Rat Pack. Battlecry: Summon 5 rats, at least one of them is rare or of higher rarity.
This card is pretty amazing...I mean, disregarding the in-hand buffs, just a houndmaster makes this thing crazy
Great Card. There is a lot of potential for this in more aggressive decks with abusive sergeant and dire wolf alpha. Even in slower decks it can be good with Houndmaster. Not to mention that it can also be buffed in other ways ( Hunter's new trogg beastrager card )
ok, its really good hunter card:
a beast
good deathrattle
hell of synergies
BUT... what hunter is missing now is not 3-drop (there is a bunch of them ) but solid beast for 4 - taunt would be the best here
don't get me wrong - nice to have another 3-drop, it will for sure see play.
but 4 mana for hunter (beast especially) is kinda awkward now
They have Infested Wolf, Houndmaster and freaking Barnes
so - as I said, ONE good beast
no taunts
I'm not complaining - this card is awesome
Shouldn't really expect multiple good beasts and a taunt for every single mana cost.
Then show me please at least ONE good beast-taunt for ANY mana cost.
If I play hunter – its control or midrange. Since standard patch there is no good taunt for hunter. Especially if you want play heavy beast synergy variant. Another problem is heal. And 4 mana drop (sure – infested wolf is very good card, but only one).
You are forced to play aggro. Or struggle with weak replacements.
So I'm happy that they giving us good cards for hunter, not so happy that they apparently doesn't want to fill the hole in mana curve and tools to make good midrange or control deck.
Freaking awesome, but hunter (so far) doesn't have many ways to target minions in hand to receive buffs. This would be crazy in paladin, which buffs all minions in hand. But still, even with just a +1/+1 it's a better Infested Wolf
Amazing with houndmaster also. 4/4 that will leave 4 1/1 on board.
I'm kinda bored of sticky minions, expetially if they are for hunters... This card is INSANE in costructed it has lots of synergies.
BTW dad rank 1 roleplayer
This card is insane. Its potential is through the roof, with a very high ceiling without a low floor. At the absolute worst you are getting a 3 mana 4/4 worth of stats spread out across multiple bodies, and that is already a fine minion. If this thing gains just a single point of extra attack, it becomes absolutely nuts, and anything more than that? I don't even want to think about it.
the mana cost makes this a bit awkward as the goon cards are ones you typically want to build up to. This will on average be a 3/3 with the 2 cost goon we saw recently. A 3/3 that spawns 3 1/1s on death is ok but it doesn't really work with hunter right now in their tendency to drop cards fast.
Are you kidding? Infested wolf is a 4 mana 3/3 that summons 2 1/1s, and gets played quite a lot. a 3 mana 3/3 that summons 3 1/1s is already fantastic.
with this new mechanic that could buff cards in your hands things will gonna change a lot guys, I'm expecting a battelcry card that have an aoe silence effect in the next reveals
Oh, hello, Haunted Creeper, long...Time...No.... * Breaks down crying, with flash backs of impossible-to-clear boards and aggro hunter *
Based on the picture, I half expected McGruff the Crime Dog.
Pint size potion is gonna make this card cry.
