I have a hard time believing this card won't be played. It synergizes with almost every Rogue archetype and is incredibly cheap for what it's effect does. The ability to spend 3 mana to replay any minion you have on the board has massive potential, expect to see this card a lot for the next rotation cycle.

Given all the secret synergies that Hunter has this set, I think this will absolutely see play. You probably won't run this in the very aggressive decks, but mid-range and slower I think will always run this card.
Control decks rarely do anything significant on turn 6 if there is nothing to react to. Certainly whatever they do won't be high enough tempo that you cannot make up for it, especially since the 6 mana was invested in high tempo plays later.
The thing is Jaraxxus has been good in the past - not often, but it has happened - so there are definitely metas where you can cope fine with 15 hp. He was even decent during Classic, when warlock had practically no healing and there was no reliable way to make him cheaper than 9 mana. That isn't to say he definitely will be good, just that it is easy to mistake weaknesses during one meta as being important in another one, which isn't always true.
And classic was a overal way way lower power level. With way elss mana cheat and all and wya less crazy stuf
C'thun Rogue will have plenty of single target removal to combat decks like Paladin or big Warrior, which is nice and will hopefully bring it into decent viability. Unfortunately, aggressive decks like Soul DH and Hunter will still probably run it over :/
This supports the stupid shenanigans that I still play Hearthstone for, so I'm all about this card. A shame it doesn't work super well with my main archetype, Arch-Villain Rafaam and Supreme Archaeology, but there is plenty of fun to be hand and this will make a suitable replacement once they rotate next year.
I want to say that I'm a bit surprised we got a Weapon with Secret synergy when we still have Eaglehorn Bow in Classic. Imo this will see play still because it curves out really well if you have a coin. You just go turn 1 coin secret + turn 2 secret + turn 3 Petting Zoo to turn 4 [Hearthstone Card (Rinfing's Rifle) Not Found] + turn 5 Captain Greenskin. You should be able to run Captain Greenskin because it can also synergize well with Eaglehorn Bow.
A legendary spell AND a legendary weapon in this set? I'm like this a lot. This is the pellet gun you fire in the shooting range minigame, abut an old god-twisted version. Makes a lot of sense for the theme.
We are past the point where those elements are anything special we got also a legendary weapon in AoO and DoD as well as a spell in AoO, sure legendary minions are still more common , but we still are getting those kind of legendaries.
Very similar to [Hearthstone Card (Dark Pharoh Tekahn) Not Found], main differences being the ease of summoning Silver Hand recruits vs Lackeys and divine shield not being quite as impactful as 4/4. I think this will be too slow for what he provides, but any stat buff cards for Paladin become much better when there is a readily available divine shield target, s we'll see how things pan out in the end.
So it is odd... Also ok for menagerie I suppose... Oof
Managerie? you mean something along the lines of Justicar Trueheart? sure you are upgrading your hero power but the game has been power crept that much that it doesn't matter as much...
don't think you run this just for that purpose if you run this you go hard on SHR synergies.
No I mean you need 6th tribe for the N'zoth build... And this demon might be just good enough
I understood what you meant I am saying that 5 mana 5/5 is not spectacular you are not running this just to upgrade your hero power and get a ress target with N'zoth.
if you don't have at least the 2 standard cards that generate SHR you probably are not running this guy cause the effect is a slight upgrade to the hero power, which you don't want to use in most games as the game got a lot more tempo oriented.
We've only seen one other card that let you play a Secret for 0-mana in a turn, which was Ancient Mysteries. It's a great effect, because many Secret strategies rely on having one that turn while, you know, Secrets can be used up. I've no doubt this will be run in a top tier deck.

Ok there just asking us to make a wild pogo rouge deck aren't they
Tenwu of the Red Smoke
Solid card... Now just need to decide which battlecries are worth replaying this way...

I'm not sure this is Legendary worthy. (in today's climate). but i guess it could be?

A better Zola the Gorgon.
That's good.
Edit: Oops. It bounces the minion instead of adding a copy. Still good.
Both Rogue Legendaries support Pogo Hopper decks in wild. Nice.

New Hunter Weapon - Rinling's Rifle
This is really good, I think. It could make weapon buffs like Captain Greenskin worth running in Hunter (which I think has very rarely happened).
New Warlock Minion - Fire Breather
Demon control lock incoming
New Rogue Spell - Malevolent Strike
Can be played free with some Togwaggle's Scheme help
New Hunter Weapon - Rinling's Rifle

New Paladin Minion - Lothraxion the Redeemed
Huge odd paladin tool
And the combo is clear now
Turn 5: Lothraxion the Redeemed
Turn 6: Righteous Cause + Hero Power + Corrupted Day at the Faire
18/18 and 6 divine shields if Lothraxion survives the 5 turn

New Hunter Weapon - Rinling's Rifle
I think it's strong on some certain decks, it can improve aggro with more explosive tramps or can be used on defensive style with ice tramp.
But I think that one point of attack will make it very strong

Too weak, too slow imo.
New Paladin Minion - Lothraxion the Redeemed
Obligatory Blood Knight mention whenever a decent divine shield minion is announced.

Don't like it, if you draw it early in a deck build around it it's nuts, if you don't your decks doesn't work.
Not a fan of highroll cards (pt.2)
