    This is literally just Cobra Shot but for 3 less Mana and with a dragon restriction. Just goes to show how bad that card was.

    Quick Shot but better.. I can't complain.

    Gets even more value with spell damage.

    ARES summons Erymanthian Huffer.

    ARES declares attack with Huffer .

    Adonis' hp reached 0. ARES wins!

    my god, cobra Shot really hasn't aged well.

    Considering the lack of olid turn 2 removal in Hunter I could even see this included in non-Dragon decks

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Moderately playable on it's own accord. Extra spicy if you're playing enough dragons for that to matter, which I'm not entirely sold on yet. Also, Hunter's tribes are all the fuck over the place.

    Excellent card for either Dragon Hunter or Spell Hunter. I expect this is going to be the next Animal Companion where 95% of Hunter decks are going to find a use for this.

    First this it comes to mind is cobra shot, but it also reminds me of quick shot, due to the cost, damage and conditional secondary effect. While cobra shot wasn't played, rapid shot was, and very often it didn't draw any cards, so this might be played, especially on decks like highlander that might play 2-3 dragons.

    I'm ready for Dragon Hunter to be a thing, but this looks like it will be a heavily-useful card either-way. As others have noted Quick Shot was a popular card for removal, even without drawing a card.

    2 mana deal 3 to a minion is already good enough. These spells usually have an additional effect (except you dark bomb, but oh well, you could go directly face). This one could be very good!

    Well .. I guess it's a better Darkbomb? Looks good, but .. hunter is receiving more "face is the place" cards, feelsbadman, when this class will get a control deck?

    2 mana deal 3 damage is always a good card. This even can double it.

    Also with spell damage Hunter and Vereesa Windrunner this card might be well enough. Might even push Vereesa Windrunner decks a bit.

    I always think Vereesa Windrunner didn't played as much as she deserves. I hope it is the time.

    Another revealed Hunter card aimed towards a more aggressive playstyle. I like it though, and if more "aggressive" Dragons are to be in this set, it could definitely be a viable Archetype.

    It really depends how much dragons hunter wants to run. Currently it seems he's better off without them.

    Not very bad at all, it is able to both control the board and apply pressure to your opponent. Holding a dragon shouldn't be too difficult, and the pay-off is definitely worth it. 3 damage is pretty significant, how often have you been frostbolted for lethal? and how often do you have your favorite minion get killed by a Flanking Strike? well this card does both, at the same time.

    Carrion, my wayward grub.

    The upside of this card is its basically good enough on its own to see play. 2 mana deal 3 to a minion is more than fine. The upside with a Dragon involved is also great. The downside is that I'm not sure if Dragon Hunter is going to work yet. We will see more cards and I'm sure it will be fine, but will it be good enough. Obviously even in Arena though this is just a fine cheap removal spell.

    Deal 3 dmg for 2 mana is always nice and removes a lot of early threats. This will of course mostly be included in dragon decks but will be played a lot even if the synergy doesn't trigger.

    This is almost definitely gonna see play, regardless of whether or not dragon decks become a thing for hunter. Worst case, it becomes a second Quick Shot for Reno decks

    If this pairs up with Primordial Explorer it can probably be placed into a smorc deck but I can see other better fitting cards for smorc hunter compared to having two specific combo cards.

    While very powerful in a dragon hunter deck (if it becomes a thing), this card is good on its own. I just wonder how aggresive will the remaining dragon hunter cards be. For now, they don't seem that aggresive with cards like Primordial Explorer and Carrion Drake.

    More dragons? Yes please!

    A good removal, but i don't know if hunter needs this kind of card. I never knew how people make use of Cobra Shot, so i feel the same about this card even though Corrosive Breath is stronger if you have some dragons. If you need to clear the board to win - do it, if you need to hit face - so hit the face,  but when i see this mix i'm at a loss =)

    People saying that Hunter is aggressive. Of course it is! Look at the Hero Power. Hunter is, and will always be, an Aggro/Tempo Class. 

     This card is just good. Even without the extra damage supplied by a Dragon. I used to run [Hearthstone Card (Faerie Dragon[\card] back in the day and its still a fine choice as a two drop in any kind of aggressive deck as your opponent has to trade with it to remove it.

    Nice aggressive removal tool, along with Toxic Reinforcements an aggro Dragon Hunter could be a thing. However right now it is too early to truly determine if such a deck will exist, but this card would for sure make the cut.

    This card is very good.

    If you are holding a dragon is amazing, if not you still clear something and not feel bad about it.

    So is not that you have to run a high amount of dragon (like 8) to make it consistently be active, if you just run a small amount of them the card will just be awesome sometimes and good the other. If your run zero or 1-2 dragon maybe the card is not worth it.

    Pretty solid.

    2 mana for 3 damage on two targhet is very strong. Cobra Shoot has never seen play for the mana cost, but in a dragon deck this card it's an auto-include (but only in that deck)

    Deal 3 damage for 2 mana is an effect that most classes have access to. The conditional 3 face damage are nice, but I don't think that a Dragon Hunter will be more a control deck that does not rely on spells like this to push face damage. This card will most like see only niche play.

    Fits well in aggressive hunter decks which the dragon hunter deck is likely to be. Without activation, 2 mana for 3 damage on minion is not great but not horrible either, so should make this card see play.

    Don't really see the hype. It's a good spell for it's cost and all, but the 3 face damage really doesn't look as broken as some other stuff of this expansion. I admit it's really cool though.
