I think I can see a Malygos rogue running this. Obviously if you draw Malygos first it's unfortunate... But you could still keep Kobold Illusionists in the deck. Or maybe the Lab Recruiter... But then you're hoping he doesn't eat the Lab Recruiter...
I'm pretty sure there will be some op interaction with this card somewhere. I just can't see it at this moment.

You know this is a problem with a lot of cards in this game. The text makes it seem like you can choose the minions/spells but it actually is random. I'm not sure why Blizzard is not adding the text "random" in these cards it's confusing to new players. Obviously this card is much better if you could pick the minion.
My initial reaction is about the same as I saw Myra Rotspring... it is decent but not good enough to be used in decks (which I can't fully say that because I have Myra Rotspring in my odd Rogue deck). I think this card's potential is hidden. It is a delayed card draw that you can multiply with your deathrattle activators as well as making a lot of chaos with Sonya. It is playable and I will try it if I get it but it isn't my first choice when it comes to legendaries that I want.
Yes - it's basically a roundabout Barnes that will give you the card it took back to your hand if killed... assuming it's not outright silenced.
The problem, of course, is that Rogue doesn't run "Big Creature" decks because that's not how Rogue wins games. Also, even in Big Priest, the "Big" cards are cards that do stuff, not just stat piles. This is is a bad card at every angle it's looked at.

Yes it is random. The rule for card text is that it cannot exceed 4 lines. Adding the word 'random' to the Battlecry would push it to 3 lines giving the Deathrattle only 1 line to work with which would not fit. If they wanted it to not be random they would have used the word 'Discover'. The team obviously wanted this effect in the game so they made a wording exception. I am all for consistency concerning the wording of cards, but in this particular case an exception to the rule is warranted.
Its a solid value card, which isn't where Rogue usually wants to be. If it eats even a 3/3 its decent as a 5 mana 5/5 DR:Draw a card. Not a must craft but could be pretty good in a more value oriented (or DR) deck.
I really wish this had rush. Would be flavourful and would put this card over the edge.
Occasionally gives helpful advice.
how will be the interaction with myra? her deathrattle wont give anything or will be the choosed gral?
Very unlikely, or at best, will be the new Barnes + Y'Shaarj: strong for like a day until people realize it's actually not that good.

Deathrattle rogue is legitimately a thing. It's T2 by all accounts. You don't have to reinvent the wheel.
So it's a random minion, right?

Use this to fetch specific minion perhaps

This is a freaking tutor card. It's definitely more than playable in a combo class like Rogue.
5 mana 6/14 Deathrattle: Draw Malygos anyone??
Rogues just one legendary away from going an entire year without any useable legendaries.

Many questions. What "eat" means? Discard? Remove? What happens with double battlecry? Will deathrattle give you both minions?

this must be great great ancestors of baby shark ,mama shark and papa shark du du du du du ...
Very versatile, and yet if silenced....you lose two minions for the price of one. :X

Wow new effect
I love the card text. "Eat" a minion, heh.
Another Myra. One year of useless legendaries for Rogue. :(
