My gnome Rogue doesn’t use Rouge, she has naturally rosy cheeks.
With that out of the way, I think it’s a decent to good card. With Paladin going tokens, Lackeys and other smaller bodies there will be enough stuff in the meta to get killed by 3 attack even on turn 5.
Solid anti-aggro card with obviously good burgle synergy, pretty ‘meh’ in most other situations.

Sucky even in burgle because of how late it can be played. Could probably help vendetta but not the underbelly 2/3 which needs to see play early to address early threats.

Some cards are intended primarily as Arena cards. This looks like one. Situationally okay in a burgle deck, but potentially good as an Arena pick.
In alot of games it will be able to trade 2 for 1 aswell since it has Rush, and against the average deck there is bound to be a 3 health or less minion on board. Also another Vendetta trigger doesnt hurt.
Having it at five mana is probably a good thing it would be completely broken at four, and the body is a four mana body I really like 3/5’s they are often able to trade with two minions thanks to their health total. Rush makes it even more likely this happens and a card generated aswell. This is good without being spectacular.
I must be missing something to me it feels like three and four mana slots is the once that is really competitve. The five mana slot atm basiclly is two Legendarys and thats it.

Compared to Underbelly Fencer, sucks balls. Random minion, more often than not, will serve no purpose for rogue. If it would, you’d be playing something like control rogue.
We all know what control rogue is.
omg Team 5 lost all inspiration and is sticking to random card for way to long now for rogue.
You cant build a strategy, infront, out of random cards. This is why this mechanics is so bad. On top of that you cant even use some cards because ther not made for your class beause of the random effect.
You would atleast need to have an discover effect but even then its too bad.
Rogue needs more to follow his other and idenity´s and not only stick to the one that steals cards.

It seems that they want Rogue to be this full RNG win if you get lucky class and it sucks. Only Rush is good in this card (even art is just trash). Also how is it so difficult to spell R-O-G-U-E?

At 1st I thought it was a random card then I realized it was a random minion. Yeah, I think random card would have been better since random spells tend to be better than random minions. Still, it’s not bad I think.
Tess rogue is getting pretty close to being viable already, and this card is great for that deck imo.
The fact it generates a minion is very relevant, you want to play minions because they are guaranteed value with Tess, other classes spells are all very well and good, but when you recast them with random targets things can get messy and dangerous.
Rush with a 3/5 body is great, gives you a decent chance at a 2 for 1 trade.
The fact it’s a random minion is a bit of a downer, discover would be MUCH stronger, but class minions tend to be decent, and if you’re stealing enough cards , the chances are you will find some synergy with even the more awkward minions.
The rating of this card really depends if Tess rogue is viable, if it is, this will be an important part of that deck and so a 4/5, If Tess rogue isn’t good enough this won’t see play apart from Arena so 1/5.
Leave me and my dyslexia alone yo.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that get triggered buy this.
Depends on how much anti-weapon tech there is next meta. Cutlass rogue probably won’t see too much more support, but a card like this would be welcome in it.
If nothing else, this card is quite good in the rogue v rogue matchup for burgle decks as it adds from a different class as opposed to opponent, where they are currently lacking a large number of good enough cards that do that.
It isn’t a particularly exciting minion for 5 mana, but it seems playable in a thief deck. I’m not entirely convinced it will see a lot of play outside of that, but the rush part of it may get it there.
A mugger? are you kidding me?!
REPORTED!
Would have been much better if it discovered a Minion.
Its decent. People underestimate Rush. At 5 mana this cleans up something from a previous turn and usually survive and then you get some Tess ammo. Will it make it into a tier 1 deck probably not. Now if only Rogue was one of the Explorer Classes. A highlander Tess Rogue would probably work.

When I think about all the class minions available, things like apprentice comes to mind. A simple 2/3 drop that enables spell discount AND combo cards.
It has rush so it can clear smaller minions for sure. The random class minion is a nice flavor because class minions tend to be way stronger. Legendaries with the minion tag. Anything is possible.
I also like how it’s restricted to class minions.
