Good card for token druid and quest Hunter.
Good, but boring card.
Pretty good card, reminds me of Fire Fly with worse stars but with an added immediate tempo effect. You need a minion in play to play it, but when you do it's great stats for the cost. Sadly I don't think it has a spot in current druid or hunter lists, but maybe something new will pop up which will give this a place.
Seems decent for Druid, don’t really see it fitting into Hunter too well though. Hunter can’t benefit as much from swarms of small minions as Druid can, and the quest isn’t really that great as far as I know, so this probably wouldn’t help it out too much
Not a bad card. I think this will see play.
Downside I see is this is not an ideal turn 1 play. You need board to gain value.
1 mana for 2/2 stats 1/1 being fast and also gives you a little curve filler.. Adorable.. Seems like firefly but can't be played on turn 1.
Is this a bingo yet for cuteness? And does anyone know how the tokens look?
I assume that the tokens are 1/1 beasts, so that could be of some use. 1 mana for 2/2 across two bodies and another 1/1 in hand is probably good for token druid decks, but I can't imagine many hunter decks using this card.
Scary card. Gives a lot for just 1 mana. Both classes can use this to their advantage. I think this will see play.
I guess this could be used in spell decks, but it’s a bit underwhelming even as a 1-mana spell. Bonus points for cuteness though
Very good card for Druid - Hunter? i think not so much ...
Could also work good with the New Druid Spell that makes the next one Cheaper!
Very skeptical about it. It's not a turn 1 play (unless you run Wisp) and it's a pretty bad topdeck.
There also isn't a hunter deck that really requires this at the moment (Midrange Hunter is a pipe dream at this point, you can't really rely on the 1 2 3 4 5 curve into Highmane anymore)
There is some interesting synergy with Arcane Fletcher (in case people forgot about that card) because it's a spell that gives you a 1-drop, meaning it kind of cycles itself.
I'd say double-yes with the token.
The cub's a beast, right. This is still in line with all those beast druid-hunter theyve been pushing, but still not enough for now.
by top deck you mean when your hand is empty? cause most 1 cost cards are bad when top decked so it's not a factor, this is actually better than most 1 cost cards late game at least you get more flexible mana placement and maybe a better trade..
there are 2 other druid/hunter cards we didn't see yet so maybe this have a lot of synergy
Its only hope is 1 drop, coin into this for a big 1 drop and a 1/1 on board. Not too bad. Unfortunately, this card will likely just never see play because of consistency problems.
But who knows? Maybe the cute little token is good enough reason to include this in your deck. Outside of that, its just too far a stretch.
There are some very clear archetypes this card might fit in (Token Druid and Quest Hunter are two examples) but Fire Fly this is not, as the most important thing about Fire Fly was your ability to play it on turn 1. There are cards like Scavenging Hyena or Helboar that might benefit from you having easy access to cheap beasts, and maybe if they print more cards that want you to play beasts or have beasts get killed this could be interesting, but right now I doubt we'll see a lot of it.
probably will see some play ...
Good for token druid. Not much else to say about that.
Hunter: I don't see that much synergy with hunter yet, because hunter already has Fresh Scent for buffing, and hunter already has a lot of other cards they prefer to play. But it might see play in quest hunter i guess
For whatever reason, this card actually took me a few seconds to understand it's simple effects. Must be because I just woke up. At any rate, I think this could likely be useful, and the concept of the flavor is kind of cute, but I have a feeling this is something I'll easily pass by until someone reveals the amazing combos to me.
Statwise is great, you need a minion but you get a lot for 1 mana.
Also I can't stop picturing that this is what happens when you cast it https://tenor.com/view/scrubs-zach-braff-jd-therapy-cat-gif-4932305.
Not a bad card. Generally cheap cards that add more cheap cards to your hand a pretty good. Fire Fly, Acorn Bearer, Bloodsail Flybooter, Pharaoh Cat, Sludge Slurper, and Springpaw are/were good cards. The only downside to this card is that it can't be used by itself as a turn 1 play. Though I think it is good enough that it will still be played anyway.
