Honestly, being effective against other "light" decks was a part of Hunter's class identity since closed beta. This was changed a year ago, when Patches arrives. To consistently beat any form of aggro/tempo Hunter with Mage I'd recommend to add more control tools to recover health and regain the board.
Would not see play in constructed just like that 2/5 worm. Because of overcrowded 3-Cost slot and because of Potion of Madness. Decent card in Arena though.
And what's next? Change that card's text to "Summon two Animal Companions" and it will be nothing more than mediocre card between 3- and 9- mana analogues.
That card would be really bad. And boring. And if you're thinking how to explain the existence of To My Side!, just remember Toxic Arrow or Cobra Shot. The same tier Hunter spell we have, nothing more.
Meh. Quest Mage don't need a quest to beat Hunter in a lategame. You can't heal yourself, so you'll die from anything from the bubbling books and cabalist tomes. Razakus Priest is even deadlier.
I predict it will be useless. Something "theoretically good in control deck" but fully unplayable for a class without healing. 8 mana 1/5 deathrattle "summon friendly beasts that died this game" or so.
p.s. Actually my example is wrong because of tundra rhino, but its clear what I meant.

I've got Paladin's and Hunter's weapons. I am happy with both and thinking about crafting DK Rexxar.

Not so awful even at first stage (Silver Hand Knight tier), really good at second and great at third.

The most unique competitive deck I played is probably a Malygos Hunter (Karazhan meta). Wild Pyromancer + Hunter's Mark, Tracking, Emperor Thaurissan and 40+ burst with Quick Shot, Arcane Shot and On the Hunt.
There was also Malygos-less build with Brann Bronzebeard, 2 x Ancient Mage and Wisp. But that deck was a clown fiesta.

Okay, now Hunter is officially the most fragile class in the game. So... we need more 7+ cards for control Hunter! :-|

Works for me. First try after I realized that Tirion should not be buffed even by random effects (by Cobalt Scalebane, for example).
