OTK with what? Tundra Rhino?
There is OTK with Hunting Party and King Krush and that isn't going anywhere
Maybe I should start calling these Johnny or Timmy cards instead of fillers seeing how heated people can get for card that aren't out yet.
Well another OTK with Tundra Rhino and Hunting Party
Way to piss in our cornflakes bro, Jeeeeeez!
i'm going to make a rez priest deck with this as the only minion because why not
Shadow of Death maybe for the memes
There's a couple ways to OTK with this card in Hunter, I'll highlight the two I see:
1. Dire Frenzy route - You Dire Frenzy your Dread Raven, then Scarlet Webweaver a Tundra Rhino (or two different Dread Ravens). Turn of OTK, you Rhino --> Raven --> Raven --> Raven, for 2+12+12+12, for up to 38 damage. Up to two of the Ravens do not need to be buffed by Dire Frenzy.
2. Hunting Party route - Scarlet Webweaver a Dread Raven (Unlike Frenzy, it HAS to be a Raven), then play Hunting Party twice, giving you 4 0-cost copies of Dread Raven. Then Tundra Rhino --> All ravens from hand, giving you 2+12+12+12+12 (50 damage), and you can play a fifth Raven to get an additional 27 damage. This route is also entirely comprised of Standard and Dragon cards, so it'll be around post set rotation too.
Both sides have their potential advantages - Dire Frenzy is more consistent, yet Hunting Party is better against Control Warrior because of the insane damage potential allowing you to OTK a Warrior at full health with 40+ armor. But the real fun part about this combo is the fact the entire combo is made up with Beasts or spells, so you can use Master's Call as a draw engine.
Neither of those will see play, they're both way too inconsistent. You don't really have a way of guaranteeing your Scarlet Webweaver hits exactly Tundra Rhino, and if you hit the Dread Raven you need to draw yet another Scarlet Webweaver and hit the right minions with it too.
The only way to make the first combo even somewhat reliable is to run no other beasts besides 2x Scarlet Webweaver, 1x Tundra Rhino, 1-2x Dread Raven, and even that will backfire occasionally when one of your Webweavers hits the other and the second one hits a Raven.
So best case scenario you're playing a combo deck with 4-5 combo pieces that requires you not to run some of the best hunter cards (because many of them are beasts) and still has a potential to backfire. It also doesn't bypass taunts AND it's shuffling in extra cards into your deck which means you potentially need longer to assemble it.
The second combo is a bit faster but even more reliable. Why would you play either of those two over one of the many much more reliable and usually faster combo decks?
Nowhere in there did I say that these would be competitively viable decks. They're potential OTKs, there are a lot of problems here holding them back from being more useful, such as Hunter's lack of recovery, or access to useful Taunt minions. If they can live long enough to reach this combo is already an achievement.
Something you're missing though is the fact that one set's failure condition is the other's success condition. Granted, this is going even further into the memes, but if you wanted to, you could run both and switch your win condition to accommodate where the Webweaver lands.
Finally, similar to Exodia Mage when they were using Simulacrum to get the extra Apprentices, you can still pack Beasts and go this way, though it's a good idea to make sure they're primarily cheaper Beasts like Shimmerfly, Springpaw, or Hench-Clan Hogsteed so you can empty your hand of them easily.
Fair enough, just wanted to point out that I don't see the deck being particularly viable, nothing more. ^^
I see this working great for a Shaman Windfury OTK!! Excited to try it out.
Guys. Imagine playing a 0 cost rhino with 3 of these. That would be 29 Damage out of nowhere. This card has some potential and you should not underestimate it. 4/5
Imagine playing five 0 mana Leroys from hand. You can just OTK your opponent while spending 0 mana for it.
... what? We weren't just listing random things that would be good if you could reliably pull them off, but you unfortunately can't? Could have fooled me.
Can't wait to see Dane make an OTK from this card.
I'm calling it. Next card revealed will be Dread Sottle.
Nice body. Can work in Hunter with all their "copy beasts in hand" cards. Not that great, kind of slow. Maybe after rotation.
Full board of these is 7 21-4 beasts.
Not a friend of Flamestrike.

With Hunter you’ve got the Wildtamer, Dire Frenzy, and Hunting Party. If you can make anything work with that.
