Quote from BlizzardWhich order will Call of the Wild summon the Companions in? Very important if you have 5 or 6 minions already on board!
Call of the Wild summons the Animal Companions in order alphabetically: Huffer -> Leokk -> Misha. (source)in all the languages?

Very strong on an empty board, absolutely broken if you have anything.
Mysterious Challenger-tier, SMOrc all day long.
OP hunter card
Huffer summoned first... i think that this is a bug since Animal Companion was made...
Always Huffer, SMOrc.
$200 for Blizzcon? WOW so expensive for 2 days.
Well it was a card that most people expected to be made at some point.
Tundra Rhino + Call of the Wild
seems good :)
Seems very expensive and unnecessary*
Cho'Gall obviously won this vote, so please vote for corrupted wisps next, that has to be hilarious.
I VOTED FOR THIS CARD
8 mana? ouch, i mean its technically 1 mana cheaper then it "should", but damn.
In spanish for example, Huffer is called "Buffar"
in Russian they're Леокк, Миша and Хаффер, in alphabet. order
in other words, there'll be the boar, the wyvern and the bear, from left to right :-D
In Brazilian Portuguese they are called Bufo, Leokk and Misha, so the order would still be the same.
One interesting change they made in the translation for us brazilians is Hemet Nesingwary (an anagram of Ernest Hemingway). Here he is called Rosarães Guima, an wordplay for Guimarães Rosa, a famous brazilian writer.
Bitch please, like a Face Hunter wouldn't just concede when his opponent was still alive by the end of turn 6.
Force of Huffers
good card, just what hunters needed :3
Huffer summoned first
I rescind my earlier comment -- my eyesight apparently sucks enough to make me think that was a 9. At 8, this card is actually pretty ridiculous given Leokk's effect.
Sweet card for arena! Decent for control hunter - if that becomes a bigger thing in the new meta :-)
