funny though, the Kingsbane player can add this card to his deck too. So, If your [Hearthstone Card (kingsban) Not Found]e is stolen, just steal again with this card..
Interesting. If it equips the weapon after stealing, it would be really good especially with weapons like Twig of the World Tree. I think Blizzard is fully expecting the new Warrior weapon to be playable and thus printed a tech against it in the same expansion.

Not a bad tech card, but I don't think this is better than Harrison Jones. It probably won't see play unless there are a lot of weapons, and even then, there are cheaper options (dust wise) and better tech cards.
Stealing cards isn't something we see a lot of, which makes this a pretty cool card, but I am not sure how good it will actually be.
I don't get how the average rating for this is so high. I'm not saying the card is bad for what it does, but what it does is so very specific you can't just play it in every deck. In fact you can't just play it in any old meta. Its super specific, and unlike a card like Harrison Jones, which can be combo'd with a card like Weapons Project or Plague of Madness this card can't, and has a worse base statline. Yes, it finally solves that Kingsbane problem in wild, but that doesn't make this TECH card a nearly 4 star card.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
I won't dismiss this card yet. Yes, it is worse than harrison jones because most of the time, if you have a weapon tech in your deck, you will have a game plan that prefers to draw cards rather than steal a weapon (and currently there aren't many weapons worthy of stealing)
However, since warrior recieved a new legendary weapon, we might come to see other legendary weapons, some really wort being stolen.
This card being good or bad really depends on other good weapons being printed, Kobolts and Katacombs style.
Nice tech card against basically any weapon. People were crying for this since before the kingsbane nerf.

As an unlucky player who never opened Harrison Jones in a classic pack despite playing since naxx this 400 dust version actually appeals to me as a way to actually include high impact weapon removal in my deck..
Btw this card is also a pirate so it can be searched for in warrior and rogue with Ancharrr and Raiding Party so if the meta is weapon heavy the decks that run the weapons also can fetch their weapons back (as long as they have enough durability to actually be able to take it back).
stealing a weapon is destroying it for your opponent without triggering deathrattles, "drawing the weapon", then playing the weapon with as much durability/buffs it had so it might be more valuable by a lot than destroying and drawing cards.. specially vs rogue.

What kingsbane problem in wild? Kingsbane is long dead since the nerf of leeching poison.

Leap of Faith...
Very interesting effect! First of a time!
this card kills kingsbane. doesnt even matter if the rogue runs it. just steal the last durability and shuffle it into your deck, never play it again.

Well it's over
Cool balanced tech
I demand to unerf [Hearthstone Card (Lifeleech) Not Found]! Is it possible, Mr. Blizzard?
This is a major contender for Harrison Jones in control mirrorswhere staving off fatigue is critical.
I'm not sure if harrison isnt still better than this card. But funny effect, definitelly playable in standard

While there are no good weapons in standard its hard justify running this card, can be good tempo in rogue mirrors and maybe pirate warrior too idk.
If it isn't Mister steal your girl Ancharrr

As a rogue player I do already hate this one. Looks playable enough, and it will also destroy the poor Spectral Cutlass players.
Late to the game, but it will still be useful if something as ugly as Kingsbane rears its head in the future.
If you have the time, you should totally check out our weekly Hearthstone card design competitions! :D

A tech card that waited way too long to be released.

So cool!
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
