Cave Hydra + Knuckles = an 8-mana 5/11 that hits 3 minions and deals 15 face damage to your opponent through any taunt. Oh yeah, with Tundra Rhino, he can charge and his mana cost is just low enough to let you discover and play him on the same turn.
Remember, guys, only one component of Build-A-Beast is allowed to have non-keyword text. Cave Hydra cannot be combined with Knuckles, Bittertide Hydra, or Tundra Rhino.
I love the wording on this.
Magnataur Alpha says "he" so hes a dude.
Foe Reaper 4000 says "it".
Cave Hydra says "this" this ugly thing.
It is good for board control early on, followed by Hound Master and it will be insane but probably will not see play.
Btw, why not make this an epic and one of the hunter new spells a common when they wanted to push spell hunter deck so much?
wait....wait....wait....

Tundra Rhino

Toxic Arrow
it's real. It's finally here. Good removal in hunter. Sure it's a gimmicky combo, but at this point toxic Arrow has enough targets to be ran.
Just think of the possibilities now. We can run the Hunter spell stone in the deck alongside a couple defensive secrets for 14 damage burst later in the game.
There's actually a lot of possible combos now which makes running either of these cards a lot more attractive
You are not really putting effort in trying to think of a control combo with Toxic Arrow, are you? I hit rank 4 last month with legit Control Hunter deck, believe it or not. And one of its strongest sides is actually a boardclear using the Toxic Arrow. It is very simple - I shot my own Baron Geddon, and he becomes a full infinite boardclear. Of course he gets removed but before he truly makes a Deathwing-like swing.
Can I have a decklist please? :) I'd love to try it out!
wait...holy shit, that'S fucking brillliant, why did nobody think of that.
Guess it's time to finallyy craft the old Baron
In wild, there is a much cheaper and more annoying combo with Unstable Ghoul and Toxic Arrow. It stop the most powerful jade and tempo boards in their tracks.
Even better with Unstable Ghoul in wild.
It's true, i thought about it immideately Toxic Arrow was released, unfortunately I don't play Wild. But yeah, particularly this combo is amazing.
So, you give hunter all the amazing minions and all the crap spells then requires hunter run an all-spell deck?
just buff this by +2/+2 and this thing gets very scary.
I am dizzy now!, a hunter card that have the tag beast and is playable... oh my god!
I like it. It encourages some buffs, maybe it will be too slow in some situations, but this is what hunter needs:
A minion (beast), which can handle an annoying board (taunts) and aggressively fight to establish board control. I like the idea of it.
Hail Hydra
Shocked its not a 4/2 with blizzard's addiction with giving all beast low hp.
"If your deck contains no minions, this also damages minions next to whomever this attacks" there fixed it
yeah, i really hope they fix it in time, wouldn't want Hunter to eclipse all other classes
But if I use this, my deck will have minions.
Crackling Razormaw to give it +3 attack or Poisonous :)
