Cool card, but i think the stats are really low. It's not even a 4/2 like Polluted Hoarder. Toshley is a neutral, a mech and had 5/7 stats. This is a class legendary and i think it should've had a bit higher stats, obviously not like Toshley since the Toxins are stronger than the spare parts (except the stealth one).
Stats are bad, but, this card has overall great toxins for miracle rogue deck, and you can get 2 of them( 1 for sure).
I don't know how to value this card...I think its insane in miracle rogue along with pillagers. Just imagine you get 2 of toxins that deal 2 dmg, and then you do emperor and roll the shit out of enemy with malygos.
If these toxins were collectible spells, they would all be nearly playable in Miracle Rogue already. It's a nicely designed card, but I'm not sure it's powerful enough to make Rogue a top-tier class in standard, just because it's a tempo loss on turn 4.
But I can imagine a crazy Xaril N'Zoth Raptor Auctioneer Tomb Pillager hybrid deck, and I'm darn sure going to cobble that contraption together and play it until I'm convinced it's terrible.
Rogue is the best class to get this card. It will be amazing in Malylock or any rogue deck using Auctioneer. Rogues don't care about the stats, what they want are the toxin cards.
Or to enable combos or to gain value over other control decks.

First off, I have to say my volume was on 100% as I played the WoW quotes on the front page. WutFace
As many have said, disappointing. 4 mana 3/2 with an effect comparable to Toshley, but the toxins given are a little better or the same as the spare parts. I would've preferred to see the toxins be something more unique, instead of just Shadowstep, Blessing of Might, Holy Smite, Finicky Cloakfield, etc. Doesn't help that it's random. I really hate the way Blizzard goes about Rogue, they give us so many great cards and spells in the classic set and from then on have given us very little. Maybe I'll be wrong and this card will be playable, but I highly doubt it. Toshley is a neutral and almost infinitely better than this (even though they're not directly comparable because of mana cost), just like Dark Peddler is better than Undercity Huckster. Blizzard just doesn't know how the hell to print Rogue cards, we need more things like Tinker's Sharpsword Oil and Tomb Pillager (two of the ~3 playable cards we've gotten over the course of the last 5 adventures/expansions), not weird cards that don't fit an existing archetype and are too weak to create their own.
I get that none of us can predict how well this or any of the WoG cards will do, but so far I'm extremely disappointed with the Rogue cards. Blizzard should stick to Rogue's roots instead of giving us all these bizarre cards (felt the same way when I saw Anub'arak, which is a shame because I think he and Xaril are really cool characters).
Edit: I think Tomb Pillager is just better for miracle Rogue, but like I said, we won't know until we try.
About the stats: Consider that one of Rogue's staples since the beginning of time has been Azure Drake. This is like Azure Drake for 4, except you're getting a guarenteed cheap spell, which are the best type of card for Rogue, and you get another one after it gets offed.

Let's be honest this N'Zoth deathrattle rogue deck looks too sexy (especially since the two cards revealed for us are Deathrattle) to not try it out!
Can you imagine the possibilities for a deck archetype? First you can have a Brann Bronzebeard deck and pair with Unearthed Raptor and have a blast!
Or you could use the new card N'zoth and return it from the dead and get even more poisons! Not only do they have some powerful effects but paired with cards like Van Cleef, the one cost spells could be amazing!
So far this set is developing into a dark but also great set at the same time! Worth buying the prepurchase I say! Thanks blizzard!
Now THIS is a Legendary. Decent-ish stats on Xaril himself, but more importantly those toxins are all good value (the worst, Fadeleaf Toxin, is the same as a Spare Part and those are all considered decent). You get one automatically, and when Xaril gets killed you get another! Toss in some Raptors, N'Zoth, and you've got a reasonable Rogue Deathrattle deck approaching...
Or even a new Miracle Rogue coming. More cheap spells = more gadgetzan action :D
arg, again a good card, but not what i expect, not much gamechanging, i like the shaman legendary moore. Another point, can blizzard for once forget that rogue is not a tank class and make some minions with a decent resistent body? for fuck sake, give us a legendary that don't die to a cost 2 spell. (a'noob' arak<flamecannon)
Playing a 3-2 for 4 mana is never good, but rogue never really relies on board control to win the game. I think this card will fit very well in malyrogue as it provides another good 4 drop with Tomb Pillager.
I don't really feel the card. It's not bad or anything, but it's totally uninteresting imo. Spareparts 2.0 as class legendary just doesn't sound very exiting.
If the toxins would have been 0 mana it would have probably been insanely good, as it stands, I think the stats are just a tiny bit too low though. Right now it looks like either average or somewhat good, we can't tell for sure yet, or at least I can't. 1 or 2 more extra stats would make this card cross this gray area into the good cards territory in my opinion.
I have a feeling that this wont see play. Too much tempo loss. If you're really a spell heavy deck, I feel like you'd be much better off running Tomb Pillager and Violet Teacher as your 4-drops.

oh my god this card is nuts. Death rattle let possibilities for some N"zoth combo but in malyrogue this is way too good

Finally, a card can rogue back to the meta again.

Make the Card: The biggest thread on the site!
My mandibles which are capable of pressing down and tearing, my talons which are known to intercept and hold.
This is... a really fucking cool card. (puts on to-craft list)
Check out my Custom Undead Expansion!
...Or my Custom Elemental Expansion!
Decent card, low stats for tempo though so it won't make many decks.
Probably will see it in a N'Zoth deathrattle deck.
Finally! A useful death rattle card for Rogue.

Don't forget about unearthed raptor paired with Brann Bronzebeard!
You get 5 poisons for the cost of 2!

Edit: Still putting my dust in N'zoth.
need take time to make new pic and signature using the new cards.
