    OUtside of the obvious Porcupine Support this also works with Sea Serpent Egg and ofc the new Neutral Legendary that resummons destroyed minions.

    Also pretty decent wiht Zixor if you want to play the lategame.

    Even if you don't have a DR minion available it'S still decent as just removal.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    It can enable pretty sich deathrattle combos. It has rush and enough attack to serve also as a remover. 

    But the artwork is a bit confusing. It doesn't look like the typical, cartoonish, artwork of HS. It looks a lot like Lion king, Disney, even Mtg style. I don't know, maybe they are just testing the waters...

    Strong card in general, but i am not sure about standard , because good DR cards (Mechs) rotating out.

    What? This is typcial for HS. Compare it to King of Beasts (GvG) or  Savannah Highmane.

    Hunters Deathrattle Support is just great atm. This and Nine Lives alone are already pretty powerful. The only Thing missing are some more strong Deathrattles outside of the new Legendary Beast.

    we're like one egg away from being close to making a new deathrattle hunter list, and i'm here for it.  You need a good earlygame egg for this card to be good though.

     

    This card should see play at some point unless they  just never print a good early deathrattle like devilsaur egg again.

    I feel like this slots right into a beast-centric midrange hunter, combined with strong deathrattles like Augmented Porcupine and Savannah Highmane.

    Cool, Deathrattle and Beast synergies. I am not quite sure how good this card will be, but if nothing else I will try and experiment with it a lot.

    This looks like a strong card, lets hope for some more Deathrattles on curve

    Nice synnergy with Zixor, Apex Predator. This card might also fit into a deathrattle-based Highlander Hunter.

    Very nice card.

    This is essentially a 4 mana 5 damage removal card, trigger a deathrattle.

    Insane value curving into this after playing Zixor, Apex Predator on turn 3.

    Only potential downsize I see is the beast tag if you are planning to use this with Scavenger's Ingenuity + Zixor Prime combo. It prevents the guarantee of tutoring the exact beast.

    Great for deathrattle hunter, and probably most other hunter decks. Is it just me or is it weird seeing an lion card art in HS. Feels out of place i.m.o.

    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 Circle of Life should play every time this card is played.

    Nice combo with porcupine again. Even if Scrap Shot buffed this or Porcupine it's a plus. So this is where Simba's wife went..

    A very good card. Even if you don't proc the Battlecry it's still a 4-mana "Deal 5 damage to an enemy minion", which is reasonable.

    Good card with deathrattles, but I'm not sure if there are enough on 3 for this to curve into. Sure, Augmented Porcupine and this would be the dream, but what else would you be hitting? Then again, a 4 mana 5-damage removal might just be good enough on its own.

    Hunter got a bunch of deathrattles this expansion.. 2 of them at the 3 mana slot so I can see this card being good, also it has rush and we still got quest and the side quest for rush minions.

    Amazing card that synergises really well with many different hunter deathrattles. In wild this will be absolutely crazy!

    It's like if you wanted to use Play Dead but pay a little more to also remove/damage something.  I like it.

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    Play Dead+ 4 damage. Probably fairly okay in any deck that wants to do something silly with deathrattles. At 4 mana, probably too expensive for battlecry doubler + 2*this card fiddles, but maybe that could do something.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    this is a good card for a deck with deathrattles, the stat line and rush means it'll trade and activate the deathrattle of the friendly minion (that augmented porcupine, for example)

    Finally some Deathrattle beast support instead of Deathrattle Mech support.

    Looks absolutely amazing, especially since deathrattle is something Hunter’s consistently get more support for

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    It's a good tool to clear a big threat even without the deathrattle effect. With that, it becomes amazing.

    I believe DR Hunter can make a comeback and it does so because of this card mostly, even though this card is 9 times out of 10 a win more card.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    This is amazing. (Cough cough sylvanas in wild) this has rush, so it can go with the side quest that summons a gryphon and can be drawn from the other gryphon. Solid 5/5

    4 mana deal 5 to a minion and trigger a deathrattle is insane tempo.

    For glory, honor, and gold!
