You mean the card that's one of two cornerstones of every competitive Rogue deck?
Yes I overrated it as one of the best cards in the expansion and I was surprised at how conditional it really is in practice with a few lackey generators. One more shaman/neutral lackey generator and I would probably change my mind about Weaponized Wasp
Do you think it's on average more powerful than flanking strike? I don't but I'd be happy to be wrong shaman is my main class. I think player will often be forced to play this as a 3 mana 3/3 vanilla on curve to maintain tempo, because the benefit of holding the card isn't as good as game winning Heistbaron and has diminishing returns over time, 3 damage is nearly useless in a lot of late game situations while Heistbaron can always get you answers you need.
I can be wrong, tell me, I'm not trying to be the guy who knows best
So if this card is any good, this is more of a 4 drop than a 3 drop, because people will play around turn 2 lackey. We have a 1 drop and a 2 drop lackey generator, they are both low tempo plays. Weaponized wasp is high tempo play assuming you have a target for it and you will barely recover the tempo you lost at first.
Overall seems too conditional to me. I look at Flanking Strike and I'm like, okay it's 1 less mana and can hit face, but having a lackey in you hand/on the board is a huge condition.

I totally overrated Heistbaron Togwaggle, I won't do it again
