Clarifications
- If a class other than Rogue has this equipped, their hero power will keep their original functionality in addition to buffing the weapon. (Source)
Your Hero Power gives this +1 Attack instead
of replacing it.
How much more poisoned can a blade get? The answer is a lot. A lot more poisoned.

I still doubt if this weapon is legit or just a fan-creation gone viral. Notice on Blizzard's cards, the term "Hero Power" is always written in capital letters, while here it is not.
How has no one else realized this?
Weapon write keywords in bold though. Check these for reference; Death's Bite, Gladiator's Longbow, Eaglehorn Bow and Glaivezooka.
Nevermind, this is a legit card guys. You can see it on the Arena Tournament Card section on HS's website. Bad luck for Rogues, I guess.
Well it's on the official site. Although the text is different on the official version.

Probably no additional interaction with Poisoned Daggers but we can hope!
3 durability though, and the ability to round out your mana curve without destroying your weapon. Maybe it won't be terrible.
My first impression, this is a really cool card but it is waaaay WAY. too. slow.
Obviously with 130 cards in the set there's going to be creatures you'll use to combo with this and make it faster, but all of the ones that have been shown so far die to all the warlock removal, all the mage spells, all the rouge stuff, truesilver and death's bite, etc. Hopefully there are more cards with hexproof or bigger health in this set that synergize with this hero power emphasis, otherwise these hero power combo decks will be shut down quite easily especially since you can only have 2 of each card in hearthstone.
Back to this card tho, even if you manage to make it work... slime/harrison, gg.
Seams to be bad but in team of Garrison Commander and Maiden of the Lake it has some potential.
As a rogue player I am just extremely disappointed with the rogue cards that have been released. I do not think this card will get any better unfortunately. When cogmasters wrench came out I knew it was lackluster but I hoped for some amazing mech synergy that might make the card viable. Rogue needs tempo cards like si:7 agent. The four slot is already taken by violet teachers and piloted shredders. The only way this card may see any play in constructed is if the mana cost is adjusted to three or if the stats are change to a 3/3 or 2/4 because you are paying four mana for stats worse than lights justice. Inspiration is not very good for rogue because it means you are not playing turns efficiently or on curve.
woah woah woah, there are other rogue cards released???
It's a 4 drop which is a slot Rogue currently fills with Tinkers(which is a spell and don't really compare to static cards, still) and Piloted Shredder in basic Oil Rogue.
The stats alone are very poor, but we have to keep in mind that new type of cards are on the way. Rogue cards are generally cheap. And this weapon could be helpful to balance out an unspent mana curve.
With new cards as, being able to use Hero power twice(or more) with a reduced cost. You could boost this weapons attack with the right minions on board, pretty high.
Saying this is "the worst" or "the best" at this moment is hard to say. We don't know what's to come and what new synergies we'll get with new cards. So no one can evaluate this accurately at this moment.
Although my personal view of this card so far: Better to run Assassin's Blade for a 1 mana extra that's already a 3/5. Boosting this weapon up to something similar means you have to spend an extra 4-6 mana. Which makes it a 10 mana cost. And that's just plain out very bad at it's current state and it certainly doesn't deserve to be treated as an Epic rarity.
Mage and Huntard new cards = OP, no surprise.
This weapon is terrible of course but hey guys there might be some interesting new Rogue Cards let's wait & see :D
What about blingtron grabs of this weapon? Does it gain +1 attack every time you drop a totem/armor up?
It says "your hero power...", instead Wicked Knife, so I suppose YES!

Seems like Harrison Jones will be making a comeback as an auto-include in control decks if this weapon turns out to be really good in combination with the yet to be revealed Rogue cards.
Because Harrison Jones never sees play right now, in a meta filled with hunters, warriors, warriors, and warriors.
Also because this weapon is overpowered. /Kappa
I'm not saying he never sees play right now, I'm saying that he is not an auto include in EVERY control deck like Sylvanas for example. And he will be if the expansion brings new good weapons (Although this one isn't good, but could be if it combos well with yet to be revealed Rogue cards).
this and ball of spiders are candidates for the worst cards in the game lol
