1 mana cheaper [card]Arcane Intellect[/card] that's guaranteed to be procced. This is the best of all the rogue secrets, and will definitely see play.

I'm not sure whether rogue wants a 7-cost minion that doesn't do something when played at all, but if they do a 14/10 with one half having stealth is in front of the queue to enter the decklist.

Absolutely busted, this card is the reason that secrets might see play in rogue. [card]Freezing Trap[/card] is already played, this costs 1 less mana and is targeted. I predict that this card will be nerfed at some point.

Amazing tempo, especially since your opponent can't just remove your stealthed minion the turn before you play this. This card provides the tempo that secret rogue needs to be competitive.

The weakest out of all the rogue secrets, it will probably see play at the beginning of the expansion but will then be phased out for better cards.

Strong secret that is very hard to play around. Not worth playing on its own, but definitely worth playing for [card]Blackjack Stunner[/card].

You really see that Blizzard wants to push the Stealth Rogue archetype. [card]Ashtongue Slayer[/card] gives it tempo, this gives it value. Very good card.

Quite decent card, especially since its body is big enough even without the effect. Not strong enough to carry a secret rogue archetype by itself, but it will see play because [card]Blackjack Stunner[/card] is just extremely busted.

This card is already quite strong, and the Prime is extremely busted, especially with all the extra stealth synergy they printed. Let's prepare ourselves for another expansion of rogue being on top.

Probably the best card that priest got this entire set. Will slot into any priest deck for the next 2 years.

One of the better imprisoned minons when drawn on curve, but absolutely awful when topdecked. Since they removed all card draw from priest, they will need cards that can be good at any point in the game.

This is an excellent buff, but buff priest needs more card draw to be viable. Shame they nerfed [card]Power Word: Shield[/card] into the ground.

Excellent in a dedicated Dragon Priest, bad outside of that. Will probably only see play in some kind of Highlander Dragon Priest.

If a tempo zoo-style priest exists, it will be because of this card. However, I think the HoF of [card]Northshire Cleric[/card] has forever ruined the chance of that deck being any kind of viable.

Faceless Manipulator is more flexible. Too bad.

You can summon enemy minions but also give them a buff. Really up to you whether Faceless Manipulator is the better of the two.

I think it's slightly better than [card]Faceless Manipulator[/card], but that card isn't played in priest and neither will this one.

It's a neat mini-Lyra, that's a lot cheaper but can only proc from targeted spells. Might see play in some weird miracle-style decks.

It's a neat value generator, but I think that Priest gets enough random cards from Galakrond. Don't see it seeing much play outside of dedicated dragon decks, which I'm not sure will exist because they don't have a real win condition. Maybe Highlander Dragon Priest?

It's a decent defensive 1-drop that gives you a slightly worse [card]Winged Guardian[/card]. Still a decent card when compared to most of Priest's other cards.

I don't actually think that this card is very good. All minions with more health than attack survive, which is only good if your opponent can do less with them the following turn than you can the turn after that. At 7 mana, it's really expensive for such a poor board clear.

Amazing card. Will see play in any paladin deck that likes having minions.
