New Hunter Minion - Dinotamer Brann

Oh boy. I can already see some Dane videos. Also, Brann Bronzebeard into Dinotamer Brann. The combo is admittedly very slow, but it's the hunter equivalent of Brann + Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk. Imho this legendary will see a lot of play in wild some day. Reno Hunter became playable mainly due to the inclusion of Deathstalker Rexxar (and maybe N'Zoth, the Corruptor) and an 18-damage burst combo sounds nice.

[edit] Btw I like how the GOOD guys get a highlander effect; they seem connected to each other. The issue I am seeing is that they have a very narrowed down usage, i.e. they are only useful in one specific archtype.

Eh.

I mean - it's okay. It's kind of fun. I wouldn't play a highlander deck for the effect though. I'd just play Leeroy 2 turns earlier.

I have no idea how good this is, BUT, it makes me WANT to play Hunter, and I think that's very good design.

Hunter is a class that needs consistency to work, so no-dups decks work contrary to this. But when this hits it's gonna feel so good and so satisfying. It'll definitely see a lot of experimenting. I hope it ends up being good enough. 

Standard is gonna need some good highlander support if they ever want to see these cards see play.

I hate these kinds of card design that summon already existing Legendary cards and isn't a continuous effect. It often just feels tacked on.
"Hey, why not have a legendary card that, get this, SUMMONS another Legendary card! Isn't that great!?"

The flavour is pretty dope though.

I don't think it'll be very strong but the idea of summoning King Krush(es) is appealing to me.

So, if you are playing a Reno Jackson list in Wild, luck out and have this and Brann Bronzebeard on turn 10, you can do 16 face damage? Seems like a one-in-a-million shot.

I think a 7 mana King Krush plus a 2/4 is something to be considered, even if you whiff the Brann Bronzebeard when playing a highlander deck. Yes Hunter doesn't have the highlander support that the Kabal (Warlock, Priest, Mage) classes got in Mean Streets. However any Reno Hunter will be playing this certainly. Standard does need a stronger build around card for any highlander stuff to be played. In wild, however, I'd bet we see some Reno Hunter for sure post launch.

Most fun I've been having with this game lately is with Reno Dragon Hunter. Throwing this into that is a no brainer. Who cares if these cards are unplayable in standard, that's not the only game mode!

Not sure if this will find it´s way in standard but could work in wild. 

If you have another Brann in wild, they both can ride a dino.

The effect is powerful, and with Hunter's ability to generate resources, I can actually see a Highlander Hunter popping off, especially in wild.

If there are enough good hunter cards to make a decent Highlander deck in Standard, chances are there will be a more dominant hunter archetype that does the same but performs better in every aspect. And I don't see a Highlander Hunter filling a specific niche of an archetype that couldn't be made better by just running a normal deck. There is nothing unique that this deck could do, except for Brann. And for it to be better than its 2-off variant you would need to draw as good as its counterpart early and midgame (which is made harder because of the Highlander nature of the deck) AND draw Brann till turn 7. It just doesn't seem very consistent.

Wild is obviously something else, it's just a good upgrade for an already decent deck.

If this were Hearthpwn I would vote 'playable' for Standard and 'very good' for Wild.

I just realised all the highlander legendaries are terrible because of Bomb Warrio

So where is this bomb warrior now..?

Amazing how wrong we were! Tbf, we didn’t know Zephrys at the time of those comments.

And bomb warrior is totally a thing! A friend hit legend yesterday with it. Went 10-0.