Lovely call-back to Ultimate Infestation, but without the excessive raw value. And so cute!
Historically, cheap cards that make cheap minions see play in constructed in one form or another.
Firefly was a staple in most decks that were either tempo, aggro or had elemental requirements until they rotated into Wild. Similarly Acorn Bearer and SpringPaw Lynx would see play in their respective classes decks as well.
So a buff spell that gives a minion +1/+1 in stats, makes a 1/1 token and adds a 1/1 token I believe will absolutely see play in constructed.
Druid loves using their buff spells on their tokens, and while they usually prefer AOE buff spells AoO gave Druid Ironbark, a 2 mana spell that gives +1/+3 and taunt and is free at 7 mana or more which has seen constructed play in nearly all Druid decks since that expansion launched, so it's not too hard to believe that Druid will find a use for this spell as well. Druids may also use their new spell Survival of the Fittest to make the tokens on the field and in hand 5/5 but that's a very slow option for aggressive Token decks.
Hunter's buffing tools are not quite as extensive as Druids, but AoO gave Hunter Hellboar, Scavengers Ingenuity and Scrap shot to make their beasts more powerful. And while Hunter would prefer to buff say King Krush, Zixor Prime or Augmented Porcupine, having Scrap Shot hit the beast token isn't terrible, as it makes a 1 mana 4/4 with a tribal tag relevant to Hunters for use of Kill Command, Houndmaster or even Starving Vulture if they need to.
At this time we've seen NONE of Hunter's specific class cards, I can only imagine they'll have another minion that benefits from being buffed or possibly from beasts that are summoned, I'm only speculating this synergy due to the cards ability.
They had to have known what they were doing when they made that name, lol.
It reminds me of both Alleycat and Springpaw. Both of which saw play. This is fairly similar to that in a lot of ways, so I feel like it'll see play as well.
Everyone says Fire Fly is stronger simply because you can play it turn 1, but this is an objectively stronger card overall when played on any other turn. Token druid might be back.
Seems good enough to run in anything token or small minion-based, but not an especially exciting card. If nothing else, at least it provides with some pretty cute art.
I was just to say that I'd bet you anything that those tokens are stinking cute - not disappointed
A comparison can be made to Fire Fly, but Adorable Infestation sacrifices consistency for tempo. While Fire Fly acts as both a 1- and 2-drop, Adorable Infestation demands another minion to buff on board, making it most times a 2-drop without being a 1-drop. The buff does add to more immediate tempo and gives Adorable Infestation strength over Fire Fly in that way. It really just depends on how consistently you have 1-drop on turn 1 for Infestation to be run.
Pro: great 1 mana card
Con:you can't use it on turn 1 and on turn 2 don't ensured a free trade
Pro: the artwork is super cute !
While all effects are pretty minor, the fact that they are bungled up in a single card can become really good, especially when said card is this cheap. Any deck that tries to take the board aggressively will consider this.
Card art is CUTE. :D
SO CUTE!
Cool useful card
The value and cuteness is overwhelming!!!!....wait wrong card name
THE BEGINNING OF A SUPERVILLAIN
With all cards revealed, I'm rating this even higher than I already did. The only thing keeping this in check is that you do need a minion on board.
Meh card but the cost makes it so it might see play
Need the coin to play this on T1, but a strong card for T2.
It's token is so cute. =)
This card is probably going to see play in aggro decks until it is nerfed or rotated.
The card art is absolutely, incredibly cute. The effect, not so much... At least we will get pounded to death by the adorable Marsuul Cub.
Great in token druid
Kinda simple, but effective. It's 3/3 worth of stats across three bodies for (1). Useless turn 1, but great value once you got a beast on the ground.
They seem pushing druid to the token way, the good old Savage Roar combo on turn 5
Okay that card is adorable lol.
When you think about this plus Gibberling... it's still okay.
Bring on the cuteness! With Gibberling aggro token druid is looking really adorable right now
Not the strongest of buffs, but it certainly is adorable!
This'll be an auto-include in Token Druid and Aggro Hunter. It just does everything they want.
