This is really great. The problem right now is that everyone and their mom is running Spellbreaker to counter Cubelock. Sad to see fringe cards hurt by this.
How could they design this game for as long as they have and still make a card this bad. And why are they so allergic to altering cards? Just give it a small buff, why leave it as an actually unplayable, for all purposes non existent card?
One way to see that is by comparing it to it’s most direct counterpart, the warrior weapon. Same cost, same stats. Except the warrior can extract some value from his weapon by putting only expensive minions in his deck to secure Lich King or Deathwing with an attack. Not wasting an 8 mana turn by adding nothing to the board.
I’ve played this weapon a few times now with mostly lacklustre results. Even the best case outcomes are not good enough to give up something more consistent. Random spell casting is only for decks that are already hopeless and need one more Hail Mary, think Yogg. This thing can do virtual nothing, or worse, actually hurt you.
>be me >get The Runespear as my free KaC weapon >consider uninstalling >play game instead, 4 games later finally draw it >cringe internally as i pay 8 mana for a 3/3 weapon >smack opponent in the face since weapon doesn't remove any of opponent's turn 7-8 minions even though they're damaged >discover two 1 mana spells and one 0 mana spell >pick lightning bolt >lightning bolt own face >concede >disenchant this garbage
Seriously, what's with all these random effects? Soon you won't even need to know how to play or what cards do because they'll all be random and play themselves anyways.

Obviously busted card. I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelid if this had been printed as a legendary.
