Like the other rat card it does not fit in any current strong hunter deck. I don't think a control hunter deck will see the light because of these rat-cards. The powerlevel is not high enough.
I'll save my judgements for when the rest of the expansion is revealed. We only have 16% of the cards at the moment.
It's obviously for Token/Rush Hunter
I only really play the weird, slower hunter decks( lock and load, deathrattle, spell, quest, that sort of thing.) so I am so down with funky value hunter stuff.
I like it and think it's interesting, but have no idea what it's for.
I think it won't be good enough for a meta deck, but it'll be cool to experiment with. Considering we have Kolkar Pack Runner, Wound Prey, and other very cheap spells, it might be júst good enough for a meme.
Can't wait to ressurect 6 of them with Nzoth in wild.
I do wonder how these deathrattle dormant minions work with Jewel of N'Zoth. If you get this to die twice, and it's still there dormant, is Jewel of N'Zoth going to spawn multiple copies?
then you lock up your board. gg
nice card overall, but it cost too much man if it was 4 mana it would have been OP
At first when I saw the previous card I was like WTF but this seems pretty cool. Permanent annoying minions, I like it. I really hope this can work. I'm just tired of seeing the same hunter deck every expansion. Blizzard always tries new archetypes but hunter players will always play the cheapest and fastest version.
One day, Hunter will get a meta changing card like Deathstalker Rexxar again
A value card. Not sure current Hunter is going to make much use of this. You need 5+ minions dying after turn 6, which is when they're closing out the game or having already lost.
I really wanna summon six of him that are all 1 interval apart just to be extremely annoying.
No way, this and Rats of Extraordinary Size are actually a Rat Movie reference. The flavor text of this one is "I'm the giant rat that makes all of da rules!"
A rat king is a real thing that happens with rat swarms (when their tails get tangled up), and it has been a staple of folklore for hundreds of years.
Rats of Extraordinary Size is a reference to Princess Bride's Rodents of Unusual Size, I think.
Matt Dixon's art btw. Can't wait to find that little frog hiding behind his throne or something. Awesome and interesting effect too! It reminds me of Sherazin, Corpse Flower.
Seems pretty good.
