DKs belong to the same class as their card. Valeera the Hollow would therefore be a Rogue, so Tess wouldn't replay your Rogue cards.
If you were to turn into, say, Scourgelord Garrosh or Hagatha the Witch, then Tess would replay your Rogue cards.
No, Tess treats cards generated by Lich King as a 10th class, "Death Knight".
So i played against Shammy, had lots of stuff stealed from the shammy class and played like a couple of earth elementals and other though shammy stuff. I even did get DK shaman and played it. So i was stoked when my tess showed up. Thinking, well this will be some nice pounding shit coming up. Played her... and she actually played all my rogue cards haha. So the card looks at what hero you are and then decides which the other class is that is referenced to by the card.
Guys I found a huge bug. I just finished a game against rogue, stole a bunch of cards, played a bunch of those stolen cards and then when I played Tess, she didn't do anything at all! I guess because the cards were rogue cards she didn't count them as "stolen".
it replays cards of another classes, so rogue vs rogue doesnt work
Just read the card text and come back
Just seems odd to make a card that has one match up where it doesn't work at all
You can always play Elise and Lich King (because Tess will replay DK cards) and you still have value off of her in Rogue mirrors. Not ideal but still something to do with her.
Anyone else just getting fisted by this cruel Mistress? No, just me? Ok.....
If I can even steal something useful at all, then Tess will just use the harmful effects on me and the positive effects on the enemy. Noice. Good thing I never played Yogg back in the day.
So i get an Archmage Antonidas from Blink Fox and T7 i played him and a Backstab, T8 two Fireball and T9 more two, T10 i played her and was the funniest thing see all those fireballs popping up! I also won a lot of games because of her.
IMO that was the best and funniest card in the expansion.
This card is a ton of fun! I got to a game with Sonya Shadowdancer where she ended up casting Dead Man's Hand and Iron Hide over and over and over, saving me from fatigue and aggression while filling my board with Gemstudded Golems.
She also goes on beyond death, so even if you play her on an empty board and she kills herself you get value. I should also tell you she replays cards from ALL different classes than your current one. Cards from Un'Goro Pack, non-rogue weapons and even stuff from Grand Crusader or Face Collector. You can have a game where she plays a card from all 8 other classes, which makes her possibilities endless.
I give it a 7/5 just because she's fun.

Great matchup against Mages, there's this one match where I stole Arcane Intellect, Lesser Ruby Spellstone (upgraded twice with Fire Fly and Tar Creeper), Archmage Arugal, Blizzard, and Flamestrike.
Infinite value all day.
I'm guessing she has a reaction to Sylvanas being played based off the sound clips featured on HearthHead. Or maybe Sylvanas also shows up in the Monster Hunt solo gamemode? Tess is the "Tracker" (Rogue) class after all.

Just experienced: If you steal and play jaracksus with rogue. Then play Tess greymane to play all your stolen cards: Youll cast rogue spells on your own minions. Including few warlock cards noone played. Confusing and very unappealing.
This card actually isn't that bad, but all the thief rouge cards are in wild so its not going to do very well in standard. also if your opponents playing rouge to you basically already lost. to be honest this card would see better play in a priest deck where its a lot easier to steal shit.
Apparently, if Tess steals a DK card the Rogue cards will be considered the "other class" cards. This will make Tess cast every single Rogue card you played during the game, including Shadowstep and Vanish. Well applied this interaction functions as a pseudo OTK, with Tess clearing the board and then giving you back any weapon you used during the game (will even cast the buffs on them). This can be repeated each turn until your Rogue cards used for stealing end up filling your hand and Tess can't come back into it.
My favorite card of the set. I don't know how good she is in standard, but she's insane fun in wild. Everyone plays shaman at the moment, so every other game you steal Shudderwock and that's pretty much another tess. Spirit echo is also insane, and sometimes they just insta-concede when you shadowstep her. An insta craft for a rogue main like myself.
I played against warlock and get Jaraxxus, but he wasnt replayed. It says replay each CARD so I am confused.
Maybe playing Jaraxxus changes your class to warlock like the deathknights do, so he doesn't get replayed cause its a warlock card
