This card is good because you can combo it with a lot of cards. 1 mana SI agent isn't amazing, but it is still pretty good. You can combo this with Azure drake to keep the card draw coming in addition to getting cheap spell power.
1/1 Antique Healbots in Wild seem sweet. Even just getting extra Bloodmage Thalnos isn't that bad. This is another really interesting card that's hard to evaluate, the statline at 5 mana might just not be good enough, not sure it's better than just playing an Azure Drake.
Everyone thought the art was Valeera. Does that make us racist towards blood elves? ;-)
maybe it is valeera and blizz is just recycling art..
I think I will try it out with Xaril, Poisoned Mind and Toshley, seems fun.
Hard to evaluate it, it has a lot of potential with deathrattle cards and battlecry effects. Of course that card needs to already be on the field, so it is unlikely you will get too awesome of a card with this. Wait and see I guess.
For those who are saying Malygos, you need to have Malygos on board at first and since your opponent left it, you have probably won the game already
likely, but not entirely true...sometimes you have the damage in hand but not enough mana to play it in one turn, so you could malygos into conceal and on the next turn play this card + the 1/1 malygos and hit them with 2 14 damage Eviscerate or whatever else you have
Prep into a minion... sounds legit, what hack are u using? I want it too
ahahaha reading the chat sometimes is really Fucking' hilarious ! XD
You can fill your board over two turns with this card. Shadowcaster on turn 9, followed by second shadowcaster into 1-1 shadowcaster, into 1-1 shadowcaster, into...
Good on battlecry minions else we could have used faceless manipulator only..
Big nerf to Goldshire Footman
Really one of those cards where you question whether it'd be better than just running Faceless Manipulator. If you're looking to get more copies of a win condition, like Malygos, then he'd already have to be on the field and you're paying 5 mana for this plus 1 mana for the extra copy, while faceless can give you a full stated Malygos for just 5.
Looks like this is just good for battlecry minions.
Battle cry, combo,deathrattle seems decent, its useful to active combo cards, and give you a chance of win more with miracle decks, compare this card with faceless is pretty no sense when we are talking about rogue.
The only one problem is that rogue use to run good 5 mana minions, but wihtout healbot/belcher and loatheb there is room to this i guess
In my eyes this is a streight out upgrade. It has a body, and enables the card to be used later for combos. Say you want Brann Bronzebeard. That's a 8 mana combo that gives you two 1 cost Branns for later, or how about Reno Jackson, something you would never want to copy with faceless. This is also strictly better than Gang Up because you get the copy instantly, rather than having to draw.
Drop this on Brann Bronzebeard and get two more then rinse and repeat with Shadowstep then have a hand filled with madness!!!!
Then next turn drop 5 Brann Bronzebeard and then a Madder Bomber to see RNGesus go crazy
