It was run in Even Shaman, but not for the same reason as Mogu. It was just played as a Zoo card, whereas Mogu was essentially a disgusting board control + highroll potential.
Right for the wrong reasons, at least on lines 1, 2 and 5.
Dead man's hand is a Poker term, referring to a hand with two black aces and two black eights (black, hence the colour of Rogue) and any fifth card. It comes from folk hero Bill Hickok, who was killed during a game of Poker with that hand. The Hearthstone card is an obtuse reference to that, with a more direct Poker joke in the flavour text.
Before anyone gets too far off base, this requires some real-life trivia knowledge. If it ends up still being massively obscure, I can narrow down the possibilities.
Daring Fire-Eater?
Is it Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk?

Crowd Roaster almost fits.
I’m much more stylish than my kin, I'm not sure if that fits.
I wield that which sears the skin, It breaths fire.
the crowd cheers when I fight, I don't know if cheer is the right word, but it is a RR card and crowds cheer during that set.
my deck never took flight Dragon decks didn't work in RR meta, and even now Crowd Roaster doesn't see play. Plus, flight pun.
I've been playing a tonne of Highlander Dragon Mage. Luna's Pocket Galaxy isn't half bad when you've multiple ways to cast it for 0 mana.

But still right. Your turn!
It is not a Rogue card.
No, but close.
Given that it's been a whole day with no guesses, I'll give two hints.
1. It's a spell.
2. Lines 1, 2, and 5 are about real life. 3, 4, and 6 are about Hearthstone.
It's not Weasel Tunneler either.

No.
I am two pairs and an unknown
Not the class, but the colour of Rogue
My effect has nothing to do with my art
I never end if you let me start
Ask my holder, the man shot dead
Playing me doesn't get you ahead
Is it Fierce Monkey?
If DestroyerR doesn't come back by tomorrow morning (AKA 7ish hours), can we agree the next riddle is up for grabs?
It is Acidmaw. Your go!
Keeping on the trend, this should also be fairly easy.
I'm a trendsetter, ahead of my time
Although my stats are too low
My brother and I were made to combine
But we're like my animation: too slow
Nexus-Champion Saraad :P
Yep, it's Khadgar.
I debuted before I debuted - Was a hero before a minion
I am two and two and two and two - 2/2 for 2 that doubles your summons
When I missile, it's a blast - His Fireblast looks like an Arcane Missile
I am the second, the second, the last - Second Mage hero, second Mage RoS legendary, final boss of RoS
Wow, no bites? Maybe I made it a bit too hard.
First hint: It's a minion that's had multiple appearances in the game.
Awesome, thank you!
