A mix of Loot Hoarder and Dark Peddler means it is potentially quite useful in the right deck. It won’t be in every rogue deck because it won’t really fit combo (the archetype, not the keyword) decks that would rather draw than simply get a card, but as far as value, a 2/2 body with a decent effect for 2 has proven to be a good stat line. Especially in rogue where the hero power can clear off any 3 health cards that trade into this. I expect it may be one of the pieces needed to make a value/mid-range style of Rogue viable. For decks like that, you’re often less concerned about the pure power of the “free” card you get because most cards can be squeezed for some amount of value, and those sorts of decks often lack card draw. Obviously “Discover” would be better, but given that this isn’t restricted to 1-cost cards like Peddler, that would be too good. After all, this can get some very powerful things you wouldn’t have access to otherwise. Of course, it can get utter junk, but for the most part, it will draw a useful card.

The difference between 1 and 2 health is huge, as well. I think the only reason Loot Hoarder doesn’t see much play is that value/midrange decks want more of minions than drawing a card and dying to a hero power. And control decks don’t care enough about the tempo to delay the draw. This mitigates that issue at the cost of consistency in what you draw, and I think that exchange is well worth it.
