How to get
Prior Year of the Gryphon's rotation on March 30, 2021:
- Two copies of Assassin's Blade were a reward for raising a rogue to level 2.
- Two Golden copies of Assassin's Blade were a reward for raising a rogue to levels 32 and 34.
Core set
Two copies of regular Assassin's Blade are obtained for raising rogue to level ?.
Two copies of golden Assassin's Blade (Core) are obtained for winning 100 games as rogue.
Assassin's Blade (Core) is uncraftable and cannot be crafted or disenchanted.
Strategy
This weapon has the highest Durability of all Rogue weapons (aside from while 
Self-Sharpening Sword) having enough Attack to make good use over time, as long it doesn't get removed prematurely. This weapon is a great target for weapon buffs like Deadly Poison and gives those cards a ton of value.
However, while efficient, its high cost can prove cumbersome. The aforementioned Self-Sharpening Sword can be considered instead, as it costs 2 less mana, and benefits even more from weapon-buffing effects like Captain Greenskin or Doctor Krastinov.
Lore
Assassin's Blade is a one-handed dagger dropped from mobs in Shadowfang Keep. However, this weapon does not match that weapon's appearance, and likely simply references the obvious, a blade used by assassins or rogues.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Blood of Gladiators" series, for the card Emerald Ripper.
- The weapon portrayed in the card art is a dagger called Emerald Ripper from World of Warcraft. It is dropped by
Moroes in Karazhan.
