Hooked Scimitar requires a combo card to activate the +2 attack and it's not really a 3 drop
I'd actually argue this is better for rogue as they have really efficient ways of getting high attack weapons with deadly poison and hooked scimitar. Just imaging rogue playing coin + Hooked Scimitar + Deadly Poison on turn 3 into this on turn 4 summoning a 6 drop while you also did 12 damage to your opponent with your weapon. Or imagine a more realistic scenario of backstab + Hooked Scimitar on turn 3 into this on turn 4 for a 4 drop and it's still really good. Something tells me ooze is gonna be a popular card this expansion lol.
Weird card. It's decent tempo with a strong weapon equipped on curve but it seems to fall off fast after the earlier turns. Most weapons don't have high attack so this will usually summon a 2-drop. That's fine on curve but nothing special later in the game. Also, the text on the card clearly states "equal to your weapon's attack". So hero attack buffs like Heroic Strike probably won't work with it. The best case scenario for this card in standard is most likely going to be a Hooked Scimitar on a Rogue aggro deck.
I play Cutlass Rogue alot, buffed to 7 (atleast) but alot of times to 12.
Great card!
mind sharing your deck?
Worst case, 4 maná 5/5 cause i asume this Will Simmon a whisp if you have no weapon is a really good card
nah you will summon a wisp when having a 0 attack weapon like bladed gauntlet or skull of the manari.
You sure? Cause based in other 0 maná mana summoners this should come with a free 1/1 in the worst case
If you have no weapon equipped, you don't get the battlecry effect simple as that.
It will work with Heroic Strike right? I'm assuming it does, even though the wording clashes. Still need to see the new weapons if there are any, but it looks good.
I don't think so. Heroic Strike is not a weapon. If it does, it should say "give your weapon +4 attack this turn" imo.
Oh yeah, just Heroic Strike alone shouldn't work for sure. That just makes sense. But if you have a weapon, will it do a total. For instance fiery war axe and the strike for a 7 cost minion. It's not clear.
I dont think so. I'm pretty sure Heroic strike buffs the warrriors attack value (the number beside the face) - not the weapon. Have a look the next time it's played
It won't work. Even if you play heroic strike you can see war axe still has 3 attack.
Good question, but I dont think so.
Heroic Strike does not buff your weapon (unlike Tinker's Sharpsword Oil or Deadly Poison). And since Steal Dancer only looks at weapon attack, Heroic Strike would not do anything.
I mean, this would be decent to play even if you just had the 1/2 from Rogue's hero power, as it would be minimum 5/5 worth of stats for 4 mana. In Warrior it seems good, but very situational, so unless the amount of weapons in Warrior decks increases, I would rather see it more in Rogue.
And then you get Depth Charge
turn3: Hooked Scimitar
Turn 4: this ~8/8
if they print some aggro secrets im convinced aggro Rogue is shaping up
Really good tempo card. I wouldn't be surprised if this will be nerfer in the future.
Finally some good card for even Warrior with geosculptor yipp, Bladed Gauntlet and such!
