It depends on how the deck is built.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Feels like with the new TGT cards if you don't have a ton of AOE removal you are SOL.
Need that too but two aren't as necessary.
Old lists used Shield Block to handle the hyperaggro meta for pre-TGT. The game is a bit slower now thanks to dragons so you can sub out the blocks.
Plus you're not running shield slams, which is what blocks were used with.
Good mage!

Sure glad I decided to finish some quests today.
Now the question is, keep or dust?

Keep! He'll be real good in a pirate deck at some point.
If you need any legendaries now, dust and craft. If not, just keep it for the future.
Dust!
I can't see how that card could work, generally pirates doesn't live enough to make use of the ability

I got a poisoned blade in my last pack. TGT collection completed.
Seriously though, I feel like if the card was 3 mana, it would actually be okay. At 4 mana...
Cards that synergize with this weapon:
buccaneer
autobarber
deadly poison
sword oil
captain greenskin
hero power
every inspire card
It is just a shame it is a really bad card on its own. I think if it were 3 mana, comboing it with deadly poison might just make it good enough. But at 4 mana, you're just making a weaker assassin's blade that takes 2 cards.
On the other hand, I do kind of want to try the card out just to see how big I can make the weapon.
edit:
Got it up to 16 attack against an AI opponent.

I just wanna laugh at this echo mage who plays harrison jones, who got a full hit on a deadly poisoned dagger and got him duplicated, and I still beat him.

Jousts are so goddamn bad. Everytime I see them tie I just wonder what they were thinking with that interaction. The player activating the Joust has a disadvantage to begin with.

It doesn't help that the cards with joust are worse than cards without joust either, when the joust fails (most of the time). The incentive to use them outside arena is very questionable, unless you like running inferior cards for some reason.

I've given Gadgetzan Jouster all the tries it deserves and it's just a worst zombie chow. Healing Wave is still probably worth running though. Don't think it's worth running a maybe better card unless you are doing a heavy control deck
Can't blame him. Such a stupid deck to play against.

I think gadgetzan jouster could replace a zombie chow if you don't have all of naxx.
Also, I kinda think that while zombie chow is best early game, jouster is a lot better later in the game where zombie chow might be unplayable.
I think future joust cards could be slightly stronger though. They probably didn't want to make the first couple too good just in case.

I gotta confess something.
Like... normally the annoying thing with secrets is all the anxiety about wtf the secret does. Well, when there's 4 or 5 of them on the board... you can plan out what's going to happen exactly, and if you can't deal with it then oh well. But I feel like >50% of the time I can pull off a good counter-move on the turn after he drops the Mad Hatter.
The only card that really makes me angry there is Divine Favor. Oh, I just dealt with your board super efficiently? I guess I get punished by letting you draw 5 cards for 3 mana. Seems legit.
Then again, the game I played just now the guy drew 5 cards with Divine Favor and vomitted Knife Juggler, Abusive, and double Leper Gnome onto the board. Then I Lightbombed so I guess it evened out.
I actually like playing against Mysterious Challenger paladin.

The only good joust card is the Shaman healing one
Even if you lose you still get 7 HP
I think so. That's not a bad approach to card game design. Certainly better than making value dudes like Mad Scientist, Shredder or Boom.

What is Blizzard's thinking behind Sideshow Spelleater? I mean, honestly, what's the concept here?
Just throwing random unintuitive ideas out there and hoping someone is creative enough to build a deck out of it?
Probably, doesn't even work on adventure bosses but that would break some of them
Wasn't he the one who pioneered the aggro Paladin Hobgoblin?

I predicted a card like this before it was revealed based on the theme of the expansion and justicar trueheart. Like many cards in Hearthstone it is normally a bad card, but under the right conditions it can be a strong swing card.

I was thinking of trying it in a warlock deck as an optional endgame switch. If all you see are Justicar decks, I guess this is the "soft" counter.

Now that I think about it Sideshow Spelleater was probably made for YouTube videos

The pro players and the vocal part of the community responsible for creating, naming and popularising decks are playing on PC, though.
What do 5+ secrets look like on the mobile versions?
I laughed.

This would be so much cooler if it was "swap her powers with your opponent".
You could seriously screw over some desks. Handlock without card draw? Hunter without skillshot? Oil Rogue without easy weapons?

This deck sounds interesting and I don't had a rogue deck that I like to play
maybe isn't good enough for constructed, but I want to test it
Sadly, I don't had gallywix, anubarak, and beneath the grounds

thanks anyway
This might sound weird - but does anyone prefer watching Heartstone to playing it?
For someone who doesn't spend a lot of money on it I honestly just prefer seeing other people who have the means to spend a lot of money, get access to all the cards, and play some crazy decks. I really don't have that much variety in cards so the game isn't as interesting for me to actually play.

That's why you play arena.

LMAO at this RNG
Turn 3 spellslinger gave me innervate, turn 4 I portaled into boom which was perfect synergy. Disgusting.
It's not even good anyway it dies to BGH
pretty much.....playing it just ends in frustration so i tend to observe others.
Misdirection will not trigger if there are no minions on the board and the opposing hero attacks into the secret.
