Elven Archer's Battlecry might deal the damage before Toxmonger's affect applies to it. I know that battlecries typically go off before the minion is actually in play. The poison buff that Toxmonger gives it might apply only once it is a minion. We'll see soon enough; it'll be great if it works!
Other card that do this too are Auctioneer and Violet Teacher. It's effect go out before the spell even active it effect.
Why not just play hunter's mark instead? lol
Was it really that broken to deny the Unleash the Hounds combo with it Blizzard?
Are you physically incapable of making a Hunter card without just a sprinkle of anti-synergy?
You gotta check urself before rekt urself man. It says " Whenever you PLAY " not summon.........
Yyyyyyeah. You PLAY your cards from your hand. You SUMMON minions from your hand or with spells. Unleash the Hounds is PLAYING a 3-cost spell and SUMMONING X amount of 1-cost hounds. Understand the distinction?
rank 25?
"Play a minion" - Means playing it from your hand.
Playing a spell that summons a minion will not give them anything at all.
He's saying he wishes it said summon, not play, he knows it says play.
Okay, let me try again here:
What's the difference between the Hunter quest and the Priest quest? One says PLAY 1-cost minions, that means that, just like in this very situation that you so smugly believe yourself correct in, using something like Alley Cat will only count for 1 summon instead of 2, and Unleash the Hounds will count as nothing towards its credit. The other says to SUMMON deathrattle minions, and through this particular choice of words, cards like N'zoth, or Eternal Servitude DO count towards its credit.
Do you understand NOW?
Also yes this card does specify playing minions but regardless my point is correct.
The problem is you used a poor card choice or needed more card choices to make your point. You are wrong that minions from hand are always summoned, but you are correct that you are playing unleash the hounds and Summoning hounds. When you spend mana to put a minion from your hand to the battlefield then you are playing that minion. If you use a spell or ability from a minion or some effect then you are summoning a minion. Violet teacher summons minions when you play a spell but when you play her from hand by spending the mana you are playing a minion. A card such as Ancestor's Call from shaman pulls a minion from both player's hands and puts them into play, this effect Summons those minions even though they have come from the hands their mana costs were not paid. Hope this helps.
he did not deserve all those downvotes at all. He just pointed that Unleash the Hounds could be good with Toxmonger if it says "summon" but Blizzard refused to give that to hunter.
what he means is : 'why is it when you play a minion and not when you summon a minion'
Is everyone on hearthpwn retarded? that guy was well aware of how its worded, he was hating on blizzard for deliberately NOT give it "summon" . Whats with all the dislikes? can people not comprehend sentences LMAO
so I didn't down vote or attack his initial post. I just clarified something he said in a follow up post. He said it wrong and it needed clarifying. You have to also consider that by the time I got to the article it was already behind the "click to see hidden content" because people downvoted it to oblivion. I still haven't read it. Just defending what I said, as I never attacked anyone. All I did was make clarifications about how a mechanic worked based on someone posting slight misinformation. This way others wouldn't have a false understanding. I think it is clear from my post that I was not trying to be argumentative. I didn't realize the post was even attached to a longer downvoted post. So I apologize, and yet my point still stands.
It says play on the card though.
EDIT: I should remember that I'm dealing with Blizzard apologists who bandwagon downvote even 100% correct statements however.
We only put out one translation of this card though lol, and that was after confirmation with a few other sources.
Spreading false notion ; that's a downvote.
This card has potential. Especially in the late game but the issue still remains, card draw. You will need to have the ideal cards in hand for this to work & if you have been playing hunter for the past 2+ years, you already know how difficult it can be to hold on to any cards with that class. For this to work consistently, the class will NEED card draw. Hunter pretty much needs a Small-Time Recruits equivalent at this point.
