CONTROL HUNTER IS BACK ITS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
Buff incoming
They should reduce the cost to 3 mana, but make it draw on played beasts only. Hunter needs a draw engine, and this was nerfed way to severely.
Any reason to use this over Cult Master?
Haven't played this card before nerf, but playing with the Whispers' and Karazhan cards, I really like it. Six deathrattle-summon a beast cards in my deck -- Grandmother, Infested, Highmane plus all the usual spells -- Hounds, Snakes, sometimes even CotWild works with this card when you play it on turn 7 with some 2-mana beast.
This card is actually pretty decent with the addition of Infested Wolf. Great in the late game if you're able to get a Savannah Highmane or an Infested Wolf to stick to the board. I recommend people give this card a try again.
We'll never forget ya
I still think this is the harshest nerf in the history of the game.
Compare this card to Sprint:
You can potentially put 3\2 body on the board + Unleash the Hounds for 6 cards draw + 6 Hound for 8 mana total and two cards.
Yes, it's way stonger than Sprint.
But let's take a more realistic case: your opponent won't have 6 bodies on the board by the 8th turn, you'll be dead anyway if that the case.
Most likely he will have 2-3 bodies, so the combo will be realy weak. Don't forget the Starving Buzzard is completely unplayable without Unleash the Hounds.
I feel ok to punish your opponent for overflooding the board on turn 5-6 with the SB+UtH just like you punish your opponent for having too much cards in his hand with Divine Favor. I think this card would be playable with 3 mana 2\2 body.
Blizzard: Y U FEED THE BUZZARD? :P
See, he needs to be played with Unleash the Hounds to be anything at all now. And current hunters struggle to conceive of a turn 8, let alone using it to draw.
Haven't used this since it was nerfed
summon a 3/2 for 5 mana !? no thanks
card is broken since nerf, not playable anymore..
I've seen very less hunters comboing him with Unleash the Hounds ,and yeah it's badly broken since nerf
I remember back in the beta when it was 2/2 for 2 mana. It was very OP but after the nerf it is too weak. I gave it a try in beast deck but it usually dies before I can draw, and in late game I run out of steam and I need card draw but I have no beasts to combo it... this card is just to pricey.
I would like to see 4 mana cost on this card, then it would be pricey but there is a place for 4 cost minions in most of the decks, specially in beast decks, there is Houndmaster and the 5/4.
I think the biggest problem of this card is that such a beast doesn't look like a 5-cost minion.
What the image shows me is not a giant bird, while high-cost minions are often giant creatures.
