People say you can play this card is ok because you can play it on turn 6 or 7 with your 1 drops.

Because hunter doesnt have ANY better options to play on 6 or 7.

 

**cough....savannah highmane...cough**

 Savannah Highmane doesn't get me closer to cantrips attached to Raptor bodies, or a 5 mana 8/8 beast. This card does. So in that sense it's absolutely better than Savannah Highmane on 6 or 7.

And like I pointed out earlier, you can't play Savannah Highmane on 5. Whether Highmane is a better play on 6 is debatable, but without pulling some shenanigans you're always going to be able to play this guy sooner and put it into a slot that Hunter really doesn't have very good options in.

 You cannot play carnassa on 5 unless you are going second, or unless hunter gets some 1 drops that draw cards, which is unlikely. Going first turn 4 you have only drawn a total of 6 cards, and assuming all are 1 drops, the bst case is to play this on turn 6. What is better, playing a 1 drop, a 2 drop, a 3 drop etc. all on curve then dropping a highmane, or playing nothing but 1 drops turns 1-4 and skipping ur 5th turn to play carnassa on 6.

 Would Alley Cat not count as two, or is there a distinction between "play" and "summon" for these purposes?

Still waiting for everybody to change their vote to 'Meta-defining!' rofl. But seriously, now with those newly revealed cards I believe we can say this card will be less bad than most of us initially thought, and were not afraid of yelling too early.
