If a Locust is a beast, it might be playable. Besides I'm pretty disappointed. Had hoped for some Deathrattle trigger, due to all this reborn and mummy theme...
Hunter has Headhunter's Hatchet which is a 2 Mana 2/3 (in almost all cases) and even that doesn't make the cut in all beast hunter lists anymore.
This is 1 Mana more, which is terrible, cause turn 3 is a huge powerspike for hunter usually, and it has the downside that it does less potential face damage, with pretty much no upside.
Even if the Scarab is a beast, what does that even do? You definitely don't want to Dire Frenzy a 1/1 rush, no one plays Houndmaster anymore (and probably won't in the near future because of Master's Call), and there are more than enough activators for Kill Command in the list as it is.
If that token had poisonous it would have been sick. I don't really see the reason to play this. Unless you are playing some weird beast token hunter but I don't see the point.

It's "better" against a board of 1/1's, but that's about it. Yeh - it's a bad card.
Even if it would synergize with Toxmonger (which it doesn't) it would see no play at all. Hunter has too many powerful 3-mana cards, he can't afford to play such an underwhelming weapon instead of those.
If this were a 2/3 weapon, the locust were a 2/1, or it only cost 2-mana, I would play this. However, as is, it simply losses out to other weapons and is too expensive for its impact.

Locust is a beast ?
Clicks on the title to see the new card.
Finds out I've already voted for "Playable."
lol
Not terrible, but not playable either. Makes Hunter's Pack a little worse.
No thanks.
I guess it can't be helped with all of the good cards hunter is getting this set.

:-(
Bad
Pretty decent with any sort of beast synergy. Scavenging hyena, for example. Very nice
Regis said that it is.
Yes, the 1/1 token you get from it is a beast.
It's better than Piranha Launcher, still pretty weak, but maybe will see some play if Locust is a beast.
Holy hell this is bad...

RegisKillbin said on his reveal stream that it is a Beast. Synergy!

Its kinda bad, but not as bad with Houndmaster. Anyways Hunter's Pack deserved this nerf before the release.
I think its decent in arena IF you have some beast synergy.
Meh card not terrible but wont cut it, hunters 3 slot is just too insane. Will see play via Hunters Pack only.
Even if it would synergize with Toxmonger (which it doesn't) it would see no play at all. Hunter has too many powerful 3-mana cards, he can't afford to play such an underwhelming weapon instead of those.
It is very slow also you lose the tempo of the match, hunter has better cards of cost 3
