Good Face Hunter support I think? I don't know how easy it is to consistently activate this but it's a very strong finisher or tempo play.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Seems interesting, however i don't really see a deck that wants to run this. You need to cast 3 spells before you can really use Ancient Krakenbane, which means its often a dead card in hand. Which means -1 card drawn from Furious Howl, which is hunters best draw. I think this is just too slow for most hunter decks, and Defend the Dwarven District hunter probably prefers running more spells instead. After all that deck already has plenty of burst dmg, so no need for a 3 mana deal 5. This seems too inconsistant and slow to me...
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.
The main problem with this card is activating it, because hunters dont tend to fill half their deck with spells.
But if you do manage to activate it, its low cost means you can brann it out for 10 damage on 6, and that must be respected as an option.
Its not lightning the world on fire, but at some point someone will make it happen. The rewards are simply too good to ignore.
I really like this actually. Questline Hunter may not be Tier S anymore, but support for it would be appreciated. This does that. The issue with Questline Hunter is that you may run out of gas and are forced to integrate other mechanics to make it thrive. The Naga draw packages, and now damage package, will find a great home on it. It's basically Kill Command with legs
