This will make that witchwood weapon very good. U basically run a classic miracle rogue with 1 of this spells and u are good to go. If kingsbane was cancer this is gonna be crazy
The big problem with Tess and burglecards espeacially was that you draw always 1 card from your opponents class. The most cards have a high synergy with other cards, so you can´t use them very well. This problem may could be solved in most cases now. The possibility to get more cards with a good synergy is better now. So may Tess could be a thing. Still totally random, so you could have a bad luck. But I think it will makes it better playing Tess. May not enough for high ranked, but may enough to have more fun.
Forget the card, how dafaq did Trump get into Ben Brode's house?! :O
You don't copy cards from the opponent's deck, you copy from the class, which can get you pretty crap cards. That being said, I love the additional support for my Burgle Rogue.
Can someone explain to me how the spells would interact with Skulking Geist ?
Skulking Geist targets spells that cost 1 mana before any discount
I am pretty sure Skulking Geist does not remove unless their actual cost is 1.
E.g. I recently had a game as BSM where I got Hunter's Mark from Mana Bind. Afterwards I played Skulking Geist and Hunter's Mark was removed despite it costed 0 mana.
This is actually pretty nuts. 10 cards usually means that there's going to be at least 1 or 2 high cost cards that will be an insane tempo swing when drawn and that's not even considering that you can play it twice (with Preparation as well to mitigate tempo loss). Then you also got tess and Lab Recruiter to basically have the ultimate value engine for late game.
This is probably one of the most powerful Rogue cards I've seen in a long time (at lest on paper). As someone who enjoyed the value side of Rogue through Jade and Deathrattle Rogue this gets me pretty excited. I hope this finally makes Tess Rogue a viable strategy, or at least a consistently fun one.

This is not really THAT op. Don’t forget there’s a lot of shit cards from every class. They just interrupt what you really wanna draw. But then again if you get something good it’s pretty amazing. But in the end, too much RNG dependent imho.
Haven't Renounce Darkness and Explore Un'Goro taught you anything guys?
Not at all comparable. This gives you cards that a human being decided would be good to put in a deck, perhaps even with some synergy among them. And most importantly... they now cost you only 1 freaking Mana.
They aren't from your opponent's deck, mind you. They're from the opponent's class.
those are cards of opponents class, not deck, why sould it be better by human's judgment than Renounce Darkness cards?
Also, they might cost you 1 mana, but is that reallyany good for a calss, which has no board clears, and in reallity, where value game is drowned in Shudderwock's glory
Well, text indicates that cards are from opponent class, not from their deck. Typical burgle stuff for rogue, memes and whatnot.
You're right. We can use Academic Espionage against Warlock to get Renounce Darkness, and the cards will cost zero!
well... RIP HS O.O d actual fok!!!
elaborate^^
(also, rip proper spelling :P forgive me that little potshot)
Now we just need to see a creature that has your opponent drawing a card every time you draw a card.
And when that creature is made, if playable by rogue, wild will be broken
It is broken in standard too with the existence of Myra's Unstable Element. If they ever make such a card it would have to be a druid card to have any impact and not destroy the game.
