No, I'm pretty sure if they wanted to spend 3 mana to get rid of a taunt they would just run Ironbeak Owl and save themselves the card and the Deathrattle.
There're other cards that have synergy with rapid fire too. Arcane Fletcher, Vereesa. There could be an aggro/combo deck that runs all these spells and fills out their curve with some good beasts & dragons.
Also Ironbeak Owl is so much worse than this.
So you'd rather play a 3 mana 2/1 that just silences a minion instead of a 3/4 that kills it? Granted, with the help of (half of) a 1 mana card, but nonetheless. ShadowAldrious is exactly right, Ironbeak Owl is leagues weaker than this is. Weaker as a tempo drop, weaker stats, weaker effect, etc.
Do you really not realize how powerful having Professor Slate and Rapid Fire in your hand is? You can kill 2 minions of your choosing for 5 mana, and you summon a 3/4 in the process. That's ridiculous value. Granted, sometimes you won't have Rapid Fire, but even with the other spells that you can combo with Slate, the effect is still incredible for it's cost, especially for a tempo deck (which literally all hunters are).
It's not a 3 mana 3/4 that kills it. It's a 3 mana 3/4 that kills it IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER CARD
Silencing a taunt gets it out of your way. Killing it requires more mana and more cards, cards that you could use to hit face instead. Just by using Professor Slate you've increased the cost of removing the taunt minion from 3 to 4. Also Ironbeak is a Beast so it gives you more damage from Kill Command.
Sees play in exactly 0 hunter decks other than extremely memey ones. Did you eat your hat yet?
Honestly I do think that this card is super powerful... solid 3/4 statline with a pretty strong upside. Turn all spells into Assassinate? Cmon guys - I don't see a reason why hunter wouldn't run this. There is no obvious downside for me.. great addition!
Yeah there's a good chance it will be included in a variety of hunter decks, it's very competitive even if we ignore the exploding trap gimmick people are hyped about.
Yeah, but the problem is the only spells that deal damage and this would work with that are in play at the moment are Corrosive Breath and Kill Command. Also, Explosive Trap, but I don't see that combo going off very often. If you play highlander hunter, for example, you run this card for comboing with two copies of spells in your deck. Two. Instead of just running something that doesn't need you to have drawn your whole deck most of the time. That is humungously slow. Other spells that this could work with are Arcane Shot and Rapid Fire but those aren't very good on their own and probably won't see play because they're "kind of a good combo with a legendary in your deck". Better off just running Ace Hunter Kreen.
I think it will see play eventually. You're right about the evaluation for this expansion, but wait until rotation and I guarantee this card will show up somewhere.
FINALLY we will have a competitive control hunter deck!
Thanks Trump, at least I'm not the only one here believing that THIS Card is massively overrated and won't see ranked play, because Rapid Fire is just so AWFUL.
So its mean dust Pog Kappa
Keep in mind, Trump is known for being way off in his reviews.
He is usually way off on a couple of big cards, but if you average things out, he is probably one the most accurate card reviewers out there.
trump is wrong to like 90% every expansion so who cares what his stupid mind concludes
Never saw him being REALLY accurate about something lol, I kinda watch him for the memes. If I want somebody with real game knowledge and prediction capabilities, I'd watch Regis or Kibler.
Most people are off in reviews. That's makes them fun to see later.
Lmao you're so deluded. Regis is an idiot who can barely even reach legend, and Kibler knows a lot but he plays meme decks. If that's where you get your knowledge about the game I'm willing to bet you've never even gotten Diamond/Rank 5, let alone anything higher.
Wow dude, you don't have pepper in your house, don't you?
