This card rocks. Unfortunately, there are only few good deathrattle cards left in the card pool - Sylvanas, Cairne, Leper Gnome and Loot Hoarder. And Savannah Highmane as class-specific for hunters. I'm not convinced that hunter will be playing deathrattle themed decks yet.
She's even pretty good on 7 if you use her to trigger a highmane or other 6 drop and play a quickshot or hero power. Card seems awesome. Has a good body and it impacts the board immediately. Hunter is getting a lot of love in this set.
It's slightly worse than vanila stats and has a conditional effect that requires you to run mostly disadvantaged minions. I don't see why people call it "very good", it's playable, even though it's a beast too.
Can u explain how it's below vanilla stats when it has 11 stats for 5 mana?

By your logic, ice rager has vanilla stats.
Ice Rager does have vanilla stats, they're just poorly distributed. How on earth does this card have anything other than vanilla stats? It's literally the highest statted 5 drop in the game if you ignore the cards with massive drawbacks like Fel Reaver. It's a reverse Pit Fighter.
I always thought that vanilla stats mean the optimal distribution as well. I don't know where to look up the correct definition.
I don't think it being a 6/5 over a 5/6 would be enough to disregard it anyway. It's the equivalent of saying a 3/2 doesn't pass the vanilla test, or a 4/3. Optimal really depends on the situation, there's certainly times where you'd play a 4/3 or a 6/5 over the equivalent.
As a Hunter fan, I wanted a charge minion that ignores taunt. Or at least give hunter good tempo deathrattles for early game, so we can continue playing aggressive midrange decks with ending the curve on Highmane. Buuh Blizz, I dont wanna put 7+ Mana cards in my Deck and play control! If i would like doing that Id play warrior...

Good or not its really boring and has not flavour at all. A giant wasp known by his terrible poison and for ignoring taunts its translated into a deathrattle sinergy.
Yeah no. That was some bullshit spread by people who didn't play in vanilla. Huhuran wasn't known for ignoring taunts. Every single boss back then ignored taunts. Every one of them did. It wasn't until Na xx did things change slightly. So she was known for her poison and that's it. Oh and the fact she would kill groups pretty damn quickly so I'd say deathrattle works for her. You'd rather have another Maexxna? Cause that's the only way to make her known for poison in hearthstone.
You really lack imagination. There are several ways to represent poisons in hearthstone. For example she could have added two poison cards to your hand that did something (for example deal two damage). She could have made your hero power stronger while she was in play (due to poison), or she could have done aoe damage to the enemy board in some way. Plenty of ways.
Deathrattle, on the other hand, feels completely unrelated.
Okay sorry I meant there was no legit way to make poison work that blizzard would actually do. They're not going to make a card as batshit as huhuran making the hunter hero power do even more damage. They're trying to make face Hunter less of a thing. Ideas like that go counter point.

There were many tauntable bosses.
And luckily we all not share your lack of creativity, there are tons of ways to represent Huhuran's poison volley.
Almost every single boss ignored taunt. Very few like the drakes in BWL didn't because their fight centered around taunt. And you say luckily except it would appear you're unlucky since blizz seems to agree with my line of thinking.
I really like this card! If you play faceless summoner before hand your opponent has to make the choice of either killing the 1/1 and then facing the 5/5 (if they have anything to deal with it) or face the possibility of having it activated. It could force them to waste removal spells etc (I heavily believe silence will be completely nerfed so I'm not taking it into consideration)
I've always loved the hunter class. I've played some of the funnest hearthstone decks with hunter. Obviously, due to face hunter decks, the class as a whole has gotten a cancerous reputation. I hope these new hunter cards, as well as standard mode, can bring into the light more mid-range or control type hunter decks, that would make me very happy. It's unfortunate that standard is losing Feign Death, but I think deathrattle hunter can still be fun to play.
Good card but this is by far some of the worst character identity. Nothing about Princess huhuran uses deathrattle or even other minions during the encounter, WTF is this shit?

You are not prepared!

I said "slightly" after all..

something tells me that next expansion, death rattle hunter will be OP

I can see this card working very well in both wild and standard format. Copying a single mad scientist is enough value.
Maybe this card will be the first hunter legendary to see some real competitive play

Great art can never be created without great suffering.

Dos the death rattle get removed or will it still process again upon actual death?
Wasn't that art for a Rogue card..?
Oops...
