Strategy[]
This weapon is marginally stronger than most 1-mana weapons at the cost of high self-damage. In aggressive decks, the self-damage is not a huge drawback for the 1 extra Attack it has, which is very effective on the first few turns of the game. Bloodclaw is an option for early trades focused on specific targets at the cost of 5 health. 
Seal of Light is a great follow up. Healing 4 damage points, giving +2 extra damage for powerful early strikes.
Time Out! can be used before Bloodclaw for a double damage mitigation, plus preventing you from further damage.
The early self-damage it deals aids in activating healing-based synergy cards like 
Lesser Pearl Spellstone and Zandalari Templar activate earlier.
Be careful with an active 
Brann Bronzebeard. Bloodclaw's damage is a Battlecry, and will be increased by related effects.
