Sahket Sapper

Sahket Sapper is a rare rogue minion card, from the Saviors of Uldum set.

Strategy
This minion's effect is a less controllable Sap. While Sap works as an immediate enemy tempo disruptor, Sahket Sapper's is a delayed effect on a Deathrattle, as well as being not being able to target it, making playing it risky, since it could target a minion with a strong Battlecry, not to mention the opponent could potentially exploit it to do so. Like Anub'ar Ambusher, its effect is highly dependent on the state of the board.

It's much more effective when given Rush, particularly from Captain Hooktusk. This way you could use its effect immediately while giving you time to destroy any minions you don't want to risk returning, allowing it to perform its job as a tempo disruptor more effectively.

It's also an effective card in Arena when you are ahead on board, as it forces the opponent to answer it with a removal spell or multiple minions to not have their tempo heavily disrupted from its Deathrattle.
