So 6 mana and 2 cards at the very least for a 2 mana random secret? Kinda meh, but the card itself has decent stats even without a secret in case of emergencies. Could fit into mid-range secret hunter or maybe even control hunter with secrets, if either of them are ever a thing. Not too bad, but not too good either.
Weird that Professor Putricide is a hunter card tho.
I... guess because he's turning into some kind of beast/dino in the art? Some kinda Scary Monsters stuff going on? Only reason I can think of for him being a Hunter legendary. The effect also doesn't make sense for the character, really.
But the statline is fair. I suppose the dream is an uncontested Cloaked Huntress into this gets you a nice secret tree going, but how often is that going to happen? If it sticks, it's good, but if it doesn't then it's vanilla stats... and that's not gonna see a lot of play. Hard to judge for certain, but it's possibly good.
E: Yeah I guess dropping it on Turn 6 with Freezing Trap can be a decent enough combo, but hard removal counters that well enough. Still a bit skeptical, especially since Turn 6 is Savannah Highmane territory, and I'd rather play that than the previously mentioned combo.
Playing Cat Trick and getting Freezing Trap or Explosive Trap will make it very annoying. Not even speaking about the value when you can stealth it or play Secrets more than once with it. Cloaked Huntress is something i can't imagine right now. Hunters aren't known holding many cards for combos imo.
And love the art btw. Bringing back some Mad Scientist memories.
Same as princess Huhuran, will never see play cause of a small detail: attack and health in the "wrong" order.
Huhuran would be solid as a 5/6 as much as this card would be solid as a 4/5.
4 health are just too bad, jade lightning, truesilver champion, frostbolt ping, vallet ping, swipe, wrath + HP, eviscerate etc etc
People used to say Tomb Pillager would never ever see play for the very same reason
Also it would be disguting powercreep as a 4/5
There are three big differences that screw up that comparison:
1. Tomb Pillager's effect is a deathrattle. Even if it dies, it'll still give you a useful tool.
2. You have two. More opportunity to make use of the body as well as the effect.
3. It's Rogue. The value of a coin in Rogue is massive compared to the value of a random secret in Hunter.
When you ignore that you aren't guaranteed to get a secret every time, then sure this card seems insane. But if you drop it on 4, it can be easily answered by most classes. If you drop it on six, you're not playing Highmane. If you're not playing Highmane, you used your Turn 6 to play a specific secret and a random one. That isn't bonkers like people seem to think.
Again, I think it has potential, but people are acting like this is the most amazing card in the set. It probably isn't.

amazing! This thing has the potential to bring secret hunter back!
Fun, will lead to random misdirection lethals.

Best card released so far in my opinion, could make midrange hunter tier 1 again.
Hunter got a Lyra that only deals with secrets, but it's one mana cheaper.
A good card, but can Hunter use it? This definitely means they are getting a new secret this expansion though, so we'll need to see how good that is.
Im not sure... if i replace my hero with the new one i lost the secrets?

I believe your secrets stay.
This after a Cloaked Huntress will be insane, in status, tempo and card advantage.
I really like this one.
This card is like druid Fandral for hunter, a 4 mana minion opponent have to kill fast as possible.
Even if you play it for stats alone, it is good. What else is hunter doing on 4 at the moment?
Powerful way to encourage secret hunter, but I think the attack and health should be reversed.
Rage quitting: the best way to ensure your opponent knows they beat a giant baby.
Professor "Kill Me Now Or Lose the Game".
SeemsGoodMan. Hyped to try it.
GOOD STATS AND GOOD ABILITY??? WHAT??? PROFESSOR WILL REVIVE HUNTER :D!
Holy. This is more like it..

My magic will tear you apart!
