Extremely good against control decks, since you will most likely kill a taunt, but kinda meh against aggro (with The Coin). In the latter case you are mostly going to kill 1-drops for 2 mana, but I guess the downsides pale before the highroll potential.
[edit] In wild this would be an auto-include in spell hunter, since it counters the popular decks - tempo/miracle mage and big priest. Curious to see whether spell/secret hunter would make a comeback there.
Seems like a strong card. Lots of value for that 2 mana but you don't get to choose when/which minion is destroyed. Makes hunter secrets a bit more diverse as well considering the others in standard are mostly just triggered by attacks.

Will it pop, if your opponent has no minions?
Obviously weak if your opponent has no large minions, but most decks have at least a few. They can play around it by dumping some small minions, but you can still randomly hit the large minion anyway, similar to Obsidian Statue; additionally, this opens them up to cards like Unleash the Hounds.
Another thing this card does is potentially disrupt combos that involve spells plus minions, such as Archmage Antonidas shenanigans.
Seems pretty good, will probably see play. Especially if Mountain Giant mages remain common.
I always have a lot of decks during spoiler season if you want some ideas; remember, most of the internet would not function if there weren't plenty of users willing to volunteer their time to provide content and assistance for one another!
It won't, since there isn't anything to destroy. Same with Never Surrender!, Competitive Spirit etc.
Fuck, that’s good
Time to brush off the dust of that Chief Inspector again...
Crazy good. Effect is strong and makes people do awkward/suboptimal plays, to play around it.
Also one of the few secrets that, when played on turn 2 will most likely survive one turn to activate Masked Contender or make sure you get extra value from Eaglehorn.
Edit: Forgot about coin lul. I think it's still decent at enabling those two cards, but only 50% of the time I guess.
I like that their pushing control-style hunter
It’s “after” so not very good against conjurer’s but every secrets matter coz it makes opponents harder to find out what the secret is
This card may not be good enough to play on its own, but will see play from hunter’s pack
Seems obvious but can this be triggered if there are no minions to destroy?
worst community ever
Shouldn't a pressure plate flavor wise trigger during an interaction of a minion? Like summon or attack.
nice question
I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
Very strong in conjunction with Freezing trap since it gives hunter more than one secret that deals with large minions effectively, and they're triggered differently. I also like that this isn't triggered by a minion attack, since that's the usual play-around against hunter secrets: just don't attack.
Had the same thought
Amazing card! Hard counters Gadgetzan Auctioneer, kills buffed minions, makes Linecracker druids cry- I love it!
ARES summons Erymanthian Huffer.
ARES declares attack with Huffer .
Adonis' hp reached 0. ARES wins!
