I was thinking with all the new weapons in the game now about how they can be countered. Admittedly some of the weapons are better than others and the ones that do seem to be stronger are ones you dont really want to destroy with a standard ooze such as Val'anyr .

So what about an Ooze that silences the weapon effect rather than destroys the weapon? Therefore when talking about Val'anyr paladin will keep the 4-2 weapon but the effect is what is lost. 

I'm all for extra tech cards and I wouldn't mind seeing a Kingsbane counter being available. However, I can't imagine that something like that would be played very often. There's not a ton of weapons with helpful text in the meta and the only classes that consistently buff their weapons are rogues and pirate warriors.

Unless it hits the 2/3 taunt summon a copy, guy... then they both have that effect, which spirals wildly out of control.

 Yes, but if your opponent keeps getting lucky and landing the highrolls, you're probably going to lose anyway, it's not Val'anyr alone that will make the difference in those cases.

I'd like that too, but it'd trivialize more than Val'anyr.  It would also screw Twig of the World Tree, Blood Razor and the aforementioned Kingsbane.  And that's only in standard before we consider older things like Death's Bite.

I doubt that Blizzard would do it because it'll screw up design space for weapons, both new and old.

I'm all for it, or having silence type spells and triggers allow heroes as a target. It wouldn't have to do anything but null the weapon ability which is something we have no ability to interact with yet.

 I think it's the opposite. A silence effect for weapons would open more possibilities for weapons effects that would otherwise be broken without a silence. Imagine if silence didn't exist for minions for instance, it would make some cards almost impossible to deal with.
