I think what we are seeing here is Blizzard struggling with the tri-class system. This and the previous Druid card are strictly worse than other already printed cards, and the Draw minion for Jade Lotus is also slow with a weak body. Either they found drawing from these three classes is OP or the Jade Golem mechanism itself is OP. It's the only way I can make any sense of it.

First time combo has been used NOT to make a strictly stronger outcome, but to make a pseudo choose one effect, as bouncing a minion back to your hand is not always a good thing.

 This is what people need to understand. With Pandas you need to bring back something even if you don't want, but here you can kinda "choose" do you want to use effect or not.

 I think people understand that. They also understand that if you're playing a deck that wants to bounce minions, you always want this card to bounce a minion. You don't want to throw away a chance at whatever combo or synergy you had planned for the sake of playing a god damned River Crocolisk.

Lmaoooo

Trolling hard

Youthful Brewmaster *must* return a card to hand if there is one available to target, whether you want to or not.  This new card gives you the option to leave all your cards in play (by playing it first) or bouncing if you want to (by comboing it).

It doesn't sound like a strong card to me, but it is not strictly worse than Youthful Brewmaster.

I was really happy to see the next card revealed. Now i'm really disappointed. When i saw it i thought WHAT?! THIS CAN'T BE REAL! Let me get back, i must have misread, maybe there's no FRIENDLY in wording. But no, reversed stats brewmaster with a combo. I can choose if i combo or not. What a combo, such deep strategy.

Undeniably the worst expansion class card. Damn, probably THE worst expansion card among all cards. Even the pigs are better than this. And it's a RARE! Yeah, RARE GARBAGE.

Guys don't hate on it that much ;(

I think it won't make it in most decks but in some cases it is better than Youthfull brewmaster. Imagine the Situation you played a 1-drop in arena and DON'T want to get it back on you hand for tempo. Well now you can play this card just for stats. (I mostly have arena in mind)

Such absolute bullshit. Rogue always gets the lamest cards in the world. Instead of giving us a weapon, a heal or an AOE, Blizz decides to shit in our hands with this stupid addition. Why do you even bother inventing cards that nobody will ever use? Nobody uses Brewmaster in rogue so why would they want a brewmaster with swapped stats?

bad as hell

After this thing they better either reveal a goddamn good weapon or announce they're reverting Blade Flurry nerf ,cause as of now this card is just plain offensive.... 

River Crocolisk with potential downside  when you missplay it(after combo) LUL Rogue LUL

I'm seeing a comeback of some older decks, such as Mill Rouge where you can bounce your oracles for card fatigue. 

Also its a descent card for Mill  where you can use it as a bounce to your SI agents, its also a descent 2 drop. Hard part here is the combo mechanic.

Um, this is as bad as purify. How can Blizzard print a class card that is strictly worse than a neutral?? I guess the advantage is avoiding the trigger when you don't want it, but at that point it is just a 2/3. What is this????????? This just pisses me off more that they nerfed blade flurry. Oh and where are those OP weapons Blizzard?

this is nerf for Lotus Agents. because shaman and druid are op.

It boggles me why they gave Rogue this card. Sure, it can tie in with the Jade Golem mechanic and there are still a few Rogue cards left, but was this what Rogue really needed at this time? The Jinyu Waterspeaker Shaman got was something Rogues could have really used.

Just like the 1 mana 3/3 weapon to shaman - when they doesn't need any more buff, as they already got 2 mana 3/4, 4 mana 7/7.
WTF, if shaman identity is big minions with overload drawback, then so be it... but why give amazing weapon as well?? And they have board clears on top of that. So perfect. Compared to rogue, which currently have no healing, no board clears, no big minions.... AND no good weapon / weapon buff.

Then there is pirate weapon buffing synergy... They give it to warrior instead.
This one isn't wrong, but pirate rogue was never even on par with the warrior's.
Oil Rogue was a great representation of rogue, weapon buffing combo class. 

I really miss the old times.... FeelsBadMan...
