Learn more and see all the cards in our dedicated Card List.
10/10 card since it solves the biggest issue with many Shaman weapons: consistency
you can use it to tutor The Fist of Ra-den in Control/Big Shaman
you can use it to tutor Boggspine Knuckles in Evolve/Token Shaman
you can use it to tutor Splitting Axe in Totem/Overload Shaman
what's not to like? Especially Knuckles is a crazy good card (just check the drawn win rate) when you're able to play it on curve together with Dread Corsair and possibly other minions on board.
seems good to me
this expansion we will see two rogues on the meta
Curves nicely into the new 3-mana weapon
if Corsair Cache is good, this certenly is. However will shaman weapons be good enough to even be put in the deck?
This + Quest + Evolve/Control = could be nuts. We have to see.
Possibility 1: Shaman will destroy everything
Possibility 2: Paladin 2.0
Shaman is becoming a weaker demon hunter class this expansion.

THIS DECK BOIS :D
i played it a bit - FUN, but missed in scenarios when weapon was on the bottom.
I mean, when you compare it to things like Cavern Shinyfinder and Corsair Cache, it's safe to say this is the sort of card that enables archetypes. That said, my knowledge of those two cards suggests that there's usually a specific weapon you're looking for (Spectral Cutlass or Kingsbane for rogue, and Ancharrr for warrior). I think Shaman has some options already in use that could be impactful enough, such as The Fist of Ra-den, Jade Claws, potentially (though perhaps that's too weak of an option to sub in for existing jade options).
Now, that said, with some of the new options we've been given (the attack synergies), it could be that simply having a more reliable way to acquire weapons is worthwhile. In wild, I could imagine this card in Even Shaman, but in standard, I wouldn't expect the synergies to be strong enough to really take hold of the meta. (Grain of salt, obviously, I've been entirely wrong about these things before)
As I mentioned below Boggspine Knuckles will make best use of it. https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1365639-pirates-weapon-evolve played this weapon shaman at legend ranks in October way before the announcement of Darkmoon. Cagematch Custodian will be a great boost ;d
Wow! They support shitty shaman archetypes with shitty cards! Why wouldn't they just give extra cool cards to push the archetype, not the mediocre ones?
Toten shaman sucks. Why not to provide chaman with controls cards. Some value for late game. Already have board clears, but need a wincon in lategame maybe something with corruption and Ysarg i dont know. But weapon shaman , nahh
exactly, i expected more "if you have a spell that cost 5 or more" get some advantage card, or "if you cast a spell last turn" get advantage card... but nothing, totem trash, aggro trash, murloc trash... trash trash trash
I was really hyped for shaman, but it looks like is gonna stay in the last place. a shame
even with all the new cards, shaman could not compete TODAY with demonhunter, with the new cards other classes get shaman will be even worse, the class is dead for ever
Okay, this is actually a good card.
Its a draw and its for weapons + 2/2 body is always appreciated,
Only sure thing is my Quest Jade Shaman in wild will abuse this, though probably not enough to compete with Reno Priest and now Reno Warlock with crazy deck obliteration.
Uh yeah, but what weapon are you drawing. The 3 cost weapon needs a board, and this isn't going to stick around with 2 health. This and the other weapon synergy card are the same mana cost so you can't lead one into the other.
Shaman is in desperate need of a 1 cost weapon.
Draw Boggspine Knuckles play Desert Hare or Doppelgangster and enjoy your win ;d
I've never had a Shaman do that against me now, so I don't expect it to happen because of this card.
