Playing a Deathknight taken from another class reduced the cost of Obsidian Shard from 4 to 0? (Are Deathknights coded as several cards being played at once?)
I played Scourgelord Garrosh as thief rogue and the cost of my obsidian shard went straight from 4 to 0.
My first instinct was that it turned my class into the warrior class so it went back and counted all the rogue class cards I played as warrior cards, like how winning as Jaraxxus counts as winning as a warlock. But when I later played Ethereal Peddler it didn't reduce the cost of the eviscerate in my hand.
So my current theory is that Deathknight cards (or just Garrosh?) are programmed as several cards being played at once.
It would be helpful if anyone could confirm this or offer a different theory.

When you played Scourgelord Garrosh you become a Warrior, so Obsidian Shard goes to 0 since you had played non-Warrior (Rogue) cards previously. Ethereal Peddler specifies non-rogue (it doesn't matter what class you are playing), so Eviscerate wouldn't get its cost reduced.
I never realised that those two cards are worded differently. Always thought the thief rogue package had the same text for all the cards like the dragon holding synergies.
