The problem with this card is there's no guarantee you get a good card, and the body isn't strong enough for an Unearthed Raptor to copy it. Most classes only have about 30-50% playable cards, and some of those won't even be playable with Rogue. What happens when you get Sense Demons or Bestial Wrath?
Same thing that happens when you play any 2-drop on turn 2 (juggler, aspirant, etc.) that gets removed right away, only you get a replacement card, along with some psychological pressure on your opponent.
And a turn 5 this into raptor leaves us with a 5-mana 5-6 split across two bodies that draws two cards from your opponent's class. Or ya know, turn 2 huckster into turn 3 raptor is also on point. It's not bad at all. I'll take this over dagger-pass every day of the week. Autoinclude in raptor/tempo/control rogue decks.
2/3 bodies are the gold standard for 2 drops. Anything else should have a great benefit, and I just don't see it surviving to turn 3. I could be wrong, but comparing this to Webspinner and Unstable Portal is a bit off. You include the whole of class cards and that introduces a ton of randomness.
Quote from TheWamts> There isn't going to be a discover card in TOG. And so what if the card is random? Webspinner picks up a random beast, didn't stop it from seeing play.
I did stoped playing it after dozen of angry chicken/falcodrago/captain parrot streaks
As for this card, it looks a good card, special value if u use the effect again via raptor or N'zoth, but i simple don't like randomity in my rogue decks, can't tell how i deslike casino mage, but people play it so this will see play.
@ShadowDragon That's a cool deathrattle card that fits Rogue flavour; I admit and love it :)

This card is real. It's not insane but it's going to be above average. Great synergy with Raptor.
It's almost on par with Dark Peddler, and Dark Peddler is quite delicious. Plus, it has the portal RNG where occasionally you get a card that wrecks shop.

need take time to make new pic and signature using the new cards.
Why to play this over Loot hoarder? is take a random card from your opponents class better than a card that you put in your deck? is it worth for the +1 health? It could easily be a 2/3..
I can't understand why people are saying "Average card, won't be used.." Compare this to Webspinner, or Dark Peddler. It's on the same power level with these cards, maybe a little bit stronger. And both of these cards are used in constructed. Plus, it's a neutral card. Why is everyone talking about only Rogue?

^^^ thank you!
Just one correction+addition. It doesn't draw card, it generates one, which imo is much better and quite needed in midrange/control decks. Also, to the fellow with the question, most "useless" cards can be used as combo activators as well (and for the beast issue, you can always include Huge Toad :P)

This is card is so much bettern than it looks. Getting Class cards from the enemy opens lots of possibilities. The only reason Burgle in't played a lot is because of its Tempo loss.

If your argument in support of this card is that it puts "psychological pressure on your opponent", then I can think of better options. There's this one dragon...Goes by "Nozdormu". Very competitive! The height of psychological warfare I highly recommend it.
I'm not really sure why people think Raptor Rogue will exist as an archetype in Standard. It's barely played now, so consider what will happen when Shredder, Belcher, and Egg all rotate out. A 2 mana 2/2 plus half a Burgle won't make up for the deficit.

No, a card advantage minion need to suffer a status hit, is a decent card.
This card is actually meh, blizz hate rogue for sure.
No discover + random class card.

That's ridiculous, discover is like, the best mechanic they've come up with for a long time.
Anways, card seems ok, raptor rogue will use, possibly sub for loot hoarder?
2/2 for 2 discover a random enemy class card would would be OP. Would have to be a 1/2 or 2/1.

This Undercity Huckster is goddamn dope.
Midrange Raptor Rogue is gonna be really exciting, especially with the addition of N'Zoth the Corruptor.
