I can already imagine the SparkTV moments this card will hold in store. But in all seriousness, this card has an RNG element to it that will require some specific combinations to work around. Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound works well with it as does Malygos, and in Wild it'll definitely see some combos with Baron Rivendare and Spiritsinger Umbra. Not to mention with Spiritsinger Umbra in Standard mode.
Having this as deathrattle will make the 1/1 not survive in 99% of times. So be it Malygos, Auctioneer or whatever, won't matter. On the other hand its pretty decent if 1/1 is has a decent deathrattle effect like Aya or Cairne.

I might try this out in N'Zoth Rogue to see how it does. It's still a 4/4 worth of stats for 4 mana, which is only 1 stat off curve, with an upside that can potentially stockpile more deathrattles for N'Zoth.
Nope, Quest rogue needs you to play a minion, not summon it.
But this card... i see so much potential in it. The body is a tad too weak, but hey, playing a copy of a minion from the hand can be very good; and i don't even talk about something like Malygos or something else that might be good, but of something more realistic:
Playing this and summoning a Gadgetzan Auctioneer for 4 mana (and gaining a third gadgetzan auctioneer) can be so very strong that i call this card meta-defining; even if it might not make the cut.
But this card is one of that we might complain about how overpowered this card is in the forums; it alredy gives me a headache...
Seems best if it summons a minion with high deathrattle value since the 1/1 is going to get cleared anyways. Now rogue needs a deathrattle card with massive value.
Seriously? It's not hard to run a rogue deck full of spells and few minions. Very easy to set up a 4 mana malygos and guarantee lethal, you could even get lethal as early as turn 6 or 5 with coin if you draw perfectly, if you can otk that early in the game there's something wrong, why the fuck would you print such an overpowered card for rogue, you could have given this to other classes that aren't already tier 1.
But it's a deathrattle.
That's pretty far from a guarantee, you know. In fact, that makes it highly inconsistent. It's an Ancestor's Call that can be silenced and only triggered if you can kill it (which requires an enemy minion with 3+ attack or one of your very valuable burn spells) if you're trying to use it like Malygos in that style of deck. I do think this works better in Malygos decks than Barnes does, but it's sure as hell not a broken card.

Malygos Rogue!
Gul'dan called.
He wants his Dreadsteed back.
If this card is the only card in your hand you got yourself a dreadsteed :P
goes well with gadgetzan and malygos, and also thalnos.
Have this on board then the second copy as the only minion in your hand = pre-nerf Dreadsteed where the first body is a 3/3 instead of a 1/1.
Impractical, but hilarious if you do it.

Malygos
Printed for Malygos rogue every time haha!
Seems pretty cool, but quite hard to abuse, plus it's a deathrattle so it's naturally worse plus weak stats.
If you can trigger the death rattle on played turn it might be useful but if you cannot it is pretty much a trash
Spiritsinger Umbra + Kobold illisionist (choose a death rattle minion) you will gain too much value but condition is still hard to complete.
Malygos Rogue or possibly Quest Rogue
I'm not sold on the card just yet. Not nearly enough context to see what practical applications this will have.

Rogue's 3rd Jade card? lol
Nature is the Day.
Man is the Sun.
Woman is the Moon.
The Stone is the Sky.
The Art is the Way.

Value for deathrattle rogue... not that much since is random... a random card again... what a surprise.
1/1 Cairne, 1/1 Sylvanus, 1/1 Rag, 1/1 Ysera, 1/1 Lich King ect ect
2 of these plus Barnes should make a fun deck
