    I can see this appearing in standard Hunter, maybe mage. Mad Scientist will keep the crown in Wild though. I also think this has no place in Wild Secret Mage.

    I was thinking about this as well, and came into the same conclusion. Mad Scientist fits the curve way better. This over Kirin Tor Mage? I probably like the 4/3 statline more. But the value of thinning the deck and getting those Secrets up shouldn't be underestimated.

    This seems to be mostly a Mage card to me. Thinning your deck of those Secrets is quite good.

    In Hunter, it could be good although it's not quite a good as simply just using Phase Stalker.

    Feel like this will be run in many Secret decks, especially Mage.  Hunter still has a few months of getting Phase Stalker value, but Rogue and Mage would gladly take ways to cheat out secrets.

    well this draws a card and fast effect. in standard might be ok, in wild it is way outclassed...

    I love this card, will definitely see play in any Secret deck. This looks like a faster Mad Scientist and a better Masked Contender because of its unconditional battlecry effect.

    The sheer value it can have for Mage ..! Damn, that's a free body on top of your secret casting.

    This will definitely be played in any deck with even a small number of secrets. It is one card that puts two cards on the field, making it good card advantage. And since it gets multiple cards on the field at once, it is good tempo. This card is very powerful and useful. And I would be shocked if it never saw any play.

    Mage and hunter probably the best home for it. And its really nearing the top end of being broken good. Basically this card draws a card from your deck and plays it for you. Kinda like how powerful Phase Stalker was, and this one guarantees value 1 turn sooner than phase stalker.

    In mage, this is just too good not to include as well. We already seen game master as another Kirin Tor Mage. Let's throw in another kirin tor mage, except this one doesn't even require you to have a secret in hand.

    Gonna see play all the way until its eventually nerfed or rotates.

    I'm sure any secret-centric deck will include this card

    I think secret hunter will return and this will be in it.
    Not sure about other classes, even though you get the most value in mage, in hunter it seems to have the better payoff.

    This should be a very good card. A great example of the edge that battlecry has over deathrattle (since it costs one more than Mad Scientist.

    One more than Mad Scientist but brings it on the board immediately... not sure if I like it more or less for wild due to one turn delay and it taking up a 3 slot.  Basically you pay for the secret, but get a 3/2 body along with it.  

    Judgement, totally decent.

    Very good card. Mad Scientist that has a instant effect. Basicly it's a free 2/2 body, and it draws a secret from your deck. This makes it so the cards that are left in your deck are more likely to be cards you want. We have seen this effect before with Patches the Pirate and know how strong it is. (And Skydiving Instructor did something similar, but while it's bad in standard it's a really good arena card, because it makes it so you draw better cards.)

    This will certainly see play in Secret mage and Secret hunter, but Rogue and paladin won't run it. For paladin secrets are a joke, and are not often in their deck. The only paladin secret that sees play right now is Avenge in ODD Paladin. For Rogue: Rogue prefers to play the secrets from their hand for the secret synergy cards like Shadowjeweler Hanar and Blackjack Stunner

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    A good anti-secret tech card will be necessary in standard next expansion. There are so many secrets and tutorsfloating around and nothing good to clear them .

    This card is just good, but I don’t know if current secret lists will want to run it.

    Definitely slower than Mad Scientist of old, but still a great way of thinning out your deck and enabling secret synergies. I think Highlander Hunter will run this, and Secret Mage will want to run it as well, although I'm skeptical of the latter archetype's competitive viability.

    Strong in Mage and Hunter, maybe rouge.  Rip Paladin.  I don't think its as strong as people think though.

    Amazing card. Mad Scientist but battlecry instead. Will see play if Secret Mage becomes meta.

    Doesn't make the cut in regular secret mage, but is getting me hyped to try out highlander secret mage.

    Mad Scientist but with a one mana extra cost to upgrade the deathrattle to a battlecry. I think this makes secret decks possible.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    This is some pretty bad stats for a 3-drop, but I'm a sucker for cards that put cards from your deck into play. It may not end up being very good but I know that I will be trying it out in as many places as I can. Probably at its best in Mage, but not terrible in Hunter or Rogue.

    I have spoken.

    What's the opposite of Powercreep? Powerslip? Because that's what I'm thinking of when I compare this to Mad Scientist.

    One of my favourite arts of the set, I love the flavour behind it. Definitely will see experimentation in every Secret class (except Paladin), though I'm not sure which ones keep it - maybe Mage only?

    More useful in mage than hunter, and it can enable deck thining in an efficient way
