Maybe "broken" is a strong word to use haha, but I think this is a good versatile card that just might see play. Maybe not haha, but the high roll potential is there.
I think it is a clear "dust it" card. It is simply too bad. One of the worst cards of the set. Even meme Tess players won't play that for long. It is magma rager level or worse Majority of weapons are weak cards that aren't played for a reason. Paying two more mana for them.....
Various "1 mana discover a card from a pool of decent options" haven't seen much play. This one is 2 mana discover a card from a pool of crap... I'll play Magma Rager before this.
Even if the card is a net negative on average, having a slight chance to instantly win the game is quite good.
Instantly win the game? HOW? Twig? It is not instantly win the game. It is merely good (if you aren't dead because of all that lost tempo).
this has potential, at least this expansion where we still have the legendary weapons and some good ones from the last year, but, unless we get anoter group of legenday weapons next yea (or at least decent weapons from other classes)r, after rotation this will not see play out of arena
It's Molten Blade for Rogue... what could go wrong?
???
What part of "DISCOVER" you don't understand?
And, unlike the crap warrior weapon you don't have to play a good weapon in that turn, like you have 4 manas and get a shaman hammer, this one you play the weapon in any future turn, plus, Tess support.
I tend to throw Molten Blade into my casual Warrior decks because it's fun to use legendary weapons from different classes, but it ends up being fairly uncommon. This, on the other hand, is very likely to give you one as an option, and that's just plain fun.
good chance to discover legendary weapons that might be better in rogue than their original classes (runespear, dragon soul for example). Really cool, fun card.
I love the flavor of this card and it does have some really interesting high rolls. I can't wait to try it. Just getting a Twig from this and your chances of winning just got that much better.
Discover cards that cost 1 don't see play. It's hard to see why you'd want one that costs 2.
How many weapons are good at +2 cost?
After thinking about it for a while I decided they probably made it cost 2 instead of 1 so Even decks can run it. If you look through rogue weapons the only 2 even costed ones are burgle related (in standard, although I doubt Poisoned Blade changes much for wild), and it is a similarly sparse set of options for weapon buffs.
Since they clearly wanted even pirate rogue to at least be tried, they probably forced a weapon generator to even cost so the weapon synergy tribe isn't stuck with 1/2 daggers only. 0 mana would be crazy, so here we are.
However, according to the card text "Stolen Steel", I would expect to actually steal a weapon.
A better card effect might be "Steal a weapon from your opponent. If he has no weapon, summon a random one (from another class)". But it is probably too strong, especially for 2 mana, and a deckkiller against Kingsbane Rogue.
Val'anyr approves it! Also Twig of the World Tree, Dragon Soul...
a tad bit expensive, but considering how costly tessrogue already is this seems like a reasonable addition to the deck
plus, pricey pricey = nicey nicey

Vinecleaver for Quest rogue
Stolen Steel + Academic Espionage + Aluneth
=
Stolen Steel
Value card in a tempo class. weapons aren't really that good. Can get branch though which is something to note.
Because memes never dies, man, this card is so meme

On the bright side, this card can enable Blade Flurry so it is kinda of an AoE ???

Rouge with doomhammer will be bonkers
good chance to discover legendary weapons that might be better in rogue than their original classes (runespear, dragon soul for example). Really cool, fun card.
Twig and Aluneth don't have downsides when you can destroy anytime, plus, Doomhammer weapon with poison see very nice too.

Woah, he has an outy!

Nice card. I really love the art!

There are so many garbage weapons in the game though.. you would pay 8 mana for aluneth? this card costs too much.. should come with a minion
