Arena: Obviously great if you have already drafted some secrets.
Constructed: Already good without the honorable kill and amazing with it. But to be critical, the randomness of Spring the Trap is a small downside. Therefore, you might want to include secrets that are consistently good like Cat Trick instead of more conditionally good secrets like Pressure Plate.
Well this...is certainly something...what it is I'm not entirely sure. It is so hard to assess this since the mana combinations are massively varying both in number and in efficacy.
Great flavor, and Mage has enough cheap fire spells that this could actually be viable. In part, viability depends on how being unfrozen works - if Frozen Mammoth can be played on turn 4 then attack on turn 5 when you play a fire spell, then I think it could very easily see play. If it's still treated as having summoning sickness until it's been unfrozen for a turn, then it's junk.
Yup. I'd draft this. Optimally a 2 mana draw two with upside. It shouldn't take long to find a turn to hit something for two. I'll trust my opponent has good cards.
Arena: Livewire Lance is crazy good in Arena partly because lackeys are broken, but also because it represents both value and tempo in one card. With The Lobotomizer you're not guaranteed the value but is one mana cheaper than its comparison. However, it's in rogue which means we have to factor in that we decrease the value of our hero power by drafting weapons. My bet is that it's ever so slightly weaker than Livewire Lance, but still one of the best cards you can draft in rogue.
Constructed: Unless you're playing Burgle Rogue you don't care about cards in your opponents deck.
I think this is a must-pick in Arena every time. Because it's fun af. Is it good? Hell naw, your 6 mana Claw Machine is probably equally as good as whatever 4 mana 6 drop from a random class so eliminating the need to play a 5/5 do nothing 5 drop. Not to mention weird cards you might get stuck in hand. Awesome meme power love it
Constructed: Is it fair to compare this to Skull of the Man'ari? Skull looks much better of course, but is in Warlock and the most aggressive minion it can pull is Doomguard. Instead, Sigil of Reckoning can pull an Illidari Inquisitor. It all depends on if the critical mass for Big Demon Hunter is there to be viable. If so, this card is in there, but it won't make the deck viable on its own.

I don't think you need loads and loads of deathrattles for this to be worth it. As soon as you got decent value of the battlecry you should just play Xyrella, the Devout. Yes, repeating all those deathrattles is great and of course the more the better, but that new hero power is even better. You want to spam that Void Spike as soon as possible.

I'm curious to see what the go-to Wild version of Secret Hunter is going to look like. Subject 9, Phase Stalker, Mad Scientist, Spring the Trap, and Dun Baldar Bunker can't all be in the same deck. Inconspicuous Rider and Masked Contender are already on the sidelines, so what cards are joining them? Probably Subject 9 and Mad Scientist.

In Wild Reno decks specifically, I wonder if she's strong enough to push out the Shadowreaper Anduin & Spawn of Shadows combo as a finisher for a Xyrella, the Devout & Auctionmaster Beardo combo.
