So many powerful cards in this expansion!!!
4/2 with equipping 2 mana or 3 mana weapon on curve, very good card but I don't know where this card fits in though. Perhaps any class can make it work with big weapons too.
This is pretty damn cool. Introduces a lot of deckbuilding options (do I want it on curve? Do I want a specific big weapon recycled?)
Could also make Pirate Warrior more viable by reequipping Ancharr to continouusly draw more Pirates
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
really cool mechanic. 3 legendary weapons in the deck is a good thing
I can see this having a time to shine... just don't think it's now.
This is what Rummaging Kobold should have been in the first place.
So that's why Kobold Stickyfinger got printed.

Damn, I like those new experimentations with card text.

i don't see a weapon that's too strong to reequip in standard right now.
So Rummaging Kobold but much faster and with pirate synergy.
Yes this will see play, decent stats and great effect for classes who run weapons.
Seems great for Quest Warrior - makes it easy to gain tempo and attack at the same time.
This is just a cool card and it makes Rummaging Kobold look like trash. Its got a good tribe, it has a reasonable statline for its effect. This card isn't good in every class but its great in the classes its good in.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
Surprised it’s neutral and not a class card instead. Lots of tempo with some weapons too, gonna definitely be run in any aggressive deck that uses weapons
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Not really, because both have different purposes. For example Jade shaman would rather use the Kobold for the Battlecry on Jade claw or Pally with Rallying Blade. But Classes with no battlecry weapon tend to use this card. They have different purposes.
Very good in any deck that runs a weapon you either want to swing with again or (if a meta ever revolves around it) gives you your weapon back after it'd been destroyed.
Cool effect, insane that it's a rare and not legendary.
Rage quitting: the best way to ensure your opponent knows they beat a giant baby.
Seemed strong during the stream. Aggro Warrior /Rogue might use this card.
It looks a bit awkward in rogue, since you don't want the hero power dagger. Hunter and Pally might find some mileage though.
Great to equip destroyed legendary weapons! This expansion is nuts!
wonder if there is enough good weapons in pirate warrior for this
This is crazy good! Getting one of your good weapons back without even paying any mana for it is really good value! But you need to be careful with the weapons you play. The 1/2 invoke Galakrond weapon is terrible for this. But most weapons are either good or great. This card will see play in Pirate Warrior but Quest Warrior also benefits from it.
"True mastery takes dedication."
Better than Rummaging Kobold in every deck other than in wild jade quest shaman for the double Jade Claws, arguably.
Excellent point ;)
Paladin and Hunter might indeed be better. Aggro Pally, it's been awhile
It will be good to give a fancy farewell before Spectral Cutlass leaves standard with this.
I really can't like a pirate this much.
Oh and two extra Stars' Fury from Vereesa Windrunner might be good if i can make it work.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Obviously good with Ancharr, but it means Pirate Galakrond might not be a thing.
Cute imitation of Scrooge McDuck.
Woecleaver and Kingsbane potential.
Does this win the bingo spot for "class card in disguise"?
I don't see this being used in any classes but warrior. You could do it in paladin with perhaps Sword of Justice, or maybe Truesilver Champion (although I am not sure that will be necessary with the new paladin card, Lightforged Zealot). But I am not sure paladin has enough weapons for that to be consistent.
Rogue definitely doesn't want this, if you are playing this in a rogue deck it means you have either come to terms with the fact that this basically prevents you from using your hero power, and decided it was worth it anyway, or you completely missed that synergy.
There are also the other classes in wild that got legendary weapons back in KaC, but the only ones that got break-able weapons are Druid, which I guess you could make something happen, but I am not sure what. Hunter, but you don't want to play minions in that deck. Paladin okay, this actually seems pretty powerful, if you can get multiple of these going at once it will be crazy, and it doesn't even seem that slow because all you have to do is play the weapon once, and then the other two guys can come out at any point in the game, even if this deck isn't good, it will certainly be fun for some paladin players. Rogue but we already covered that with the hero power and all this wouldn't be even a little bit consistent. Shaman but this weapon is just bad, getting extra copies of a bad card doesn't always make it better. And warrior, but recruiting doesn't always work well with small battlecry minions such as this.
So all in all, a very powerful warrior card, but it doesn't work with the other classes, perhaps paladin, but at least for standard this will mainly be a warrior card.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Yeah there's been a lot this expansion.
definitely good for pirate war..wonder if it keeps the stats of the destroyed weapon..if it does it would be insane..
I'm not saying Rummaging Kobold doesn't have a purpose, but its so much worse in terms of stats and efficiency overall that even in the narrow cases you might play Kobold you wouldn't, where even if its not getting the full value (ie battlecry) of a weapon you might still play Hoard Pillager, and in a bunch of other different cases Hoard Pillager is soooooo much better its sad.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
I very much agree. There's no reason to run the Kobold anymore, unless for some reason you need a weapon's Battlecry
definitely a strong card getting more [Hearthstone Card (waggle's pick) Not Found] or [Hearthstone Card (ancharrrs) Not Found] seem like a good idea, it's also a pirate so there are synergies with this.. you might not want to hero power as rogue to not get a 1/2.
