I love the card, it has some great potential

EVERYONE, GET IN HERE

Build-a-Beast SYNERGY!!!!

At that rate, why not just run Tundra Rhino?

bcause control hunter is lyf

• Pretty sure the "cannot attack face" part of rush is only active the turn the card is played.

Get ready for the world's BIGGEST Scavenging Hyena...EVER!!

I think it's safe to say Houndmaster Shaw as one of the heroes in monster hunt, his HP will be something like "passive: your minions have rush" or "2: give your minions rush". However, seeing as how it's pve, his hero power might straight up give them charge instead.

This could be the beginning of Rush Hunter, not to be mistaken with Face Hunter. (And there are some nice combos in Wild like with Unstable Ghoul + Toxic Arrow.)

Is that Tommy Whiseau on the horse?

And every time a minion gets rush/charge it yells "I DID NOT HIT HER THAT'S BULLS*IT!"

Oh Hai Doggy!

Regardless of the actual effect, this card has almost premium stats. Having 3/6 worth of stats is pretty good, keeping it safe from Duskbreaker and for the most part, Defile too. The bonus of giving rush is also really strong. Given that you play the card on curve, and your oppenent can't clear the minion yet, you essentially lets you turn your minions into removal spells if you want. Given that hunter can have a rather strong start with Dire Mole, Crackling Razormaw, Eaglehorn Bow, etc, I feel like this could happen in plenty of match ups given the meta not speed up.

While I think the card is strong, it feels a lot more of a win more card though. If you are already ahead, it will help lock out games, but when behind, it's just a 4 mana 3/6.  But if a hunter reaches late game (like in a big beast hunter style deck), comboing it with cards like Savannah Highmane can be a nice 10 damage clear (given that the highmane dies). 

Overall, I have good hopes for this card, certainly not meta defining, but definitely playable or very good.

You're absolutely right, nice comment

crazy strong. Especcially in wild with cards like kindly Grandmother or mad scientist 

Being overwhelmed by a full board of 3/3s and tarim? Are shamans breaking the meta with their usual earth elemental, ancestral spirit and faceless manipulator nonsense? Is the only thing protecting you a single hound? Fear not, because with Houndmaster Shaw and necrotic geist this humble hound will protect you to the death and rush from the undeath until all your enemies are dead! (Pre) order now for only $49.99!

wait that's actually nuts

Not go face? What the point? Me use Rhino.

Me no trade, me always go face!
