With cursed blade leaving standard and increased weapon synergy as of recently he may actually become viable
This card is seriously under valued. He’s a decent body and his ability is pretty good too. My most memorable moment using his was when I got a poisoned blade with control warrior. Dropped Justicar then every time I’d increase my armor, my weapon got much more powerful.
I first thought it was one of the worst class Legendary from this extension, but after thinking about it its actually a pretty good card.
Basically in standard you have 20 weapons that you can get.
1 is cursed blade and can make you loose the game.
3 of them have only one attack. 3 of them are 2/2, so they can deal 4 damage in 2 turns.
The 13 others have 3 attack or more or many charges (Doomhammer and charged Hammer).
So 16/20 weapons can ensure you to deal at least 4 damages.
So the card offers great value because it gives you a 6/5 body + 4 damage at least.
In most cases it’s much better than a fire Elemental.
Concerning cursed blade if you’re playing Warrior you usually try to get very high in health to use weapons to clean the board.
It’s a risk you know when you’ll play this card. But then do you play gorehowl when you’re very low on health?…
So in my opinion a great card with 4/20 chances to be only average.
Battlecry: Equip cursed blade kappa
OH BOY! Cursed Blade, here I come! 😀
Assuming this is Random weapon (from all classes) like Blingtron, if its at least a medium tier weapon, say an assassin’s blade, truesilver champion, at least 4 att 2 durability, in a deck that has some weapon synergy, which hasn’t really materialized, (but we did just get tons of material from the pirates just released), i think its pretty good value. A bit slow, but the weapon might clear some midrange, or damaged minion from the board. Obviously an arcanite reaper, twilights hammer, gorehowl, gladiator’s longbow are serious value in any situation. That said, outside of pirate decks, probably wont see much play.
Cursed blade smOrc
It would be docent 6 drop. As 4 7 mana hes too weak to see actually any play probably.
Clearly a buff to monkey.
