While It's still way weaker than 4-mana Kobold Illusionist, it's still the same amounts of fun. Can be drawn with Sketchy Information and adds a 2-mana Masked Reveler. Heck, it can even add a 1-mana Kobold Illusionist.
T3 : Sketchy Information => Draw and trigger Scourge Illusionist => Copy a 10-mana deathrattle, it now cost 4(!) (*)
T4 : Enjoy playing a 10-mana deathrattle "on curve".
What if your opponent silence/transform it ? Well, it was just a copy. Just actually play Scourge illusionist to tutor another big deathrattle copy.
(*) Or if you get "unlucky" and pull your second copy of scourge illusionist, play it that turn, as it's now a 0-mana card. Chances are that you will get to trigger its deathrattle before T4's end.
EDIT : If you find that T3 too slow, or want to tutor a non-deathrattle minion, you may consider putting Masked Reveler. You'll get to play it the same turn, it has rush to trade against aggro, and it will synergize nicely with itself, scourge illusionist, or any minion with a powerful non-battlecry effect you may want to cheat out early.

The typo on "minions" bothers me too much 😅 You need a very high attack undead, the best being Underking or Bonelord Frostwhisper but getting 6 attack on each of your minions is basically game winning so this legendary would be very good in token/swarm decks.
Unfortunately there's not enough good outcast cards in Standard atm but I'm sure some more will get reveal this expansion. Bare in mind though, this won't be as easy to discount as lets say Umbral Owl but afaik, you don't necessarily need to activate the outcast condition per card for this minion to get the mana discount.
Its a different direction to take rouge, that's for sure. While I remain optimistic, I have a feeling this is just gonna be a grindy achievement legendary and nothing more.
I dno... there's something about this card that wants me to give it 4 stars...
The mana discount is nothing to laugh about which is even more mana discount on top of Rotten Rodent. I really enjoyed deathrattle rouge back in the LOE days with Unearthed Raptor, so I'm keen to try this archetype again, even if its bad.
Res priest lives again...in aggro form! This might be good in Shadow priest to res Voidtouched Attendant? Or maybe some sort of deathrattle priest can use this for value. I'm sure someone will find a nice combo.

I think the main problem is that it doesn't cheese out neptulon, which is why the comparison is a little suspect.

I predicted Teacher's Pet and got downvoted then as well.
People cry just for the sake of it.
New Neutral Minion - Translocation Instructor

New Rogue Minion - Scourge Illusionist
The most obvious synergy is Sketchy Information + 2 Rotten rodent.
T1 : Rotten rodent (assuming coin)
T2 : Rotten rodent
T3 : Sketchy Information => Draw and trigger Scourge Illusionist => Copy a 10-mana deathrattle, it now cost 4(!) (*)
T4 : Enjoy playing a 10-mana deathrattle "on curve".

Ghostly Strike is the most rogue card that they can print, love all the things about this card

Doesn't do anything if you die on turn one.

Whoo! Go Regis! He had an amazing winrate in total, after going 8-0 on Day 2 :D Better than he was expecting, that's for sure haha
New Mage Spell - Vast Wisdom
This has to be one of the worst cards I've seen.
If I had a 0-star rating, I'd give it to this one. Why would anyone include this in their decks?

New Rogue Minion - Scourge Illusionist
If the minion you get cost originally 4 mana it is a free 4/4 copy. Sounds great.

What a stingy event.
New Warlock Minion - Devourer of Souls
Ummm, guess a funny Envoy Rustwix combo? For standard though there's Amorphous Slime and Lady Darkvein so there's definitely some interesting deathrattles to gain.
Doubt it'll be good though, shame for a warlock legendary.

Side note: imagine a deathrattle rogue with Bonelord Frostwhisper

Res priest lives again...in aggro form! This might be good in Shadow priest to res Voidtouched Attendant? Or maybe some sort of deathrattle priest can use this for value. I'm sure someone will find a nice combo.
In wild there's Sethekk Veilweaver and Nazmani Bloodweaver for miracle priest.
