I've thought about the usefulness of this, and concluded it's a lot harder to complete than it seems. There aren't exactly a ton of spells Hunter is using right now that deal damage. If you burn them all inefficiently just to complete the quest you're gonna run out of resources real fast. Are you really going to start to run Bola Shot just for the quest? I wouldn't. (I assume Explosive trap would count but you don't run that in aggressive/tempo Hunter decks.) The expansion only adds one really usable attack spell in Aimed Shot.
So you have Aimed Shot, Piercing Shot, Arcane Shot, Quick Shot, and Wound Prey. And you need to use six of these ten. That's really hard to do in the amount of turns Hunter currently has to win the game.
In Wild, I can imagine Odd Hunter with this quest is crazy.
Why on Azeroth would you limit yourself to "spells Hunter is using right now" in a brand-new archetype?
When Bola Shot actively contributes to the overall goal of the deck, it becomes a good card. When used with Professor Slate (an obvious inclusion in this deck), it becomes a phenomenal card.
Having seen the Questline in action in the theorycrafting streams, I assure you it's very scary.
The spells Hunter are using now are the usable ones. The ones that aren't being used are because they're not very good. Bola Shot specifically needs three targets to get efficient use and Hunter is not playing defense now or in this next expansion especially given Rhino Hunter is getting even stronger. People might start including Scrap Shot because it's borderline but that's about it. Overwhelm is all but unplayable.
I think you are overvaluing efficiency and undervaluing quest completion. Once you have completed the quest, you are a machine-gun GOD. The faster it gets done, the sooner you can end the game. Efficiency is completely unimportant.
Very excited about this card in Wild! Finally a good win condition for Reno Hunter.
Dealing 2 damage is way too easy to finish a quest, compared to other classes.
its not deal 2 damage its deal damage with two spells
Works with Baku the Mooneater
Raza priest, but with instantly drawn Raza and DK (assuming you get the spells)
spell hunter in wild is going to be insane
