Steeldancer is nearly vanilla already, but tack on any 2+ drop and you've got a very strong tempo card. I'm a bit less excited about her in Rogue relative to Warrior, but she should be effective in both.
I see why the +Attack was nerfed on Corsair Cache now.
Looking forward to messing around with kingsbane and this
VERY GOOD CARD !
I think, it will be nerfed in the future, crazy tempo card for crazy tempo classes, for rogue not impressive for now, but for war imagine turn 4 - 2 4 drops or 4 plus 3 drop and you can clear an enemy minion or face for 4-3 damage. Even with 2 attack damage weapon it's fine, not so impressive, but fine. Only bad thing for this card - war has no room for it for now.
The Warrior/Rogue cards look good.
I don't see why people think it won't see play as long as Galakrond is still around.
First of all that guy got nerfed pretty hard, so it's not like he will automatically outclass every other archetype anymore. Secondly, why not consider this with a Galakrond package? Secrets aren't nearly as good as they used to be and Stealth is also more of an engine by itself instead of a legit archetype (for now).
I'm assuming Weapon Rogue will get at least some more synergy in this expansions and then you can just throw it into Galakrond and make use of this. Not to mention it has synergy with the Claw from Galakrond, even if you don't get to play it immediately.
Unless there's some extremely powerful weapon or synergy down the line for rogue, its not going to see play along with the galakrond package for the simple reason that both Waggle Pick and Hooked Scimitar isn't a viable choice in galakrond rogue. Also, its not exactly easy to play weapon and then get this down, and play your invoke cards all in the same 3-4-5 curve.
Weapons aren't exactly synergistic with Galakrond, the Nightmare anyway. When you play to get your discounted cards and a 5/2 weapon the last thing you need is another weapon taking up that discount slot. Needless to say, if you're holding up this card for that sweet 5/2 you're in for some major disappointment.
Well, there's still the flip side in a warrior deck at least. And there's still plenty of time for team5 to throw egg on my face as the reveals go down the line.
I don't think it needs extremely powerful synergy to be good, just a bit more.
I'm not really intending to hold on to this until Galakrond. If you just run another weapon (like Scimitar, which is far from bad, but just didn't have areason to be run so far) or weapon buffs (if necessary or plausible) you will occasionally get value out of it. If that doesn't happen you can keep it around til galakrond (since you have enough other stuff to do anyways) and if you draw it off him it's even better.
Interesting... Actually might work in quest rogue...
I periodically forget that that card exists. with a bit more burgle support it could actually be reasonable.
Seems balanced and heavily relies on good 3 mana weapons if you're going for tempo. I doubt ppl would run Fiery War Axe just for the sake of this card. All we can hope for is a good 2 drop when running Livewire Lance or Ancharrr
Unless ofc, they release more weapons for Rogue and Warrior
you don t need axe, just play your 1 mana sleeper guy.
I think Rogue's only (viable) weapons thus far are Waggle Pick and [Hearthstone Card (Hooke Scimitar) Not Found], and both of those enforce a tempo playstyle that simply doesn't exist; Galakrond is also probably just better unless we get some really strong tempo oriented cards, which is entirely possible. As for Warrior, I don't think this will see play in the Egg lists because it can only ever summon a 2 drop and there isn't really a slot or the card anyways. As for Pirate, they also run the 2 attack weapons, but some lists do run a copy or two of Arcanite Reaper, but I doubt this would be played just for that. So in conclusion, not excited about this card unless we see a lot of really cool weapons or weapon synergies, and considering we still have about more than 100 cards in the set, it looks like Warrior/Rogue will lean towards some weapon-y tempo deck.
good synergy with kingsbane
Pretty nice potential with the warrior weapons for tempo, especially following a cache on T2.
I wouldn’t even mind seeing Fiery Win Axe come back with this as a reason.
A tempo card for both rogue and warrior.
Its might actually make aggro rogue a force, with this curving nicely from Hooked Scimitar, assuming you can get the combo off with the weapon.
But more likely it will not see play in rogue until galakrond is off standard. As for warrior, I can't see space being made for this card outside of the current pirate warrior. Maybe we'll see more cards that will make this more powerful, but for now its just on the borderlines of being good.
It should work with the weapon from fully upgraded Galakrond too... Probably not enough, but it's something
Decent, but you're not gonna build a deck around her.
More like a fitting synergy into a future Weapon-based deck.
Also, Waggle Pick.
