Too useless. Changing the cause of death, barely does anything. Because if there is no Mafia kill but there is an additional kill of some sorts then it is easy assume that X was actually killed by Mafia. This role is negative utility like the Framer.
RNG is never good for any strategy based game. Please learn the definition of what that means, especially if you're one of the people constantly defending it.

If you know how to use it, it can convince the town a Mafia is a townie. A Mafia kill can not happen for many reasons, the Mafia could be able to trick the town if it’s smart enough

whilst it may seem like a possible idea, this to me just seems to be plagued with the same issue the old disguiser had, which is a spy being in the game instantly sees through the deception.
Because if 2 maf visit someone who then dies to vig and maf don't kill, the spy is easily going to point out that it was a mafia kill, mianly because the fact that 2 maf visited makes it likely to be the person the mafia is trying to kill, like when a spy used to see 2 maf visit one target, but someone who wasn't visited by maf died instead.
