Mistermath's Card Ratings for Voyage to the Sunken City:
7/10
This is one of a few cards this expansion and in previous expansions trying desperately to push a value hunter, to no avail. It's honestly pretty surprising that it didn't work here, as Harpoon Gun is an insane card, packaging Fiery War Axe with card selection AND discounts on your large beasts. As expected, it's one of the top cards in the decks of the few people trying to make value hunter work, but the rest of the deck is slow enough that this card is hardly seen. Be on the lookout, though - if/when mass nerfs come through, this is not likely to be a card that is hit, and it's extremely powerful.
Edit: I thought this card was going to be powerful after nerfs came out. What I didn't expect was the hearthstone balance team to think that buffing this was a good idea. The buff on the discount from 2 to 3 was really just obviously not necessary on an already overpowered card. With this buff (and the other ones impacting control hunter), the beast control hunter deck is going from a respectable and strong tier 3 to probably tier 2, and this is going to be the biggest reason why. I'm pushing my rating on this to 8/10 - it almost looks like a treasure from a duels run, not an actual hearthstone card.
This card is so busted. 6 of the 10 Colossal minions are beasts and only one of those beasts costs more than 7. You could play this on turn 3, play Ambassador Faelin turn 4 and swing with this and you will probably dredge up a beast colossal that you can play on turn 5
Pretty cool tool for slower Hunter decks. Turn 5 colossus here we go!
So more mana discounting....
