Now this is something I would like to Evolve my Nerubian Prophets to
Entirely unplayable below rank 20. And it's not even a problem of hunter can't play into control at all (which is what we learned from all the time blizzard introduced hunter control cards), it's just card's design. There's a golden rule for cards of this nature, which reads: If outcome of the card is decided on your opponent's play, expect bad results in 90% of times (see Mirror Entity, but this is worse, since it's not secret).
It can be hard removed (and then you instalose), it can be poison'ed, deathrattled (would be funny if Sylvanas Windrunner would still be in the game), divine shileded and frozen. This is already 4 significant counters of the top of my head. I guess we are back to shitty hunter legendaries for nearly every expansion again.
Highman is a rare not a legendary and cost 6 u fucking casual!
That's fuking stupid. The card is rare and you can't have two of the same legendary in your deck at the same time. Even if you play it on turn 7 it still only cost 6 and the fact that you said the joke is "amongst some players" only implies a few filthy casuals players like yourself.
Actually, everyone who played hunter at some point has realised that the highmane was the true legendary of the classic set. We call it a legendary because it is strong and it deserves the status, not because of the coloured gem.
U must B blind and or restarted because it's a rare and you couldn't have two in your deck if that was the case.
Most Hunter players have heard the joke, provided they play decks that play past turn 5. And dude, don't call players "filthy casuals". I mean, first off it's just a dick move, but also you've only been a member of this site for 15 days. So I'm going to take a punt and say you haven't been a "pro 1337 player" for too long, if that's what you call yourself.
Score one for the Control Hunters! Playing this thing late game is sure going to be a massive pain in the ass for anyone wanting to drop that high-cost Legendary card they had been waiting so long to play. And even if it does get its health cut down at times, it's a 7 mana 9/9 and after it breaks down it will still be a threat on board unless your opponent has hard removal up their sleeve. Which, sadly, is the problem with Midrange Hunter-it doesn't pack enough cards that demand the enemy's hard removal. Hopefully this expansion will help get over that issue.
Swamp King Dred doesn't care; he just aggro's everything.
you face jaraxxus 9 dmg in your head :D
I'm sure the answer is 'no', but how awesome would it be if you could play this with Mayor Noggenfogger and have it potentially go face when your opponent drops a card.
Edit: I say this knowing full well that getting both of those cards on the board at the same time would be extremely unlikely. But it could be entertaining as hell if it did work out in some 'for fun only' matches!
or it attacks your face
Nah, your own face is an invalid target for one of your minions, so that likely wouldn't be possible.
I'd say not, as you're not choosing the target. But who knows :P It would be fun as heck if it were that way, that's for sure XD
Wow you're so confidant (arrogant). So you want them to just give up printing anything but one specific type of Hunter card? If they print enough mid-range/control style hunter cards we could eventually see something more playable, and even if that doesn't end up happening this expansion, hunter is a fun class in arena because of cards like this, but by all means keep being a dick and instead make yourself out to be some kind of marty of truth. Hunter only needs 2-3 really good low cost cards per expansion so I don't know what you expect them to do with the rest of the Hunter card slots.
Anomalus buff
This is easily countered by poisonous minions. But it's a really interesting control card for hunter.
