Yes, compare with Wolfrider. That's an unconditional 3-1 charger that seems strictly better than this, and it is barely played. Plus it's a neutral. Also compare with Druid of the Saber, which I presume was an inspiration given your card's name. Yours is essentially the same thing - by charging you waste the stealth - and it's two mana.
Just some thoughts :)
Edit before someone attacks me - Technically Wolfrider is not "strictly" better given the beast tag and stealth option for Houndmaster turn 4, but the point is the same.
I'm hesetant to give Hunters more overtly aggro-oriented options, and I also agree with the above sentiments that it should only need to cost (2), but otherwise this is a pretty good attempt! The concept is definitely in the right place, and you're right that the art it ADORABLE! =D
Thanks!! Will change to 2 mana for sure. Maybe rare, too.
I've done a number of other cards I have yet to share, but was particularly happy with this for the concept... a timid/scared pup (stealth) that gets excited/eager (charge) if he's not alone :)
Appreciate the feedback! Balancing is without a doubt the hardest part of card creation for me, and I'm guessing for most newbs.
Alternative to making it 2 mana you could make it a 3/3. Not quite so aggro oriented then as it would be most ideal for trading against a 2 mana 2/3 or setting up for Houndmaster.
So cute :3
Art from WoW TCG, link here. Drawn to be Tyrande's frostsaber at a young age, but yeah. PRIDEFUL SABER PUP!!!
I've only just started playing with card creation... anyone else love browsing fan art etc. and getting inspired from there?

Cool concept and love the art but don't see why it cannot be 2 mana
Moved to Fan Creations.
Could be. Still very new to balancing!

Actually I also found the same art and made a card, by a way that it also interacts with beasts.
Your card feels pretty interesting! Its like a Wolfrider, but has its versatility.
However, I wouldn´t make it common though, its effect feels more of a Rare.
The joke is you.
Hmmmmmm...
I feel like it should be rare but damn now I'm distracted but the gem not matching the art as well ;D
