That's a pretty nice 2-drop
Getting a free ping for every spell makes this a pretty great partner for Lock and Load as your payoffs for Spell Hunter
Violet Teacher, only half the price and the tokens have rush. If this spell based hunter deck becomes a thing, this will be one of the cornerstone pieces.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Good stats. Good effect.
Return of spell hunter? Tough this could work with any hunter with spells.
It's a bit slow though as you need mana to drop this and cast a spell to get value. Best scenario is prolly this played on curved and it survives a turn. Reminds me of Bug Collector with more upside but more conditional effect.
I'm also assuming the Hyena is a beast, so there can be some beast synergy here.
Greatbeffect for thecost without lacking stats
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Looks decent. Now print some 0 mana hunter spell to make this work efficiently!
spell hunter is making a comeback in standard?
Very nice. Good stat line for cost, impactful effect and some beast synergy with the tokens. Even only getting a few triggers will be worth it. Just give hunter a few more cheap spells and this guy will be very strong.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
It's not like this is sticking around forever, so you don't need to go out of your way to load up on spells.
I think you probably don't play it on curve unless you have to, but that's nice -- it's good to have cheap cards that get more value later in the game. Kinda like ranked spells!
This actually makes me want to build spell heavy hunter again

I hope this takes away from FACE being the dominant hunter deck
4 Mana 7/7
Think this effect would've been more fitting for a Priest class as a hunter card, eh.
More support for spell hunter... but it's relatively low impact. We have yet to see something outstanding for that archetype.
Effect is nice on a solid cheap body, but feels kinda meh overall. This won't see much play
Small spell Hunter looking like it might have some potential. This seems like a decent payoff that can help with board control. RIP Rapid Fire though.
This is essentially a Violet Teacher but for half the cost and the tokens have rush. While Hunter doesn't have the wide board buffing potential to take advantage multiple tokens, the class does have beast synergies that work well with this like Scavenging Hyena. A Spell Hunter archetype seems to be forming with this, Barak Kodobane, and the return of Lock and Load in the core set, but I'm still skeptical of the archetype's consistency and ability to win games. What will the archetype do while it's waiting to get enough mana for their Lock and Load turn? Will a bunch of random Hunter cards generated in one or two turns be enough to win the game?
For glory, honor, and gold!
It's okay, I wonder if spell hunter will become a thing.
Great stats and even just dropping secrets this can be interesting.
Phase stalkers annoying cousin from out in the country.
great stats. will see play in wild secrets deck

I mean I appreciate that they seem to be rather aggressively pushing the theme for hunter, that said these sort of decks either need to be hitting face a lot with spells or needs to have some full on board clears to further support a control game plan. I very much doubt we will be getting the latter and for now at least we have limited options for powerful cheap face damage. So with what we've seen I'm not all that convinced.
good card for spell hunter to token minions. Would work great with quest hunter in wild
A good card! Let's see how many good spells they'll have to make use of it.
Historically, I tend to not really think of Hunter as a class that deals with lots of spell slinging other than of course, Spell Hunter (which being a minion, does kinda turn this off). With Lock and Load added to the Core set though, there is quite a bit of potential there. Otherwise though, it's probably not that strong at the moment. Would like to see some support for it though.
Good card for spell hunter support, putting pressure controlling the board too
This will most definitely see play
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This will only be a good card in spell-heavy decks. Might need to see the rest of the expansion to judge how this can be used and what archetype it fits in best. It doesn't feel like a good Hunter card, even though the effect is good.
Face is not anymore the place. Hunter is getting slow
Comboes well with the new legendary
-=alfi=-
This is just a decent card to me by itself.
I'm sure there is a synergy with this yet to be revealed.
Banned for spamming.
Solid-statted minion with an upside. Seems like the centaur cards are pushing Spell Hunter, it will be interesting to see if it'll be enough for Professor Slate & co to finally see actual play. After all, stuff like Rapid Fire rotates, as does Vereesa Windrunner (not sure if the latter would've even made the cut if the deck will become more tempo- than value-oriented).
I´m not very sold on this one, let´s see how it goes.

I really like everything about this card but don't know if it's powerfull enough.
This is a great 2 drop if you have some small spells in hand. Is spell hunter going to be a thing again?
Disclaimer: if the above is factually incorrect or complete rubbish it is definitely both intentional and comedy genius.
easy to remove, so doubt it will see much play
I'm not online it's just your imagination
there ctrl stuff cards are not for hunter i think, card is okey but requires to play tons of stuff to make it good
Neat card, cool art, but Hunter just doesn't have the draw to support a Violet Teacher-like effect.
spell hunter is back?
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Lock and load and this looks good .Maybe we get a card that reduces the spells by 1
This is very good in a deck with Barak Kodobane and the low cost allows you to spam small spells and get tons of value. Soft taunt as well just like Phase Stalker
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Probably one of the strongest Hunter cards in a long time.
You can do a lot with this very early on
Also a suitable replacement for Unleash + Hyena
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Good 2 Drop and also some sort of Support for Spell Hunter ... interesting card.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
It's kinda interesting for slower decks and for aggro matchups... mmmhhh...
This looks good, it has premium 2 drop stats and the 1/1s with rush can be quite helpful. But i'm not sold on it. Hunter doesn't have that many 1 cost spells after rotation, and unless they print some i'm not sure it will see play. It's also unfortunate that they printed this after Unseal the Vault is rotating as well.
I think it will see experimentation, but as long as it doesn't get enough support i don't think it will be that good YET. But once it does get some support in expansions after FitB it might be really good.
If it does get plenty of support, it might be a great card in some control/combo hunter deck in order to survive early game.
Edit: Oh and hunter needs some 2 drops after rotation, so it might as well see play in aggro/tempo/secret hunter just for th 2/3 statline. It has some potential, but i'm just not really seeing it yet.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
A decent 2 drop with fine stats. 3 hp will help this stick on the board.
OBLIVION!
Cheap spells hunter archetype becoming a thing right after Rapid Fire rotates ? Now I'm sad.
anothe spell hunter card that is not a spell. when will we see the spells that will support this arche type?
A good card in decks that need to have few beast in deck. Like that you can alway draw the beast you want with a specialized card adn still have a board before drawing it thanks to this kind of cards and spell that summon beasts.

