This is an OK card for Hunter, but not what I wanted to see. Where's the new weapon Blizzard? What about a Dragon card for Hunter? We should still get at least 4 more cards, so I'm hopeful, but not holding my breath. What about some Control Hunter love? A non add random card to your hand draw mechanic would be nice.
As for the card itself, in a beast centric deck it could work. You have to make sure you have a beast come turn 5 though, so playing Piloted Shredder might not be a great idea on a deck like that. Lost Tallstrider finally has its place?
Not viable with facehunter = not going to see it played
Didn't you realize yet that facehunter is pretty much dead? I mean, it's already dying. I barely face those guys and when I do I probably win. The one that gives me trouble is Grim Patron and Handlock. Control era is here boyz.
There are 6 1 mana beasts in Hearthstone - all of them suck if you get them off this card.
There are 7 2 mana beasts - nothing too exciting here, but also not too bad. (at that point you're getting a 5 mana 3/3 plus something like a 2/2)
There are 5 3 mana beasts - with the exception of Silverback Patriarch, these range from very solid to insane (King Mukla) I'd be very happy to get any of these.
There are 3 4 mana beasts - all slightly below the power level of Mukla. Once again, super happy to get any of these.
There are 5 5 mana beasts - all are above par, or slightly below par compared to Mukla. Starving Buzzard isn't always gonna be practical.
There are 3 6 mana beasts - 2 are quite solid, and Savannah Highmane is busted nuts.
There are 3 7 mana beasts - All are nuts to get. Core hound is normal nuts while the rest is busted nuts.
And then there's king crush.
Based on this, I must conclude that if you can reliably trigger Ram Wrangler, it is a very solid card with a decent bit of variance.
You're right.
Now I actually think Ram Wrangler is viable because if you get any of 5+ drop with Ram Wrangler on turn 5, you basically won the game. You can also turn 6 Webspinner and Ram Wrangler and hopefully regain the board.
Still, not sure if beast Hunter will be a thing because the problem for new Hunter archetype is that it's almost an auto-loss against Face Hunter.
I believe they are trying to make fun cards for Hunter hehe
Fun, potentially insanely strong, but unreliable cards such as this and Lock and Load, I like it! :D

What is Hearthstone to you? A fun and semi-competitive game with wacky effects and crazy RNG outcomes or just a card game you wanna grind as many wins you can get as fast as possible in?
you dont need to play a beast hunter deck for this.... snake traps snakes do the work just fine or just a webspinner or creeper. its a very good card for midrange hunter
make it so that if the wrangler dies the random minions dies as well. and buff his stats 3 6. this way if he summons a huge beast you have a way to deal with it.
pretty strong. worst case scenarios of Captain's Parrot or Hungry Crab are bad, but even Young Dragonhawk or Webspinner are only a small loss. anything more and you're somewhere between breaking even and insane value.

Give a man a Murloc, and he'll eat for a day.
Give him a Murloc Knight, and people will hate him.
I think this card is not terrible but slightly above average.
as there are 18 beasts that are below 3 mana and average 1.8 attack and 2.27 health.
while there are 16 beasts with 4 or higher mana cost. they average 4.5 attack and 5.12 health
so in total the average creature summoned by this will be 3.15 attack and 3.65 health.
add the stats and it's a 6.15 6.65 for 5 mana, which is above average.

+ a lot of beasts have active abilities (like stealth, charge, card draw or taunt) or deatrattle effects which strenghten this card further.
Who can take your trash out?
Stomp it down for you?
Shake the plastic bag
and do the twisty thingy, too?
I made this card like a month ago.
I just thought it was cool we both named it 'Wrangler'. Also interesting that you can see that it wasn't a Ram in the original image.

It's beast huntin' time!
Hello there!
does this mean beast in hand or beast on board or both?

My Decks: Dread Hunter - Token Hunter
I actually forgot to include the special circumstances beasts, which i am not certain if this card will draw from those or only the playable ones like Webspinner including Chicken Sheep Boar Frog Devilsaur Panther Snake Squirrel Misha Leokk and Huffer
if these cards are included, most of these are terrible 1/1 cards and will skew my average by quite a bit.

Meta changes the moment you switch your deck.
If it read: "Whenever you summon a beast, summon another random beast." it would be totally broken.
Off the top of my head you seem to get an average 3/3 stats for the battlecry, which is awesome IMO.
Sure there's variance and RNG can screw you, but so can anything in this game.

On average this card will summon a ~3.5 mana cost minion, which means you will get on average two 3/3's for 5 mana, decent value for Arena.

They want the game to be as much as rng as possible, so everyone can win. Blizzard stated that very often.
It's sad to see strifecro play flawlessly and still lose to random ladder scrubs (not me, but like me) that make plenty of mistakes.
My comments refer mostly to the wild format.
