Ok, so just off what we know in Standard this is unplayable. Obviously. (unless the other half of the set is Naxx 2.0)
But is it good in Wild is the big question to be asking. In a semi-aggressive midrange hunter deck you're bound to have 2 maybe 3 deathrattles in your hand at a time so the buff isn't really worth it. It seems really slow for Wild and the stats aren't great. Even if there are a bunch of Deathrattles in Standard I don't think you would play this in aN'Zoth the corruptor deck.
A near-guaranteed 3-to-3 trade (or an ill-used spell on the opponent's side) to get, typically, +2/+2. Very meta dependent and dependent on what else Hunter will get, but seems alright for now.

Well, this would make using cards like Nerubian Egg easier to use in Wild. You could make a good aggro deck out of this with stuff like Webspinner, Piloted Shredder, Sludge Belcher, Savannah Highmane... along with the aforementioned Nerubian Egg.

If that were true you'd play mistcaller and nobody plays mistcaller. The effect is a lot better and the stats are basically the same. 2 toughness at 3 mana, 4 toughness at 6. Same level of terrible at each mana cost. These kinds of "shit now value later" cards dont even see casual play because they're so bad.
Does it mean they will bring new deathrattle beasts to the game or am i wrong?

Memedeck-seeker. Always tries to build new decks. Hates tournements, streamers, netdecks and poor-o players. ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!

Ah yes, so many wrong statements in 1 post.
"If that were true you'd play Mistcaller and no one plays Mistcaller."
The reason why Mistcaller is not played as much is that he is more of a combo piece than a threat. For three less mana than a Mistcaller, this has an immediate 4 attack presence that needs to be dealt with ASAP. Not everything can be a Spider Tank for 3 or a Totem Golem for 2.
"Same level of Terrible at each cost."
Um, if you played against a Hunter, a 3 mana minion with 4 attack is pretty goddamn good. I'd compare this guy to an often overlooked Hunter card with the same body and mana cost, Dreadscale. Dreadscale can be a royal pain in the ass to aggro decks, like Eboladin and Murloc decks. This new Hunter card is going to be a royal pain in the ass, because if this guy is played early enough, you are going to deal with shit like a 5/4 Piloted Shredder on Turn Four, or a 3/3 Mad Scientist and a 4/3 Huge Toad on the same turn. Hell, throw in a Coin and you can add a 2/2 Webspinner to either scenario. That is NOTHING TO SCOFF AT.
"These kinds of 'shit now value later' cards don't even see casual play because they are so bad."
To be quite honest, I'd be astonished if this guy isn't played a lot on Wild Ladder, because there are a lot of Deathrattle synergies at a low cost. I need to see how the rest of the set will pan out, but I know that there are a ton of Deathrattle cards in this expansion, and this guy has the potential to be a nightmare in either format.
It's a really good one, and it fits well for hunter, that only has weapon as a good 3 mana drop.
It's great in Wild and can be really good in Standard.
In wild it combos really well with other cars, so it's really strong, in Standard it gives nice value, is not a dead drop and if you consider the power of the cards in the game is down in wild you can see how strong this one is.
Might not be meta defining or seen in every deck but man, it's gonna find it's way on the game instead of being a dead card, like so many from other expansions.
Feel like this card would have been a lot better in the meta that is rotating out.
Losing Mad Scientist, Webspinner, Haunted Creeper, and Piloted Shredder kinda makes this card not so appealing.
Not to mention it is competing with Animal Companion for the 3 slot. I do think Hunter could use a couple strong 3 drops (particularly with a BEAST tag). But this isn't it.
Great in a Feign Death deck. Oh wait it's gone ;( Still this means we are going to see some crazy deathrattle Hunter decks. Cannot see how it will help push Control but certainly expect two of in some Midrange decks.
Effect is actually pretty mediocre considering it only works on the deathrattle minions in your hand and not hand and deck. But hey, 3 mana and not completely terrible stats.
It'l probably see play in whatever build of N'zoth hunter is out there.
I kind of like it, I'm not sure. I don't believe the premise that this is a card with stats that suffer from it s stats the same way that The Mistcaller does. With The Mistcaller, you are dropping a mid/late game high cost minion that pretty much needs higher impact in its effect to validate being a 4/4. This card costs 3 less, and even though its effect is weaker the stats are way better. At this point, you're still developing INTO midgame and not FROM midgame, so the +1/+1 can be an important factor to take mid board control. It also trades with pretty much every other 3-drop and a bunch of 4-drops with its high attack. But this is feels more of a tempo/aggro tool due to the nature of its stats. Could still see play in slower decks since the effect scales with your hand size.
This may or may not be good depending on the cards that are still to be revealed, considering you need to build the deck pretty much around it. Due to N'zoth the Corruptor, I'm definitely expecting more Deathrattle minions to enter the fray.
Haven't seen all the cards yet, but, this gives you some idea what you might do.

The picture and stats look like BGH turned into a Worgon. lmao!

It is playable with 4/2 stat to be put on the board without battlecry, not a bad card.
So many people hating on this card.

Hunter with deathrattle may be a real archetype with this extention.
