Thank the gods that there aren't many ways to reduce card costs for Hunter. Tradeable is good... the 10 mana makes this really difficult to work into a deck even with things like Audio Amplifier. There is a LOT of support for running big beasts, the question is will the new meta accommodate to a control hunter?
I think you're thinking of this backwards. This isn't a 10 mana spell with Tradeable as a bonus, this is a Tradeable card that occasionally makes you a game-winning board. I don't know if the cards will exist to make big Beast Hunter work, especially with Mountain Bear and Ichman rotating, but if such a deck does exist I'm sure it would want this.
If you can juice it it'S pretty damn strong. Basically N'zoth except no diluted pool so you can still run highmane, Wild Seeds and other random stuff.
Why does it have Tradeable though? I get that it's a brick in the mulligan, but there's no benefit to putting this back into your deck since we have no spell cheating anyways.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I guess this is a finisher for a Big Beast Hunter deck. I really like that it's tradeable so it doesn't have to sit in your hand being useless for an entire game.
This card's play win-rate cannot be high. At least for the next expansion anyway.
There's simply not many beasts you can set this up for the win, and all the best beasts are so goddamned expensive this card will be ludicrously inconsistent. The best you can hope for is setting up big dreams for an Amplified Elekk or King Krush so you can just straight up play this on 10. Because any time beyond turn 10 Im not sure hunter can actually survive it.
At very least it has tradeable. Because there's so many matches where this card is just straight up redundant. So at least youre not screwed with this card in hand all the time.
But whatever misgivings I may have, this card is definitely a card that can only get better.
Insane reload for Big beast hunter. This also works perfectly with the new beasts and running the wild seed package and/or smaller minions won't mess up the ress pool. It's just a shame that Mountain Bear rotates.
However i think the Big beast hunter archetype will be fine, especially with all this new support. This all seems really good 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.
This could be a great board-reload for Hunter, if it didn't already meant that you have wasted 4-5 big minions already ... Just can't see this being a game-winning ingredient
The Stranglethorn mentality is to be happy with the bare necessities.
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Crazy top end for Big Beast Hunter, probably just ends games on the spot.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
