T4 with coin, T5 normally. Only damages undamaged minions. People are praising this as anti-rush but it seems too slow for that to me. Might work in a control rogue sort of setup, but no good for the current oil rogue. It will do a number on paladins and shamans early game.
I'll play around with it but people's gut reaction that it's OP'd are off from my guess.

Yeah, I agree. It's too slow and doesn't fit well with the rogue's other tools.
What's the situation where you want to be playing this? By turn 5, even the most aggressive decks will have minions on the board that this just doesn't do enough against (Piloted Shredder, Sludge Belcher). I'll actually go farther than saying it's not OP—I don't expect this one to see much play at all in constructed. Pretty solid in arena, though.
Where are we informed that this is a rogue card? I'm hoping that this is neutral because it looks AWESOME in control warrior. It's exactly what is needed to deal with Quartermaster.

you can see its a rogue card from the color of the border of the card.

I'm not quite sure what I think of this card. It definitely provides rogue an additional AoE, but it has anti-synergy with a lot of their existing cards and strategies.
It interferes with Backstab, It costs enough that Fan of Knives and Blade Flurry are unlikely (though not impossible) follow ups. It does nothing for Miracle, Spell Sword, or Oil.
It may end up becoming an MVP - but if it does, it'll most likely be for a brand new Rogue archetype.
I can see Hunters playing Eggs vs Rogue, and Rogues attacking each Egg for 1 before wiping out the rest of the board with DIS. As a Shaman I'm not entirely scared. He plays this on turn 5, I play FE on turn 6. Rogue now has to deal with a 6/5.
Think this card sounds great in theory but gona be semi decent in practice. tbh rogue didnt need another aoe since he had enough of them, but time will show i quess :)
Surprised to see so many people think it's really good, or even OP.
It has potential against aggro, but there will be always things like Haunted Creeper and Nerubian Egg on your way. Being at 5 mana means that your opponent probably already played a more than 2 health minion, like Dark Iron Dwarf for Zoo, Piloted Shredder and so on. It's likely that Rogue plays Dark Iron Skulker, something survives and kills it, aggro player fill the board again and onslaught continues. It's more situational board clear. I think it has potential but definitely not as good as many people think it is. It's really good against Shaman in general though.

I see it more of a mid-game control card. Whittle enemy units down so they can be shived, FoK's, or hit with your dagger to finish them off.
I think of it as a Consecrate or Holy Nova with a body. It looks good for Rogue control decks.
Great arena pick for sure.

Looks like Shaman has another Priest level match-up now :/

Doesn't really impact Rogue's bad matchups besides Huntard. As long as Deathrattles remain uncontested with no counters it's not that good.
yey some love for rogue!