So, I could use those cheap hyenas to feed the queen of hyenas Scavenging Hyena? Hihihihi!
We'll have to see more spells before this can be certified as problematic. On its own, its a decent card with an upside. But it will likely be slowed down by hunter's atrocious draws.
Its at least a better Violet Teacher for all that's worth. And in hunter, that's probably worth as much as an 8 year old's allowance.
They are really trying to push Spell Hunter.
Decent two-drop with an upside which also makes it kind of a soft taunt. Like it
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Cheap. Cool effect. Hunter has a lot of cheap spells.
Really good card.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Too bad Unseal the Vault is rotating, but I might try it with this in Wild. This might also make Scavenging Hyena playable again.

I don't care if Lock and Load ends up still being meme status, I will play the sh*t out of the deck because of this card.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Good card, especially for the now rotated quest hunter... However it may be good to create huge scavenging hyenas
I think this has potential.
Nice, but Hunter needs a way to generate or draw a lot of cheap spells to really make use of this.
Spell hunter is definitely getting a lot of support
A combo-ish value card that relies on Hunter having and drawing a bunch of cards. I think this hit the wrong class (like the DH deathrattle guy). Warrior likes this in the rush/aggro deck.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
crazy good with Scavenging Hyena. definately will try a spell heavy deck with these. maybe even secrets.
Dunno if I would want it in my deck
Spell hunter!
A good tempo card, might be somewhat like phase stalker, in a low cost minion to focus on in early game?
Tempo smorc smorc smorc, but less chargey! I think this will be fun with even just a few spells. Maybe we get to see a new spell hunter come about?
Power for huntyy
I can MAYBE see this as an arena card... other than that, it's really lack luster.
Lock and Load is a card
Great card spell hunter comeback?
Good stats and can poke even more for damage.
Ribbit
Make Yogg 'n Load Hunter great again!

This would be the second card supporting a more spell focused hunter after Barak Kodobane. No idea if it will happen this expansion, but it's clear Blizzard is trying to make it happen.
let's see if Spell Hunter returns with it
I'm getting the vibe that spell hunter may be getting a push. Would you need some kind of area beast buff to make it worthwhile?
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Cool for quest hunter
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
Good for quest hunter
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
Good card in Beast themed Hunter decks, but will it be good enough for competitive decks though?
Really good card, no more words.
By The Holy Light!
crocolisk with an upside. I am not certain if it fits in Aggro or control or both
Arena, no way in standard.
even in arena is just meh
I'm loving the idea of spell hunter using this.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
I loved old spell hunter, so I like this!
spell hunter needs alot more support before being a legit deck, but a good start
Massively underrated card, does not need to be played in old spell hunter archetype at all, this is a new card in a new expansion, people being obsessed about old decks and not seeing potential new decks emerging are so irritating. Also it's a minion so why people even mention spell hunter is beyond me, this card clearly supports aggro/midrange decks with cards like Demon Companion, Adorable Infestation, Open the Cages, Tame Beast (Rank 1), Scavenging Hyena, Barak Kodobane, etc... Might even see the rise of Parade Leader
A good card for some Midrange hunter.
I like it! But how to reduce spells in hand with the hunter?
For The HORDE!
Spell Control Hunter? Weird.
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Violet Teacher but better? More like Magic Dart Frog but better, am I right?
Me stats, decent effect. Seems like a solid card.
Interesting engine for spell decks. Probably a meme, but looks fun to try it.
2 cost 2/3 that does nothing on turn 2, and on turn 3 requires a spell be played? Seem more a card for control deck rather an aggresive one. Of course it could be played later in combo with some spells to maintain the control of board
Is spell hunter really gonna be a thing?.... we'll see
With the new hunter legendary, this card is awesome.
Meh
Hello spell hunter. Professor slate might finally be meta??
with 1 spell it more than pays for its cost - can snowball out of control
Good in Arena at least. Maybe good enough for constructed in a Lock and Load package? Sounds like a meme, but you never know.
Arena > Wild > Standard
good
I really like this card. It's a much cheaper, much better Violet Teacher for a class that never really made use of these kinds of strategies before. It's incredibly powerful, and might just show up in aggressive lists because it threatens to turn spells into Rush minions. I would like to see some lists actually built around it, but that might be too much of a stretch.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Nice card
so good.
Nice effect - fine with rush, so can be used to clear board and buff Hyena
An okay card, nothing too gamebreaking though
Not bad stats , nice card
good stats and fine effect
Cool effect but I doubt the Lock and Load archetype will work. Generating a bunch of below average Hunter cards won't win you the game.
3 mana 1/3 weapon saw play for ages, this will definetily see play too.
Too slow but maybe secret hunter would work well.
Hunter has quite a few low cost spells to make this useful, especially with twinspell spells. I think the biggest issue is running out of steam, but maybe the new hunter legendary will help compensate.
I'm gonna need to sit down and play with a lot of these new Spell Hunter cards before I totally understand what they're going for. Like, this is a nice bonus for additional spells... but is it enough to include it in your deck?
Welcome to the site!
It’s certainly not a BAD bonus on a 2 2/3, but Hunters are so good at summoning 1/1 rushers that I can’t imagine this being exciting.
