I love this card. This is a card that has as much power in its existence as it does when activated. Even if your opponent plays around this all game that still is a huge benifit
This is a really great card, mostly because it has a unique interaction. Most other cards just react on something that would happend anyway or which your opponet can't play around, but this traps gives a hard payout for something your opponent can play around. Its gonna be fun to see if it will be used, but aslong as the game is not too fast, this trap is gonna be great, since most decks are gonna use 3+ cards before turn 8.
The Question is How would you Make an opponent Play Three Cards.
Against Control = No options
Against Aggro = May be but Hunter does not have board clears to clear the board so the opponent aggressively Fills the Board again.
Against Combo = Yeah Good Card , But if they are already doing the Combo then what's the point.
But against Rouge = Definitely an A+ Card.
My Knowledge is limited so this is what i think. Maybe this card is really good . Who knows :)
OH BABY!!!
You get a 6/6 Rat after your opponent plays Divine Spirit, Divine Spirit, Inner Fire and kills you!!!
Sweet card! LUL

This expansion should be called Trashwood, not Witchwood.
This will only be good because it's the one you forget exists, then you trigger it after you've spent all your resources for the turn.
Otherwise it's hot trash. If aggro is playing 3 cards a turn it's because you're going to die or they're putting out numerous threats, and control can afford to play around it or answer the token with card #4.
I think there are more times than people realize even mid game where 3 or more cards are played each turn by various types of decks. And the later the game goes the more likely it is to happen. I don't think any deck that plays this only plays a single copy since it is somewhat unreliable. It would be even better if Hunter got any card that triggers from a secret being in play like Medivh's Valet.
this counters, well, rogue xD
Everyone complains about mage secrets but there is no real way to play around a hunter secret and this is just another busted hunter secret that will give way more value than its cost no matter what your opponent does.
You know exactly how it triggers, be prepared for a 6/6 if you play 3 cards in one turn. It's super easy to just ... Not play 3 cards if you aren't ready to deal with a 6/6
King Mukla
Hoarding Dragon
Scaleworm, Emeriss, Rat Trap/Hoarding Dragon...
It's almost like Blizzard is trying to make Dragon Hunter a thing.
Counter to Dragon Soul, Lyra the Sunshard.
It doesn't matter, Lyra will just generate a Shadow Word: Death
TheFatRat will be now in Hearthstone LUL.
exactly my thoughts
Great card! Great Secret!
Against Rogue shenanigans, Priest and Power Word: Shield shenanigans with Radiant Elemental.
Turn 2 aggro deck with coin tempo plays now ruin their turn or forcing them to think: Need to hold when they want 2 tempo minions.
I think this secret will see a lot of play and generally people would not emptying their gas easily against Hunter cuz of this secret.
