Pally have some way to cheat that spell?

turn 3 Snowfall Graveyard, turn 4 Burning Blade Acolyte. Since the effect is persistent until a deathrattle is played, it'll immediately die and summon two 5/8 taunt for you

How do you get "double" 5/8?

graveyard on 3 and then the 1drop + burning blade acolyt

It says Costs 1 LESS, not cost 1 

Ok, Jackpot!'s card art is going to give me nightmares...

How do you get "double" 5/8?

Step 1: Play Jackpot!

Step 2: Summon five 1/1 Silver Hand Recruits

Step 3: Wait for opponent to concede. 

Shattershambler - oh yea, do you remember times when deathrattle rogue with Anubisath Warbringer was nuisance? Now you can play it on turn 2 (or 1 with coin). In standard you have Legionnaire, but rogue lacks good deathrattle cards for now. You could play it with Humongous Owl for easy face damage or with Korrak the Bloodrager, almost immortal card on turn 1 or 2. Or you can keep it to use it with Ozumat as 2 mana board clear (and board fill).

You coult try to highroll with Reconnaissance, maybe Tirion Fordring or Mi'da, Pure Light or Aegwynn, the Guardian? Unfortunately other classes also lacks good deathrattle cards.

This card will be with us for the next 2 years and I'm pretty sure at some point it will be part of some broken combo.

VERY good deathrattle synergy card. It's mana cheat and basically turns a deathrattle into a battlecry-ish effect. That being said, what are you supposed to do with it right now? The only synergy i see is with Ozumat for a board clear. Or as a support card in that mine rogue deck, that's it. There better be some ACTUAL deathrattle rogue stuff next expansion.

VERY strong aggro minion, and can be used defensively as well. This seems very strong, but also fair. It's strong on your turn, but very weak and easy to remove on your opponents turn after it loses stealth. After all on your opponents turn it's just a 1/2 minion. I like seeing strong but also fair and actually balanced cards like these. However considering it's a very fair and balanced card might be a bad thing, because that means it could be too fair. And if a card is too fair, then people will probably run something a lot stronger instead.

Still i think this will see play in some aggresive rogue decks for a bit.... Lets hope they don't Devolve burgle rogue into a tempo rogue that abuses gnolls again.... (I hated that deck so much as an actual burgle rogue player...)

What a normal HS player sees: "2 mana get expensive spells. Way too slow, free dust."

What a burgle rogue such as myself sees: "2 mana, add 2 copies of Rune of the Archmage to your hand."

Okay i have looked through all the 5+ cost spells, and i can say that out of the 45 spells (50-5 rogue spells) there are about 6 bad spells i.m.o. those being: Sigil of Reckoning, Deep Breath*, Power Word: Fortitude, Iceblood Tower and Shield Shatter. Most others can be usable in a bunch of situations. This means you have 2x a 1/9 chance of getting a bad card, and 2x a 8/9 chance for good cards. That tbh is not that bad of a chance i.m.o.

*debatable, depends on the amount of spells you run. And of course if any new 5+ cost cards get revealed this math will be a bit off.

This card remains pretty slow, and unreliable which is a good thing. But it certainly will get some good cards most of the time.. Either way i'm looking forward to playing this card, if only to hopefully highroll into Rune of the Archmage and repeat it with Contraband Stash and Tess Greymane. :)

Edit: i just remember that Swiftscale Trickster exists, so that is now also a good card to run in burgle rogue i guess lol.

Is this strong or weak, I can't tell.

Generally speaking a minion that's automatically immune and comes with an attackbuff should be crazy, especially when it also has stealth. But then, when it comes out of Stealth it's just a 1/2 and will immediately be dealt with.

It's absolutely broken in Arena for sure, but in Constructed I'm not so sure.

Glorious Stealth Rogue

And Windfury potential too!

Well....I guess this counts as a Big Spell?

At this point they're just mocking us right? Can we please just get some actual Rogue Deathrattles? Like...a real one? One that does something other than vomiting coins or blowing up at the opponent?

Best way to describe Jackpot!:

"What a normal HS player sees: 2 mana get garbage. Way too slow"

VS

"What a burgle rogue player such as myself sees: 2 mana add 2 random copies of Rune of the Archmage to your hand."

Love the card already!

Jackpot! - Fodder for Wildpaw Gnoll and nothing else, at the moment anyway. But I suspect it'll never see any play past meme decks regardless. Rogue simply does not have the sustain for long value games.

Inkveil Ambusher - There's certainly a place for it in the new weapon rogue. And it does more or less guarantee a value trade, before being value traded itself. More importantly you can just play it and pressure your opponent into playing inefficiently because of stealth

Shattershambler - Im not entirely certain where this card will lie. At its best, you can get double 5/8 taunt on 4 and at its very worst you play it turn 1 and then proceed to not draw the perfect deathrattle card. Not even sure if mine rogue needs this card. But certainly an interesting option

Edit: Made some wording changes for shattershambler

We can put Shattershambler in the already-overcrowded waiting room for actual deathrattle minions. It lets Ozumat be an immediate board clear... I guess. Not that rogue will want to be doing that.

Jackpot! is good for the thief rogue players who are there for the long games (so won't actually make it into refined versions of the deck).

Inkveil Ambusher reminds me of Gankster, but should be a decent bit better. I doubt it makes it into any meta decks though.

Shuttershambler – Ozumat enabler?

Rogue's first 1 mana 1/3... and far from rogue's first bit of deathrattle synergy while the class has no damn deathrattles to work with! What do they want us to do with all this stuff?
