This card is actually good being a 4 mana 2/4 deal 2 damage, but with all of these buff cards this card is ridiculously good.
A deck built around it its gonna be the best use, doesn´t has too much use alone more than dealing 2 damage, however, seems pretty usefull in decks that relly on buff and that kind of things.
However a question, does it counts the board buffs like Raid Leader or Stormwind Champion?
I don't think it would be affected by board buffs, it's more going to work toward new card such as Trogg Beastrager Shaky Zipgunner Grimestreet Smuggler
It could be a really strong card for control hunter.
Made a deck with it think it could do pretty good when X-pack comes out http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/666391-gadgetzan-hunter
More like mini North Sea Kraken :P
So this is one of the card that's suppose to interact with the buffing the hand effects...considering the fact that keeper of the grove was quite popular, I can't see why this is necessarily bad. Yet I cannot see this archetype being used just for this card. Most of buff your hand minions are rather understated, and most of the time, this will come out without any buffs. I think this will be played, not because of archetypes necessarily, but just because it is beast and it deals damage and summons a body.
Making some edits; with more buff cards coming out, I think this archetype just might be broken.
Shaky Zipgunner disagrees
How does this guy actualy deals dmg... enemy, minnion or split ???
If it says 'deal damage' you choose the target. See fireball for an example.
If it's split up, it'll say 'split randomly between enemies' or 'enemy minions' ( ie avenging wrath or c'thun )
If it's the enemy hero, it will say "deal x damage to the enemy hero" see sinister strike
With cards like Shaky Zipgunner and Trogg Beastrager this really can be insane.
When C'Thun and Stampeding Kodo have baby.
Turn 3 Leokk from Animal Companion does not feel that bad anymore
More reasons to play Trogg Beastragerand Shaky Zipgunner
Good on it's own
IT CAN GO FACE sMORC!
If you can buff it with auras it would be sick, but even just the synergy cards we've seen thus far make this a p. good card.
I'm pretty excited about this card! I know people are saying it's good because it's like Keeper of the Grove. But I think because it's in Hunter it has more reasons to be good. If the battlecry works how I think it does with auras, there's a card every Hunter deck already plays that could make this a huge tempo swing. Getting a Leokk off of Animal Companion on turn 3 usually is the worst outcome, but it could turn Kodo into a mini Blackwing Corruptor, which is huge on turn 4.
Even without any buffs, this is like playing a -1 health Carrion Grub and an Arcane Shot for only one card, and I think that card advantage aspect alone is something Hunter in particular will greatly appreciate
I don't think Leokk or any auras will affect Dispatch Kodo's battlecry. It will just go based on Kodo's attack straight from the hand, and synergises with the other Hunter cards they're releasing. But yeah, usually battlecry happens before anything else.
i totally agree with you, with +x+x bufs for the hand of this expansion this will become a very thech in midgame
Well any aura effect works on C'thun, so I don't see why it should not work on this kodo.
See for yourself 2:20 https://youtu.be/9neF5zHVEVE
I'm going to play it.
Whether it sees a lot of play depends on if there will be a good hunter deck in the meta.
It's a very solid card though. The 2-damage battlecry is very valuable for controlling the board or just hitting the face, with potential to be increased beyond 2; not the strongest stats, but with the beast synergy and the battlecry it makes up for it; Hound Master or Shaky Zipgunner makes it a pretty solid 4-6 [taunt].
why would it not see play?? it's like keeper of the grove with the ability for it to be stronger with the in hand buffs and maybe aura effects
