Shaku, the Collector

Shaku, the Collector is a legendary rogue minion card, from the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan set.

Strategy
Shaku serves as yet another source of non-Rogue cards, alongside Burgle, Undercity Huckster, and Swashburglar, but his effect is renewable as long as he survives. His stats are below average but comes with Stealth, which almost guarantees Shaku will generate at least one card, but makes him easily removable afterwards. Fortunately, he plays on curve perfectly with Shadow Sensei to buff him into a 4/5, increasing his chance of surviving longer to create more cards.
