I don't think it's as good as everyone is giving it credit for, but hey face hunters are losing a lot of cards anyways (Trampling Rhino, Adorable Infestation, Demon Companion, Intrepid Initiate, Rinling's Rifle, Wolpertinger, Guardian Augurmerchant) so if it turns out to be insane then let them have it I guess.

I can't find it. They have it for LoL. Why not LoR?

So many great articles from you!  Thanks for posting on a slow Sunday as well. 

Deadly Arsenal being played unironically?!  What a time to be alive!

oh jesus mary and joseph what in the hell is this

Does this patch has a "know issues" somewhere?

I've found A LOT of them, and many on things said to be resolved with this patch...

I have the same issue, plus some other sections have 200% completed... 🤦🏼‍♂️

Noticed that too, i've played a game hoping for another 40 dust, but no bonus from this messy indie company videogame

Hmm. Sounds like one of the more obscure interactions they might not've tested for. From what you describe it either shouldn't trigger the Secret if the countered thing was the only card played in that turn, or give you the countered thing if Plagarize goes off. 

7/14 with Taunt

Oh no...

I'm predicting nerf to 2/3 or 2/4.

Christ, pirates in Warrior and Rogue...

I lost a standard game to shadow priest who lethal'd me on turn 4 :) (I was beast druid, had a great opener, and fought for board)

That's a lot of 2/5 3-drops

yeah that’s what I suspected, I have bugs with messaging either receiving them or sending them too

I’m not sure what the solution is,seems like a bug they have to fix at some point?

This card is still strong just getting 4 damage from it. That's 2 hero powers. Face Hunter likes all the chip damage it can get.

You would play this when you get your hero power to 0 mana with the quest.

The only bad part is drawing it too early.

 Also this card is a distraction to shield you from a bit of damage because enemies will be forced to destroy it.

Not to mention discovering this card off RNG could be game winning in other classes.

Its also 2 turns earlier. If Im going up against an aggro deck, of which the healing is the most relevant against, Lightshower Elemental will heal me for 8 and block at least an attack 99% of the time, as opposed to this card which has a much less chance of appearing, never mind actually doing something.

Both have their drawbacks, and advantages. But if I need a heal and have to choose between the two, I'd go for the one that comes out 2 turns earlier with a taunt.

Why is it always "choose between the two"? You can and should run both because they have real synergy.

That's why I specified "up to". It doesn't need to deal 8. It just needs to deal enough to kill you. The fact that you can that much damage for basically free is insane and I don't understand how nobody picks up on it.

While I agree face is stronger Ickman worked out better than anticipated. With the new guy who adds colossal minions to the bottom and most colossals so far are beasts. I think that could be a really fun deck. 

Yes this card is crazy powerful, I agree. I still think with with the right tools big beast hunter could still be a decent deck.  It depends alot on what cards come in and what cards go out for other classes, especially in core.  Still I have high hopes as it was my favorite deck of Alterac.

Today's Questline Hunter probably wouldn't use this because of how few slots they have for minions (most lists just run Barak Kodobane, Multicaster, and Wandmaker - 5 minions that all draw or generate more spells).

That said, rotation could change the deck a lot, so I think it's worth reserving judgement a bit. Specifically, Overwhelm and Bola Shot are rotating out, while many of the other cards key come from the Core Set (Arcane Shot, Tracking, Explosive Trap, Quick Shot). Depending on what sticks around in the new Core Set 2022, this deck could actually want more spell-synergy minions.

I do not think this one will see that much play

"you get up to 8-extra damage in one turn for just 2-mana" How is that fair?"

When was the last time a match with hunter lasted until turn 10?

I played Okani and countered a enemy minion. I had the secret Plagiarize up and it was triggered at the end of the turn by the countered minion. I didn't get anything from it.

The bug being that the secret was triggered.

I don't know why we're printing unconditional spell damage for the class known to be extremely efficient at just killing you? Does nobody rememebr Altruis the Outcast? That fucker had to be nerfed to 4-mana and still often ended up dealing 5-6 damage in a single turn. This can deal up to 8-damage the turn it's played. Like, fucking hell, Quest Hunter did not need more reach, it already ends games at turn 7.

I mean I was just thinking that maybe Quest Hunter won't be oppressive post rotation because without Slate it can't deal with big minions without having to spend burn damage, but nope, here's this fucker to give you all the extra damage you might be missing and you don't even need burn spells for it.
