It is not a card you would play on curve, so the "bad" stats are irrelevant.
It is not a card you would play in a deck with several weapons. You want it to guarantee one specific insanely good weapon.
Exactly. However, I wonder if you even want to do that? It seems greedy beyond belief for most decks. If you obtained any value out of your insanely good weapon the first time, how necessary is it to play it again in most instances?
I don't entirely agree. This still has synergy with Furnacefire Colossus. If you end up drawing weapons and using them, then draw your FC, you can discard whatever weapons you receive back from your Rummaging Kobold. If you run 2x RK, you can keep your hand stocked with weapons to discard. I could see a weapon warrior deck that goes big minions and some taunts etc. Maybe some Pirates with weapon synergy.

I think most control decks care alot about those big weapons. Like Ashbringer and Shadowmourne which both are great to have again and again. Maybe it could be used as a way to "burn" them with massive swings. I play alot of paladin and multiple Ashbringers really is a game changing thing since you now are able to cut them down with massive 5 damage swings.
How many do you need? Uthur, Tirion, NZoth, Stonehill...It just feels unnecessary. It fits in that deck, sure. But like I mentioned in an earlier post, I don't think Kobold is better than 29 other cards that you'd prefer to include instead.
Getting another Atiesh seems solid, man. Considering the small body on this guy, I find it hard to see this being used in aggro. May offer some great value to midrange or control though. It'll be interesting to see the rest of the weapons in the set.
Ateish costs 3 mana. So 6 mana to play another Ateish (and get a 1/3 body, basically irrelevant)...That's pretty meta-dependent. It's not often you'll have time for that kind of play unless you've basically already won.
I suppose it's decent with Jade Claws, so it'll probably see play in Shaman until Jade rotates out this spring. Other than that, we'll have to see what other legendary weapons we're getting.
Having a 4 mana minion stuck in your hand for almost the entire game is pretty bad. I guess it could work in a super greedy control deck or burn mage with Medivh. Seems like there are better late game plays available to those decks though.

I think it has potential, yes you can get back a Grave Vengeance or a Shadowmourne, but they both cost 8 mana. I think it could really shine with Blood Razor, maybe Obsidian Shard, Perdition's Blade, Shadowblade, Jade Claws and especially Atiesh and Sulfuras; but I wouldn't consider viable to build a deck around that. With Atiesh it's viable to put one copy in, so maybe in a Khazakus Mage, with the Blood Razor in a Fatigue Warrior it could be good ( also for the Shadowmourne ) and maybe in a sick and twisted Rogue. Other than those 3 class I can't think it can fit anywhere else.

I feel pretty certain that discard =/= destroy.
You are correct, but you missed his point.
He wants to equip a weapon, deplete it, get it back, then discard it to power up Furnacefire Colossus. He's not expecting to discard a weapon to Colossus, then get it back and equip it.
But even so, it's a very long path to travel when there are other big minions you can play without so much hassle.
1 mana for the body and 2 mana to draw a weapon. For most non-weapon classes it'll mean draw your legendary weapon... However you have to have your legendary weapon out first.
I think you would see 1 or 2 of these in a weapon priest deck if that's ever a thing since in general people tend to not have more than 3 hard weapon removal cards (then again that was before this card existed so *shrugs*). Since it seems to be saying "Give me Legendaries" it is either going to end up being a must have or complete garbage as the effect is really good if it works and it's body is complete trash for the mana cost.
This card single handedly enables legendary weapon decks. One ooze tech is no longer enough.
Also I'm not saying this card will be run in aggro decks mostly likely just control decks and some midrange decks.
Paladin? DK, Tirion, maybe the legendary weapon and Medivh.
But is hard to see a very slow control deck have a chance in a meta with broken priest, druid and Exodia mages around.
Seems decent already with some of the high end weapons like Gorehowl, Atiesh and the new legendary weapons. This is a wait and see I think.
Check out my fun and innovative decks here:
Beat your opponent to a pulp with Revenant Warrior or outlast them with Demon Reno Warlock.
Atiesh, and all those legendary weapon
but definitely not a rogue card
error.
Jade shaman? 1/3 draw another jade claws don't is bad.

And i don’t even play Paladins
Absolutely great to complete the weapons quest!

Playable... but only for the unique effect
