Very strange card. If you summon 2 it's pretty good tho since each of the animal companions is worth more than 3 mana + you have the bundling effect. Strange that they're pushing a no minion archetype. Only way to use this that I can think of is a Barnes Y'Shaarj deck after you played Barnes. This combined with secrets and the new spellstone might work. Not at all convinced tho
With AC costing 3 and CotW costing 9, to be fair this should cost 6 and have no condition... or maybe keep the condition and cost (much?) less. Or even keep cost and condition but give a bigger payoff
The condition is so strict, that it would require to build a specific deck around the card, and even then it might be just meme-worthy
To make things worst, even if you build a deck with no minions (or very few and hope to have them pulled out by the time you play this), you could have minions placed in your deck mid-game by your opponent (Weasel Tunneler, Psychic Scream, maybe others I can't think of atm)
In perspective
This seems so bad in and of itself, it's hard not to have a feeling that some new card(s) will come, with a synergy which could make TMS at least remotely playable
A lot of players have asked for Hunter archetypes & playstyles different from aggro/smorc. This might be a step in that direction... IF, like said above, some significant support will come (maybe OP legendary weapon and/or spells?)
Many of us like to make fun of Blizzard, but come on! Can they really be so incompetent, or evil and hating a class so much (a class that already is in a not so good spot, btw)? Let's hope not.
lol just realised this it not random so i bet you can discover chose which one, so this is 2x huffer for 6 mana... only explanation why this is so overcosted, it has to be chosable which one you get.
So if im right and you can actually chose which one youll get this is actually pretty strong, its 8/8 taunt for 6 or 8 charge damage for six which is much better leeroy imo.
All under the assumption that this is not random but due to wording it should not be random.

It is definitely random. If it were selectible it would say "discover" or "of your choice". See Justicar's upgrade to Shaman for an example.

Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
So if you sacrifice having a deck without minions in Hunter (which, you know... they are the best thing about that class) you get the awesome reward of getting TWO Animal Companions for Six Mana, but instead of using two cards, you need only ONE card. Now that is what I call value and worth the creative deck building!
Anyway, cool to know that hunter can now play 6 mana Animal Companion if they need more of them. Worst thing is, if it was just straight up summon two animal companion, it still wouldn't be played, but at least would have been decent enough to have in your collection and not dust it. I am sure I am going to get 5 copies of this card.
This card shows that Blizzard is afraid to give Hunter any decent cards or even introduce a unique play style. The lack of creativity from Blizzard for Hunter is not a coincidence. Pick any Hunter card and it's simply a redesign of a vanilla Hunter card. And this one is redesign with a twist, it is garbage!
When Blizzard is so afraid of ranks 20s and their play experience, then why not do something about it? Instead of shafting a class for 2 and half years?
Hunter will never get a unique play style, besides meme decks or be a top tier class ever again. Blizzard doesn't have a the balls to do it.
If only you could choose which companion... It would probably be still bad.
I get that not all cards can be t1.
But releasing such bad cards, to a class that is already in a weak spot, is quite offensive.
Chances for Hunter to get past the decent but boring and forced upon t2-ish Midrange setup are weaker and weaker...
When you see cards like this you really wonder how design is made ...
It's so obvious for everybody that this is bad.

OK, more or less everything about this card has been said already... trying to recap for those who don't want to read 12 pages worth of posts:
Am I missing something?
I really hope one of the designers explains the thought process around this card and why they think people would actually want to play it.
Might be the worst, most pointless card ever. This isn’t even memey

Hahahahahaa....

We can make a joke deck for this ? :D

this card is not as bad as every one is trying to make it out to be
Playing control hunter before it was cool

WTF is anyone also only seeing this glitch? It is only showing a picture of a 100 dust for me!
Wow, Blizzard really hates Hunter now.
Before you diss Blizzard, keep in mind that they plan multiple expansions ahead. So maybe not for K&C.
