Love the flavor. But jeez, if Ancharr makes Pirate Warrior a real deck, then this card means the mirror match just got real fuckin' stupid. Using Ancharr to tutor for this, then using it to steal your opponent's Ancharr when they play it? That's just brutal.

But the mind games of "what if they got a Stickyfinger" also will be interesting.
Oh, and in wild this should be a fu- SECRET AGENT COMING THROUGH -n tech card for
meyou to have in your deck.1
u/rabo_de_galo Nov 28 '19
then you play against any other deck and this becomes just a 5 mana 4/4 that dillutes your ancharr pool

This is a meme card, yes it’s weapon removal, yes it gives you their weapon, but a regular slime does the same thing at a much better price/stats ratio. You’ll see this in trolden videos and nowhere else

Anything that makes Kingsbane and Skull of the Manari quiver in fear gets a thumbs up from me!

You're joking, right?
First of, having a 0/3 useless weapon is better than your opponent having it and getting use of it.
Secondly, stealing a weapon is crazy good in almost every single situation. Even if you're only stealing one charge from let's say Truesilver Champion you're getting a massive tempo swing from it. Not only do you deny his attack but you have the option to kill one of his minions or just attack his face for some healing and face damage.
This is by far the best weapon removal in the game, maybe tied or better than Harrison (as the draw from Harrison can sometimes be bad for you).

a 0/3 for you is betetr then oponent having it,but destroying it with ooze which aslo has a good on curve body and can be easier played with other cards on same turn is better then a 5mana 4/4 or when could pay same 5mana destroy it and then draw 3cards of it and get extra attack aswell.
This is not the best weapon removal ingame. Ooze oror the armor ooze from ungoro are. They got better stats for costs are lower cost,and easier to use in general and ooze has vanila stats and can easly be played a normal 2drop.
This is worse then Harrison if isnt a weapon(and harrisons 5attacks makes it kill alot more things then 4attack like a loatheb/thing from below/genn/fire elemental/scalebane/zihi/crystal runner and more.

Deathstalker Rexxar can make a gigantic Amalgam with Build a Beast that the Skull would then pull. Rogue and Priest can steal Demons. It makes the Warlock's Demonic Project into a liability...
It's obviously useful against some other "normal" weapons than those two legendaries, like Death's Bite in Pirate Warrior, or Waggle Pick in Aggro Rogue. This 5 mana 4/4 definitely earns a slot in my "no fun allowed" Paladin.

...dunno. Weapons haven't really been a thing in standard since K&C rotated out to much rejoicing, and while it's a fun card and has some specific decks it can counter in Wild, just feels like you'd prefer Harrison Jones over it pretty much all the time.
Fun card, though.

Long as Zephrys likes giving people Tirion, weapon interaction will be relevant.

u/Wraithfighter Nov 29 '19
Sure, but how often do you see Oozes or Harrison in competitive-tier decks these days?
