    Does this destroy the enemy weapon, triggering its deathrattle, or it just transfers it to you somehow? Also, do you get it in hand or equip it immediately? It's hard to evaluate the card before knowing this, but looks like a fun disruption card and even better if you can benefit from running weapons in your deck.

    I don't think you would ever run this over Harrison Jones, but in some niche situations this card can be very good.

    Well this is going to be quite possibly the most tilting cards ever printed, Kingsbane is essentially unplayable with this card existing right?

    It also just seems legitimately good, compared to Harrison Jones as an alternative to weapon removal. This card looks to be pretty powerful.

    This is like Harrison Jones but better and you can put two of them in the deck. However I think it will only be played in weapon heavy meta just like Harrison Jones

    Niche tech for Kingsbane metas or similar.

    It is a bad card whenever your opponent doesn't have any weapons.

    Overall, i don't see people teching for Ooze nowadays, so nobody will include this either.

    VERY powerful if you manage to steal the right weapon! Imagine this during the Kobold meta... I guess that most times you will only get a 1/1, 2/1, 3/1 weapon, hopefully with some nice effect. I'm glad this card was printed, but I don't think I will use it much. (I also opened Harrison Jones yesterday from my Tavern Brawl pack, yay!)

    I don't really see this replacing Harrison or Acidic Swamp Ooze as anti-weapon tech. Generally speaking decks that are worried about taking damage aren't terribly interested in dishing it out, and for the same amount of mana you could get card draw and +1 attack instead of a weapon.

     

    Stickyfinger is an OK card but it's trying to squeeze into a very narrow niche. If it cost one less it'd be a lot more competitively priced.

    That is like saying Jade Idol is unplayable because of Skulking Geist existing, which most certainly is not the case, even now.

    Also, people are mentioning busted legendary weapons, but this will probably be best used in a rogue mirror or something like that.

    Harrison Jones seems superior so I doubt it will see play. Also, because it's a tech card, most depend on how weapons will go around in the meta.

    Anyway, nice mechanic and Pirate tag.

    Ah yes, the fabled Kingsbane counter, only one year too late.

    I don't see this being used in Standard unless Waggle Pick takes over completely.

    5-mana is a lot and competes directly with Harrison Jones, who is more universally useful.

    Also I guess I can safely dust my Kingsbane now?

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    funny though, the Kingsbane player can add this card to his deck too.  So, If your [Hearthstone Card (kingsban) Not Found]e is stolen, just steal again with this card..

    Interesting. If it equips the weapon after stealing, it would be really good especially with weapons like Twig of the World Tree. I think Blizzard is fully expecting the new Warrior weapon to be playable and thus printed a tech against it in the same expansion.

    Well it's over

    Not a bad tech card, but I don't think this is better than Harrison Jones. It probably won't see play unless there are a lot of weapons, and even then, there are cheaper options (dust wise) and better tech cards.

    Stealing cards isn't something we see a lot of, which makes this a pretty cool card, but I am not sure how good it will actually be.

    I don't get how the average rating for this is so high. I'm not saying the card is bad for what it does, but what it does is so very specific you can't just play it in every deck. In fact you can't just play it in any old meta. Its super specific, and unlike a card like Harrison Jones, which can be combo'd with a card like Weapons Project or Plague of Madness this card can't, and has a worse base statline. Yes, it finally solves that Kingsbane problem in wild, but that doesn't make this TECH card a nearly 4 star card.

    I won't dismiss this card yet. Yes, it is worse than harrison jones because most of the time, if you have a weapon tech in your deck, you will have a game plan that prefers to draw cards rather than steal a weapon (and currently there aren't many weapons worthy of stealing)

    However, since warrior recieved a new legendary weapon, we might come to see other legendary weapons, some really wort being stolen. 

    This card being good or bad really depends on other good weapons being printed, Kobolts and Katacombs style.

    As an unlucky player who never opened Harrison Jones in a classic pack despite playing since naxx this 400 dust version actually appeals to me as a way to actually include high impact weapon removal in my deck..

    Btw this card is also a pirate so it can be searched for in warrior and rogue with Ancharrr and Raiding Party so if the meta is weapon heavy the decks that run the weapons also can fetch their weapons back (as long as they have enough durability to actually be able to take it back).

    stealing a weapon is destroying it for your opponent without triggering deathrattles, "drawing the weapon", then playing the weapon with as much durability/buffs it had so it might be more valuable by a lot than destroying and drawing cards.. specially vs rogue.

    This card competes against Acidic Swamp Ooze and Harrison Jones. Acidic Swamp Ooze is better for the early game and has good vanilla stats while Harrison Jones has ok stats and can give you a large amount of card draw.

    Kobold Stickyfinger is better than those two cards if you are aiming at stealing a high value weapon to use for your own or counter your opponents plan, but It's a little too late for this card to shine in standard.

    If this card was around the time of baku and gen paladins with their Vinecleavers or Silver Swords it could of been playable. Same for other weapons that used to see more play such as Supercollider, Spectral Cutlass and of course the infamous Kingsbane.

    For the pirate tag, I don't think pirate decks would want to run this card since the stats are not good enough without the battlecry activating and it doesn't synergize with your weapons or pirates which is usually the point of a pirate deck.

    If we get a new expansion with high value legendary weapons, this card might see play, but for now I prefer running Harrison Jones for the potential card draw.

    More dragons? Yes please!

    this is a tech card, the problem is that it feels really bad to run it if your opponents doesn't run any weapon.

    Maybe if in the future pirate warrior will be a thing and they start to run this to have an edge in the mirror? Would be funny to see that

    At first I thought, this card is going to make Kingsbane unplayable but if this cards gets relevant at some point every player is going to play 2 copies of this, that include the Kingsbane Rogue and his opponent, and the opponent  has to play Kobold Stickyfinger first, so at some point in the end the Kingsbane Rogue gets the weapon back.

    The hate tech we needed back in Kobolds, but still excellent in wild. Could see play in standard regardless, just depends on what weapons in what classes become real threats. This is a bad vanilla otherwise.

    This text should belong to Harrison Jones thematically.

    Nice card, nice mechanic on a pirate tag. I wonder what other pirates we will get this expansion since there is that legendary weapon of warrior.

    Could see play if weapons get out of hand, but usually oozes are much better when there's nothing to counter.

    This is a nice effect. Depending on the meta, this card might be stronger than Acidic Swamp Ooze, since it does not trigger the deathrattle of weapons like Waggle Pick.

    Fairly powerful, and kinda funny how it fits right into pirate warrior, the deck this card is meant to counter.

    Probably too weak to use, even as a tech card. If your opponent is running weapons, then the probably have multiple weapons and won’t mind losing one to Stickyfinger. Maybe you can try to steal a Kingsbane or an Aluneth but that’s probably too optimistic.

    Jaina is best waifu. Always.

    Lovely effect for its cost and stats, but what will be your primary target? Just too situational to see serious play.

    Interesting card.  Great if the meta has lots of decks that run weapons. We'll have to wait and see. For wild it's very good and for arena is excellent. A good addition to  Pirate Warrior also.

    Coming of this card I foretold two expansions ago and now its here. Weapon classes takes direct hit and it's likely they will also run this card to steal their weapon back.

    Fun and interactive game.

    I love how experimental they are getting with this expansion. Things we've never seen before.
