Priest are going to be so happy when they get this card from you for free. SO. HAPPY.
They defined that this card is garbage in a class that besides zeprys does not have aoe,or target remove, blow out twelve candles before commenting!
Surely Zephrys the Great would know to offer Arcane Explosion with Professor Slate on the board right ?
So... Blizzard doesn't want to go face?
Strange they add it at a time where there is no cheap aoe damage spell available in Hunter. This would have been a whole lot better if Grievous Bite was available.
Well, create a new hunter archetype or create a new hunter playstyle. You have tons of cards in your collection. Open your mind and get to work. I'm a huge fan of the poison mechanic and this card dope! It would have been broken if it were neutral.
Just not enough control support for this to see play. Highlander Hunter wants aggressive minions that are a threat. It's well stated but this needs more support to see play.
In quest or OTK Hunter, this might have a chance. But again I think there needs to be another card that combo's with this. A cost effective AOE of some kind.
okay so i play explosive trap and he dies .. would it still be poisonous .. or is that just the effect while he's alive?!
It's an aura. It's only active while he's alive.
I mean, the effect is insane, and premium stats. But it has a high cost (you'd spend 4 or 5 mana for removing something), and does any Hunter really want to go to other places instead of the good old sm0rct0wn?
I don't know why they try to push so hard Control Hunter. Dear god look at his hero power, this class screams agro and midrange, and it should be like that. If a hunter really wants this, it's for removing a taunt. And you'd just use Ironbeak Owl, which is a beast and enables Kill Command.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Toxic Arrow Is finally Poisonous.
the fck :D?!!!
Control Hunter getting some love this expansion
Don't will make the cut, hunter already have an insane amount of broken cards for 3 manas slot.
Might be interesting to play around with this and a couple Witchwood Pipers in a Spell Hunter deck in wild (which will draw minions quickly enough to leave only spells in and benefit from this card's synergy). It won't be a strong deck, but still an interesting concept.
Strong card on its own, but not worth putting suboptimal cards like Rapid Fire in your deck just for this. Might some merit in wild with Powershot and Grievous Bite though.
it laughs loudly at mage legendaries
This card obviously works only with direct damage spell, like Flanking or Explosove shot.
This said, it won't see play, hunter doesn't need to run this. Only use I see is with rapid fire or arcane shot, but these cards are so Awful on their own, I wouldn't bother.
Highlander Hunters will 100% play this, I'll eat my hat if they don't. They already run Corrosive Breath, which - when comboed with this card - will now kill any minion besides dealing face damage, and they have Kill Command, which you ideally want to use to burst down the opponent, but it's still good to have the option to take out a must-kill minion for 3 mana if you need to. Besides those two, you just put in Marked Shot (which already sees play in some lists), Rapid Fire and Arcane Shot, and you got a package of 4 cards (along with Professor Slate) that serves as board control in the early game, burst damage in the late game, and now also incredibly efficient removal for taunts and other critical targets.
It just... works. And at the end of the day, Professor Slate is still a 3 mana 3/4, which is just... fine... even if you have to play him out for tempo.
Hell, this card might even cause a resurgence of Face hunter. They already play Arcane shot, Rapid Fire, Corrosive Breath and kill command. All of them. Do you really think they won't dedicate one spot to Professor Slate to be able to kill any huge taunt minion for 1 mana? Sure, you miss 1 face damage, but if that 1 damage kills a taunt you can very often send 5 damage worth of minion attacks to face instead.
