A lot of handbuff for Hunter lately. I've seen some of it used, but to not much benefit yet
But will it survive to next turn?
-=alfi=-
just one word: wow
I'm not sure this will be fast enough, especially in hunter.
Very slow and EASY to remove minion, i don't think it will see any play. Well unless hunter plays a lot of taunts to protect it, and even then you have to pray that your opponent doesn't have a spell that deals 3 dmg. Which obviously is very uncommon, because a LOT of 2 mana single-target removal spells deal 3 dmg.
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.
completely trash
I want to like this but it's just so bad. All the Caravans are. If it was end of turn it would be worth considering, but you absolutely cannot guarantee a 1/3 to stick for a turn, not on turn 2 and certainly not later.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Too easy to remove, but I really like the caravan flavours (and this one is the cutest)
Would be better in warrior, but ok with wolpertingers or your zixor in hand
4 Mana 7/7
Nice buff card
Start of turn effects have historically been bad since there is no guarantee they will ever trigger. Also 1/3 for 2 mana is below average, and I don't even know what hunter would want the handbuff for. So no, this will not see any play.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Looks bad to me. It won't live, and if it does, probably only one turn.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
This is the worst caravan of them all I feel and outside of Paladin I'm not impressed by any of them.
Seems useless..it just won't stick.
another 1/3 minion with good effect ... until survives.
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
now this is an easy trash card
Could it survive one turn? Is the payoff good? I don't think so.
OBLIVION!
Again, like the other caravans, I like the idea but feel its too slow.
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 don't think it's good enough, will probably not see play
dont see this surviving a turn to be impactful
Not a good card too slow and inconsistent
Great card. Surely will fit into a lot of hunter decks
nice
Kenny's little poet. 😇
solid
Kenny's little poet. 😇
I generally like cheap cards that must be dealt with, but man, this effect is so slow. End of turn would have made it feel much better.
Even if you get the effect, it's still just bad? Ok, Grimestreet Outfitter is still kinda playable in wild, but Hunter has a hard time piling minions in hand and has less benefit from buffing anyway.
Great card if it survives at least 1 turn
Rogue DH
This caravans are a great concept. And I feel this one will pay off
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Meh
I wish this was Paladin :(
hmm kelesath? jr?
This card is slow, like a caravan, and slow and steady wins the race.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
The payoff is definitly the best of all caravans, but this seems weird for hunters.
Nice. But it'll never live long enough to ever reach its destination.
Next please.
Nice
Too slow, too weak of an effect.
Very weak. I haven't really checked carefully but I can't think of any strong handbuff synergy in Hunter. No reason to play this at all.
I can see this surviving in hunter, and you can even protect it with secrets.
Not sold on the Hunter handbuff archetype
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Too slow. I doubt it'll see much use.
Handbuff Hunter isn't really a thing yet
start of your turn kills these caravan cards
Handbuff...Hunter? Hunter rarely has enough card draw to make Handbuff work in the class, not to mention that this has to survive a turn before you can start to get the buffs going. Won't see play.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Probably the worst of all caravans. This is way too slow and handbuffing is not something hunters want to do.
Arena > Wild > Standard
Interesting must kill, but won't give you that value, unless your opponent have no way to remove it soon enough, which again, seems unlikely.
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Coin play this hope to get 1 buff on ,get 2 buffs great, 3 buffs now we rolling .But the effect is bad man why not at the end of your turn?
These caravans just seem so slow and fragile. They have nice flavor, but let's see about the execution
hunter caravan better than the others i think
At start of your turn - for 2 mana nad 3 health it's too slow. Easy to kill. Maybe can be used one time. Not more.
If it survives...
Wolpertinger just turns into a 1 mana 4/4... My god...
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Handbuff is already usually not too great. A delayed handbuff is even worse.
Another buff card. Will survive? Maybe. A buff beast deck is coming
By far the worst caravan and the one that doesn't add up to much of your gameplay nor does it create more impact of board.
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
Very snowbally
A delayed effect for a delayed payoff. Not a combination that works in any class for the most part, especially in Hunter.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Not so good since it has to live at least one turn.
Handbuff is already slow and this is slower. Not terrible but there are better handbuff cards for Hunter already.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
I do not like these caravan cards, and this is no exception
Maybe if you get this out on 2, you'll get 1 tick out of it, but it will be a priority target.
Compare this to Grimestreet Enforcer at this card looks bleak. The Enforcer at least guaranteed a single round of buffs before it got clobbered, but this is too little tempo for a class that is famously focused on tempo.
I'm not sure how these "caravan" cards will play out, given how prevalent rush is as a keyword nowadays. They probably won't stick around often for their effects to trigger.
Prospector's Caravan seems strong, but its effect triggers at the start of the turn and that might not be reliable enough. It's an instant removal target.
Great card !
Don't think it'll survive till next turn...
"At the start of your turn" with a statline like that, it's asking a lot. I don't think Hunters will be interested enough about handbuffs to take that tempo loss.
Too slow unfortunately, one of the worse caravans. Won't see much play other than the first week of experimenting and random card generation
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Will not survive a round with such effect.
Even if it survives a turn your hand is buffed
I'm not online it's just your imagination
This is basically the Grimestreet Outfitter, but goes off every turn. Not to bad.
Exaclty - would defenitely see play if it was End of Turn but like this i guess it is to easy to remove - like of the other Caravans.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Not great, not terrible
Eh it requires to have minions in hand AND to survive a turn..not very good.

