I came here, hoping someone figured out how to combine this with Auctionmaster Beardo to get a huge weapon, but even then you'd have to actually be able to pay 2 mana each time plus whatever the spells cost. Even with double counterfeit coins and one real coin, you'd only be able to activate this thing three times on turn 10 (Beardo is 3 mana, this is 4. 1 hero power. 1 coin = 2 HP. 2 coins yields one more HP). 5 card combo for a 4/3 weapon on turn 10.

I've no idea what they were thinking about this card. How am I supposed to get any value of it?

If you compare it without any buffs. Poisoned Blade 4 mana 1/3  vs N'Zoth's First Mate 1 mana 1/3 + 1/1 minion. How can this card even be epic, to give DE value? Using your hero power doesn't make it any better… A 6 mana 2/3 really? Assassin's Blade got way better stats, and nobody plays it because it's too slow.

I think  their intention was to give rogue a way to trigger inspire effects without destroying the weapon from their hero power every turn. On paper this card seems okay if it was cheaper, but their execution of it was poor.

This could be good in a world where the rogue hero power costs 0

it can kill 3 of me...

The worst card in the game, even Wisp is better.

Edit: no wait Tentacles for Arms is worse

>:(

Tentacles for Arms is similar to 2 attack hero power. but need to invest 5 mana initially.  

Thing is the hero power doesn't damage you, and tentacles still costs more in the long run. You can use it twice for each play, giving it a cost of 2.5 mana per attack.That sounds subpar.

Worst card in the Grand Tournament Expansion. Hopefully Rogue will get a better weapon in the next expansion.

I've been trying with Finley, but it just doesnt help. Rogue really just didn't get enough from TGT. I feel like if Blizzard would take the blade's text and make that the hero power up from Justicar Trueheart I would feel differently.

it would be playable at 2 mana to say the least

even at 2 mana it would cost you 8 mana to get a 4/3 (comparing to the assisns blade 3/4 that btw nobody uses) and take you 4 turns if you played it early or 3 if you spend 4 on your first and thats only if you arent using your weapon in these turns, and take in considiration that were playing a rouge here not some late game warrior... nope still useless

If using your Hero power gave it +1/+1 instead, it would become interesting for control style decks - high risk (Acidic Swamp Ooze, Harrison Jones), potential high reward.

As it is it just doesn't compare favourably to Assassin's Blade.

They should give this to Paladin and make it common so it fucks up Pally arena.

I'd consider it if it were 2 mana (Like most people already said) or at least a 2/4.
