This, in itself, is a great card for rogue. The problem is that rogue doesn't really have the health gain to make the best use out of it. Hard to evaluate, but I can imagine it being played as a one-of perhaps.
It's more or less aShadow Strike with 2 uses, but you pay say 7-8 health for it on average. Is that acceptable? For the most part I would probably say yes.
+1. At first I thought it was absurdly strong, then I realized Rogues don't have access to the healing required to kill larger minions in this way.
Still, like hebbe said, could be interesting as a x1. Guess we'll see!
This card is dreadfully bad. 4/3 body for 6 mana, requires a greedy deck full of high cost cards to be of any value, competes with the likes of Justicar, Sylvanas, and even Cairne for the slot.
Totally unreliable, requires a board presence to even pull off a potentially horrible exchange.
If every other deck in the game is like playing Checkers, Patron is like playing Chess. The plays you can make in all their variety... threaten to blow my brain right out of my ear. I look forward to spending some extended time with this list!
As of this writing I am running 18-2 (90%) WR with a couple of replacements. Initially the low amount of draw power sort of turned me off... but the honest truth is you don't need that much if you're piloting correctly.
Replaced the Twilight Elder with a Fierce Monkey. TBH, I don't like the uneven nature of TE and how he doesn't usually contribute much towards C'Thun 10 cards. I'll also say that Fierce Monkey has been fantastic against some of the faster paced Aggro decks. Wouldn't replace him lightly.
I also replaced the Crazed Worshiper for another Chosen. I'm seeing a LOT of Priest atm which makes CW easy tempo loss to SW:P. It also has a pretty solid presence with DS.
All in all, I m very impressed with this deck. A+.
I would love to tech it in my IS/DF Dragon Priest as another stall/win condition. Assuming you can deal with the Alex body on the board, it also sounds pretty handy to stop Freeze Mage burst.

Could this bring Highlander Priest with a Prophet Velen finisher in? Prophet Velen, is it your time at long last?
Did you hear that?

+Prophet Velen, Raza, and Radiant Elemental + loads of cheap stuff.
Interesting.

Now I'm getting excited. Grabbing Primalfin Lookouts and then producing even more murlocs? Yes please and yesterday!
May God bless us all and open our eyes to HIS TRUTH.

Not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. Wouldn't be surprised to see it find a place in some sort of low minion count control.
May God bless.

The Warrior/Mage/Hunter/Paladin quests (I have very little hope for most, but they are interesting).
Sunkeeper
Voraxx
King Mosh
Swamp King Dred
Any 2-3 of the above since I'm opening around 60 packs. Sylvanas and other Hall of Fame refunds can shore up any deck I find myself prepared to try!

This could be a pretty big deal.

Kabal Chemist also comes in at the 4 mana mark.
Competing with Auchenai and Funnelcake.
PSPotion also make (possibly just a single) SW:Horror ideal.
KC is more of a Highlander Priest card.

Interesting card with intriguing possibilities.
Allows a Reno style Mage to GAIN tempo with a big wipe like Flamestrike (board clear + develop), or even play a 10 cost Kazakus spell way early.
Very excited to try Reno Mage come December!

Bottom of the barrel here.

Trades well with the new Knife Juggler and survives to be healed/PW:Shielded for further value. Not that bad an option for C'thun Priest.

I honestly think this card is being underrated.

I see this being a one of in the way a lot of Handlocks run Siphon.
Me personally? I'll be very glad to have it. Trying to hang on to a Shrink+SWP/Cabal combo long enough to deal with Ysera can be painstaking.
