I meant Sherizan lol.
Shaku has only one application, which is "Put your hand in this bag and pull a random card out. Are you happy now?"
Sonya, on the other hand, has a much more larger/wider array of options and possible implementation. People have been mentioning the near infinite recycling of Charge minions. There's the idea of using her in combination with DK Val, as you'll almost always have two copies of Sonya at all times given the passive duplicate spell given at the start of your turn.
There's a lot you can do with this card. Shaku is just an RNG fisherman. I don't think Shaku is bad, but he certainly doesn't outshine Sonya.

Overhyped tbh
Shadowcaster do the same job but she's nearly even played.
But you do need way more board preparation for her and you can't have two of it in your deck.
To use this card:
1-You need to have a board presence
2-You need to trade
3-You need to get value out of a keyword
Now that doesn't look hopeless when you first look at it. It seems to be fit for the tier 1 tempo keleseth deck. But there is one major issue. This card is VERY i mean VERY situational. You can afford this if you're not playing aggro. Like with a Valeera the Hollow oriented deck (which is tier 4) you can afford to have some situational cards. But in the aggro deck this is basically a dead draw in a number of situations. You don't want this in your opening hand, you don't want this when topdecking, you dont want this if you're pushing for lethal. Which are %80 of the game for the tempo rogue.
However I still like this card and will definetly play it in my tier 100 non-netdecked decks...
insaaaaane!!
Crazy OP. After few seasons blizzard nerf this card
thell nerf patron too... oh wait they nerfed warsong
Is quest rogue going to be a thing again
Honestly I don't see a world where it's not. This plus stonetusk boar or Patches can literally do the quest from 0 marks on it, as of turn 8.
Turn 8 is a long time to wait to complete the quest (and not even play it yet). Usually when Quest Rogue was winning, it was completing the quest much sooner because Quest Rogue is on a clock. If they don't win soon, they don't win.
First of all it would likely not be the same Quest Rogue as we saw before, but I think that an army of cheap 5/5 minions is too hard to give up. Secondly this on turn 8 would only be a way to address if things went poorly early on. Lastly, many decks were just unable to even answer that many 5/5 minions, a quest rogue could very often win a value match against even a control deck just because EVERYTHING becomes a threat.
It's just like turn 5 8/8s in wild, except the other way around, turn 8 5/5s, and in standard.
Sonya Shadowdancer + Animated Berserker + Mechwarper + Boom Bot
OTK
I mean it would at least be amusing. XD
Not too likely to happen sadly.
Last I checked a 1/1 copy of Leeroy....and for that matter TRADING with Leeroy, is relatively bad.
