Just realised this card does not work with Stitched Tracker, much like keleseth. Downgrading my opinion from 'doubt it works' to overhyped and bad. Consider what the hunter class likes to do, this does not fit, at all.
I mean, you could probably have said the same thing about Pirate Warrior at one point in time too. When enough support is released, decks are formed regardless of what a class usually does. That said, I, like you, am not 100% sold on this card. Slow Hunter still needs a little more support.
It will be interesting to see what happens to hunter after this expansion. Hunter doesn't have any major board clear, heal, or draw these types of cards look strong, but it will take a bit to make them work.
Will the meta slow down so much that beast hunter can run this and actually draw the buffed cards? Emeriss and Dire Frenzy are both cards that strike me as slower cards. It would be really fun to be able to play them.
I think this is way worse than Faldorei Strider since Hunter can't draw. In a vacuum you will always prefer Houndmaster to this. The only way this can possibly be better is if you do this on a one-drop and then draw them with Tolvir Warden. Or, but seems worse than the Tolvir option, with recruit shenanigans with Kathrena.
I think Tolvir is the way to go, otherwise just play Houndmaster. 4/3 on board immediatly is way more valuable than a bunch of boosted minions with a 1/7 chance of being drawn + played, especially in a deck that aim to finish before turn 10.
Oh hey there's this complete other half of the card that lets you play it on a non aggressive beast, but who am I kidding, aggro face hunter is the only archetype that will ever exist for Hunter.
Petition to change the card to: "Give a friendly beast that has Charge"

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
As a colorblind human I can't tell the color difference between Druid, Hunter, Rogue or Warrior cards, or Rare and Epic gemstones. New spell releases are annoying because they don't have the class patterns around the card art. Small nuisance, but just throwing it out there for my colorblind brethren.
In re the card, I really like it. I can't wait to try some Kathrena, Stitched Tracker, Tol'Vir Warden-type shenanigans with this card. I'm hoping for some additional, perhaps, "more traditional", card draw options for Hunter but we probably will not see it.
I have no idea how powerful it will but I don't care about tiers. Give me a 50% win deck with some cool cards and I'll have some fun. This fits into that with the possibility of being a staple tool in more competitive slower Hunter decks should one exist. We shall see.
EDIT: Just realized that this won't work with Stitched Tracker. Regardless, I will still try it out with other tools.

Sorry to hear. I did not intended to make fun of colorblindness, just to point out that this card appeared clear to me. This being said, this is a card I'm looking forward to play, sort of reminding of Gang Up on steroids in its mechanic. Let the hunt begins!
Hunter gets good cards. But I hope we see a card draw support. It is not easy to have it. I mosty play Big Spell Mage lately and I have an Acolyte of Pain. This is a good card for mage because I can ping it for recycle with my hero power but even as a mage it is not that easy. You have to draw it. You have to play it. He has to survive. And you have to ping it. Same goes for the cards with card draw battlecries. It is not as stable as you think. With Coldlight Oracle rotationg it will even be harder. Warlock gets healing after healing. Let's give hunter some card draw now Blizzard.
So this is why starving buzzard died. This is a really good card. But adds cards to your deck and makes it less consistent. Which is the trade off, but on the right minion would definitely put some major pressure on your opponent.
This makes me want to try Quest Hunter again. Buff a one-coster on T4, Tol'vir Warden on T5 to pull them right out of your deck. All while building your quest.
Over 70% of the people replying think this card will be played?
Guys. Go look at Strider for Rogue. That card is twice as good and maxes at tier 3.... in a class with tons of draw.
This card is 1/10 dust.
Strider is nice and fair card, anything like that is good for the game, don't see play because the deck lose with any hope for warlock with insanely OP, totally broken, completely unfair, retarded overpowered, beyond unbalanced cards.
As long broken cards like the warlock ones and paladin Call To Arms still around untouched, any fair card don't will see any play, this is a problem of the broken cards that needed massive nerfs immediately, not the fair cards.
This with pretty much anything in the hunters arsenal is insane!, and i guess it pushes the quest hunter a bit too, not that i think it'll be strong enough atm. to be anything else than a little less meme'e than it already is

May your days be salty, and your nights bitter! :D
Play deck with no beasts aside from King Krush, play Seeping Oozeling, copy Kathrena Winterwisp's deathrattle, and cast this on King Krush as soon as Oozeling spawns him. Let Kathrena spawn 2 more buffed copies later. Carnivorous Cube one of them for extra fun.

Could potentially run this in a Katarina 'Big Beasts' deck. Sometimes you get Charged Devilsaur, sometimes you get a 4/4 Stonetusk Boar.

Ok I'm gonna try this out first with Raptor Hatchling. 1-mana 5/4 that shuffles a bunch of 1-mana 4/3s into my deck.
