    Strong card, especially as the payoff isn't tied to "this turn". If the legendary makes a splash, it will be thanks to enablers like this card.

    Very strong opener. Thank Yogg it messes up the ressurection pool so Seedlock won't use it. In Standard this will definitely see play though.

    I'm a bit worried here because this looks like one of those cards that are either complete trash or super annoying. For the moment I'd expect it to see some experimentation but not too much success, especially considering Hero Reno completely annihilates it.

    The go-to activator for Sacrificial Imp. Very solid card, Warlock usually has no trouble at all to generate tokens and the very worst, you can kill something that would be removed by your opponent anyway. I like it.

    Not a big fan of this yet... maybe there's a fun deck in Wild that could use it. I've had quite some fun with this deck of Swizard for a while... that looks like a decent place to try this card.

    This card is in a weird place imo. At 3 Mana, it's too expensive for what it does. At 2 Mana it would powercreep the shit out of Drain Soul. Maybe that indicates it's better than it looks at first glance?

    Eh. Most people will insta dust this. I don't like it when they waste Epic slots with that kind of card... I could have pulled something usefull from a pack instead!

    2/4/1 is an interesting statline for sure unless you face Mage. If Standard Pirate Rogue comes together after all, this will definitely find a home in it.

    Just like the other legendary, this comes down too late. Just like the other legendary, it has amazing signature art. It also takes pretty much two dead turns to make use of it. I'm sorry, I don't like it from a power-level point of view. I do hope people will have a lot of fun with it though.

    This is way too expensive to work out. Other than that it has nice flavor and a very fitting signature art. I really don't get why they didn't make this 4 Mana or something.

    Thief Rogues will love this, but as soon as you're playing something halfway competitive, it's probably too high costed. Might be a nice spell to get from the Azerite Scorpion though.

    Very strong card because of the synergy with Quick Pick alone. Spectral Cutlass would also like the attack buff if you manage to play this guy soon after equipping the weapon. If all else fails it's not too shabby if you use it with your hero power. I like it!

    Yeah, I agree. Probably not making the cut unless Thief Rogue becomes mega good. You might want to put it into a Wishing Well deck but honestly Sonya just does a way better job.

    4 Durability is nothing to scoff at. At 3 Mana it's probably too expensive to make it into Wild miracle lists, but there's a lot of potential for Standard here.

    Yay, Wishing Well support! I love that deck and it's getting more and more support. Sonya 2.0 already was a very cool addition, now we get even more coin generators :-))

    I'm not that much of an expert for the class but Mana cheat in Rogue is always dangerous in my books. I say this is a strong card until proven otherwise.

    I'm afraid this will turn out way better than it looks. The card is dangerous enough to hold on to your copies instead of dusting them imo. Rogue can do a lot of silly stuff with this.

    It's cheap, but that's about all that can be said in favor of this card. I prefer discover options like Stick Up but that's just me. Surely the chaos connaisseurs out there will love this.

    Favorite card of the set so far. I will definitely try to make a dedicated Deathrattle deck in Standard and jam this in Even Rainbow DK in Wild. Hat also confirmed my girl will get a diamond version - let's hope she's on the reward track!

    4 HP gives you a shot at survival on turn 2, but the safe thing to do is to drop it later in the game. I like it! Maybe my signature Cage Head finally sees some play.
