You guys need to calm down (I'm not talking only about this card but MSG Rogues in general).
If a class/archetype is made viable in one expansion we'll have another Shaman. Blizzard is obviously building a base upon which to build in the next expansions. What if they went all in with trying to make Stealth Rogue a thing right now? It'd either fail and they'd have to start from nothing (you don't want that), or we'd have another cancer deck. A little bit of everything in this expansion, then they'll see what sticks and push that further in next expansions. and we'll have healthy and viable rogue decks. Now, if Rogue isn't going to be viable yet anyways, one of these cards might as well be a meme card. Why not? Not to mention that this might be viable in some aggressive rogue decks.
Alright, I voted "playable" on the poll, even if "bad" could be more fitting, but stick with me.
A 5/1 for 3 is meme-tastically shit, 5/2 is ... simply bad? and 1/5 is just useless (except in Inner fire gimmick combos) but this one is actually... almost average!
As the Twisted Worgen was rated 55 by the hearthpwn community after the release of WoG, this is the same card with +2 attack.
It might somewhat worse than Jungle Panther if your opponent has 1 damage AoE, random damage or very cheap taunt, or better for dealing with next turn 4 mana minions. Combine it with Shadow Sensei to trade with Flamewreathed Faceless next turn or with a Cold Blood or 2 for pretty awesome face damage.
I'm a little bummed they didn't make a 5/1 or 1/5 Wind Rager with the windrage keyword (just windfury). It could even have been a shaman card! But at least this one's funny too. In all fairness, this is actually acceptable stats, but you'd really just run Patient Assassin if you wanted to take this card seriously. Not actually bad in arena, since it will threaten 4-drops better than Jungle Panther and is otherwise on par with Shadow Strike.

When I saw the name of the thread I prayed for God that was just a coincidence. Then I saw the actual card... Well, goodbye Hearthstone, 'til next year, maybe.

Shut the fuck up and look at this card: Red Mana Wyrm. Sick in miracle! Stop blaming
Bad cards, always rogue cards.
looks like they want to make rogue the stealth and bounce class.
Tought they were keeping at least one good card to the last days. Crying inside.

This isn't good, in fact it is associated with a famously bad card, but it is probably better than many "just bad" cards like Scarlet Crusader, Flying Machine and Silverback Patriarch.
If you are looking for the REAL rager this expansion... Backstreet Leper
Check out my OTK chargfury shaman deck.
This card is going to be broken in arena.
People who refuses to play aggro out of principle are even worse than people who play exclusively aggro.
One should seek to become a complete player and play all archetypes, including ones that he despises for whatever irrational reasons.
The go to cards for rogue in this set will be red manawyrm and smalltime bucaneer. both with way better synergie than their actual classcards.

I voted for Meta Defining because we'll never see a rogue again. Looks like the majority of people is with me, if I look at the poll-results.
So glad I didn't pre-order after seeing this card. Filler cards are fine, for classes that already got premium cards.
I feel every class should have gotten a rager. It's not fair only rogue gets one. :(
Not that bad actually imo, but we will see...
12 wins in ArenA with: Mage and Paladin, first time legend with Rogue
Why did we get a fucking meme instead of the third jade golem card?
I dunno why we even have the other 8 classes when it's clearly just going to be a Rogue meta for the next two years.
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.
Can't go face though.
Turn 3: Shadow Rager
Turn 4: Sinister Strike + 2X Cold Blood = 16 damage to face very early on.
Put some Worgen Infiltrator, Twisted Worgen, Wolfrider, Leper Gnome, Abusive Sergeant and Leeroy Jenkins and Face Rogue might just be the perfect counter to Grinder Jade Druid!

This card guarantees that your opponent has to use AOE when you want them to.
Not great, but not absolutely terrible
