Obviously isn't for every deck, since not all would run so many weapons, but could work well for the right deck.

I guess it could do something against Warriors in a Control deck... Which is pretty much "nothing when it enters" as far as Control is concerned.

More aggressive decks? Maybe. If it was more consistent, it could do a thing but I would be counting my lucky stars if I managed to go t1 enabler, t2 that, t3 weapon with any relevant consistency.

You're not forced to play Sword Gobbler

. It's a meat shield option aimed at midrange weapon heroes that could also form part of the late-game offensive part.

Please don't read too much into it being in the Control archetype section.

"Forced to play" as in "the best possible option". If I wanted a card that secures me the early-game, I would not want it to be this card. Similarly, if I wanted late-game power to turn the corner, a 2cc 4/4 isn't what I'm looking for.

But again, if I can consistently play this as a turn 2 3/4, yeah I'll do that and try to kill people on turn 5.

And suddenly Frying pan might be useful. This is the best news

Yeah, but that wouldn't be a Control deck then.

Did you consider Dead Man's Breach

as part of Control late-game win-con with these dudes? 2cc for each 4/4 hasted ally ...

It's already useful.

Is it too early to be calling frying pan OP due to new expansion, I feel I have enough information.

@Gondorian - I have question. As I understand it, when I summon a new location the old one is put below and not active anymore. Is it possible to summon same location as currently active, but I currently don't control it. Eg: enemy has Arthyle's Pass and I don't want to spend 4SE to take control, am I able to cast it?

You know what they say ...

Where there's smoke, there's fire ...

(And where there's fire, you can use a frying pan ..)

Yes, you can do that. If it's not in the rules explanation, I'll fix it up to confirm that.

EDIT: Yes, I see it was not explicitly said you could do that, so I added it for clarity.
