April 2016 Card Nerf
It was announced on April 20th, 2016 that Master of Disguise would receive a nerf.
- Now only gives a minion Stealth until your next turn.
Quote from BlizzardThe ability of Master of Disguise to grant permanent Stealth has been a design obstacle for a long time, so we are changing Master of Disguise to only grant Stealth until the next turn. This change opens up exciting options for future cards.

Posted May 24, 2016 (Old Gods)She's actually a male tauren. People don't call him "Master of Disguise" for nothing.

Posted Apr 21, 2016 (Explorers)yeah this card is way too powerful!! you can stealth almost any of the big minions and insta win the game...
Suspect this nerf was most likely to stop any tricks by getting 1 mana 1/1 version of this card through the new duplicate effect rogues will be getting

Posted Apr 20, 2016 (Explorers)This is a good nerf due to the fact that in a C'Thun Rogue Deck You could drop a Twilight Elder on turn 3 with little chance of it getting removed right away. Then on turn 4 you could drop Master of Disguise To now grant it permanent stealth. Because of this your C'Thun will gain +1/+1 at the end of every turn and there are very few cards that could stop it. Flamestrike, Tinker's Sharpsword Oil + Blade Flurry, Sylvanas Windrunner if you get lucky, Mind Control Tech But now we're just getting into the hard to pull off.
While they said that it was a design problem for a long time. I'm pretty sure this possible combo influenced their decision.
