    why play 2 mana draw 2 when you can play 1 mana draw 4?

    not sure if this card is needed in any rogue archtype... Secret Passage is just so much better

    2 mana draw 2. Seems pretty solid. Plus, if your deck leans heavily towards either minions or spells, this will be a handy tutor.

    2 mana tutor seems strong to me.  If nothing else, it helps activate Shuffle Rogue cards or thin the deck for them.

    I do not see a downside to this.  Rogue is known for being able to fire of things quickly in a turn.  Comboing into a draw 2 with this seems like an autoinclude in most Rogue decks

    Pretty good card. It won't wow anyone, but being able to draw a spell and a minion on the same turn could be useful in certain situations.

    Because Rogue needed more draw, 5/5 card nevertheless.

    Combos well with Foxy Fraud, and the two likely make for a very strong aggro/tempo play.

    On its own, its still draw, so you're not mandatorily required to play either dirty secrets or stealth minions anymore. And that alone makes this fill up a decent enough niche.

    It also draws your shuffled cards too, so there's that, a decent bonus for a great card.

    Will see a lot of play, I'd be surprised if it didn't. I'd imagine C'Thun Rogue will want all the good draw it can get, and this seems solid.

    Seems like a really good draw card for Rogue, but Rogue already has lots of draw. We'll see if all the combo synergy they're offering this expansion pays off.

    Incredible card. Will see play in C'Thun, the Shattered rogue and honestly most rogue decks. This is amazing draw that can fetch something tempo-y and spells like Secret Passage so you can dig for even more cards.

    Standard: will see play in nearly every rogue deck, including aggressive ones like stealth rogue.

    Wild: EVEN costed, so i don't really know where it will see play. Probably in thief rogue, and some aggressive rogue decks.

    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.

    2 mana draw 2s are usually decent enough to see play. This one combos (no pun intended) well with Foxy Fraud as well.

    Really great draw from Rogue, surprisingly enough. I'm sure it'll see play, if not this expansion, then the next

    Tutoring is always good so I can see this being used a bit not a ton but a bit nonetheless

    Naturally pairs with Foxy Fraud for a 2 mana 3/2 draw 2 play. Rogue loves drawing efficiently, and Swindle will allow the class to continue to do so.

    Won't be played. Not even in wild where they have a better card in Elven Minstrel

    Living like that.

    Works with the Foxy guy, and I think tutored draws work well.  Good card.

    Card draw is always good, and being able to sort of tutor certain cards is even better. This with the new C'thun will be a thing, at least in the beginning weeks.

    2 Mana Draw 2 seems good, and if you're playing Shuffle Rogue deck with Ticket Master, C'Thun, the Shattered, or even Shadow of Death and Waxadred, it's basically draw 2 and summon a Minion, since the Cast when Drawn cards are all Spells.

    This card is not terrible, sometimes you need a minion AND a spell.

    Not sure about this one, sometimes I see it as a cheap drawing card and sometimes as an expensive one. I should see it whilst playing.

    Rogue has a lot of draw, but even still I think this is worth considering. It's a weird tutor, but I guess having some sort of idea of what you'll get is better than blind drawing (unless you know what you're looking for and this doesn't fetch it).

    Maybe. Secret Passage is already so good for the aggressive decks, but maybe a slower list wants it.

    A little bit of extra draw is good. Do you run it in place of or alongside of Secret Passage? If you are running C'Thun in the deck and don't run many spells, this might be a good tutor for the pieces.

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

    2 mana draw 2, combos exceptionally well with the Foxy Fraud as well. It seems cheap and flexible enough to be run in the current Rogue lists, so yeah, will probably be seen everywhere

    It's a decent draw mechanic, so it'll likely see some play

    This is Dirty Tricks except you get the cards immediately. Rogue usually has no trouble activating Combo, so this is a better Arcane Intellect. The only downside is that it doesn't draw Galakrond.

    I have spoken.
