CotW was typically face damage. 5 GRANTED face damage, with bonus board.
Kathrena will not be consistent as finisher, at all.
Pre-nerf CotW and Kathrena just share similarities about board presence, but that's it.
Not comparable in their usage.
The struggle with Kathrena is less about how you can/can't stack the deck to optimize her and more about how alley cat into crackling razormaw into a houndmaster will still lead to more wins than any turn 8 play with Kathrena.
You still run alleycat+razormaw+houndmaster. Check out the screen in main post
you play her in a new deck with charged devilsaurs and highmanes for maximum potency then this card is bonkers.. you need to rework the hunter early game, which blizzard stated they will help with this expansion..
on the other hand looking at crushing walls I am not optimistic.
there's a current memey deck "egg hunter" you can fit her there adding those late game options of charged devilsaurs and stuff and just call it "devilsaur hunter" katherina is the finisher summoning chargers.
Tempo decks are not aggro decks, they're board control decks that aim to end the game earlier, if you're playing a tempo deck like an aggro deck, well, you're going to lose.
People comparing this to CotW (8) are mad. That card gave huge tempo, was consistent, and the meta was totally different. CotW gave all it's value now, not spread over 3 turns. You are not guaranteed to get the deathrattle of Kat at all.
Kat excludes the use of some of the best minions (Razormaw or Grandma for example) unless you want an overcosted Faceless Summoner. Summoning a 3/x is not okay for that mana, nor at that stage in the game.
this card is for another type of deck. It's for Devilsaur Egg abuse deck, with stiched trackers, deathrattle triggers, mb few elementals (fireflies, tar creepers, etc) and few huge beasts. (idealy crush, dred and 2xhighmanes or charged devilsaurs)
But then there is another problem: you should draw Kat before you got this huge beasts in hand, because they are few, and they must remain in deck in the moment Kat is played.
Also Tracking can fuck up this game plan heavily (if you have to choose between Kat and 2 huge beasts)
The more i think of it the less appealing this legendary seems to me. Swap King Dread is okay legendary for hunter, but this one - I have serious doubts.
I've built a deck to expain my purpose: LINK . A solid deck, with no exploited mechanics. Only a base.
Cobalt Scalebanes are not core cards, but i like them. You can consider something else.
I really do not think a Control Hunter is as far out as people think at the moment. You can mess around with slow hunter builds in wild with surprising success, but cards like Mad Scientist and Quick Shot are missing from standard and they help smooth the early game over a lot. Still I think we will have a couple months here before the next rotation in which a version of Control Hunter isn't horrible, but definitely not close to a S tier deck.
An example of what I think can work is included below. Wandering Monster is only in there because I want to test how often does it equal the value of Cat Trick since it is less likely to dilute the beast pool to resummon from. This is the same reason Animal Companion and Call of the Wild are not included.
