Not so sure how it will fare in standard even though it summons a beast.
Are you sure? It's a pretty bad turn 1 if you start and unless your opponent has thrown a 2/1 without stealth (pretty uncommon in arena) it's also unplayable as well as follow-up. It's an Elven Archer with the beast tag that can combo with Lock and Load and spell damage.
Nope, not sure at all. The expansion hype is what's talking here. I'm thinking it as a 1-mana ping for hunters that also summons a beast and makes other beast-related cards more attracive in arena. This card looks much better for construced though from the combo you mentioned.

Not amazing, but definitely not bad. Will see some play early in the season. Mastiff is a beast, and that's a big plus.Even late in the game, this is 1 damage, plus a Kill Command enabler.
Mogg-Saron, Malygos, lock and load, Ram Wrangler, Houndmaster and kill command just got a pretty big buff. One mana to help proc a lot of those cards with a beast. Lock and Load gets another two spells and spell damage Malygos gets more damage. Also two more spells in a lock and load deck with Mogg-Saron!?!? I really like this card!
I think this is solid. As said, it's a good pair up with Hunter's Mark for cheap removal, and leaves you a token that's a beast. It's never a wise idea to leave beasts on board against a Hunter, so it'd just gonna make it that much harder. Looks like Hunter has a lot of ways now to buff smaller minions and kind of make a zoo beast deck. Toss an N'Zoth in there for late game and you're good to go.
I'm going to jump on board the malygos lock and load (and perhaps Yogg Saron) train here.
Don't forget either that lock and load got a HUGE boost with call of the wild! and this guys is great for control with hound master enabler, which is what control wants.
Edit: in addition with cheap spells to help control the board this makes a malygos type deck better... with Rogue if you have to control the board too much you run out of combo pieces for malygos... lock and load can prevent that occurance. Defintely something I'm going to try out.

So, how about 2 of this 2 elven archers and Ghaz'rilla. Put thaurissan in it, some mechs for the invisible sparepart and have a nice day.
Only good combo I can think of.
Add in the Arcane Shots as well.
Malygos Hunter anyone?

Just an Elven Archer.

Goes really well with lock & load. Otherwise idk.
It's funny to see how many people forget Elven Archer is a card. Still, the beast tag and the fact it's a spell definitely help this card a lot.
I dont see this fitting in any serious constructed hunter deck.
smorc card ?? doesnt see any other deck to pay it with expect with pair with hunter's mark

Isn't this the same thing as Elven Archer? The only difference is the beast tag.
Maybe... nah nah nah nah
Face hunter?
