Wut! it's not the Legendary one!!! xD
i dont like that this weapon will force a player to armour up before an attack in some cases, this is often bad because armour is more valuable than health
It won't work into the face. Noggenfogger doesn't redirect attacks to targets, impossible by other means. If card text states "can't attack heroes", it still won't attack heroes.
I've seen videos of Fool's Bane doing it, or whatever the weapon from Karazhan is called.
calm down prof
I don't know exactly how to judge Bladed Gauntlet, but I'm glad to see that between this and Reckless Flurry we're seeing cards printed that encourage different ways to think about armor in control warrior.
Bladed Gauntlet might be a good answer to a lot of the bigger taunt minions in the game (Obsidian Statue, Voidlord, etc.) as well as a good answer to some of the bigger dragons (Ysera and Malygos).
Control warrior might shine once again. Decks that do nothing the first few turns (priest, Druid) will get punished for letting the warrior build up armor.
I can bet that there will be a 1-cost minion with a battlecry: gain 3 armor

I like the smell of Control Warrior in the morning.
Discount Gorehowl, but seems worse...
Because it fits control warrior, and I think this is the only reason we could compare these weapons. But yeah, it doesn't make sense to compare those weapons really.
I think this falling before of warrior class rising...
It‘s clear that you don‘t want to play this on turn 2, isn‘t it?
This is true, but the main reason control warrior is struggling is because it lacks early game removal that went away with fiery war axe. While I don't think this card is awful, it doesn't solve the problems that are preventing control warrior from being good in the meta:
1) not enough early board control tools versus aggro
2) can't out value razakus priest or jade druid
This weapon might possible see some fringe play, but that fact that for at least the next 4 months that control warrior will probably still be a low tier deck, I'm just not seeing it.
