Overhyped in my opinion. Yes it's strong, yes it'll be played in every Highlander deck - but it won't be the centrepiece of those decks. It's no Zephrys, it's not going to make you play Highlander despite no other Highlander cards. It's just a late-game value card that will make you a big board in one turn, much like several other cards we already have right now (King Phaoris being the immediate example). Nothing to get overly excited about.
People are a little too down on this card I feel. Don't get me wrong, it's not an incredible card - but it's solid. Probably shouldn't be legendary, but still.
A major problem with Cyclone decks lately (Flamewaker shenanigans notwithstanding) is they have a nasty tendency to play 10 cards in a turn and not really accomplish much. This is a force multiplier card - those 10 cards can actually get something meaningful done when this is in play.
Of course, the major downside of the card is the same - it's a force MULTIPLIER, meaning you're going to need it alongside the plays you were making in the first place. Given mana is the major limiting factor of a Cyclone turn, you're kinda relying on it sticking to actually do much - you can play it before a combo, sure, but that's 3 mana spent on things that aren't spells, making your turn weaker before the 5/5s come in.
Overall, it's a medium card I feel. It's not going to make Cyclone strong, but if people are playing Cyclone, they'll play this.
Wait, if Transmogrifier is on board and you draw a spell with Book of Specters, will it discard or do you just have consistent "Draw 3 random legendaries"?
Galakron doesn’t count. Rogue has 3 already aswell.
It would have been insane if Blizz gave us 5 Legendary cards for free (6 with sathovarr) without any compensation. So they just added a couple more legendarys to the set.
For standard there likely isn't going to be enough pirate synergy to make this weapon work. Maybe in a pirate tempo hybrid that runs Galakrond, the Unbreakable, but the current pool of pirate minions may not be enough to justify it.
Should be great for Arena and Wild, decent stats for such a powerful effect and it isn't too unlikely to draft a couple pirates.
Perhaps this is a hint of a future pirate themed expansion?

waste of a good and playable legendary, disappointing.

Every Evil class will have three Legendaries, since the 5 Galakronds are going to be given for free
Warrior Legendary Weapon Reveal - Ancharrr

Pirate Warrior never had sufficient card draw, so this might make it viable again.
New Warrior Weapon - Ancharrr
I am in charge now!...oh wait... Yaharrr! Pirate warrior gets a draw weapon? I guess it's good, but in standard it's crap.
Warrior Legendary Weapon Reveal - Ancharrr
