I think this would fit nicely in midrange hunter as a possible finisher/draw engine. It basically fixes the draw problem that late game midrange hunter has.
unless theres a sudden surge of 2 health minions i doubt this will get played in any current archetype, and control hunter has a loooong way to go to be viable
Control Hunter? Maybe it might finally happen with this giving them needed carddraw, and Lifesteal giving them the needed healing and sustain. It's a long shot, but it might work.
This card is unplayable in any existing Hunter deck. Savannah Highmane fully fills Hunter's 6 drop needs, and existing Hunter decks need Steady Shot in the late game to secure those last few damage points for lethal.
Will this deck create a new hunter deck? Well... not if Dinomancy, The Marsh Queen, Stampede, and Grievous Bite couldn't. Hunter Can’t Do Cute Tricks™. We'll have to see what the other reveals are but don't hold your breath.
This will go a pretty long way to making control hunter viable, since it is solving the biggest issue of control hunter, which is consistent card generation. That being said, the archetype will only be viable with more cards than just this, so we'll have to see what else they release. But I think it's good on its own.
What effect it has over Alleria? She turns into an undead orc?
Lame, if you ask me.
Instead of a specific hero + random name, it should be something like "Deathstalker" using hunters as example, with the same effects and a different art for each hero. Should not be a problem to add another art for the several alternative heroes we have today. But they just created an avoidable annoyiance.
Otherwise is a waste of money to acquire a new skin if you wanna play the new hero cards
Control hunter as of now is inconsistent, no boardclears no card draw no healing
Top deck is cheat
You think you can fool me Blizzard with your fancy card border, 5 Armor, and obviously worse Hero Power than Dinomancy, but I am not stupid :p

There are some pretty OP options in beasts <5 cost.
Carrion Grub + Angry Chicken. a 4 cost 3/6 with enrage +5 attack....
dispatch kodo + Duskboar. a 6 cost 6/5 that deals 6 damage on summon.
Knuckles + Duskboar, 7 cost 7/8 that hits the enemy hero as well as what it attacks
young dragonhawk + stranglethorn tiger. 6 cost 6/6/ windfury stealth
Dispatch kodo + Bittertide hydra, a 9 cost 10/14 which deals 10 damage on summon. Basically Pyroblast + huge threat. (obvious Volcano target tho...)
But Dirty Rat exists.
"What have you got there,
PinocchioMalygos?"doubt anyone would hold onto a dirty rat to turn 10.

It's not bad provided you don't die turn 4, just like Galvadon!
Depressed hunter player that has given up. Good riddance.
If it's not a spell - then i assume it can't get counterspelled?

The way to think about it is similar to the hero power in some tavern brawls which gives card/legendary minion/etc...
That works, but only in a control heavy deck - which Hunter is not.

Forgot about Quests already?
