Here is a thought: Hemet Jungle Hunter in Wild will destroy negative ability cards, not just minions, that can get shuffled into your deck.

• Ambush! from Beneath the Grounds
• Ancient Curse from Ancient Shade  
• Burrowing Mine from Iron Juggernaut

All of those are 0-mana cards and will be destroyed by Hemet.

Another interesting thought for Rogue: Hemet Jungle Hunter > Preparation (not destroyed if in your hand) >  Thistle Tea could be a nice power play late game. In Wild you might consider Chromaggus and Gang Up as additional copying or a way to 'reload' your deck before you cast Thistle Tea. If you could hit a card like N'Zoth with Thistle Tea in a deathrattle Rogue that would be crazy.

SO much potential in combo decks to get to your combo faster. Probably extremely potent with Hunter quest. Put only cards that cost 3 or less in the deck, Complete the quest, play Hemet to destroy your deck then Queen to have only raptors left in the deck. If you have Thundra Rhino generate 20 damage in one turn.

Is this real? I actually think it's good. Often on turn 6 with jade rogue I want to get to my bigger stuff, not drawing my Misstress of mixtures. This will have some niche application like that. It basically allows you to clear your deck of shit for the late game. It helps tempo, you will obviously fatigue fast.

 

Well, you still want your brann/raptors/shurikens/sap/shadow strike don´t you?

Meta-Defining Priest Strat:

1. Turn 5 Elise the Trailblazer
2. Turn 6 Hemet, Jungle Hunter
3. "You will regret this!"
4. Concede

LEGEND 1 BOIS

Problem is, what if Hemet is at bottom of deck? 

at least, this one is better than original one xd

But it will destroy all your evicserate sap and jade shuriken to D:

fun card, but kinda useless

 

Astral Communion is about the only deck where this might be useful.

This is in my top 5 favorite cards of all time. There are so many interesting deck building opportunities for this card. It's like the ultimate tutor effect since it gaurantees that your topdecks will be exactly the cards you want provided you build accordingly.

While I see it's uses my biggest question is: is it deserving of a deck slot? What would you take out for it?

 Read what I wrote a couple of posts ago. You'll probably never want to play this card with Rogues, Mages, Warlocks that have powerful early cards + low cost combos, but it's insane for sometjing that wants to go straight into midrange/late game and doesn't want to risk drawing early cards and losing tempo. It'll be great for classes like hunter, Druid and warrior that all like to have late game threats and removal and can't afford to lose any of it because they drew badly.

I like my cards... BUT TEH MEMEZZZZ

Step 1) Fill your hunter deck with 1 drops with some big play minions (7-10 drops) as well (but not very many)

Step 2) Quest - soaking up opponent's board with your 1 drops.

Step 3) once quest is achieved drop Hemet.

From that point on you either draw the big drops or 1 drops that let you draw another card. Huge value in that. 

Bonus points if your 1 drops are deathrattle minions and one of your big drops is Nzoth

More Bonus points if you can bounce the quest card (youthful brewmaster) for more deck value.

So uh...this is busted in the right deck and it seems like only a handfull of people understand why.  This is incredible in ramp druid (if that ever becomes a thing), it can be incredible in the right mid range deck (I'd need a lot of time to figure out what decks can utlize this bad boy though), and certain combos probably love this guy.  

The best part about this card is that it has very limited application, but its synergies arent obvious and dont auto build a deck for you.  I cant wait to get the juices flowing with this card.  I cant help but think of combo paladin (don han cho, leeroy, faceless type stuff) with this card, but there are probably better uses.  

fatigue druid turn 1? awesome 

it is insane in astral druid. more fun. 

It doesn't get rid of the cards in your hand.... so....

Low cost Jade Druid deck, make sure you have 1 jade idol in your hand, with preferably a few card-draw mechanics (G Auctioneer / Nourish)

Let fly with Hemet, pull 3 copies of Jade into your deck, rinse and repeat with G Auctioneer as all the cards will be Jade Idol....

Quite a few possibilities 

It sickens me how many people are brushing this off as a bad card when they don't realize how amazing this card is.

Let's start with the basics. This new Hemet is a 6 mana 6/6. While one health below vanilla stats, it's still a good statline to put in your 6 drops since Sylvanas Windrunner is being rotated out. Some would argue that Cairne Bloodhoof is a better choice, and for some decks I agree, but Cairne is a 4/5 that summons another 4/5, while this is a 6/6. A 6/6 can deal with bigger threats, while a 4/5 into a 4/5 can help with control.

But here's the big thing that really makes this Hemet amazing: That Battlecry. I know what you're thinking: "Why the fuck would I ever want to destroy cards in my deck?" Because simpleton, destroying cards in your deck thins it, and by thinning the deck you greatly increase the odds of drawing a really good card or a card you need. Anything that can help with removing cards from your deck is amazing in it's own right, like Mysterious Challenger, Mad Scientist, and Patches the Pirate. Sure, you'll reach fatigue faster, but let's be honest if you put Hemet in your deck it's a deck that's designed to kill your opponent before fatigue.

Another thing people are saying is "Why would I wanna destroy these cards?! I would destroy my Jade Idol!" Then, why would you have Hemet in a Jade Druid deck when that deck doesn't need him? Certain decks that have already used their 1-3 cost cards could use Hemet without fear, or if your deck has some 1-3 cost cards that are now useless at that point in the game, use Hemet to destroy them, thinning out your deck and letting you draw something that is useful at that point in the game.

So many possibilities with this new Hemet, and I'm really excited to see this. I can't wait to see the theorycrafting with Hemet, Jungle Hunter.
