Totally fine card in a world where Waggle Pick doesn't exist. But Waggle Pick exists.
Why not both?
Unless they added a new rule that says you can only run 2 weapons per deck?
"Cute" snark aside, I think you could maybe play 1 copy of this with the two picks to flesh out Raiding Party. But you're 100% playing 2x Pick first.
I just dislike the close minded approach to evaluating cards, "SI:7 exists, so every other 3-drop forever is unplayable," "Waggle Pick exists, so you are banned from playing another weapon." Why not both? do you remember old Pirate Warrior? You were definitely running 4 weapons in that deck and going face. This weapon doesn't even compete in the same mana slot, and Rogue has other cards that have synergy with weapons.
This from the guy who literally posted this yesterday?
Remember, this is "add 3 random cards to your hand." When have those been super strong? You want to draw cards you actually and specifically put into your deck, not random cards.
edit:
Also, keep in mind what other 3-drops this competes with and ask yourself how the hell this would fit into a Hunter deck (not listing the unplayed 3-drops):
You could pretty reasonably build a deck where this effect is only a net positive for you. I don't think that's necessarily worth foregoing things like Conjurer's Calling or Ray of Frost.
There are 13 combo cards in Standard as of now. Combo cards on average are 3 mana (3x 2mana, 7x 3mana, 1x a 4, 5 and 6mana). 4 of them are spells and 2 are weapons. Rest is minions.
So on average you can generate 1 cards at 5mana. On 8 mana you can generate 2.
With prep and coin this can be much better.
With a shark on board these play get to be pretty sweet btw.
I am excited about this card and will try it for sure.
There will definitely be people playing it safe with only board clears and other non-targetable spells in their deck, and those who only play Pyroblasts and stuff for the ultimate casino time.

It's an interesting idea, but it doesn't look particularly strong unless we have extra Totem synergy in this set. We only have 4 Shaman cards left (or technically 3 since the card revealed in 2 minutes is absolutely going to be a Shaman card).
Wild Even Shaman: T1 Hero Power, T2 Totem Golem, T3 Hero Power or other totem, T4 Splitting Axe ... voila, Thing from Below already at 0 cost. This can be nuts.
[Hearthstone Card (CardID or Name) Not Found]Quote From CovenantKevlar
Don’t foget that Nightmare Amalgam is also a totem! You can play him on 3 and assuming he doesn’t get removed Turn 4 Equip the 3/2 Splitting Axe, attack and summon a copy of him! That to me is enough value
I agree... but if you don’t pull that off the card is weak otherwise.
Since my last post, I have buffed Sense of Spirit from 7 mana to 6. Originally it was 6, but it was nerfed to 7 when people called it out as Ectomancy powercreep and it should be 7. After some chat on Discord though, I changed it back to 6.
The Quest Reward from Legend of the Obelisks has also now been changed, so it's not as complicated. People also mentioned that the Hero Power should be a new effect, and not just a strict upgrade of the base Hero Power.

This is that except cheaper and you can run two of them.
Exactly. There will be a thread calling for this to be nerfed after some lucky Rogue drops this on 10-mana and goes Cold Blood, Cold Blood, Evisc, Defias, Coin, Edwin, having only started with two of those cards in hand.
Uldum Mage Card Reveal - Tortollan Pilgrim
Highlander support. Im always for highlander support

Uldum Mage Card Reveal - Tortollan Pilgrim
A build-around that can be *really* sweet!!
New Mage Minion - Tortollan Pilgrim
DAAAAMN.
8-mana "Cast Flamestrike and summon a 5/5."
I hope control mage gets more support!
New Mage Minion - Tortollan Pilgrim
Since everyone missed Tortollan Primalist. Of course, this is better since it has slightly better stats and will only pick a spell from your own deck.
Uldum Mage Card Reveal - Tortollan Pilgrim
It copies the card
New Mage Minion - Tortollan Pilgrim
Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron, Flamestrike,Blizzard and any secret...
It sames good for a control Mage.
Uldum Mage Card Reveal - Tortollan Pilgrim
Sick tool for Control Mage.
Thins out your deck and allows you to (probably) cast something on the line of Flamestrike while getting a 5/5.
Nice tempo play.
EDIT: whoopsie doodle. I guess someone misread the card. My apologies fellas

Control Mage with AoE spells and even Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron is the first thing i think of when I see this card
Uldum Rogue Card Reveals - Hooked Scimitar & Whirlkick Master
Both cards are so good. So is the art.

"If you can't beat them, join them!!"
As I said, this is what I plan to do --> "At least my Mage isn`t golden yet. Soon I will change this..."
New Rogue Minion - Whirlkick Master
This card is too cute, IMO.
1) Is rogue really searching for more value?
2) Are you really going to play a 2-mana for more value?
New Shaman Weapon - Splitting Axe
Yeah - Definitely legitimate in wild.

I don’t see this making the cut in standard.
