What Alleycat should have been in the first place.
Main issue is that there'S just not enough handbuffing in Hunter to consider this anything other than just Alleycat.
Good for Quest Hunter at least.
If only they nerfedStonetusk Boar instead of Scavenger's Ingenuity
Technically slightly better alleycat. Alleycat doesn't see play much right now, so I can't imagine that this will, unless handbuffs become suddenly viable in hunter.
handbuff is still a thing in hunter, and it's just 2/2 for 1.. quite solid anyway.. will see play regardless of handbuff.
Don't feel like there's a ton to say tbh. It's a bit powercrept Alleycat and good in Quest Hunter, but its almost a reprint of Alleycat and only better in some niche scenarios.
Holy Deathstalker Rexxar Zombeast fuel!
Okay in standard: RIP Scavenger's Ingenuity. (Why didn't they just HOF or nerf Stonetusk Boar instead) Scavenger's Ingenuity into Wolpertinger seems really good. Will see play in some kind of handbuff tempo hunter deck i guess? probably quest hunter as well. Maybe quest hunter will use a handbuff package because of this?
WILD: Well this is terrifying if this get's discovered from Deathstalker Rexxars heropower. Also R.I.P. Alleycat and Tabbycat you two were the cutest, but now replaced by a card that can copy stat buffs. R.I.P.
Alleycat reincarnated! Fantastic card for Hunter, has a beast tag and can be buffed. Will definitely see play.
At it's base it is an Alleycat, a decent and fair card. With Shan'do Wildclaw it is a pair of 2/2s, with Scavenger's Ingenuity it is a pair of 3/3s, with Deathstalker Rexxar it is just nuts.
I love this card because it is playable at it's base, but with synergy it becomes very impactful while still not feeling too powerful.
Nothing too amazing (aside from the Deathstalker thing), but handbuff isn’t really that great usually, so a card that would really want that might not be too good
With some luck Alleycat will still be played in decks that don't have handbuffs just for being too cute.
I can see that this replaces Alleycat in Battlegrounds.
It's a better Alleycat, but rn Hunter doesn't have much Pay-Off for early Beasts (If I remember correctly, the Reason why Alleycat was so good, was because Crackling Razormaw was good) . There's Scavenging Hyena, Fresh Scent and that's it.
Yeah, like others have said, Alleycat but better because of handbuffs. Play your cards right, and you can Tundra Rhino your way to an OTK with this. Plus it's freaking adorable!
Alleycat was a good card that saw play. This is a card that's pretty much strictly better, therefore it will see play.
Did you handbuff this? Not a problem, it's good when you do.
Maybe lore aficionados can clarify what exactly is this thing. Looks like cat-bird-deer thing that came straight from the last guardian.
Its powercreep on Alleycat, and it sports a very powerful effect. Even if it doesnt, alleycat has seen play for ages, so there's no reason to expect this not to.
If you can buff this big enough it can even finish the game with Tundra Rhino, but that's a long shot.
Alleycat with buff upside. Highlander Hunter would like to have this on turn 1 or as a 1 mana 6/6 with Scavenger's Ingenuity. Seems like a natural fit into most Hunter decks.
Did someone call for a lore expert? (bows). At your service.
A Wolpertinger is a creature from Germanic folklore said to live in alpine forests in southern Germany. In Warcraft, they are small creatures who are only seen during the holiday of Brewfest-- WoW's version of the Germanic Octoberfest-- and are attracted to the scents of festivities. They can only be seen by people who are drunk and can be obtained as pets for players during the holiday in September.
of course it is. I expect nothing less.
Thanks for the lore. Now tell me what do those few sober people see when you're taking this pet for a walk after a nice talk with a bottle of whiskey?
There is no lore on that, but I'm guessing that either the capture and domestication of one could possibly make them more generally visible, or people just see a drunk person with an imaginary friend.
A solid t1 play. Quest hunter approves as well. I am not sure about wild and deathstalker rexxar synergies, but this one should see some play in standard, in my opinion.
Oh my god I'm so in love with this card! I'm playing wild Hunter for the rest of my days! My golden deathstalker rexxar will be so pleased!!
Love it!
Awesome art and i realy like the card. There are some good buff synergys too!
We have seen one like this, so i guess we could predict how this card gonna work.
Alleycat saw tremendous play in Hunter decks when it was printed in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan until it rotated in wild.
Heck Alleycat even sees a lot of play in the battlegrounds, it's a great minion to pick on turn 1
This card is very much like Alley cat, 1 mana 1/1 that can summon another 1/1, however the difference is where Alley cat will summon a 1/1, this summons a copy of itself.
Back in Mean Streets when handbuffing was introduced to Hunter, the ideal turn 1 play was to play smuggler's crate, hit the alley cat, and then coin the alley cat for 4/4 worth of stats on turn 1.
If this card was hit with smuggling crate, you'd hit 6/6 worth of stats for 1 mana instead. In standard your options are a little limited - you can draw this minion with scavenger's ingenuity for +2/+2, or have Felboar die and give it +1/+1, or perhaps even have Scrap shot give it +3/+3, either way you're summoning 4/4, 6/6 or 8/8 worth of stats for 1 mana which is very cost effective.
where this minion really shines though is it's synergy with Overwhelm, making the 1 mana deal 2 to a minion deal 4 instead. 2 mana, deal 4 is possibly some of the best removal that could be printed, most 2 mana removal spells only deal 3 unless spell damage is being used.
I see what you did there with your signature, to spare you the part of the conversation you didn't wanted to have - smart
I guess it's time to FINALLY craft that defstokka.
Will see play in standard, for handbuff synergy if not just for being Alleycat.
A stronger Alleycat but rightnow we haven't a lot of hand-buffer effect. So it's juest a good 1 mana minion
Prettiest card in all the set.
Cute and powerfull! I think I will take it!
Alleycat but with good synergies right now.
It's disgusting. Kill it.
Or keep it alive long enough to buff with
then give your tokens Deathrattle or mass buff.
Alley Cat, but better. Nuff said.
If you sober up, you see that you haven't played anything.
Smaller doppleganger, you can't really do upgrade shenanigans but you can buff it somehow and end up with 2 low cost big minions
Really good Standard card. Awesome buff for [Hearthstone Card (Deathstalker Rexxar) Not Found].
Alley Cat saw a lot of play, and this is just a better version of that. Highlander Hunter is also in dire need of good one drops. Also it's based on my favourite WoW Companion Pet so I love it.
Cute, though.
Blatant power creep on Alleycat.
Hunter loves 1 mana beasts with an upside, so this is definitely going to see play. The fact that the bunny has devil elements to it is fitting because that's exactly how I think people will feel about this card after a few weeks.
A better version of alleycat if you can buff it up slightly.
Cutest zombeast ever :)
Excellent 1 drop, excellent value with any buff you can apply it.
It must be said: HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON?
Better Alleycat, good 1 drop and quest support.
Alleycat saw play, this one will too. And we have some hand/board buff this time around with Shan'do Wildclaw and that cute infestation thing.
Love the art
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutie.
That smile, that stupid smile lol.
It's smiling because is gonna kill you
It's like two Alleycat had a baby. And that baby's art was cuteness overload lol.
Honestly, I'm not too impressed. I mean it's fine, but... just fine to me. I'm sure it'll be broken because I said that.
Not the strongest of cards, but the art is simply adorable!
"Oh no, they both die to Flik Skyshiv, the card is awful!"
Seriously though, better Alleycat is awesome and this card alone makes me want to play Deathstalker Rexxar again.
