Would be a very good card if Hunter had access to more reliable draws. Discounts are pretty strong but with nothing to discount its value goes down the drain.
Was going to say the same, you've beaten me on time. Discounts are nice but Corpse Widow aggravates Hunter's draw issues...
unless some of the last cards to be revealed will address this?
You are right. But look at the cards you are citing: Except mechwarper, they all do something immediately. They give you a discount when you played them. And with mechwarper the turn 1 minions the respective decks had ( Clockwork Gnome and Cogmaster ) protected it and it is cheap enough to combo it later with cards like Piloted Shredder . And 5 mana is a lot for comboing cards.
But yes, I am maybe too sceptical. Maybe this can consistently survive and there are enough deathrattle cards to get the value from Corpse Widow .
Now I don't know if Blizzard is pushing secret Hunter or deathrattle control hunter. Pretty strong card, though. I think that deathrattle Hunter is now a thing, finally.
it doesn't give any answer to current threat. yes, you can empty your hand on turn 6 with highmain and 2-3 low cost drops, but then you will get some board clear and stay with nothing. I hardly remember when hunter required to play 3-4 minions on turn6 but hadn't mana for that
Really bad card for current hunter archetypes. Maybe can be playable with Kaine and neutral deathrattles, but also very doubtly
Oh god people in this forums really don't have a single idea about the game seriously they are giving slow cards without a single control card most of the cards are trash.

almost everyone here (except me, which I am going to be nearly 100% right) is completely wrong about how strong cards will be.

Something immediately? Like play a free minion or two? :)
Seriously, I think the only downside here is the high cost. And it works well with Deathstalker Rexxar - which solves the draw problems that Hunter has always had.
Yay, deathrattle Hunter finally becoming viable (I suffered so much trying to make it viable)!
Also as someone else already pointed out: deathrattle weapon incoming!

For a while now Stranglethorn Tiger has been the staple 5-drop for Hunter. Is this better than Tiger? Maybe in the slower decks.

OMG BLIZ
BORING

TOO SLOW
They didn't give a single card to increase survivablity of Hunter what the fuck is wrong with TEAM DUMB

Played on turn 5 this is prob a instant win against a priest deck.
They cant remove it and the hunter drops there minions.
heavy tempo swing on turn 5. with good 1-2 cost deathrattle minions
But what if you play this and quest? Cuz the minions aren't cost-1 anymore.

4 mana Highmanes... But what do you do with the other 2 mana? Hero power? Kind of pointless.... Kodo is better.
