Let's see how watch posts behave, because they don't have immediate impact and are just reactive, you depend on your opponent, so if he manage to play around the posts you are dead
Hmm, with all the poison cards so far i feel like this could work as a more defensive SSS until either SSS rotates next year or we get more poison cards printed. I think it might see some fringe play in standard untill it has more poison cards available to it.
In wild it will NEVER see play realistically. Kingsbane completely outclasses it in every way shape and form.
Obviously, cheating mana is something not to be taken lightly in Hearthstone; however, my issues with Death Speaker Blackthorn are more of a contextual one for DH. First, DHs draw through their deck very efficiently, and that has anti-synergy with Blackthorn, especially Vengeful Spirit. Second, Skull of Gul'dan has warped how DH plays since the release of the class that Soul DH has cut Soulciologist Malicia, another seven mana minion that creates a board, because it could block a turn six Skull. Considering both of these points, I'm not optimistic about Blackthorn's competitive viability, unless there are some bonkers deathrattle minions introduced for Blackthorn to summon.
Meaning Swinetusk is worse than SSS without buffs, and become progressively better but slower with 3 or more buffs. Obviously these numbers are wrong and slightly lower in reality, they are just the best case scenario in theory, in practice you will attack every turn and not wait until you have all the buffs attached.
There is no need to add more poisons to make this card viable imo, it's very powerful already. It can realistically do a lot more damage than SSS and is a much better removal tool when you need it, with the added durability and immunity granted by paralytic poison.
Well, they came out in different years, so SSS will rotate sooner, giving this a turn. But right now there are not enough poisons to make a dedicated deck out of this (pick your poison) But it already seems playable!

Tempo king! One must craft for non-burst rogue decks

This card will be in every Rogue deck. Definition of meta defining.

I mean, it is a 4 mana 3/3 that saves you 6 mana, I will be surprised if this doesn't become a staple in rogue decks for a long time.

Rokara and Guff are clearly the Wonder Twins of this supergroup.
I wonder if they know how much they suck compared to the rest.

The 2/2 is there because Blizzard already has the nerf planned :)

That's a lot of cost reduction, obtained fairly easily. I think this card will be hugely powerful.

It's interesting to see poison synergy. I don't know how strong this card will be, but I am excited to see where they go with poisons moving forward.

I like how Team 5 is moving away from super-specific card text. It really makes me appreciate the digital format.

Suddenly Paralytic Poison seems less bad.
But literally every weapon in the game is bad compared to SSS.
if weapon != SelfSharpeningSword then discard(weapon)
Get back to me after they knock a durability off of SSS.
