Agreed, unlike druids/warriors/priests, hunters aren't a late-game class, they can't really heal, their hero power is the worst one (one reason, hit for the face, nothing else) so their only type is aggro.. even though you can use it on turn 7, you'll be losing the tempo and the op. will probably have a way or more to get rid of it
mfw his Yogg steals my win
Control hunter is counter-intuitive to its hero power as its hero power doesnt help you with board control at all so the longer the game goes on the harder things get...
if meta shifts and it will (120 new cards lol) this will be a key card in control hunter
i dont know if it will be better then aggro versions but it will certanly be playable
I like this card because it adds a playable finisher to the beast pool so you're less likely to get captains parrot (assuming they are all even chances) off webspinner. I don't think I would main this though, its a bit too clunky for what hunter is already good at doing and i would think needs a dedicated beast list which i think is just going to be inferior to Mechs and deathrattle most of the time. Like you pretty much need tundra rhino in play for this to be a threat right, and at that point highmane is almost more of a threat because it needs no other help to do its damage and then be resistant to removal.
But like I said, if i get this off a webspinner its going to be a good drop.
Lol not salty at all. Lots of people call Hunter/Zoo decks cancer or ebola, specifically on Twitch. Ever heard of it or is life under a rock more comforting? Would love to see a good Control Hunter deck, the hero power seems fantastic at helping you gain board control/stabilize. Facepalm
Oh well.. Shitty card for a shitty class. Anyway I voted for the Malorne.
It's not ogre till it's ogre.
I think wild pyro would be a more competitively viable proc for it than eleven archer. Maybe a trap heavy control hunter?
Force opponent to play bouncing blade.......
There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count and those that can't.
They call it that way because they are salty. Twitch's chat IQ is less than 30. Just look at the chat of streamers like Forsen or Kripp. You shouldn't really take them as example.
Not possible to OTK with this. Played on an empty board it does nothing.
a viable control hunter deck will never exist because hunter's hero power does nothing to help you get board control and control decks are focusing on board control

This is why hunters have secrets. Spark made a great control hunter 5-6 months back, before naxx, that was completely viable.
If nothing else, this card will probably be a staple in top plays of the week.
Sure it is "slow" but quite honestly if you played Midrange of Control Hunter, you would realize how easy it is to survive to the later turns. This is the best 7 drop in the game, a 6/9 is a problem for most classes (especially when you can play Highmane the turn before). You don't even need many cards to get it to 24 Attack and if they don't remove it immediately it's basically GG the next turn.
There is no such thing as control hunter,never was never will be,even if someone tries to build control hunter it will never work,the deck will fail on turn 6,the hunter is not build to be control class,the hero power is not meant for board control but for agro rush play,this is not a bad card but i would not waste dust to craft it,if i get it from pack,ok, plus you get this from the webspiner anyways
So you're going to use Sylvanas to counter this card? Does that mean you're willing to risk leaving this card up for an entire turn just so you can mind control it? You have bigger balls than I do.
Warrior's hero power also does not help with the board (other than with shield slam). It fits with the control theme by keeping you alive.
In a Hunter control deck you would focus more cards on control and rely more on your hero power to apply pressure and win the game. Naturally this will mean that Priest and Warrior will probably continue to be the best classes against a control Hunter but imagine a class like Rogue, Warlock or Shaman against a control hunter that has control of the game and is able to ping for 2 every turn. It could force those players to over commit into bad situations.
Its OK but only OK. Id rather see it in warrior than hunter
claim hunter hero power helps with board control, im open-minded mind explaining for those of us who dont get it though... (sorry messed up the quote lol)
The base of the new deck this enables is:
2x Tundra Rhino, Wild Pyromancer, Arcane Shot, Hunter's Mark, Flare, Tracking, 1x Gahz'rilla
Combo pieces, Rhino demands removal, and if he gets removed that's 1 less removal for the Gahz. Starting a turn with Rhino on board then going Gahz->Pyromncer->Arcane Shot the Gahz is 24, so like a super Grommash. The other spells enable an attack for 12 that turn, which isn't bad, and find the pieces.
The rest of the deck is removal (and Highmane; that guy is too good not to play):
2x Explosive Trap, Freezing Trap, Mad Scientist, Eaglehorn Bow, Earthen Ring Farseer, Multi-Shot, Sludge Belcher, Savannah Highmane, 1x Call Pet (5 big beasts, and you really want to cycle).
Maybe Earthen Ring should be Acolyte of Pain.
