Thoughts on Gorillabot A-3?

You want to play it early, and have your opponent kill it's minions into it. Think of it as a 1-2-3 with no effect if your opponent has full health.

I don't have Al-Akir, so I'm going to try subbing Mistwalker into the deck for him. 

IIRC, Entry Fees are designated differently from Gambling. If paying with money, you are ALWAYS paying 2 bucks, and are NEVER recouping that. Now if you could pay more money, and get better stuff from winning if you paid more, then that would be an issue.

Why are you guys so concerned with running out of cards in your deck? If you manage to go through your entire deck and no one is dead yet, then you weren't able to apply enough pressure when required to. This card lets you do that. For one mana. Need a small drop early in the game? Tracking can help. Need a game-ending bomb late game? Tracking can help.

And speaking of draw mechanics, what would you rather have instead of Tracking as a hunter? The mechanic on this card is pretty unique in terms of what's available to us so far.

I'm not as concerned about running out of cards, but running across the scenario where I get multiple cards that are crucial to my plan when I use it. Lets say I draw a weapon, king krush, and some other top pick card. I bone myself using the card. I suppose using it late game would be better, but still it becomes an issue early game, and is left purely up to RNG. I wouldn't mind as much having the other choices shuffled back in.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I can see it being good in order to get that "one card" quickly, but you sacrifice too many cards in the meantime

So Tracking is a cheap drop that allows the Hunter to look at the top three cards in his deck, pick one of them and discard the other two. Now I know card advantage means a lot in card games, but it seems disadvantageous to toss 2 cards into your graveyard, especially when you only have 30 to start with. Furthermore, what if you get two or three cards that you really need for your game? You end up losing them. So can someone tell me why I would ever want to pick this?
