Notes

• Before the game shows your opponent, you start with a non-Rogue and random class, your favorite hero of that class, and its Hero Power.
  • Your class is effectively different and discover effects and other things that interact with your class will use your disguised class.
• Right after you play a rogue card, your hero transforms into your the rogue hero you chose for the deck, and replaces your current Hero Power with its.
  • Playing a Multi-class card such as one from either Mean Streets of Gadgetzan or Scholomance Academy will remove your disguise.
• Using Genn Graymane with this card will result in the new class' Hero Power costing (1). Reverting back to Rogue however, nullifies the cost-reduction to the player's Hero Power and will not apply to Dagger Mastery.
  • This effect is redundant while disguised as Demon Hunter, since Demon Claws already costs 1.
• The effect of Baku the Mooneater will never trigger with this in your deck since the check happens before cards enter your hand.
• Using a Rogue Hero Card will not revert you back to your favourite rogue hero.
• Cards that reveal themselves without them being played can let your opponent know you are a rogue without removing your disguise. There are many examples.
  • Invoking while Galakrond, the Nightmare is in your deck while disguised will cause it to show up, revealing you are a rogue without removing your disguise.
  • Trading a Tradable card like SI:7 Extortion will cause it to show up, revealing you are a rogue without removing your disguise.
  • The effect of Enthusiastic Banker will reveal what card it stored, revealing you are a rogue without removing your disguise.
• The effect will confuse The Lich King into using the class specific card of the class you are disguised as, by restarting you can effectively choose what unfair card you want to play against or remove it completely if you get Demon Hunter were there is no card to give you.

Strategy

Maestra can serve as a tool to confuse your enemy into spending cards they otherwise may not have spent knowing you were a rogue.

Since your class actually changes, your discover effects and "from your class" effects(such as Wandmaker) generate cards from your new disguised class. Creating a effect where you can play your entire game as another class then surprising your opponent with a sudden burst of damage that they might not have expected from someone like a priest.
