A 1 mana drop that also give some istant value! And also with Deathrattle! Finally something in addition to Northshire Cleric, now that Twilight Whelp is going out of Standard.
I don't really know if comparing this with Mind Vision it's right: Vision copy cards only from your opponent HAND, while this little guy can take something from his DECK. Ofc it's heavely RNG based but at last this is a creature and with the nerf to Small-Time Buccaneer's healt and the costant Patches the Pirate I belive it's a good thing.
At first glance, I thought this was utterly bonkers good. But then I started thinking. [quest mana awkardness] I think it'll still be a good card, but not quite as strong as it first seemed to me.
Elemental might change the calculus.
There's also the wacky idea of playing it in a non quest deck. however I think if you go second quest and coining this will be extremely good.
Fair point on non-quest potential, if such decks are viable.
Coin when questing going second? Maybe, but coining a 1-drop usually isn't the best play in general. In a fast enough meta, with enough 1-hp minions, it can be worth it, but it seems like a low-value use of the coin, which can be better used to ramp out, say, the new 2/6 taunt on 3 mana.
I mean, a 1-mana curve filler elemental who also draw a card as a deathrattle is a good card. I'm just not sold on it being "utterly broken amazing good" though.
I think that this card counters N'zoth + Quest in the same deck. I tired to theory craft but this cards just ruins the value of N'zoth since you will get two 1/1s are a result.
What you are you expecting to resurrect in standard anyway? Harvest Golem?
Anyway, as the Shade, this tiny little guy give some value due to the Deathrattle effect so also ressurrecting one give something back and it's not a completly waste, but I agree that it's not exactly the thing I wanna see first on my N'zoth.

I'd rather have this in a N'Zoth deck then Shifting Shade. Yeah, Shade's better when N'Zoth summons him, but Oracle is 1 mana and has pretty good stats for it's cost. Shifting Shade has awful stats and he's awkward to play at 4 mana.
I wish this was a 2 mana 2/2. With both the priest quest and this minion costing 1 mana curving out with them is awkward.
A strictly better Undercity Huckster. I'm sure people would love that.
Also, I think this card is good enough to see play in non Amara decks, and I'm fine with it being a 1-drop. Before this, Priest had exactly 3 1-drop class cards - Cleric, Twilight Whelp, and fucking Shadowbomber. Meanwhile, Mana Wyrm, Tunnel Trogg, Flame Imp Fiery Bat, Malchezar's Imp, Enchanted Raven, Babbling Book, Alley Cat, Bladed Cultist, Possessed Villager, N'Zoth's First Mate, Swashburglar....yeah, needless to say I'm quite happy Priest's early game is being given some love.
Thoughtsteal is simply a better version of Burgle using your logic.

.....that's because it is, and is why it saw much more play than Burgle.

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
