    This looks really good on paper as long as we get some decent beast to go alongside with it.

    Midrange Hunter always loved Rush and the ability to set this up and use it whenever you really need it seems pretty good. You can just jam it on 2 and have it up for whenever you need a board swing.

    I wonder if Tavish Stormpike could somehow weasle his way into a playable deck now that you can give any beast you summon rush for basically free (probably still too slow though).

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Most good beast tend to already have rush so if you're playing it its likely because its still a free 2 damage, up to 6 all in all. In fact, being able to deal damage is likely why this card is even in the deck. Forget the rush, just go face, because its hunter and hunters go face.

    Im still not sure where this could ideally fit, because spending two mana to do nothing isn't exactly something hunters can do without dying. But we'll see.

    Thankfully the hunter location can only target friendly minions! We wouldn't want Big Game Hunter going from S-tier to God status!

    Don't the majority of beasts already have rush on them? Unless more beasts are printed in the expansion that don't have rush, I don't see this location as good enough for the current big hunter. Maybe there will be more face hunter support, but even then, this might be too slow

    Looks to be at least a decent card for aggro. Well, more for the attack buff, but even Face Hunter can't entirely ignore the board at all times.

    Really good location. This will see play in any deck that uses a couple of beasts, and also BIG Beast Hunter will probably include it. This seems pretty good.

    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.

    Only one of the three Wildseeds has rush, so you are going to want this on the board when they wake up. Also, there are probably some good non-rush beasts you'll be happy to use if there's a good chance you can help them out a little bit. This is a 4-star card because it opens up a lot of tactical and strategic possibilities for very little cost.

    Bit of a weak location, though giving the slower Wildseeds rush might save it.

    It's cheap and the effect is not too bad in the early game. Not sure it will see play, but it's definitely not terrible.

    This location can be used with a lot of beasts strategies (aggro, midrange, big). If it was played before any beast can make it useful for trading as soon as it arrives on the board. Very strong option
