Bad card. You have to have at least 3 tokens to make this better than a vanilla draw. Best way to get 3 things on board is unleash. 6 mana 3 1/1s draw 3 beasts already isnt played in a single card. For 1 extra mana, you can play a body and draw from your deck with cultmaster.
Seems too slow. Meta never slows down no matter what new cards are added.
Between upcoming nerfs and standard cycling out quite a few smorcing staples, be ready for turn 5 wins to be pushed back at least a few turns...
Past experience tells us that player ingenuity will always find a way to make aggro/fast decks. And with 100+ cards still to be revealed, I think we have to be prepared for all different kinds of new cancer.
It's hard for a hunter to have card in hand or keep minion in play.
I regularly hold cards like Unleash, Owl, Mark, Kill Commands in various match ups, sure plenty of other players do too.
Match ups where minions are regularly removed are the exact kind of match ups where this card is potentially useful, its not uncommon for control decks to start building a board in the mid to late turns. Which is exactly when you need to start refilling your hand with specifically minions.
The hounds have charge though, you can kill them and see what beasts you get on the same turn you play them, so really it's like arcane explosion + ball of spirers.
I like this. It provides hunters with an easy yet risky way to fill thier hand when combined with unleash. In Wild, shenanigans will be had with this plus feign death. 8/10, would play a 1 of in a midrange hunter deck.
I'm skipping past nine pages because ... well, of course I would.
Anyway, on one hand, I like that they are giving hunters less expensive, playable card draw options.
On the other hand, i'm getting REALLY tired of Blizzard only allowing us to have random beasts as part of that card draw. Draw a random beast, summon a random beast, deathrattle: random beast (in THREE different cards - webspinner, ball of spiders, and now this.)
What does Blizzard have against giving hunters legitimate card DRAW?
Sigh... well, it is playable, at least, and combos easily, so I think this will see play in any hunter archetype. (Hard to say if it will make SMOrc -- but maybe we'll see a return to the "face-hybrid" hunters)
To the people who are complaining that this is too RNG and doesn't give hunter good card draw:
Hunter is intentionally not supposed to have good card draw.
Each class has a weakness. Druid should never have good removal. Paladin should never have good direct damage spells. Hunter should never have good card draw.

This is a good, balanced card.
If hunter's weakness is card draw, then everyone has to stop complaining about hunters going face from turn 5 on.
For those saying this is a good card, my question to you is: Why arent you playing cultmaster at the moment? Cultmaster is significantly more versatile, gives you a body, draws from your deck, and isnt strictly worse than the highly underrated ball of spiders. The overall positive reaction to this card is beyond puzzling to me. Im not even a pessimist about most cards.

I am playing it, as are lots of mid-range hunter decks.

Unleash the Hounds + Infest? seems legit
Have some cuteness overload.

I always liked Ball of Spider but never played because 6 mana for is pretty horrible.
This is a much more reasonable card.
A better more versatile ball of spiders
This card is sick, glad they are finally giving some love to Hunters.
Face hunter can turn into midrange if they start to lose steam - this card will be insane in both constructed and Arena
T9 Ball of Spiders + Infest for the lolz.
Not good but would be pretty funny xD
Feign Death after this is godlike.

Unleash the Hounds with this card to follow up? Neat.
Something witty.
