    Solid, but not spectacular. Might not see play as weapon slots are quite contested already.

    Seems like a solid weapon for an aggressive dh deck much better if you are not looking for life steal.

    3 mana 3/2 weapon isn't bad, but it isn't going to be played without some extra ability to make it better. I think the 1 damage outcast ability is strong enough for this to be played. However, if you end up with too many weapons in your deck, I imagine this will be one of the first ones to get cut.

    Incredible card. Counters aggro, and aggro DH can use this in order to get a weapon + clear. Super solid card. RIP Felsteel Executioner, it already got replaced in the same set it came out. 

    Standard: Great for aggro DH and Soul DH.

    Wild: ODD DH loves this card. This helps against Gibberling druids that didn't buff turn 2. (or turn 1 with coin) If YOU have the coin, you can coin it out on 2 in order to deal with Patches the Pirate that got buffed by Embiggen. Solid card, and you gotta mulligan for it when playing against a druid.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    It's ok, but I think DH is always going to want to be playing Aldrachi Warblades now, so who knows.

    I think this is going to be really strong, 3 mana 3/2 are good weapons in all cards nowadays, and DH has more agression than others.
    And this is not even counting the outcast, I think this will be really strong specially against other aggro decks.

    Think of it like a slightly more damaging Maelstrom Portal, except you remove the 1 drop in favor of a 1 mana Fiery War Axe. I believe pure aggro DH was given enough tools to reemerge as a viable deck and this card is very good reason why.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    Just no.

    3 mana 3/2 is vanilla. Does 1 extra damage, and to all enemies? Unless token druid comes back to tier 1 this weapon will never be even considered. If I needed a clear, I'd just play Shardshatter Mystic. Otherwise, I don't see why this card will somehow takeover the usual Umberwing into Satyr Overseer curve

    It's a better Swipe, just a weapon instead of a spell. Pitty that 3 mana slot is contested already with other better cards

    First Outcast weapon. That's kinda cool, but the problem with Outcast on a weapon is that weapons are typically cards that you play on the first chance you get, and they aren't cards that you want to hold in your hand for several turns (with exceptions for weapons that aren't actually weapons), and it's hard to use the Outcast and 3 damage effectively. It's certainly not a bad card, but I think most people will find that they'd rather just use Aldrachi Warblades instead.

    Just run the elemental weapon for +1/+1 instead.  I mean it's alright, but there are better options for weapons.

    With the outcast is really good for tempo, and can clear some low health minions on the board

    Nice little AOE and then a solid smack with the weapon I expect it will see some play

    I feel like this is all of what DH doesn't need right now. One damage AoE isn't that impactful in Hearthstone nowadays and the weapon competes in the somewhat crowded 3-cost slot for DH. I'd run Marrowslicer instead as it offers more relevant damage having more attack not tied to an AoE and fills in the 4-cost slot that is currently lacking in DH.

    For glory, honor, and gold!

    Another weapon to hit me in the face with....at least it's 3 mana fiery war axe. I would have thought for DH they'd have made it 2

     

    Living like that.

    Not very good when compared to current DH weapons. Solid Arena pick, but not constructed playable.

    Echoing what others have said, while this is a good card I don't know that it's exactly what Demon Hunters want right now. They already have really well tuned lists for Standard, and trying to fit another weapon into them doesn't seem wise. I also wouldn't want to removed cards like Marrowslicer or Aldrachi Warblades for this.

    It's solid but DH already has too many weapons to compete with

    3 mana 3/2 weapons see play often, but DH has so many good weapons that I'm not really seeing what this would replace.

    Not the best weapon that a DH own. You have good attack and gives 1 damage to all enemies but besides that you can go with better option cards for 3 mana slot.

    Good, but the Outcast makes it awkward to pull off the AoE consistently, which can be a problem against other aggro decks. But Aggro DH probably cares more about having a weapon, so it's fine.

    It's pretty good, 3/2 weapons always find a place.

    3 mana for 7 damage, compared to 4 mana for 8 with Marrowslicer. I actually think that an agressive DH deck has a lot of potential, with this, Acrobatics and Stiltstepper as its only 3-drops.

    This is a very good weapon for Aggressive Demon Hunter builds. It might fit into the Weapon slot for decks looking to flatten their curve to take better advantage of Acrobatics and Stiltstepper, as well as increasing their Outcast count.

    This is decent, but I think DH has better than decent options for weapons. This probably doesn't make the cut.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
