Strategy

This card is comparable to Ogremancer, being a well-stated minion with an effect the discourages enemy spellcasting. Cheesemonger costs 1 mana less to play, at the cost of having 1 less health and providing more long-term value instead of board presence. While the quality of the cards one can receive is random, spell cards are generally much higher value than the 2/2 taunts which Ogremancer summons. So long as one can keep their hand at a reasonable size to keep from overdrawing, Cheesemonger has the potential to be a very strong tool in Control or Value decks, particularly against classes like Demon Hunter and Mage who cast lots of spells.

Lore

Cheesemonger is the Hearthstone representation of Elling Trias, the owner of Trias' Cheese in Stormwind's Trade District. He was formerly a master rogue and implied to have been a member of SI:7, still maintaining a web of shady contacts. Eventually, he retired from that life to pursue his life's true passion: Making cheese.
