Shattershambler into Loan Shark or Korrak the Bloodrager I guess? Still waiting for a Deathrattle Rogue deck to make sense.
The other two cards seem nice. Jackpot! and Reconnaissance might be your only 2 cards that would make playing Tess Greymane consistently worth it.
Edit: There are a lot of AoE that cost 5 or more non-Rogue spells. Rogues don't have any forms of AoE. All and all, Jackpot! is a card worth playing around with either for the memes or serious experimenting.
Nerubian Egg is in core as well if I'm not mistaken?
Two out of three are good. Shattershambler will go great in a naval mine deathrattle deck and inkveil ambusher slots in any rogue deck that wants tempo, which is all of them. Jackpot is bad, just as much bait as contraband stash.
Yeah, I saw Jackpot! and wondered to myself when Rogue has ever wanted to play spells that cost that much for full value and what the use is, but I guess the idea is that you pair it with Swiftscale Trickster. That still leaves you with hoping that the 5+ cost spells you get are any good. I'm sure someone will go through what's available and rank the outcomes.
will it be too bad for Contraband Stash?
I mean do you play it so that contraband gets you 2 more expensive spells? in that case you now have FOUR spells clogging up yoru hand. If you mean get Contraband to replay these 2 expensive cards once you have played them, then sure, that seems cool, but I'm not sure this is the card Burgle Rogue/Tess Rogue was really waiting for to support the archetype.
Guess it IS clear now why they buffed the archetype though, a while back. Jackpot would have been even more questionable with Tess not being playable. (in Standard)
