For 8 mana? Really? Three Animal Companions=9 mana for three cards. This=8mana for one card. What is this? Value hunter?
That's a very poor way of thinking about it. Each of those beasts is worth at least 4 mana stat wise. This is like getting 12 to 13 mana worth of minions for 8 mana. It's a VERY strong card.
I know that the value doesn't exactly add up like that. But that just strengthens my point: 8 mana is ridiculously low, and the fact that the cost is even lower than playing the three original cards (hence, three vs one card) is also completely ridiculous, notwithstanding the value you're actually getting.

I'm just another one of those. You know, those who do things. Things that need to be done by those that do these things in order to do those things that don't do these things themselves. Has the word 'things' lost meaning to you already?

8 mana is definitely low. This is dr boom,shredder value if not more..i believe the beasts animal companion summons might get nerved thats why this so strong but gues well have too wait and see.
Probably a very strong card. It's nice to see very strong hunter cards which can't be used in super-aggro decks. It's very likely that midrange hunter will use this card. There isn't a must-have card in midrange hunter after 6 mana (Highmane) anyways. Sometimes this card can be used to outright kill your opponent or to get favourable trades (if you have something on board or managed to setup something -> Thaurissan/Thundra Rhino/whatever) and sometimes this card can just bring you back into the game if you are slightly behind. It is no board clean -> you won't come back if you are far behind but if you are in a small disadvantage this card will probably work wonders. (more than a single Ragnaros or King Krush)
This card, together with Infest also seems like Blizzard wants a zooish midrange beast deck which swarms the board and doesn't run out of steam. (like a slower Zoolock)

Who can take your trash out? Stomp it down for you? Shake the plastic bag and do the twisty thingy, too?
Could this be the expansion that beast hunter could actually be a thing? Will this be the card that every player will dread when fighting a hunter as right now it's Every fin from the paladin murloc deck, Could this end up being a beast version?
Only the release week will tell us how good this card actually plays out, maybe this could be a catch up for rush or a card to make a control/midrange hunter deck.
This card defenately fits in every hunter deck including face. Some times at turn 8 you run out of steam and you need something on board. Well this card gives you exactly what you need. I will surely use it for sure. The only question is, 1 or 2 copies of it?
0. Face hunter decks will not run this. You have no clue what you are talking about.
Face hunters generally don't run anything above 3 mana except sometimes leeroy. If you're going to get to turn 8 as face hunter there's a good chance you already lost, the stats of this on the board won't change much. Your 5 damage can be gotten by a ton of other cards that aren't dead 95% of the time. If you start throwing in late game board control cards, you aren't playing face hunter anymore.
I feel like the people saying this is a face hunter card have no understanding of that deck. You run out of resources as face hunter, that's the nature of the deck. You don't try to stabilize late game because you can never achieve that anyhow. If you draw this in early game as face hunter you are almost guaranteed to lose, as face hunter needs to use all it's available cards quickly to push damage. Most face hunter decks win before or around turn 8, things go to hell after that as big minions you can't deal with come on the board.
The 5 damage is pointless since you can get 5 damage with almost every other face hunter card combined with the hero power for less mana. So now we talk about board state. You have an empty board and they have legendaries and you use this as face hunter. Yah good luck with that.
Considering the mana cost and the portrait i bet this card is summon all animal companions...100%
This is an amazing card. As someone who likes playing Warlock I can only hope we get a class card this good that doesn't make us discard our entire hand or make us take 8 points in damage.

I feel like "Stampede" would be a more fitting name.
I made this card for a Card Design Competition a while back.. lol.

Hunters are crying tears of joy, knowing that it's
Always Huffer
I agree!
OH SHIT !!!
it's always huffer (then leokk, then misha :P)
Animal Companion was only 3 mana because of the RNG and unreliability. Now, this has no RNG, so this should be at least 10 mana.
Probably a very strong card. It's nice to see very strong hunter cards which can't be used in super-aggro decks. It's very likely that midrange hunter will use this card.

Stomp it down for you?
Shake the plastic bag
and do the twisty thingy, too?
based on the picture I expected something like this:
wait a second... Animal Companion reads: "Summon a random Beast Companion"... so shouldn't this card read "Summon all three Beast Companions"?
Could this be the expansion that beast hunter could actually be a thing? Will this be the card that every player will dread when fighting a hunter as right now it's Every fin from the paladin murloc deck, Could this end up being a beast version?

and u get the dark companion as bonus