Hand buff Hunter incoming.
I'm afraid this will be too slow, Hunter can't really protect this kind of minions I feel like.
Slow handbuff, not buying it. You can maybe protect the caravan with a secret or two but it's still clunky and unreliable.
Would have been nice with "at the end of turn". Caravans stats are too weak for a "start of turn" effect...
Murlocs <3
2 mana 1/3 do nothing
The continuous buff is nice, so a bit of a soft taunt. But don't think it will generate enough value.
Maybe it won't survive. Best chance is played in curve or in turn 1 with the coin
Hand buff hunter? Since when hunters had hands?

What kind of deck would want to play this? The effect is best suited for tempo decks, but I don't think that Tempo Hunter would wanna play a 2 Mana 1/3 that isn't even a beast.

Handbuff never made it into decks and this isn't good enough.
The nest caravan, and won't see play for sure.
By The Holy Light!
good
Almost all Caravans seem week. This one is too slow for Hunter gameplay mostly If he want to maintain the control of the board
Hand buff doesn't feel great
Ribbit
All of these Caravan cards seem like junk. Maybe the effect goes off if you play it on turn two. Highly unlikely if you play it later, unless you're already winning anyway.
Probably one of the best Caravan cards, but still not great.
Looks good on paper, but not sure if it'll be that useful
Yech, that is really slow and definitely not worth the tempo loss
Not good stats, effect is bellow average.
This being in a deck with Rush minions makes it slightly more impactful and sticky, but yeah... it ain't good.
Better call Thrall!
Not great, unless it sticks around with no one doing anything for half the game
Even if this was an end of turn effect instead, I don't think Hunter has the card draw to capitalize on the hand buffing.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Probably the worst Caravan card, though none are particularly amazing.
good card
Will it survive?
I think not
This is an interesting take on hand buff. The only caravan card that I'm not completely sold on, but it could be just good enough to give midrange or control the opportunity to get established.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
slow and too easy to remove
Too weak, and too slow.
Not a big fan of the handbuff mechanics on hunter but in can't be worse than gadgetzan
Pretty expensive for the effect, you probably need it to activate at least twice to really feel like it was worth it but its body is way too fragile for that. Also I don't really see what deck this fits in anyway.
Caravans are bad.
I like buff archetypes. They are fun to play.
Other caravans seems stronger..
For The HORDE!
I want this to be good, because I'm a sucker for handbuff... but it's just so easy to remove. All the Caravans suffer that same issue.
Welcome to the site!
All the Caravans suffer from the same problem: not enough health to ensure they will stick around, and triggering at the start of turn.
I think we will have to see how slow the meta is to really know how these caravan cards are going to do. That being said, this is really slow. Didn't we already try hand buff hunter? Maybe this time it will work.
I dislike this card (and the caravan cards in general).
The start of turn effect really hurts this. To me this looks like a vanilla 2 mana 1/3/
