why not just run Loot Hoarder? I mean, yeah, it's easier to hit with Deathrattle-Activators... But I'm sure there's a better Target for those.

It's not a bad card, but it has such a weird statline for a Stealth minion.
Would make more sense if this was a 3/1 instead of a 1/3
Generalising a few comments above: it is good if you want a pirate to stick around (and if that is the aim a 1/3 can be better than a 3/1 even with stealth). That doesn't currently do too much in standard, but I have a long history with Shady Dealer so can see the potential in wild. It is also a nice reliable target for Shadow Sensei, Plague Scientist or Plaguebringer, Cold Blood or Crazed Chemist etc.
I doubt it is going to make it into competitive decks, but for anyone who wants to play around with the buff cards available to rogue it is a solid option, and its deathrattle means you won't be sad if it dies.
Better in (even) pirate rogue than in deathrattle rogue, but not very impactful.
A stealth, cheap pirate may enable some pirate synergies that weren't so easy to pull off before, who knows...

No thanks. I can't see this being worth running in any deck. Maybe if Rogue struggled with card draw ... so yeah, no thanks.
