I like the combinations you can do, you can use bran, shadowcaster into this, kill the bran and shadowcaster, and somehow you will have infinite hand value, also works well with the quest, which I'd be happy to see back (I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this but after the nerf the quest isn't powerful enough to complain about it and neither a net deck to complain on that side, i'll call it a meme)
Crazy with both battlecries and deathrattles in any tempo deck. You can for example trade in an SI:7, play the token, then rinse and repeat every single turn until this card is removed. Also any charger like Patches becomes a minigun.
I feel like this will probaly be the most overrated card of the expansion, as it suffers from a flaw, that have made several other good cards borderline unplayable. And that is that it requires you to already being in a winning position to be amazing.
It's also not a fast trigger Shadowcaster is, and dosen't give you burn like Cult Master does, so it dosen't really ensure a win either.
What it does, is being able to recover from a potential setback, and refill your hand with strong Battlecry and Combo minions. Which makes it strong in Tempo Rogue.
I don't doubt that it will be a good card. But saying it will be an Auto Include in Miracle, Malygos and Mill decks is probaly to overestimate the card.

I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
This is a fine card but everyones thinking on it the wrong way....
If you think youre going turn 2 prince to turn 3 shadowdancer then youre focusing on the ULTRA high roll... in reality this card will mostly fit in a more value based rogue where you xan easily copy vilespines.
Expect your turn 2 kalaseth to die b4 turn 3... prince+shadowstep is intimately stronger.

I more or less agree. Malygos is a pretty fat body which actually makes him hard to kill on your turn and if he is gonna die it's not likely going to be on your turn, and it's not like ANY opponent is gonna leave Sonya up before killing maly. So you are still forced to try and play Sonya the SAME turn you kill Malygos, meaning Maly still has to just be able to stick on board one turn so you can trigger her ability on the next turn, assuming of course you can actually kill Malygos off. But then, if you have malygos on board you really don't want to actually kill him off if you don't have to. Which makes shadowcaster the superior card for any sort of Malygos shenanigans, since you have to hope maly will survive a turn in either scenario. At least shadowcaster doesn't kill maly and forces your opponent to put even more resources into killing him.
That being said I do think this card is a bit insane for tempo rogue, which has plenty of good battlecry creatures that are cheap, disposable once on board and have solid effects when replayed. This card is actually excellent for Jade Rogue as well as quest rogue.
EDIT: NM this card is pretty god like for quest. I forgot about cards like stonetusk boar lol.
Potentially powerful in both tempo rogue (with Prince Keleseth) and quest rogue... Think this will definitely see some play!
I think there is a small typo on the card. Blizzard forgot to add: "Combo: Put a random Kardashian Ass on a random rogue card in your hand!"

Another overrated shit.
This card is good in anything, tempo, jade, mill, etc...
It is a better version of already good Shadowcaster.
definitely in my personal top 3 must craft legendaries for this expansion
clearly it would be probably too good, but i think this card would be alot more flavorful if it had stealth considering her name is "shadowdancer"
Hearthstone is a game of "copy and pasting"

Nah, Zola the Golgan is neutral, this is a class card.

I'm compelled to rate her as "very good".
3 mana is cheap. It might make her effect be consistently applied.
Card could be deadly. Imagine you protect it with taunt minions and your opponent can't get to it.
Vilespine alone can be re-summoned multiple times?
I approve this...
Too situational. You need to have an established field AND your opponent needs to have a field that yields advantageous trades.
Not saying this is bad, as you can probably get the effect off once or twice, but it's no must have.
Rogue secrets and now this? Let Mill be a thing!
