I like the card. If it were a different mana cost, it would be easier to slot in. As it stands, in a weapon rogue, you have to choose between this, Naga Corsair and Phantom Freebooter while having Obsidian Shard also come up at 4 cost before you play any out-of-deck cards. I'm not sure which to go with and will have to make some hard decisions when putting together a deck for this.
Why do these cards need such smorcy statlines? This could easily be a 4 mana 4/5 and really push Rogue in a really good direction, but no, of course not.
It trades up and is aggressive. You don't need a 4/5 if you are pressuring the board with your weapon.
Playable. Since this reads: Battlecry: Give your weapon +1 durability. But it's probably too slow for aggro-control decks and not too much value and a bad body for Miracle/Control rogue. We'll have to see how it fares.
lol, that would actually be kinda hilarious. Play medivh, then next turn play auctioneer/counterfeit coin/this card, then flood the board with wisps and snowflipper penguins while you're drawing.
I don't know if that would actually be good, but it would be funny.
This card is definitely playable, even borderline good. If it was a 5/4, I think we would see a 2 of in any deck running shadowblade. You get immediate value off of him the turn you play him, which is incredible value in hearthstone. Your weapon allows you to deal with minions who threaten to trade up. He could see play if shadowblad is so good that it deems him worthy. Any other weapon is pretty much pointless. Obsidian shard has enough charges, as does assassins blade. So it's really only shadowblade that will make or break this card.
I know its a stretch but this can combo with a couple cards pretty well. One being Violet Illusionist, another being Fool's Bane. Unlimited attacks with no durability issues is a nice way to board clear, just a shame its so many intensive.
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
Meh
Voted Playable, cool card.

English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
So can we start the usual " ROUGE WILL BE TRASH NEXT XPAC, BLIZZ IS DUMB" thread already? Tradition is important y'know
Yeah, a toast!
Hrm, wonder if they are pushing weapon buff rogue or something.
I think this is pretty decent. Rogue have a 3 mana 3/2 now, which can go into this on curve. Thats pretty strong.
If tempo rogue becomes a thing this might see play in it. Question remains if a tempo rogue is actually playable in this set.
Wild Oil Rogue auto include...?

Check out my entry for this week's Card Design Competition. Vote for it if you like it.
Medivh Rogue incoming!
Does this work with Medivh? It seems to but I'm not 100% sure.
In "This weapon loses 1 durability" VS "Your weapon does not lose durability" Which one wins out?
Otherwise, Medivh followed up by this + Master of disguise or conceal could be pretty epic.

The dream:
Step 1: burgle Fool's Bane
step 2: play this
Step 3: play violet illusionist
step 4: profit
