This will be more of a turn 10 BM play for lower rank ladder. But it will be nice to have an 8/8 as a potential card from Spiteful Summoner rather then C'Thun or Yogg-Saron, Hope's End.
Given a powerful value card: It's too slow to see any play. Murloc pally beats you on turn 4, what is this supposed to do?
Given a powerful tempo card: How does this card beat cubelock? Won't see play.
Given a unique and difficult to evaluate tool: This doesn't go into any decks I know of already. Terrible card lol.
Given a powerful effect that has been seen before: Why can't Blizzard give us some creative for once? This probably won't see play because I don't like the flavor.
I will never understand what you want, but you always know how to make me chuckle.

You forgot "dies to BGH" and "how does this impact the board??? 10 mana 8/8 lol good luck with that"

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
After seeing tons of boring releases (a billion rush cards...) this card is a breath or fresh air. I climbed to rank 5 with cube hunter which was a control/combo deck that easily saw t10 almost every game in wild so all of this “hunter doesn’t live to t10” talk is crap. Not every card is made for OP t1 decks. These are the cards that some of us build ridiculous decks around to actually enjoy the game instead of copy-pasting the first strong deck and letting others do all the thinking for us.
Blizzard released this because a previous 9 mana 8/8 beast with charge was amazing in Hunter. It was so good that for 3+ years it saw tremendous pla... oh wait >.>
Blizzard has no idea what to do with Hunters. Before this expansion it was a try for Spell Hunter. Looks like they have completely abandoned that thought. Now it's Dragon Hunter time! With... ONE Dragon! HELL YEAH!
10 mana 8/8 "Guess if you will survive the next turn".
Amazing!
No card draw, no card generation. WTF will this guy buff? Hunting Mastiff? For what? A meme or luls? Blizzard no longer takes Hunter seriously. It should be obvious by now. Hunter seems like the class least focused on.
Half the kit looks like it will support some sort of rush Hunter to control the board with minions. Then they release this guy. Every time it's a half assed playstyle. Aimed to promote a playstyle but ends up being completely different since the community is creative enough to come with a decent deck Tier 2 or 3 deck because Blizzard's intended design was too crap.
Anyways, Hunter will have a Greymane or Baku deck this expansion and it will be decent, until they face the Greymane or Baku Lock, who will laugh in your face.
What's the problem with it being a Dragon? Mage got a Beast this expansion. (Vex Crow) Does that mean Mage is now a Beast class? Obviously not. This just makes some interesting deckbuilding with The Curator. No more, no less.
Also, archetypes can pop up even if they only get a couple cards support. Spell Hunter was a complete success, and is still considered a tier 1-2 deck. It got a a total of two cards. A set should have cards supporting a variety of different play styles. Couple cards for Secret Hunter, Midrange Hunter, Control Hunter, etc.
Last time they went all in on an archetype, we had Freeze Shaman. We all know how that turned out.
ok spell hunter is control hunter, so hunter can have decent removal and live till later game. and if this card cant make control hunter work than nothing can. dont sleep on this guy, hes huge
This card could be really good, if there is a deck it ends up fitting in. I always have a huge laugh when people say cards are trash tier, as I remember so many people calling Cube a trash card :D
As someone who plays control hunter I am fun to see it get some new tools. The weakness of this card is that the current main win condition is play deathstalker and stall, so it will force the deck to change a bit. Hunter does have the draw to support this though, and we have multiple neutral healing cards this expansion so far.
Edit : actually I have an idea how good this is, it's fucking insanely good, but won't bother explaining why because most players are genuine retards who always ask for smorc cards in hunter, as if hunter doesn't deserve multiple archetypes like every other class.
Please enlighten us, oh wise one. How is the 10 mana 8/8 that requires you to have a large hand size of large/charge minions and be alive on turn 10 as a hunter a good card?
No. I'm wise enough not to enlighten the hunter fools.
lolololol, hunter card, doesn't go face, bad card, control meme, kappa, lolololol. Nice evaluation.
The only high tier hunter deck in the entire history of Hearthstone who's win condition was not either applying pressure to face, playing sticky minions, beast synergy, secrets, or a combination of the four is Giants Hunter in wild.
ALL other hunter decks require constant tempo and board pressure. Hunter can't draw, it can't clear the board, and it has trouble recovering lost tempo. You can play your Stitched Tracker + Emeriss + Leeroy Jenkins meme if you want, but don't claim that we're all too stupid to ascend to your level of intellect.
Why do you care so much about high tier ? I guess you are the average HS player who cannot win with any other deck ? That guy who barely makes it to 50% WR with cubelock and tempo mage ? That guy who says Warrior is unplayable since 3 expansions and ignores people who climb ladder with warrior ? My level of intellect allows me to ignore tiers and build whatever I want and make it work. And you are utterly wrong about hunter card draw, board clear and tempo loss.
Used spoiler tag for space
I care about high tier in this case because that's what this thread is about. To rate a card from meta-defining to dust.
I don't get why you make assumptions about me and others. I'm a wild legend player who enjoys tier 1/2 decks or counter-meta decks because winning is fun to me. My winrate is fine, thanks though.
If you want to ignore tier and play what you want, that's totally fine. Just don't come in here being an asshat to everyone for thinking this card is bad for the way they want to play the game.
For card draw, hunters have Tracking, Stitched Tracker, Call Pet, and Cult Master + Unleash the Hounds. Plus neutral draw. So their draw is objectively bad, I don't know how you can defend it. Their board clears aren't horrible, but they're still far inferior to most other classes.

If this had taunt I think it might be playable but a 10 mana card that does nothing especially with a class like hunter will never be played. Great meme card though if you can pull it off.

huuge zombeasts? Hunter always has trouble with draw and generally doesn't really play lategame except some odd nzoth hunters in wild. I wonder how this will work out. if it is not too slow.
Maybe wild Cthun hunter will make an apearance.
Whoa man, it didn't even cross my mind, great idea.

I don't care if it's crap. I'm using it in my Control Hunter.

not considering this card particularly good but it may be drawn by The Curator ...
Charge and taunt are insane with this.
