Here's the thing, unlike Yogg with this card you know what is going to be cast,... so to some degree its controllable and could be even compared more to a N'zoth esque style refill if you've received mostly minions early game.
Think about it:
mage - stole flame strike, blizzard, secret, etc.
warlock - voidlord, doomguard, guldan
paladin - tirion
Just some examples of powerful steals that this card just creates monster value with - is meta defining, I don't honestly know. is it playable? in a control style steal deck, most definitely - especially in the hands of a good player.
Again this card can generate monster value in the hands of the right player.
The real question is if you shadow step this does it double down? I'm personally hyped for this card!
I mean, this is interesting, really interesting and hope it will be viable. But whether if its viable or not, I MUST CRAFT THIS, looks so much fun. Need to try burgle, echo rogue, even with kingsbane or valeera dk. Or maybe an even burgle rogue deck with her father, genn graymane.
Well, this really bumps up the power level of the burgle Rogue, especially since this can be bounced. It might make the deck quite good on average, though the variance will be really high, and it's very matchup dependent. Still think that the deck will be mostly a meme, Warlock already does the "bring back a huge board" thing much better.
And the problem with slower Rogue decks remain that they have garbage AoE. If you bring back a big board, other control decks can answer it. If they bring back a big board, you can't answer it very well as a Rogue.
If you previously stole a Hero card from your opponent's class, played it, and became that class, Tess plays all of your Rogue cards instead. (source)
There are gonna be some great YouTube videos surrounding this card and I can't wait for it. That being said, I will rage a little when I lose to her randomly winning the game for my opponent when they were clearly going to lose. lol
This is a fun deck where u can get an OTK combo if you manage to get a 1/1 Tess with Shadowcaster +Pillager (but you will have to "steal & play" tons of cards.
Voted meta-defining, because everyone's going to play it whether it's good or not, so it's going to be meta-defining no matter what happens. just the way it should be :)

Guys, it says every card not just spells. That includes any minions you pull and play.
Man this is my dream come true for wild. Always loved thief rogue and now this makes it super bonkers!
I always hated Yogg. I also hate that stupid thief rogue gimmick Blizz has been trying to force upon the class since TGT.
Imagine my surprise when I see this card.
The memes are strong with this card.
Of all the cards to have humor as part of the name/image, though, why not this one?
Missed points for humor; lots of points for memes.
Derp
I would assume pre nerf because it isnt a random efect
edit:
mike donais confirmed on Reddit that it works like pre nerf

I love burgle rogue
So sad Blizzard...
Rogue is not only a meme class
Probably my favorite card of the set, so far.

Since Tess Greymane card text says: "REPLAY EVERY CARD" and not just "CAST" like Yogg does, it will add INFINITE durability to the new epic weapon Spectral Cutlass and also will proc Sherazin, Corpse Flower deathrattle!!! Spectral Pillager too.
