Why you need to be using Burgle: A Swindler's Guide

Hi! Did you expect to click on this thread to see a detailed, professional explanation of why you should be using Burgle? Well too bad. Burgle is the most hilarious card in the game and if you aren't using it, you just hate having fun.

Well here you go.

With Burgle you transcend into a different class entirely and prove to everyone that RNGesus is on your side. You draw cards that are nothing but a distant dream for the other class and revel in their tears. Just look at that poor helpless Shaman, there's no possible way he could get ou-

Well, it's important to note that not only are you making the game 1,000 times more fun for yourself by playing Burgle, but helping other people have fun too!
