This card feels like a miss. On turn 4, I'd rather play Flanking Strike, Marked Shot, or even Multi-Shot. I certainly wouldn't want to overwrite a good weapon with this thing, just to put a secret into play. Hunter secrets are just generally too low impact, too easy to play around, and prone to disappoint you. This weapon feels like like negative tempo. I want to play Petting Zoo on 3, and Hyena on 4, rather than 5.
I only play hunter. If this was 4 attack, or 3 duration, or 3 mana... I'd craft it. As the expansion looks right now, it'll be one of only three hunter cards not in my collection, along with Princess Huhuran and Piranha Launcher.
even 3 attack would have been fine, glad to see some fellow hunter players say their opinion about this card.
This genuinely feels like Hunter is getting the Shaft again, Control Hunter already fell off from AoO God Tier to Scholomance Tier 3 or Low 2'ish
Also a 2 attack Weapon for 4 Mana is really atrocious, no matter if the Secret sort of tries to balance it out.
This is right there with the worst Legendaries of the set.
I agree, 2 attack for 4 is weak and two secrets cost 4 mana, but in this case you get them with delay. This is really bad.
I like it when I see an actual hunter player commenting on hunter cards. Just for comparison Ancharrr still exists and the only reasonable reason that I can find that this card doesn't have 3 Attack or costs 1 less is that blizzard didnt want hunter players to run this miserable thing that maybe mistaked as a card in the same deck as Hoard Pillager. Glad that demon hunters can do whatever they want though lmao.
What a joke
I like it.
It's a Phase Stalker on turn four. Either way you get two damage and a free secret out in play on turn four. This weapon doesn't thin your deck but it might give you a secret you need at that moment in the game.
Uneven stats. Nope!
Interesting effect. Nope!
I sense a crazy good secret coming this expansion for Hunter or this legendary is really boring.
Oh a Hunter Legendary that is trying to support an archetype that doesn't sound good ? That cannot be...
It wouldn't be a new Hearthstone expansion without unplayable Hunter Epics and bland, unoriginal Hunter Legendaries! I've been consistently disappointed with the direction they've taken Hunter each expansion that I've basically given up hope that they'll ever do anything interesting with it. Exceptionally annoying is that Mage got a stronger version of this card for the same Mana cost.
I feel the same feelings my friend. After what happened in Blackrock with the face hunters becoming a thing the entire hearthstone community and the developers will never treat hunter as an actual class. And because they release cards that are no different than joke cards for the class, so the only option there is left is to hit face. Hunters hitting face ? Give them another round of joke cards. A neverending cycle for sure, maybe one day this will be different.
Hunter has been paying for Undertaker since it got patched, tbh. Hopefully with the Basic Set rework they actually give Hunter something that's good and original, since it has nothing of its own. Not a single mechanic in Hunter is unique to the class, and it's really sad because Hunter has my favorite themes and aesthetic out of all 10 classes.
Yeah man I feel you. I kinda liked the midrange beast hunter until it wasn't doing good. The only theme hunter right now has is casting spells to either summon things that smorc or summon things that help smorcing. But no mechanic indeed. Even though I have played hunter for so long I feel like the flavor is getting too old and this shit that Team 5 is pulling with "lets give hunter some wonky cool cards" is making me actually feel horrible. In fact I think there are 2 hunter cards that I have ever loved that wasn't made in the early stages of the game. One being Crackling Razormaw and the other being Deathstalker Rexxar. Who knows maybe a day will come when hunters won't get trash options for drawing cards or buffing stuff that was supposed to be on the board. Or maybe not and they will keep giving us cards like Maxima Blastenheimer or Flark's Boom-Zooka or cards that "supposedly" trigger your deathrattle 20 times or something.
its not pretty but its functional.
With my bad luck, it will surely be the only legendary that touches me :(
Then report it, and it will go to jail, and you will be placed in foster care with another legendary. :)
You made me happy today after several losses in Battlegrounds
Glad I could help :D
I dont need this ... I will just stick to face hunter.
So so legendary that will fall out of favor if crappy secrets keep being discovered, or loved if the discovered secrets are always a meta tech need.
