Anyone that doesn't think this significantly bolsters the all out face deck more than anything else is living in pure denial. That deck is already strong and will be even stronger come week 1.
Hunter gets a better version of Dark Bomb and warriors have a worse version of Fireball....I don't get it. Blizzard has a very strange way of "balancing" the game sometimes.
I'm testing it now on Cockatrice and I think it's more or less the "answer" to all of the metagame midrange decks running 2xZombie Chow on ladder, for Face Hunter I think the "test" of the card is to see whether or not it can lower its curve by cutting Animal Companion, not Wolfrider, and Haunted Creeper for faster starts with Southsea Deckhand for eight 1 drops that you can protect with board control from Glaivezooka and Quick Shot and just use Unleash the Hounds, Ironbeak Owl and maybe Snake Trap to trigger Kill Command.
Granted that's Face Hunter, but the point is the board control element of the card is really solid and I think there could be an argument in Mid-Range Hunter for cutting a Kill Command for a Quick Shot in the same way there is for cutting an Eaglehorn Bow for a Glaivezooka just to have diversified board control at varrying mana costs.
The most fun part of this discussion before the card is out is reading all the noobs saying "this doesen't change face hunter". Is fun because I'm 100% sure that one of them is going to be the first to open a new thread that reads something like "Bliz, please nerf Quickshot" the same day this card is realase after playing against a face hunter, stabilized the game at turn 9, lets say with 10 health just to get top deck quickshot into top deck quickshot into top deck wolf rider into hero power for 11 dmg (9 mana)

i can already imagine the amount of nerf threads with quickshot
Fucking ridiculous card. Auto-include in every hunter deck. More direct dmg = More cancerous games and an even more tainted ladder experience.
Why does blizzard love face huntard so much? It's the least interactive, one of the most RNG-based, and is the most hated deck in all of Hearthstone. This card is nothing but bad for the game. I guess control hunter is dead for good. /facepalm Blizzard.
Let's hope the dragon decks will be crazy enough to discourage hunter decks. I am seriously worried face hunter will still be top-tier after all cards are released though.

hunter will be tier 1 after all cards are released thats 1000% certain. dragon decks being midrange-tempo dont use taunts at all or use very few. that doesnt mean dragon paladin cant be tier 1 too. as i see it face hunter brings more balance to the game than any other deck as it punishes certain decks and keeps them in control. for example maybe my fast druid wont have a chance against dragon paladin but hunter will. so power levels between decks maintain a balance which is healthy for the game. dont forget that hunter has an auto loss to warrior, so the more hunters the more warriors will appear. also except warrior face hunter has other weak matchups too as it gets easily countered. the only deck im terryfying by it is the new rogue-miracle-malygos otk thing.... with emperor that thing is extremely viable and scary and i dont believe it has weak matchups
about 30 games after blackrock was released in europe, haven't played against a single hunter so can't really say much about the card. found some mill rogues though , that seems fun, didn't lose a single game to them but it seems cool.

Its also kinda strange to me why everyone compare this card to Dark Bomb, and not, lets say, Frostbolt?

not really. It's not doom guard. Just play both and draw a card jez.
It's a class quest reward
Auto include for hunter every hunter deck
This card is super strong in aggro hunter :o
Am I the only one who faced off against 5 face hunters just now and they all used quick shot and it was very very unimpressive?
75% ladder face huntards. Great.
2x Healbot here I come.
OK, this I tested a low-manacost hunter with this card, and it is insane. I love it!

I hate this card atm I faced a face hunter today who was bout to die but he Quickshotted into hounds, fuck this card seriously.
