Strategy
This minion has rather poor stats, but its Battlecry allows you to reuse an old weapon while avoiding paying extra mana to equip it, giving aggressive Warrior decks more chances to push out damage. To get the most out of this card, it's best to run weapons with high stats or has effects that activate on attack or a Deathrattle. Ancharrr is an obvious choice weapon, as are other weapons like 
Livewire Lance, 
Wrenchcalibur, and 
Arcanite Reaper.
Other classes can use Hoard Pillager to reequip key weapons of their own. Shamans can use it for extra use of 
The Fist of Ra-den or 
The Runespear. Druids can get an extra Twig of the World Tree to refresh their mana. Paladins can swing with extra Truesilver Champions or the Ashbringer. Every class can use it for another 
Atiesh.
Hoard Pillager should not be used in Rogue, do to the large chance of reequipping a Wicked Knife.