How is the interaction with Kingsbane? Is it like Rummaging Kobold who gave you a 1/3 Weapon, or is it your own, giant blade? Or is it a copy?
At least 1 copy of this card will make it into SMOrc Pirate Warrior. Getting Ancharrr is amazing value, but even cards like Fiery War Axe and Arcanite Reaper are very strong. It's weak for its stats but the effect is obviously very strong. The Pirate tag makes this card even better and splashable in many Pirate decks.
The card seems nice, equipping a weapon that you used means that you are equipping a weapon that you wanted to have in your deck, the fact that is a pirate is a plus, because the warrior legendary weapon can draw this.
I think it will be played as a 1of in pirate warrior
There are some good weapons out there that would benefit from this. Plus it's anti-tech tech (love it!) so say in wild you play your Skull of the Man'ari, opponent drops an ooze to destroy it, but then you have this to bring it back? Who's going to run two weapon removals? Nobody, that's who.
I love the artwork.
This ain't no place for a hero
Pretty interesting card. This can be so strong in the right deck or in some aggressive like wild Pirate Warior.
Very spooky in Pirate Warrior
quest warrior approves this
nice addition
Maybe in super aggressive pirate warrior with the new weapon for a ton of card draw?
Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!
I already hate this guy... Seeing this equipping an Arcanite Reaper in the hands of a pirate warrior is NOT going to be fun...
Yeah, seems just a liiiiiitle too powerful. Pirate Warrior might actually not suck completely.
While this card is very powerful, it could also help some big weapons that don't get used a lot see some play like Gladiator's Longbow.
More dragons? Yes please!
Since this equips the weapon you should consider that you can attack as soon as you play it as well as her stats already there it seems great in warrior maybe hunter and perhaps the old legendary weapons like the skull.
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
This will want you to use big weapons. And warrior/rogue has alot of good weapons. It will see play for sure. Mostly in wild.
I liked the art XD it's a really good card, many possibilities.
You can even use this to get back only your legendary weapon. Very good.
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
Seems interesting. Very hard to play on curve for full value, but it has the potential to be powerful. Maybe worth playing with expensive weapons.
Side thinking, I wonder if equipping Kingsbane keep its buffs?
This card fits perfectly into Pirate Warrior. This card is strictly better than Rummaging Kobold, since it equips the weapon for free.
Nice card! Very weak in rogue. Weak in classes with no weapons (in standard), but very strong in warrior, hunter, pally or even shaman!
Oooo Shiny!
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Another great pirate! It might be a bit low on stats for a fast deck like pirate warrior but if its battlecry brings you Ancharrr or an Arcanite Reaper it's worth to play for sure! Сan't wait to see if it will work in practice!
It’s a Pirate with all the synergies that brings. It equips you a weapon for free. It’s a fantastic card for any Pirate deck and absolute trash for anyone else.
Jaina is best waifu. Always.
Could be used in many decks with strong weapons! Especially warrior or paladin, but maybe even shaman if you run Doomhammer. This could show up unexpected in many different archetypes, maybe even in wild with the legendary KnC weapons.
Crazy strong in pirate warrior. Some potential in other decks with expensive weapons like paladin.
Ancharrr and this card are the reasons why you can build a viable full of pirates deck.
Aggro pirate warrior in the past lost as soon as it lost board, because it usualy was in top deck by then. Sir finley was used to avoid that, with warlock hero power.
Now imagine if pirate warrior never ran out of cards in hand? It means possible tier 1 deck that's what.
Very good card with a really nice effect. Equipping one of your destroyed weapons definitely can give a lot of value.
I saw this played by streamersafter the reveals, and this is stupidly good. Even if this has horrendous stats, the "tutoring" effect is just incredible. I know it's to soon to say pirate warrior is gonna be a thing, but it looked reaaaaaly scary when I saw this replay Anchaar. Infinite draw. I'm a wild player and I'm sweating when I think about this card.
Elders Scrolls : Legends / Runeterra
Excellent card! Great for pirate Warrior and Rogue Decks with Spectral Cutlass.
Seems to best fit in warrior with the new legendary weapon.
Pirate warrior is getting stronger and stronger. Rogue application seems significantly less interesting.
Fun and interactive game.
OMG totally forgot about that card. I think this will be much more stronger since it has better stas + the weapon enters in play + pirate tag.
not so good in rogue bcs of the hero power but definitely will see play in warrior pirate deck
I can't wait for rogues to play this and get their 1/2 back.
Has very good potential with cards such as Woecleaver in wild and both Ancharr and Truesilver champion in standard.
I think this card found his home in Bomb Warrior. I used to run Seaforium Bomber, but replaced her with Hoard Pillager, and it's much better.
Is bomb warrior working in the current meta.??
i love the card in my pirate warrior deck.
Imagine playing Pirate Warrior in standard by the end of 2019?
I think it's good. Bombs screw with Highlander decks, and you can put in defensive cards if you face a lot of Face Hunter for example. Deathwing, Mad Aspect is also a very good card.
