  Shadowcloaked Assailant -  Its bad. Ghastly gravedigger is the better version of a disruptor that saw very little play when it was in standard, and thats largely because you still have to win the game instead of merely preventing your opponent from doing so. This card is way too expensive to begin with and I cant help but feel that the only reason why it costs 4 mana is to circumvent the usual sonya bs, not that I feel this card would be OP even if it were possible.

  Nightmare fuel - Not bad, but you wouldnt be playing this in a deck that isnt specifically thief rogue and even then I feel its not that good. Most decks tend to be minion heavy and synergistic to their deckbuild. Getting one minion rarely ever gives you a decent enough advantage.

  Mimicry - About as shit as it looks in standard. In wild, its more fuel for mill rogue, and its there that this card will truly shine. In standard however, this card will do nothing more than accelerate your death.

  Web of deception - Its not better than breakdance, and in fact its far worse. And breakdance itself tend to sport poor winrates, despite its inclusion into rogue decks in standard.

  Renfelral, the Malignant - The general thought process is surely to just bounce this a few times, then play giants for zero mana and trap half their hand, fingers crossed that they have no answer. Its a decent enough strat, but rogue will be losing both breakdance and tar slick in the next expansion and so have zero ways of dealing with board. In other words, you'll find it immensely hard to bounce this around and stay alive, unless youre really really lucky.

  Not to mention that any aggro deck over the past decade can and will destroy a deck with such a strat. We've seen it before and theres nothing to suggest this will change now.

   

  Still a few cards left, and usually if team5 leaves them unrevealed then you can bet its gonna be good, or at least interesting. So rogue is not folded yet.

  But these cards though? Cant see it. Few decent ones, but nothing broken.

  I had said before I wish Blizz would do something other than thief Rogue, but these are interesting cards. They do go into Priest flavor. Still, these look fun, especially the Shadowcloaked Assailant. 

  Not sure we need more pay off for bounce but I do like the idea of cards that improve the more you play them. While I say I like Renferal now I'm sure I'll be frustrated by it later.

  What is up with the wording on Harbinger of the Blighted? There is actually no possible way that this is the best way to phrase the condition.

  Why not phrase it like this? It's shorter and it reads better.

  As worded, wouldn't this also activate if it was shuffled into your deck and then redrawn? I guess they chose to be overly clear, rather than concise in this case.

  Uh, Blizzard? Did you put the wrong borders on these? Those are Priest cards.

  I think they stopped pretending classes have any identity a long time ago
