This is bad. People compare it to Truesilver and forget that it heals u for for and its not a tempo loss if it gets destroyed. People also forget that paladin has secrets and heals to help him counteract the fact that he is trading. Rogue dies way too early for it to abuse this. May i remind u that we had Shadowblade that is literary do 3 dmg and time out for your turn and it almost never saw play. U will have either turn 5 no board of u will fload the board with batlle cry stuff which in most cases is understated. I strongly dislike this card.

If theres a good defensive option for rogue i would be more ok but most defensive cards are rotating so pfff.

 I think you try to compare it too heavily to control tools. But see it as a 1 mana cheaper Arcanite reaper with 1 less damage and an option to trigger battlecrys twice. Aggressive rogues will love this card.

 On the one hand this gives aggro rogues a lot of burst, but the deathrattle is kinda weird.

You either want to run the weapon for the Shadowstep effect (which makes it a bit slow) or you want to run the weapon for the damage (the deathrattle puts you behind tempo). If rogue manages to make a deck based on many battlecry/combo minions (lackeys), then this will be extremely good there.

 Just combo it with Leeroy Jenkins and you have even more burst thanks to the deathrattle and discount.
