We tried to make this archetype work in SO many expansions' dev process, but it was never quite right. So glad to finally have it see the light of day. https://t.co/aTbbnuQNQ3

      @Celestalon whats the design decision of putting this back in priest versus giving the same archtype to rogue as well? This is my fav archtype and I like it in priest never knew why rogue randomly got it for 2 years

        @Talift52 Priests play with cards that their opponent put in their deck. Rogues play with random cards from non-Rogue classes. Similar, but different!

      @Celestalon Maybe print at least one card for non-trash or non-boring archetypes?

        @sidant14 Oh shit, that's a great idea, we didn't think of that! Thanks, you've saved Hearthstone!

      @Celestalon Revisiting this thread - seeing as we only received one Burgle type card in this expansion, will we receive further support in the miniset? Just sad that this legendary was released with minimal tools to use alongside it.

            @Celestalon Unless I am blind (which is totally possible), Identity Theft is the only new Priest card that adds copies of opponents' cards to your hand. The only other card in the set that adds cards in the same manner is Murloc Holmes, but that's a Neutral Legendary. https://t.co/X5VuyIqDze

              @TonberryBleu Invitation Courier, Mysterious Visitor, Harvester of Envy, Identity Theft, Murloc Holmes, along with several existing cards that copy from the opponent.

                @TonberryBleu Copying cards from the opponent is already something that Priests routinely do, have several options for, will probably continue to get more for, and got a couple more of in this set.

                  @TonberryBleu The big key here was the synergies for those, making all of them better, and potentially worth running as a package.

                    @TonberryBleu And behind the scenes, the existence of this coming in Nathria played a part in choosing to have Drakonid and Psychic in Core for the year.
