Pretty good if you have mostly big Beasts. She's expensive but the Battlecry half can drop a LOT of stats on the field. The main questions is will Hunters still be mid and late game instead of agro? Or will they be out of the meta altogether?
EZ BIG EZ HUNTER EZ ... wait what? I'll be pretty surprised if this card will be viable.
This is the chick from the webcomic Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth.
She was impregnated by a tree.
I'm not joking.
possibly great in deathrattle hunter.
Hunter needs a Gang Up for beasts to stack their deck
Turn 5: Corpse Widow
Turn 6: Kathrena Winterwisp
I mean it looks OK at first glance but when you end up with a Weasel Tunneler and a River Crocolisk I'm not sure you will think it's better than a Savannah Highmane.
So basically like every Hunter legendary over 6 mana.
Why would I end up with those if they're not in my deck? You might need to review what "Recruit" means
You put Weasel tunneler AND River Crocolisk in your hunter decks??
Worst case scenario: it pulls both Alleycats from your deck and is worth 8/8/8.
And that's autolose for a hunter. That's the problem with this card and hunter in general - you need to play alot of 1-2 drops in hunter, and then at your turn 8 you put few mediocre non charged bodies with combined stats of Savanah Highmane...
Even worse case scenario: it's the last card in your deck and then it's a 8 mana 6/6.
Jokes on you, hunter barely ever goes to half of his deck, save fatigue.
If you're playing this, you'll be building out the low curve of your hunter decks very differently. Neutral cards for minions and removal with the hopes of getting to a Corpse Widow + Kathrena Winterwisp combo. Probably include Barnes just for the occasional lucky pull.
Frankly, I feel like this card needs a deck built around it to be effective (it's not one of those auto-includes that has a lot of upside when it pulls the alleycat). I'm not smart enough to say if those decks will be competitive or even fun, but I'm looking forward to finding out!

this card is stupid good
8 mana 6-6 new meta (remember Marin the Fox?).
Deck construction around this card will be really cool. Since it's only recruiting from your beast pool, you can build a Big Hunter of sorts and still have non-beast minions, but the card itself is so slow you run the risk of the Big Beasts making it into your hand and thus not being recruitable.
