Yeah, I have a feeling this card will see play and actually be quite good. Doesn’t look like anything great at first glance but it’s a straight battle cry so you can play it whenever. Could get some good tempo swings with this if used correctly.
Plague Scientist didn't see any play, I don't think a card that costs more could be playable, even if it's battlecry instead of combo. But future sets may push it into playable territory, as giving Poisonous to minions always has at least some potential.
I would´t play it atm to be honest. The 4 Mana is a little bit to expensive imo. I really hope they will create some good compatible cards for it in the future. Otherwhise Rogue will not have any chance or at least it would be very difficult for this class. I liked vanish a lot and never thought it wouldn´t fit to the class. I understand the argument from Blizzard, but I don´t like. A good reason to switch to wild for me.
While the card isn't "bad", and is certainly decent for arena, Plague Scientist never really showed up in decks either. No combo requirement, +1 Attack, but also +1 Mana... seems too situational to me and not benefitting Rogue's general playstyle.
I guess it is ok, but I don't expect this to be included in decks very often, if at all.

This card will replace Vanish in the Basic set.

i know i know, but i still have bad memories trying to make it work with plague doctor

I think this is good. Rogue still has the ability to clear boards, you just need to work a little harder for it.

good idea!
This is just a fine card. Something that may pop up now and again as the 29th or 30th card.
It's not supposed to be easy for Rogue to clear the board. That was a main point of the dev blog post.
It's still possible, technically, but inefficient and inconsistent, so not usually worth the bother.

With all the Lackeys floating around every Rogue board, this could see play as a 1 of in decks. But probably not.
Knife Juggler synergy is fun. Not on curve tho.

Rogue has a lot of cheap spells so this can work in conjunction with Wild Pyromancer for a 6-7 mana board wipe.
