Plus any Combo card that gets released along with this expansion.
that said, not sure if this is card rogue wants...
it doesn't this card is not great it's to expensive for it's effect, if it was a battle cry it'd would be better so you can play say this card with cold blood or with plague scientist, making it a much better removal card but this isn't gonna be a good card unless we see more combo related cards from this set that is worth drawing for a follow up turn, other wise it's 6 mana kill or trade with a card and draw Evis, edwin or Elven minstrel, SI or Cold blood. which aren't great follow ups.
First off, I see people comparing this to Starfire like "lol Starfall never sees play", but it isn't really a fair comparison since Druid has Nourish and Wild Growth in the same evergreen set, as much better mid-late game card draw.
Cursed Castaway is VERY specific targeted draw. Combo cards in general have a higher power level than your average card due to the keyword requirement, so I'd argue that being able to tutor for one of the strongest cards in your deck is much better than simply drawing a card. Not to mention, if you're playing this to look for something in particular, you're much more likely to get what you want vs. cycling with Fan or Shiv, and you have the flexibility of just playing it without needing a good Auctioneer hand, or even onto an empty board as just a body with a deathrattle.
(For example, the gameplan of Leeroy variants of Miracle Rogue is to draw to their Cold Bloods and/or Eviscerates for the finisher, which are both Combo cards. Or if you're missing Leeroy, this has the potential to grab an Elven Minstrel to dig for him instead, and so on.)
poor man's Leeroy Jenkins with a deathrattle...
What? You can't even begin to compare those two... Leeroy is a finisher, this card isn't.
Battlecry: Draw an Edwin VanCleef.
This card seems a lot like Starfire for some reason.
So what EXACTLY are you trying to draw? Just a random combo card is kinda underwhelming...
Edwin VanCleef? Vilespine Slayer? Cold Blood? You don't stick a bunch of random combo cards in a deck with this card. You put very specific combo cards that you plan to draw.

Well they're clearly pushing miracle rogue.
