Holy shit what? That's actually kind of insane. It's a 3-mana 1/6. That is basically an unkillable statline unless you're very far behind. Remember Miscreant? That guy was onnly a 1/5 and had to be nerfed despite not even having a continuous effect.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Great stats for its effect, but still this needs to be on your board along with preferably more than one beast, and then you need to attack with this as well. Too clunky.

Very very swingy. Has the potential to be seriously busted, but needs a lot of setup.

I like what this card can do. It will be difficult to remove, but won't necessarily require many resources to do so. Get this on board right before a big swarm turn and you can reap some nice benefits.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
I want to see this do well... but it just doesn't have the support to merit the 3 slot
Demon in Hunter is weird, but the do have Demon Companion I suppose. This is very sticky with such a high health total, I expect to be nerfed to 5 or 4 health somewhere down the road. Drop this early, your opponent has to remove it, or else you slam down some beats then buff them all and it becomes very hard for your opponent to get the board back.
Fun idea but probably too slow. Love the flavor though.

There's so many things you can work with this card, mostly because as a 6 health 3 drop its nearly guaranteed to survive a turn. Even if it doesn't your opponent would have likely sunk everything to get rid of this menace.
Before we start creaming our pants, there's really not alot of cards that dishes out wide beasts at a timely 4 mana curve. Even at the most optimistic, this will work with Rats of Extraordinary Size for full value, or simply buff a couple of minions at most.
But if midrange beast hunter is your game, there's no reason why this wouldn't see play.
Too slow, needs Animated Broomstick and a full board of beasts to be any good.
Hunter can swarm the board with beasts easilly, but i don't have any hope on the archetype.
By The Holy Light!
I feel the same way about this card as I do about every other swarm hunter card I have seen this expansion, I really want it to work, but realistically don't think it will. It does have strong stats, but you have to spend 3 mana then wait a turn, and if your opponent doesn't have removal you get to do the same thing druids get to do for 2 mana without the wait or the beast requirement.

Mm seems too slow and does not have a tribal that works well on hunter.
Seems to be a lot of support for filling the board with cheap beast tokens for Hunter this expansion, so I think this could be pretty threatening. Probably gets off 2 procs before it dies.
Meh i think it wont be that good. Even if it survives a turn, the buff wont be good enough for some kind of beast token "swarm" hunter deck. If it had rush then sure, it would have been strong. But waiting 1 turn for the effect is way too slow.
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.
I think this could either be very good or to unreliable to see play. Sure the Statline is good for 3 Mana but it seems kinda slow.

Too slow.
Too slow for it to work... If it had rush it would be too strong so... Hard to balance...

6 health for 3 mana is quite chunky. I guess you could play this T3, and then small beasts like Wolpertinger on T4 to start snowballing. Or maybe you could use this + Animated Broomstick + Rats of Extraordinary Size to regain the board for 10 mana? Maybe even throw in an Devouring Swarm, so you get 3/3 Rats?

Awkward and slow.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
If this had rush, it'd be 5/5. Without it, 2/5, nobody is going to ignore this when it comes into play.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
While this card has no rush, remember that Hunter has access not only to [Hearthstone Card (Broomstick) Not Found], but also [Hearthstone Card (Trueaim Bow) Not Found] and Devouring Swarm. Will this suffice? I do not think so, but less because of this card not having rush but the trickiness of sticking a wide board of beasts that curves well into this card. Sin'dorei Scentfinder and Rodent Nest require effort to pull off as well and that just asks for too much.
Weird stats and great ability. Should fit in Beast Hunter perfectly.
6 health is ok. But in hunter is just too slow. No matter the format, except for a meme deck, this is another pack filler sadly.

No, don't see it doint much of anything at al

Lol those stats for a hunter card are hilarious. This minion will definitely stick around if you play it on turn 3, which isn't bad. Then follow up with some beast the next turn. Is that good? Probably not as there's better 3-drops to play. It's obviously meant to be played in the rat deck where you buff as many rats as possible
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Damn, Hunter sure has a use for beast synergy & buff
This is interesting! The artwork is very similar to the previous piper in the game, hope I won't mistake one for the other
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
can be devastating

Weak attack on its own, so if the opponent has a board this is easy to trade away. I think it will be too weak but we'll see.
Good if played on curve, the next turn using low cost beasts and swarming. I think they recycle the art of the witchwood Piper, if I remember well the pose is exactly the same
It has enough health to be annoying to remove, but it doesn't seem all that great an effect. Doubt it'll see play
Needed Rush to be worth it, imo. Too small a buff even across many minions, and doesn't gain any stats itself so doesn't actually do much outwith the buff.
