Pros:
Cons:
So, at first it looked rather awesome, but at a second glance, it shows lots of downsides...
hunter does't care about fatigue
it's not a 2 mana 6/4... u shuffle a card into your deck so u have to draw it and has a high chance of replacing a card that is good.
Dies to hero power, nothing special with a 2/1 body.
This card is not very good because it shuffles a 4/3 into your deck which if u don't draw in the first couple turns, it sucks because you definitely don't want to top deck this when you're out of cards
On Main Page it doesn't show the Beast synergy. I was gonna say no it's not a beast but I saw the beast part here. Maybe someone should fix it.
And this card is fairly good. Not too strong but yeah strong.
Ooooh, Potion of Madness is going to LOVE this guy!
Bad card. U most likely will not draw the 4/3 in early game, drawing this not in early game will result in a good chance that it'll be drawn instead of savannah or other solid high cost minions that u desperately need to top deck.
1 mana 4/3

A deceptively simple guide by Team 5:

broken cards for the class that saw the least play in the last expansion.Am I missing something here? This card doesn't look good at all to me.
The Small Raptor is a 1 mana 2/1. Even with the beast tag that's not good at all. You're throwing away an entire card for nothing if you're opponent has a ping, and without a lot of draw, Hunters can't afford that.
What's the big upside? If you play the Small Raptor on turn one going first and it immediately dies, your deck has 26 cards in it. On average, you're waiting for 13 turns from there to draw your high-tempo mediocre-value raptor. Even if you get lucky and draw it slightly sooner, it's likely that you're too low on cards to saturate your mana anyway, and the fact that the Raptor costs 1 then is meaningless.
The only potential synergy would be in the The Marsh Queen deck, and only for the off chance that you fish the 4/3 out of the deck with Tol'vir Warden. This card actually has notable anti-synergy with Queen Carnassa herself because shuffling a card into your deck dilutes your deck of those precious Carnassa's Broods you need to draw.
My verdict? This card sees no play in constructed.
"My verdict? This card sees no play in constructed."
So... how bout them raptor hatchlings?
Is this card seeing all the play that you all thought it would, now that the expansion is out? Is it really good?
No? It's only being played in quest hunter, which turned out to be bad, and even then only as filler to hit your one drop quota? Mmk, just checking.
Judging from the artwork, this expansion is suitable for 3 year olds.
Hi.
It's a Blizzard game.
Hope that helps!
Hmm Im probably wrong but what if the meta
1. starts as jade druid
2. midrange hunter starts to rise in popularity
3. jade druid has a low percentage against jade druid so less players.
4. people start to play more control decks like nzoth priest to counter hunter
5. some people start playing jade druid to counter the control decks
I know this will most likely not happen as I didnt account for pirate warrior and everything I said was pretty flawed in a sense. But I will just keep telling myself this just to hope that the meta isnt as bad as the meta now and hearthstone knows what theyre doing (even though I know I'm wrong)
Well, then we would have a healthy meta, for a change.
A lot of different decks beeing playable at the same time, since it would never be clear which deck was at the top with the constant changes in popularity.
The thing is: The way we're playing right now is jades, renolock and the same aggro ones as the way to climb, and thats it, good luck trying something different.
If we never knew what was beeing played the most at any given time, we wouldn't be restricted to playing specific decks to counter another specific deck, we would play what we thought the strongest/most fun and have a good time doing it.
Most people are going to be playing Deathrattle Priest to start off with. Jade druid will still be pretty powerful and will remain in the meta. People will probably try out tempo beast hunter but im still uncertain how good it will be
I think i realized something...THIS is the way you beat jade druid. Shuffle into your deck some cycling little raptors that golems CANT ignore and have to trade into. if your deck adds a bunch of cards to it, you won't die to fatigue very fast anyways
A vanilla statted 1 drop minion that has a strong effect. Nice.
Hunters are struggling because of the oppressive pirates we printed last expansion, you say? Let's print hunters some insane 1 and 2 drops that synergize off each other so they can beat pirates in the early game and there can be even more cancer in the meta
Wouldn't call it insane honestly. Its extremely good, but the shuffle makes it 'relatively' balanced. Un-nerfed small time buccaneer is debatably stronger.
