Turn 1 play this discover tekhan congratulate yourself on pulling the one card nobody wants to see a rogue play this expansion. There’s a handful of other cards that would be dangerous and some that would suck. List of threatening cards includable. Antonidas: having a card to give 3 coins means 3 fireballs added to hand maybe even play one making 4 available before can remove it. Bwonsamdi could be a threat if rogue played espionage. Rogue could now pull dragon bane from Hunter which means 5 random dmg dealt if was quest rogue could cause 8 dmg with the 3/2 immune weapon. There’s Floop why wouldn’t a rogue want a free copy of another minion. Even have Gonk use the quest weapon and possibly kill up to 4 enemies in a turn. Hellscream from warrior drop it backstab it and smash face for 10 dmg. Hex Lord malacraz add starting hand to your hand could be broke as hell depending what was holding. Kalecgos is nice beefy health minion and free spells nice. Anyone want King Krush? Kragwa…..that’s not funny since can put removals back in hand. Lord Godfrey sure rogue needs a board clear card. Madame Lazul more value generation. Shudderwock is a given. Shirvallah would be tricky but not impossible for rogue with spells have and spell generators.
So yeah there’s a decent list of cards for rogue to want to play this and since it’s ONLY class legendaries it cuts out some of the crappy ones sitting in neutral.
Actually quite like this card for quest rogue. Any card that gives me the chance to get Shudderwock for Tess is ok with me.
Critical burgle mass approaching
This card is a worse hallucination which saw almost no play. Its trash and will never be in a competitive deck.
but what if you discover dark pharaoh tekkahn?
Then opponents would be crying if played early however there’s a list of other legendaries could discover that are just broken all around for rogue to get. And this card makes it so the only thing you can’t specifically discover for is a regular minion from other class.
I wouldn’t say it’s better or worse than Hallucination. These cards have two different purposes. One was to get you a decent card that would help you gain control, and the other helps you either find a game breaking minion or just a decent legendary. There are stupid legendaries, but for one mana this isn’t that bad.
A win more card for burgle rogue. Doesnt change the fact that card is good tho
What? Discover a Legendary cards?
And this spell card is not Legendary, and not even Epic?
auto 5.
Any legendaries Rogue could abuse come to mind?
Tekahn
And pretty much anything with a big body/strong effect for tess
Tony!

I am not extremely happy about this card, I won’t lie.
It’s not bad on the surface, but the Burgle Archetype has been played with in a number of ways already, and this card doesn’t really bring anything new. It’s yet another Burgle card, but it has no special perk or originality to it. I’m happy it has Discover, because that makes it much better, but most Legendary minions are designed to work on specific decks that require other cards to support their mechanic. You won’t be able to benefit from that as a Rogue. It’s not bad, it’s just that I think it’s a little boring. It’s like a slightly tweaked Hallucination. Even though the flavor is cool, I think they could’ve just made it much more original by Discovering a DRAGON from another class. Doesn’t that sound cooler ? Would’ve worked both in Burgle and potentially Dragon Rogue decks. Don’t get me wrong, I think this card is okay, the fact it’s a Discover makes it much better than a more specific Pilfer, but I just think they could’ve printed something more original this time around, and although I’ve liked Burgle Rogue in the past I think they’ve pushed the archetype enough now, and should try something new. 3/5, even though I think it may deserve a 4/5 in terms of viability.
Tess Rouge Rejoice! 😀
Otherwise, this a cool card to have, and it teaches even some of the newer players or Budget deck maker (like myself) to experience what minions that might be missing for Hearthstone. More or less likely each Legendary Minion are are you going for has a big adventage to go along with it, especially for when you don’t have an answer for late-game yet, so 4 stars overall.
The card itself is better than pilfer, which I did find sometimes in the ladder in some wahcky build, so maybe it could recevie some play. I don’t think that a non-meme deck would use it though.
Top Tier arena card, in constructed its always better then pilfer
One of the cards I wished for the most from this set is a 1 mana spell that adds a card from another class. Random legendaries aren’t that good but there is always the potential to get something good especially since this is a discover effect and the only card to compare this in standard is something as bad as Pilfer. That being said this card fills that role wonderfully and it’s a welcome addition to Quest Rogue.
This at first seems overly strong but legendaries are expensive and that’s something rogue can’t do, but it is a discover and it has some tempo rogue synergies, plus legendaries are better to use a lot of mana on. Although probably overhyped at first, this is still a solid card 4/5
