Brazilian Tournament Reveals New Rogue Weapon
by JR Cook - 9 years ago show comments
Latin American tournament Copa America revealed an exclusive Rogue Weapon on their twitch stream, live from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
I know the image above is actually the Portuguese version, but the card translates to something like this:
Poisoned Blade:
Your Hero Power gives this weapon +1 attack instead of replacing it.
Which sadly, doesn’t seem exciting at all, I’m really hoping my Portuguese is just playing tricks on me.
EDIT: The Spanish Stream revealed the same card, and confirmed my translation. Although we await an official translation, the english version should look something like this:

isnt this much like the rogue hero power from an early build where the weapon grew each time the hero power was activated? I think I am remembering it correctly. I find it rather interesting that some of the “too powerful to just be the hero power” abilities are now making their way onto cards.
I am also rather curious as to how this might work with something like priest, since they could copy the card from the deck and be able to play the dagger.
Not sure how this would look with other classes getting it out of Blingtron or other copy effects. If you look closely, this is basically Inspire: Gain +1 Attack. They just have different wording because the Rogue hero power would replace the weapon. Perhaps it would work as an inspire effect for the other cards.
good point, though THAT makes it interesting that it might actually be a better card for a class OTHER than Rogue since they would get their hero power plus the boost where the Rogue would get JUST the boost when they triggered their hero power.
might make some sense though since it would not be nearly as reliable to get it and even less so if Rogues were not playing it against you in a matchup (or you were not playing against a rogue period)
Why doesn’t this seem exciting? I don’t play rogue mind you, but I think modifying hero powers is a great concept.
