This could bring 'Charge' into the meta, this and potentially other cards. the classic set - whilst with it's problems has proven itself for keeping cards relevant and essentially rotate cards back. this card has potential
HS_Liv clarified on Reddit that Overkill is a your turn only effect and that it you have to attack with the minion to trigger the effect. Also the effect triggers even if the attacking minion dies.
I'm going to try this in Rogue for sure and maybe in Hunter. I hope we get more pirates!
Too many answers for 3 health minions in constructed (duskbreaker, hellfire, flanking strike, swipe, lesser jasper spellstone, lesser amethyst spellstone, etc.)
Unless the meta shakes up quite a lot, those cards will remain basically everywhere and cards like Ticket Scalper have no chance of constructed viability
hahaha, yeah any 5 attack minion that can be summoned by Oaken Summons is to be considered (And I'm hoping we'll see some !). But I think the 5/1 rush is better still, Though I don't know, against aggressive decks it's kind of a 5/3 taunt because they probably don't want you to draw 2, so they are going to suicide things into it, which can make it better than a 5/1 rush that is pretty terrible against aggro.
It sounds like Overkill only works when it's your turn (something I didn't know about when I submitted my entry contest this week. LOL). Assuming that's the case, then I'd have to say this card is pretty mediocre. Will probably see some fringe Arena play but in standard, unless there's some significant pirate synergies to be revealed, this card won't make the cut. Voting Bad.

Not. A chance in hell. A combo of two otherwise bad cards to draw two cards is not going to be played is not gonna happen. Great in arena but crap in constructed unless there is something amazing to combo with it.
We actually have a convenient way to give it rush with Rocket Boots. Looks slow with 6 mana cost and clunky with 2 card combo but... There are also Goblin Prank but I fail to see hunter playing that kind of combo.
I think this card has some potential in dedicated midrange pirate deck if that will be a thing. Need to see more

quest druid? bit of a stretch but maybe

pack filler, unless tempo warrior becomes like really really good
Even hunter or Even rogue might use this card, Even rogue especially if they get some more even pirate synergy.

I'd say it's playable, possibly in several types of decks, though it's probable there are better options for all of them

This card would be so OP if the overkill effect activates on the opponent turn. But fortunately it's not, filler.

In arena it might be good though

I mean, if you combo it with rocket boots, it's kinda neat? Nah, still not viable. You'll never get the value off of it
I can imagine this seeing play in hunter. you don't need shaw to trigger it, but he definitely helps

Solid inclusion in Quest Druid... drawing cards before quest completion is good before and insane after
Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP

Imagine how broken this card would be with a 2 mana spell "give your pirates rush"
:O

Card is junk. People talking about combos with Shaw. There is only one Shaw. Kind of hampers combos. Pipe dreams.
Assuming overkill can trigger when it is attacked, it could be quite an annoying card to deal with.
Seems like a solod arena card, other than that.. Eh..
Why u hav to be mad? is only card gaem.
Not good enough on its own.
It might be with some synergy, but even then, i expect it to be too slow and conditional.
