For 4 Mana ? I think it might be too heavy a violet teacher or shredder instead is better I think , since Hero power + Deadly is 3 mana and you can follow up with the classic Blade flurry, Also, for 1 more mana you can get Assassin's Blade and do hella damage with it in 2 turns if you don't get Harrison, So if you play it in turn 4 then turn 5 Harrison like you just passed your turn 4, but I guess it can be good in an insipre heavy deck and I like it I don't know why ^p^
Honestly it seems like a LOT of setup to get that weapon buffed enough to be worth the manacost so for that reason alone I think it won't see much play. I just don't see enough advantage it using it vs Assassins Blade.
maybe they'll make a minion with "stealth. inspire: give your weapon +1 attack". combining stealth with inspire could be really strong, but in this case it would essentially make your hero power give you a 2/2 weapon. and thats where the poisoned blade would come into play to get real value of such a minion.

Nice try to bring back the old dagger (I personally love the old dagger concept, sadly it was too op in the first version), but this weapon make me think our rogue getting worse at applying "poison" hmm.... its all good.
Well lets see (without combo with future cards)... you basically trade 2 mana to add 1 attack, but you need to pay 4 mana for a 1/3 weapon to set up that seemingly uninteresting trade. This seems to screw up a epic card slot for rogue tho.
If the stats need to be as wt it is now,
I would suggest to make this rare,
Or just rename it as Weakly Poisoned Dagger,
so this wouldn't confuses player and create argument.
Because you know, as long as you explain it in wording properly, its all good.
The main problem isn't the card itself. The main problem is that this is the first rouge card they show. We don't know if rouge will have cards that synergize with the buff you get every time.
Maybe rouge gets a minion that gains stats when your weapon gains attack? Who knows.

Blizzard has successfully created a worse weapon than Light's Justice. Card is bad, and to find room for this in a deck with already so many mandatory cards in rogue decks already.
They could have at least made it 1 mana (costed appropriately) and maybe you'd see it actually picked in Arena.
even if this is 2 mana, i still think it's meh. compare to rouge's other weapon, assassin's blade is a 5 mana 3/4, so this card is essentially 6 mana for a 3/5, the additional attack is just not worth it. unless there is some kind of broken combo with this card in the set, i can't see it being any use for it except disenchanting it.
How does this work with Blingtron 3000? If I get this card with another class will I be able to stack its damage by using another hero power? That would make this weapon more useful for other classes than for a rogue.
We simply do not know yet, although i wager it won't work with other hero powers.
This card looks like garbage at first, but we've only seen a fraction of the upcomming cards so far. It's too early to say if it's good or not.
Maybe rogues get a mad scientist for weapon cards for all we know :P

I can see what Blizz is going for. Inspire Rogue will never happen without a card like this to make spamming hero power good. Still seems a touch weak, but who knows, maybe this will be a part of mill Rogue.
This Card just shows, that with inspire comming, the Rouge Hero Power kinda needs a rework or rouge will completely fall of.
This clumsy atempt to make inspire work in rouge is a joke, if there actually is a card, that makes a 4 mana lights justice with 1 charge less viable. That card will be completely broken.
However, where was this card shown? Havent seen it on Stream yesterday and the dubious thing is, that it has no silver square araound the text box. Is this a rouge card at all?

Anyways, looking forward for the whole expansion.
I'm pretty sure this will be better than people think, once all the cards have been revealed.
Some combo involving Maiden of the Lake or Coldarra Drake and/or some other as-yet unrevealed card.
I think we'll have to wait and see.
Coldarra Drake is a Mage card..
exactly...

Poisoned Blade + Maiden of the Lake + Conceal ...never mind
Now Light's Justice is not the worst weapon in the game =X.
U use it and hero power on turn 6 - 2/3, turn 7 - 3/2, turn 8 - 4/1 -> 9 dmg 10 mana 3 turns
Assassin's Blade -> 12 dmg, 5 mana, 4 turns.
AB>>>PB
It should cost 2 or 3 mana.
I can see this being a pirate combo card - good with captain greenskin.
It's just mediocre, good at it's best, I don't think it will see any constructed play, on the other hand people may pick it in arena

6 mana 3/3?
