I'd nominate this one "My Favourite Card, So Far" of the set. I mostly play Wild, and Reno Hunter and Reno Rogue are my favourite decks - any half-decent everyday player can pilot any half-decent home-brew to rank 5 by the end of each month without too much difficulty, and both those decks are a blast to play. Reno Rogue has a few win conditions, but the most fun is bouncing Blade of C'Thun a few times and smashing the opponent with a huge Big Guy. On turn 7+, Brann Bronzebeard into Elven Minstrel is basically guaranteed to draw one of the deck's win conditions. Fun times, I'm sure.

Don't work with Brann, it is combo don't batllecry...
Solid, 1 mana more than Arcane Intellect and get a 3/2.
But it's better because it specifically pulls minions. If you have four 5-drops in your deck, you're very likely to draw one.
Because a 4 mana 3/2 is actually a tempo loss. The cards you draw in hand isn't tempo gain, it's value gain. This is more of a value card because 3/2 of stats isn't good for 4, but is off set but value gain.
I will say though, that drawing 2 more minions sets you up for better tempo in future turns at the cost of tempo on four (or whenever you play this).
Also it's not a terrible tempo loss as you do get a body, even if it isn't very good. But it's still a tempo loss.
tempo rogue was using oracle cause it wanted draw, this card is much better than oracle cause it doesn't draw for uour opponent, also it draws minions which are draws in keleseth rogue than spells. auto include in the deck.

I think it could be a solid inclusion but Oracle isn't an auto include now, so I am don't think this will be an auto include.
Obviously this is bad in the current best deck, tempo rogue, as it's an anti-tempo play.
Problem with putting this in Miracle Rogue is that you're planning to draw your entire deck with Gadgetzan... Getting more chances to draw your Gadgetzan is great, I guess... But obviously your deck then contains fewer spells for cycling / dealing damage.
I think there's a chance it's good enough for Miracle. Mill and combo (Malygos) decks, on the other hand want this kind of effect even more - where you've got 1 or 2 SUPER important minions... So could fit well there. Certainly playable in some decks IMO.
I doubt tempo rogue can fit it. Tempo rogue wants a good board to scalebane, 4 mana slot will be used by Saronite Chain Gang and Fal'dorei Strider But this card can be played in miracle, to draw auctioneer or giants. I rated playable
I actually don't think this is all that strong - at least in most rogue decks. It's +1 card draw over Polluted Hoarder but has +1 attack, is a neutral, doesn't require combo and doesn't limit the draws to minions. That doesn't seem actually all that amazing. In decks that run out of steam it's way too clunky and low-impacting and in decks that could use it, it's often worse than generic card draw like Auctioneer or Sprint and the like.
Its better than hoarder because its specific fetch, not standard cantrip. You can isolate the draw outcomes very easily with this.

Chain Gang can be upgraded by Keleseth btw, or you can play it to bait removal before playing your pirates, or you can just use it endgame protecting large minion from trading.
Also I doubt Duskbreaker will be playable outside of dragon priest. Before when dragon warrior was playable the best amount of dragons to get reliable synergy was 8 cards. And Razakus with its 4-5 dragons can be very unreliable to get this synergy. Also Dragon Priest will be very vulnerable to jade druid and control warrior.
Overall I doubt that this card will be everywhere and you will face it each second match :)
Interesting card, but the ratings feel a little high so far. I have a feeling the poor base stats might be too much of a tempo loss to justify the draw benefit? Especially since you need a combo activator too.
Another one where we really need to get our hands on it to know for sure!
Edit: card art on this is fantastic though, one of the best of the set so far for me.

oracle isn't auto include because of it's drawback(drawing for the opponent, the deck WANTS card draw but can't afford a card draw that drops the tempo gain massively like mimic pod (without prep) and won't have cantrips cause they don't give much tempo.
the deck also currently has no real4 drops and the slot is very open for different cards, also works well with the new minion on 4 that draws 4/4s if Psychic Scream becomes popular you want more card draw to reload the board ASAP so card draw is very strong, not to mention it draws MINIONS as I said so it draws your buffed ones by keleseth.
Also the card is very good with shadowstep which the deck sometimes have it as a dead card.

Oh yeah I agree the card is quite good and I think quite strong in Tempo Rogue, but auto include? We'll see. It's really gonna depend on the meta. Currently Tempo Rogue is a high tier 1 deck with little to no card draw, so for it to be an auto include the new decks that hit the meta will need to incentivize rogue into card draw.
seems a pretty good card, maybe does not fit into tons of decks rogur has, but def could see this in the future.
like it, but nearly all of rogues minions are 4 mana this expansion, sooo got to see which ones make the cut.
This could work in many Rogue decks I think. Additionally this isn't necessarily an "on curve minion" Sure it's great on curve but I don't view it as competing with other four drops.
Busted card, completely busted. This is not just crazy good for its cost, but it's also a tutor, and tutors are known to be broken in combo decks.
Run this in a Miracle Rogue and you suddenly have very easy access to your few but extremely valuable minions, like Auctioneer and Malygos. Plus it improves your Auctioneers by not only drawing them, but thinning your deck of minions.

The more i look at the card, the more i think it is a Miracle competitor, instead of a support to it.
Anyway, this is a great card, and i like that the Bard theme is attached to Rogue.

At first glance I thought this was meh, but it grew on me quite a bit in the past 24 hours
Don't mind me just passing by
