Ever since this expansion was announced, I've been holding out hope that we would get Xal'atoh, Desecrated Image of Gorehowl...

It's neat that there is literally no way to get rid of this weapon unless your hand is full. But I think it costs too much.
Looks like we got a contestant to the worst weapon of the game. Its quite close between this and poisoned blade.
not the worst card in arena
plus it wins any fatigue war
Make this a 2/1 for 3 mana and it would see play
Oh no! Trash is full!
Where is the Dust Truck?
its not vary clever man
They knew people would hate them so the announce them back-to-back
This card is so bad that you can destroy it
Sorry if this sounds stupid but... I though this card was awful at first... Like really really bad. But then i noticed something weird, it's not put a tentacles for arms on your hand it's return this on your hand isn't that weird? Does any buffs stay on it? And if they do will this card be any good? Maybe they will be introducing a combo with it?
Edit: Yeah it just sucks after all... I hope they give the cards something.
good thinking, they might be going for upgrade combos
edit: yea it doesn't work like this
Maybe i mean we got Upgrade and the Ogrimmar Aspirant, maybe something with spiteful smith too. I dunno it just feels nonsensical to send a card that is bad like this. Even poisoned blade had a reason and was to push inspire rogue, so i guess we can expect weird things coming weapon buff warrior be a thing maybe?
Well, look at the brewmasters, they say return a friendly minion. Does the minion keep buff? So yeah, you just get a 2/2 weapon back.
It's hard to fully review cards when we don't know everything because yes, there may be more weapon synergy cards in the warrior arsenal, or just neutral for that matter, maybe there's a card that permanently buffs weapons or something that permanently buffs this specifically from another card, we just don't know.
It's almost like Dreadsteed in weapon form. Difference is, Dreadsteed doesn't put a copy of the minion in your hand and force you to keep playing 4 mana 1/1s. If this weapon replaced itself as the deathrattle, then that might be something. You'd never be able to overwrite Tentacles for Arms with another weapon either, which is a downside that would balance out having 2 damage for 0 mana each turn.
And if you compare this to charged hammer, this card seems even worse. As Sjow's chat spammed during the reveal, 100 Dust EleGiggle
Unless Warrior gets a Weapon Buff like Deadly Poison anytime soon, (Upgrade...counts, but isn't enough) this weapon will remain terrible. I'm expecting some kind of weapon synergy coming out with this set (please don't tell me Pirates are enough)
I hate it when people are pessimistic about cards before trying them, but even I have to admit this is shit.
The cost is definitely too high for what it is, 3 or 4 mana maybe, but 5?
Naxx was the last expansion warriors saw a good weapon and they somehow keep making trash weapons.
