Even Hunter wet dream
Reload is finally real. Weirdly enough I'm not entirely sure if this is even that good in the current Face Hunter builds. Feels like a dead draw that only becomes good once you've gassed out at which point you might already be losing because you didn't steamroll hard enough. I mean...Voracious Reader does the same but it comes with a body and weirdly enough Face Hunter isn't even starved for draw.
Now where I think this will do some MAJOR work is in Quest Hunter. I've played that deck a lot during Stormwind and one of my most useful plays was...Loot Hoarder. Yeah. turns out that any card draw is pretty good when you can realistically close out the game by turn 7. This basically means that you can safely spam spells and don't have to worry about conserving ressources for later. If you topdeck this after dropping Tavish you probably just win. It's Kodobane for 2-mana and also a spell. This isn't a good thing btw, Quest Hunter, even in Standard has very one-sided gameplay, it's basically Quest Mage without Freeze effects in exchange for a much faster win condition. Be afraid (although thankfully the deck probably won't make it through rotation in one piece because Professor Slate carries a lot of matchups that are unwinnable otherwise)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Currently the card is simply bad. Hunters often have problems drawing, but this is the one meta where we have plenty of other options, from Multicaster to Barak Kodobane.
There is also the problem of where this card essentially fits into. Aggro tempo hunter would be the most obvious choice, so the vomit minion strat would then be followed up with a good 2 mana reload. Until rotation, however, Im not optimistic.
Super good reload for hunters. The #1 deck that will LOVE this card is Defend the Dwarven District, because that deck almost always has 1 maybe 2 cards in their hand. They really run out of cards a lot and Furious Howl fixes that. However Furious Howl will be good for any FACE hunter deck pre and post rotation, as it encourages aggro hunters to play a lot of "hand vomit" kind of playstyle. (Even worse than now..) Honestly i wouldn't be surprised if this gets nerfed to 3 mana, (Which would be bad for Wild... Cuz ODD Cost.) just like Voracious Reader did. After all Furious Howl often acts just like a pre-nerf Voracious Reader but it's basically at command instead of end of turn.
And in Wild this will 100% see play in Defend the Dwarven Districts that are not ODD costed. Also Spell Hunter will finally have some better draw, Rhok'delar finally gets more support!
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.
Face (palm) Hunter love...
Reload for Hunter ! But not sure if face hunter would want to play this - i see this working in Quest Hunter tough !
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
If Hunter needs reload this card will be awesome.
