I legitimately don't know whether this is great, trash or mediocre.
How could it possibly be trash?
Because it's very slow for rogue, rogue atm is a lot about tempo and borderline aggro. Big minions often aren't that big of an issue, not just because of sap but also because they can often ignore it, plus rogue really isn't that flexible of a class, a lot of cards are autoinclude.
Situational, rather meta-dependent, but I think that this will find a place in any Rogue deck that wants to fight it out on the board. Maybe not a card for Miracle, but potentially very useful in tempo or quest decks.
BGH has one less point of stats and you dont have to combo him, how is this card good?
BGH only targets minions with 7 or more health...? By this logic how is Assassinate a good card when it doesn't leave a body? Yet BGH is never played and Assassinate often is. Wonder why.
I feel this is how combo cards should work: 5 or less mana, the combo does something important, and is understated if not comboed but really good if you get the combo off.
as we see with previous combo cards they don't do anything spectacular: return an enemy minion to your hand, return a friendly minion to your hand, and even summon a jade golem that would only be like a 3/3 at best.
This one is not only has a great combo effect, but it also as an appropriate body for it. It just sucks that this is an epic and not a common so more people could have it.

As a casual i look for fun decks that have heavy tribe synergies like dragons, totems, and my favorite tribe murloc. I started out playing mid-range hunter and still do from time to time, but has shifted my love over to the least loved class by Blizzard, priest, and this is where i stay hoping for a better priest future.
Meta-defining in Arena. Anytime any class receives an efficient hard removal it gets instantly raised on its consistency. Rogue is already good with its efficient removal spells and now getting an even better Kidnapper in its epic slot with raised appearance rate is batshit insane.

Because every single minion in Hearthstone has more than 7 attack, right? Right...?
Rogue doesnt have problem to remove small or midrange minions tho..
Kinda agree with you on this too. Not counting stuff like high costing minions Ramp druids can pump out, how many 4/3/2/1 drops are worth Coin + Vilespine Slayer? So maybe this guy helps you maintain your board. I wish he had a bit stronger body, maybe a 3/6 giving you a chance to potential bounce back in the next turn.
Well, this definitely makes the rogue quest more viable... still don't know if it will be good or not. it's good before or after the quest is achieved as you will probably still have bounce mechanics.
It might make the quest more desireable to complete, as this minion would be great to play 4 times.
However, the reward is still just a 5 mana spell doing arguably not a whole lot.
Would it not be better to pass on the quest for a stronger starting hand and a more versatile deck?

Loved it, yep, now i am happy. Just need to wait and see what aoe they are going to give us, since Dark Iron Skulker is rotating, they must add another one.

Now that's a card. What happens if you play it on an empty board though - does it have to kill itself?

this has good potential. Destroy a card are good value.
Now that is a real rogue card.
With Tomb Pillager rotating out, I'm hoping Xaril will see more play as a way to activate combos.
Card is potentially quite good, I imagine you'd want to run this in the quest deck and include 2x Shadowstep as well.
