First of all, I have memories of Lilian Voss from WOW so this is nostalgic for me. Secondly, she has good stats for an effect that can be useful but might be a bit difficult to work around since Rogue spells are known for being low cost so you can play a ton of them at once.
Although this could be quite useful for those times when I accidently use Thistle Tea and get 3 more Thistle Tea's.
Did they nerf Lyra the Sunshard to burn all your cards in hand and add a random spell from your opponent class for each card burnt? and not even your class which definitely are playable even if they are situational(eg. Rogues cant play Shield Slam, some 0 mana totem buff, etc).
I read your other comment in which you said it replaces unplayable cards in your hand as per the current situation. Well, it will replace those situational spells with Shield Slam. I would say wait a turn, draw your Auctioneer and turn that situational and useless Preparation into an op card.
"some spells aren't playable, therefore neither is this card"
in other words,
"most spells are playable, so this card is bad."
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmok.
You are giving up your definitely playable spells for a chance to get playable spells which might be worse than the actual spells you have. i mean it's not even random cards from your opponent's class, it's just spells, no minions. So it won't even see play in Control Rogue which already does not exist.

This card is bad (competitively) because it's not doing anything: (A) you want to be doing; or (B) that isn't better accomplished by Gadgetzan Auctioneer.
Unless something crazy changes, the burgle deck is a meme deck. If Shaku and Undercity Huckster were only giving you spells, I could see this as a way to try to cycle unplayable spells into playable ones. But you'll get minions just as often as you'll get spells from those two. And it would still just be a meme deck.
And if you were trying to convert low value spells (coins and petals) into high value cards, Gadgetzan does that better by converting them to high value cards that you played intentionally.
This card is really bad, all the spells I put in my rogue decks are really useful, why should I change them into shitty rng spells? Even coins have a high value. This is just a stupid card, and doesn't deserve the legendary tag.
This expansion is the worst one they've ever printed, literally every card that isn't "Battlecry: undo every misplay and automatically win the game with no thinking or setup" is utter trash.

tl;dr this is chillwind yeti in a rogue deck.
It's worse than a Chillwind Yeti if you happen to have any spells in your hand which you will always have cause you are a Rogue.
This expansion is the worst one they've ever printed, literally every card that isn't "Battlecry: undo every misplay and automatically win the game with no thinking or setup" is utter trash.
And what does being a class card matter? Gadgetzan is neutral, so your snark is completely off base.
And sure...you can play other rogues, but mechanically, these decks are doing similar things. And competitively Miracle is almost certainly better than whatever this is going to be.
The real problem with this card is be legendary, if you can use x2 you go for x4 petals generators and discount 5/6 minion, no miracle deck, and can put all situational good spells like sap without fear of card disavantage, but with only one of this minion in deck you will be in a bad situation if don't draw him, is much better use the classic miracle deck instead.
Edit: On reflection this is playable as it let's you re-roll bad cards in a burgle deck. Still not good though as it will often replace good spells with junk.
Then............don't play it when your hand has good spells? Come on man, this is really easy if you just think. That's like calling Flamestrike a bad card because it does nothing on an empty board and is too slow.
If you constructed your deck with good spells...then a situation where you have bad spells in your hand shouldnt happen often.
Rogue has really good situational spells. Dude serious do you know about these cards??? Maybe you're new to HS?
These are all decent in the right spot at the right time. But if it's not the right time (like when you have double Prep and Coin), then fuck yeah I'd rather have other spells, especially when you can follow it up with Ethereal Peddler.
Think, people. It's not hard.
edit: Not to mention the spells generated from other cards, like Razor Petal and the toxins from Xaril.
I would rather hold onto those cards as combo starters or auctioneer fodder than trade them in for likely shield slams and beastial wraths
Rogue is usually all about holding their spells until they can pull off a good string of combos. So no people are not going to want to trade in spells that they put in their deck TO MAKE THEIR DECK WORK for a crap shoot.
Also with ungoro and quests each class has another piece of useless fodder you can pull. You play voss against a warlock and get the discard quest....gratz you now how at least 1 dead card not to mention the other dead cards you probably pulled.
As someone else said the situations where you would WANT to play Voss are so small compared to the situations you would NOT want to play her.
If she generated the cards without replacing your own spells that would be something, but requiring you to ditch your spells for a roll of the dice is too much.
Source: This guy played Rogue once in casual.
Rogue doesn't want to hold on to his spells to save for a single turn. Rogue uses high tempo combo cards to maintain board presence and put pressure on. In case you forgot, Gadgetzan is a neutral card, not a Rogue card. In what world do you play Hearthstone where you can afford to hold on to a bunch of spells in the early game while not developing the board?
You do realize you just made my point?
This card is only good when you hoard useless spells....if you are hoarding useless spells then you have already lost because your foe is just eating your face.
Not to mention this card only works on spells you draw. So if shaku or swash etc. dont draw you spells this becomes less worth while.
And if you are in a position where you are gambling on the spells that you specifically put in your deck then you have already lost as well.
Not to mention if you have even one spell you want to keep in your hand, this card becomes a detriment instead of a benefit.
All it comes down to is the cases where you would want to play this card are so small compared to the cases where you would not want to play it.
Why would you ever play this card with Eviscerate in your hand? Quite the opposite, you will play it when you have Shield Slam.
Why do you have shield slam? The only possible reason I could see is from a swashburgler or shaku pull (hallucination gives you 3 choices so you likely wouldnt chose shield slam).
I am not going to dedicate a deck slot for a card that COULD turn my POSSIBLE bad luck pulls into something semi useful SOME OF THE TIME.
Sure, I was one of the guys that was wrong with Lyra, but in this case you're losing your cards, your synergy, in exchange for random things. For fun fact it will be pretty cool.
All that being said, am I going to play Burgle Rogue in Wild and play this card in it? Absolutely!!! But I also accept that I will lose far more games than I win.

TIL Gadgetzan Auctioneer is a Rogue card and Miracle Rogue is the only Rogue deck you are legally allowed to play.

To everyone saying this can turn coins into something better: You are 100% retarded.
Also, this is the worst legendary class card of the expansion.
My magic will tear you apart!
I realy hope Auctioneer is moved into hall of fame this time, also as Jade druid nerf.
If Rogue gets tools for control, this would be a nice card as vs control backstab,prep are useless and its nice to be able to replace them.
All that being said, am I going to play Burgle Rogue in Wild and play this card in it? Absolutely!!! But I also accept that I will lose far more games than I win.
