Because I'm not sure if this is a good or trash secret yet! It should be good with freezing trap, and if that's the case I will eventually cut 1 crushing walls and 1 multi-shot for 2 wandering monster
I also need to add Y'shaarj in there.
I think you should cut one Grand Archivist for that to add consistency, but damn that is a deck I must try!
Spell/secret hunter is bad against control and non-minion centric decks, because it can't apply early game pressure. But it's actually good vs. minion based aggro/spam, tempo or midrange decks, because of their reactive early game spells and secrets. Deadly Shot, Unleash the Hounds, Grievous Bite, Explosive Trap / Freezing Trap..
So, if minion based decks are part of the KaC Meta, full Spell/Secret Hunter could counter some specific decks (RIP against Priest tho). To My Side!'s role would be stabilizing (2x 4/4 Taunt or 2x 4 damage), applying pressure and/or "winning more" and i think it would do a good job at all of them (kind of like CotW before nerf - able to swing the board in your favor or seal the game).
But only if you could choose the Animal Companions you get from this card. If not, this card is more than unplayable and deserves the "Dust it!" rating it is getting right now.
Personally i hope this card becomes atleast playable. Maybe the Hunter weapon will be good enough to turn Spell Hunter with To My Side! into a halfway decent deck, because i really like the theme of this card. Also this wouldn't be a pure SmorC deck like almost all Hunter decks in the past, which is nice.
(Also Hemet, Jungle Hunter maybe? But Hunter kind of lacks draw for a Hemet Deck..)
The biggest thing here is this cards is litterly worst in every way than other cards in the same set emerald spell stone is superior to it in the same set for less mana. Oh I played 2 secrets and got 24 points worth of stats vs oh i have 0 minions.... i got 14 points of stats and payed 1 extra mana.
And the winner is Emerald Spell stone....
The 2 Best hunter cards in the set are the stone and Katrina...are they good enough to out value what other classes got ... no hunter got boned if that legendary isnt amazeballs and those 3 commons arnt like the best commons hunters seen in a long time.
Legendary bow playing free secrets or some jazz with like 3 common beasts or removal spells that are just a+ or some crazy draw mechanic to redeam hunter.
Its shocking that it has this requirement. It just makes sense given the other two animal companions cards that this should cost 6. What in the world am I missing?
Can't help but laugh at some non-ironic claims that some sort of minion-less Hunter might end up being playable.
Anyway, this card is an insult to Hunter players. Even the classes with much stronger spells can't afford to play a deck without minions, let alone poor Rexxar. If you want class to be dog feces tier, might as well remove it from the game. I mean, Crushing Walls first, now this? Is legendary weapon going to be some Cursed Blade level garbage as well? The class is already in a pretty bad spot and it receives some of the worst cards that this game has ever seen. Mind blowing.

Your missing, that animal copanion is random, and cotw cant summon a double. There are many worlds were I would prefer double huffer/misha over cotw tripple even if it would cost 9 this however just costs 6.
So is there confirmation yet if this effect is random or do you get to choose the minion? Because it doesn't say random. Not that it would really help the card. It would go from being "Dust it" to "Ehh Dust it I guess".
How are so many people missing the value of this card? If you are running no minions you are probably already running two animal companions and 2 Call of the Wilds. Then add this to your 6 drop curve for another 2 companions. This card will definately see play. If you play this in a deck that isnt built for it, of course its bad.
This looks super crappy... but... knowing blizzard, this card is telling us something about the legendary weapon for hunter!
I think warrior and hunter weapons will be the best ones seeing as they are saving them for last. I hope...
Nah, they're not even trying to make decent hunter cards. If this card always summoned 2 animal companions for 6 mana it would probably suck anyway since you can play highmane on 6. I just hate this bullishit. They're keeping making 3 and 6 drop for hunter that are WORSE than all that already exist. Hunter will suck this season too. Good job blizzard, keep printing good cards for the top tier classes and shit for the classes that struggle. Good job. Nice one.
Setting up bullshit nerfs for animal companion, highmane, and eaglehorn.
This card is all about curve value bewteen 3 and 9 and of course deck building circumstance. Hunter has secrets, direct damage and a hero power to drive early game damage which has always made it a prime candidate for a solid control class but they keep cycling worthy cards out before it all comes together. You run 2 animal companions, two To My Sides, and two call of the wilds and you have equal board presence to most other control decks. (The rng is certainly an issue) but with Deathstalker Rexxar for late game (also rng) things could shape up solid. No one can accurately judge the synergy of this card without play testing.

Fun > Meta
Lord of the dust.
this is simple, you can run a burn hunter? Just if you can relieve that all animal companions are always huffers, you get some cards to Smorc with
So do you get to choose the companion and is it always 2x of that companion? If so, then card is good... else bad!

I like that they’re trying to do stuff for yogg & load but it’s too late, lock and load is gone and yogg got nerfed
Well, I guess the idea behind this card is that it would be usable after "recruiting" beasts out of your deck.
So is there confirmation yet if this effect is random or do you get to choose the minion? Because it doesn't say random. Not that it would really help the card. It would go from being "Dust it" to "Ehh Dust it I guess".

Free 100 Dust or if you have no dust uninstall HS
