New Rogue Card Reveal: Shadow Sensei
A new card was revealed at a Fireside Gathering in Hong Kong. Thanks to /u/Muting46 for the tip!
Note: The name of this card may not be correct, but the effect should be good! We'll update when we learn more.

Would this work with conceal? That would be pretty cool.
yes it works
Shadow Sensei + Shadow Rager = PogChamp
One question I have is: Does a stealth minion still count for this when its unstealthed? Like N Zoth puts out all Deathrattle minions if they were silenced or not.
So my guess would be this could still target a minion with stealth while its unstealthed.
You can target your own minions with stealth with any card.
do you even play hearthstone?
I might actualy try stealth - aggro rogue with Cold Blood, chargers such as Argent Horserider and Leeroy Jenkins, Sprint and probably even such stealth options like Master of Disguise and solid Stranglethorn Tiger / Lotus Assassin
I think it might actualy be pretty good, because i remember a bunch of games where i won basicaly on turn 5 or 6 with my miracle rogue just by Concealing cold-blooded SI:7 Agent twice. Stealth is realy powerful especialy in conjunction with such efficient removal as Sap in aggro decks. Hunter's Cat Trick is a great example of how powerful are stealth creatures with high attack value. It just realy close game in a few turns.
I actually love this card, it's not broken, it's not bad, it's balanced. And it's also making people think of silent knight which hardly gets played now---hopefully more cards like this come out. This is not nearly as good as tomb pillager though, and probably won't compete with violet teacher or barnes the next rotation when rogue needs a 4 drop. However, sleeper cards like this can become the backbone of some decks if the next expansion promotes the stealth archetype even more.
It's cards like this that are actually designed and balanced so well that cause a lot of players to not appreciate them. On turn four this card is worth about 3.5 mana when the effect doesn't go off, and about 5.7 mana when they effect goes off due to the immediate +2/2 affecting tempo and flow of the game. The 4/4 body is perfect for this card when considering the amount of stats and the deck archetype, if this card was 3/5 it would be too slow and clunky since rogue values tempo so highly, and 5/3 is too easy to remove with all of the cheap azure drake spells.
I gotta disagree my dude. Yeti would be upset if you gave Shadow Sensai a 4/5 body.
True, I wish class cards were like that as well, but blizzard has a history of taking away 1 stat or putting the stat(s) in an worse place and then compensates with a pretty good effect (this is generally their way of making class cards better). But one day someone threatened Brode in the parking lot of a Chipotle and thats how Dr. 7 was created.
Ex. Tomb pillager--5/4 stats are generally not as good as 4/5 but compensates with better effect that is good most of the time--if you ask someone at blizzard what the downside effect is, they will tell you that the coin could mill your reno or something like that--and the coin could be useless late game. If you have a 4/5 that gives a stealth minion +2/2, there is no downside over picking yeti. Anyways, I agree with you that people like class cards to be stronger(than neutrals), and they are much stronger---situationally. I probably repeated myself at some point, it's 3am, sorry about that.
Strong effect
probably much better in a vacuum than in a real game, but seems really fun!
Very well designed card, strong enough to not punish people for trying fun things, and niche enough to see a small amount of play.
Make stealth great again
Stealth is actually a relevant and flavorful archetype for Rogue though.
Lol, another idiot who doesn't get how Hearthstone works.
It is almost dusk in Burgle Rogue.
Soon, it will be the dawn of a renewed Rogue... stealth.
Welcom back :)
Thus making Finja, the Flying Star a little more reliable
why would you play finja in a rogue deck?
Why wouldn't you?
Lmao, I love when Rouge gets trash cards. Makes Sap feel more fair.
