Pros: 2 Mana cheaper, can be further discounted to 1 Mana with Preparation, synergy with Spellburst, does not interfere with "Draw X minions from your deck" cards for combo decks.
Cons: Does not come with a 3/4 body, cannot target minions with "Cannot be targeted by spells or hero powers", cannot be bounced to be replayed.
This is really good. Even if you play a 2 mana card before, it's getting an Assassinate. With Rogue being able to generate copious numbers of The Coin, this could fire off with only using 2 mana in later turns. For warrior, you can have Execute and this in a deck to eliminate the need to find something to fulfill that criteria.
