decent big removal for hunter with some comboes.
Blizz still trying to make Quest Hunter a thing I see.
RIP Fiery Bat.... There are still some decent targets for this. Argent Squire, Stonetusk Boar, Glacial Shard generally allow you to use the effect. Goldshire footman as a taunt too. Dire Mole survives a ping. If you're playing all these 1-drops you might as well run the quest. Meh, it may be alright. It just seems a bit slow for a 2/4 for four mana.
Does this mean that we get to give Stonetusk Boar the nickname of Toxic Piggy?
I prefer Salmonella hehe
Very good with Fiery Bat in Wild.
Elven Archer time to shine!
I feel like the effect of the new card will happen after the 1 dmg is done?
Huh? You're wrong
No, I think he might actually be right, unless you can site a specific example. Almost all battlecry effects occur before the minion enters the field. Obviously this doesn't apply to all minions, so things can get kinda trippy. But most likely because Elven Archer deals 1 damage before entering the field, it will not have poisonous, and therefore @ArtZoyd is correct.
Donais just confirmed, Elven Archer's ping will deal poisonous damage.
Elven Archer
Stonetusk Boar
Seems pretty solid.
Elven Archer becomes a 1-mana Assassinate.
Finally, a hunter card with boar control potential. *wink*
Cool? I mean, it's only viable in quest hunter because you're not going to load your deck with one-drops otherwise. Problem is is that unless you can rush/charge with them, it is pretty awkward to pull off the effect to take out a big minion. There's Stonetusk Boar and conditionally Southsea Deckhand (so far), and are you really going to put those in your deck? You could combo off of Tundra Rhino or the Houndmaster Shaw, but that's a 10-mana combo...
Don't think it will see play. If Stubborn Gastropod, Pit Snake and Emperor Cobra don't see play, why would you try to make the same effect with a two-card combo, where either card is garbage without the other? Only if quest hunter makes some sort of miraculous comeback, and it needs (way) more than this.
tentacle of nzoth in wild becomes a boardwipe
Because you get board control with it, and if you only need to kill off 1 creature, you have something on the board that has to be answered, which is huge for control decks
Huh. Boar is more playable. However, what's funny is that this card promotes aggro play. Tiny creatures that can now trade with big bois mid to late game. But the previous Hunter cards in the expansion are more control and slow play related. *shrug.
I say it's playable. We'll see.
