Compares Favourably to Brass Knuckles
This is still not a standout card by any means, but it is not unplayably bad. Will probably see play as a 1-off in a highly popular deck, or a 2-of in a tier 2 or below deck.
I mean you never know what we will get for paladin next expansion right after Rastakhan, perhaps weapon buffs??
Remember how Brass Knuckles saw no play? This is the same thing, except you HAVE to kill a weak minion for it to even proc. This won't see play
Unless it's a new mechanic you shouldn't be able to choose a minion in your hand... how would the selection process even work?
Wait a second great catch, there isn't a video of this weapon being used and if you look at Grimestreet Smuggler, it says random. But this would be insanely OP if you can select the target, or would it? Oof wait a second, my happiness goes out the window. Look at Totemic Smash, awkward wording but summons a random totem :(.
I mean It says "Give a minion in your hand +2/+2. If thats the case than this card gon be guuud, if not welp all hope is lost. But seriously they should rename it to "Give a random minion in your hand +2/+2 for less confusion.
Just an arena card or sth to put in your aggro/midrange budgetish paladin deck.
So sad this isn’t hunter card... it won’t be played in pally anyways and it would fit perfectly in my emeriss hunter deck...
Its a budget valanyr at best
Why would a Paladin deck play this instead of Valanyr?
Arena
because its cheaper in dust. ;-)
Maybe in budget versions?
Gotta keep in mind that this cant do full damage for full value. 6 damage for 6/6 at 5 mana rather than 8 damage and 4/2 at 6 mana, but much higher value eventually. Its a tradeoff for 1 mana saved, and I mean it CAN go in odd pally. Different cards
too slow for constructed great card in arena
The card art screams shaman weapon to me for sum reason, but as for the weapon itself... utter garbage; il take valy'nr anyday of the week.
Good card in arena
It appears that you can select the buffed minion which makes this ok. I’ve played probably 40 games of handbuff pally and its better than most people think, not great but decent and fun.
A combination of heal and buff may be the future.
I agree that it needs more support.
The card in your hand will be buffed at random because hearthstones mechanics don't allow you to select a card in your hand for those type of effects.
Why doesn't it say "Give a random minion in your hand +2/+2" then?
The wording is confusing. It should say random but it doesn't.
okish for arena at best
