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.
Well in wild it has some far reaching implications agains Twig of the World Tree and Kingsbane, but if any powerful deathrattle weapons become relevant in Standard, it also will find it way as a tech choice.
I’m a big fan of this card as a fellow Wild player! Mage drawing TOO MANY cards… “I’ll take that”. Seems good to me… Kings bane and burgle rogue stuff are still present on the wild ladder too! I like it and think it’s and ideal tech card.
Potentially very powerful, and if you get to equip the stolen weapon directly can be a very strong tempo swing. Also deactivates the powerful Deathrattles from weapons (Frostmourne, Kingsbane, Val'anyr, Waggle Pick). Note that most of these are Wild only, so for now I guess this is stronger in Wild. But to make it worthwhile we will need a very weapon-heavy meta. Right now I'm not feeling that. In Arena mostly it will be a 4/4 five drop.
Cool to see an effect many of us created via custom cards before. I wonder what the implementation is actually. Will it put the weapon in your hand or equip it?
I rated this straight 3 stars but if a weapon meta develops this is obviously going to be a major consideration. Overall I love this new mechanic, really ups the ante with regards to weapons.
It's pretty neat design wise. But I can't think of too many weapons that are being run right now aside from... Desert Spear, Mirage blade and Super Collider. Also, when it "steals" a weapon do you equip it? or is it added to your hand ?

A VERY powerful tech card against specific opponents, but its limited use means that it is solely meta dependent. It's about as limited as Eater of Secrets in that unless the decks it counters explicitly are in the meta, it won't see play.

Another good tech card - mainly for Wild at the moment... But with all those Galakrond Claws around -- might be fine even in Standard...
nice harrison replacement for someone who don't want extra draw but ooze still better early game

I always struggle against Kingsbane so I'm pretty happy to see a tech card it you are too tired of that kind of match.
And even you end up stealing half a [Hearthstone Card (Truesilver blade) Not Found] it is pretty good.
Really cool and unique battlecry. I like it! Even if it will not see play, i love to see some new interaction!
good tech card, but almost no new weapons this expansion so far

Nice to see a good anti-weapon tech
This card is better than most weapon removal cards i think but it's only a tech if the expansion is full of weapons
i like it. i don't know how useful this might actually be but i like it.
might be good in/against pirate warrior?
good card in weapon heavy metas in general
Interesting effect, but most decks will probably run harrison/ooze if they want to counter weapons.
well if meta will be on heavly weapon decks its autopick in many decks

Interesting tech card against weapon based decks.
Theres no standard deck (to my knowledge) that depends heavily on a weapon in both standard or wild, and kingsbane is already dead.
Not that good in arena, but wonderful when it works.
