Probably because its fullest potential is an extra 8 damage. But realistically its probably doing around half of that, because hunters suck at control, so games will barely last more than 7-8 turns at best.

The scaling is best if you can copy this card, but if you can't and you run this solo, its only doing additional damage equal to what's left of your mana after playing this. How is that comparable to Il'gynoth, who can deal more than 70 damage?

Looks to be a solid Face Hunter card, since they do run a few decently-costed spells like Piercing Shot. It is not a Quest Hunter card, though, especially in Wild where Dragonbane does this card's job, but with more oomph.

If your holy spell costs 0 when you play it, then it doesn't discount this card. At least that's how the description seems to imply.

So its already hard enough to discount this card, and you're inserting a card that's actively drawing some of these holy spells and since its 0 mana, its not discounting The Garden's Grace. That's anti synergy. Unless of course, you're implying that we're not going to play those drawn, 0 mana spells from vindicator.

Well, I wish I were Serj Tankian, but sure. :D 

At first I thought "Oh wow, this is really strong!" - but my second thought was: Lets say you play this while you have 7 mana, you spent 2 mana for the minion and then you play spells for 5 mana so the minion deals 5 face damage.

Don´t get me wrong a 2 mana minion which deals 5 face damage is nice for hunter - but at the current power level it doesn`t seem "very strong" for me. It has to stay on board more than one turn to get really powerful and that is quite unlikely with 3 health. But if there is a way to mana cheat this out or protect it in some way, this could be quite strong.

At the moment I see this card only as "potentially good" - but maybe it will not even make the cut at the end, because hunter normally want to play on curve and this is not a "curve card". 

Yeah there'S no way this isn't getting nerfed within a week. It's basically Il'gynoth for Quest Hunter, a deck that's already insanely good at just killing you.

Like..this is scaling spell damage. If you play a 1-mana spell it's a better Kobold geomancer and it only improves from there. This should cost at least 4-mana. It's not even limited to a tribe or spell school, it's just "fuck it, all your spells are now burn damage, you get up to 8-extra damage in one turn for just 2-mana" How is that fair?

How is that anti-synergy? You want to draw cheap spells early.

Blizzard: This next expansion will have board-based strategies in play.  Except Hunter!  Hunter smorcs!

Next thing you know Face Hunter will have card draw, lifesteal, board control, mana burn, and mana cheat

If the plan becomes "cheat out Behemoth, then revive, revive, revive", I'm gonna lose my shit :/

Blizzard: Oh you wanted board based? All I heard was go face.

Blizzard Creative Team (Tom): Hey guys I have a cool unique and original idea for a card!

Blizzard: Yeah, what is it?

Tom: When face play taunt me still go face 

Blizzard: Holy fuck that's unique original lets print that shit!

Actual Competent Blizzard Creative : Wait don't we have enough face hunter decks?

Blizzard: You're fired

Anyone remember spell hunter? 

Okay WTF is this card. How is this ONLY 2 mana? This is insane. Their already giving hunter a Twinbow Terrorcoil into Aimed Shot + heropower for 12 damage combo that can come out as early as turn 5. And now their ADDITIONALLY giving hunters THIS. Sure a bunch of spells are rotating, but this is still incredably powerfull. I thought they said they were going to make the game more board based again, but it looks like Hunter will be even less interactive than before. This card is just a must-include in every hunter deck. It can also help Secret hunter pop off, because you can turn secrets into FACE dmg. 

Also considering they showed us these spell syngergy spells, i wouldn't be surprised if they print a bunch of spells.. Everyone "welcome" our Defend the Dwarven District overlords... even though Defend the Dwarven District might be too slow for this new deck...

Tidecaller has been gone for a few patches now.

Hunter doesn't have another style other than face huh?

Oh F***. I'm already hating it.

Where was the "Let's give Wild a Theorycraft" when they printed this card?

I hope in this expansion other races get more defence ( Armor, Removal spell etc) 

People will complaint with that card.

Naga face hunter will be a thing.

Its good, but not as good as Twinbow Terrorcoil.

The only thing this card can hope for is being in a hunter combo deck, where you can copy this card and then blow your opponent up with a few spells. Perhaps there's enough incentive here to go for kazakusan hunter. Just get ancient reflections and instantly win the game. There are naga tutors available after all.

But judging from the hunter cards revealed so far there's a good chance we'll see more support for some sort of spell or combo hunter. As long as there's easy ways to copy this card that can definitely happen.

Its likely not quest hunter support. Just want to bring this up real quick.

and if you're lucky (which is not the case for mark) you can pull this off in turn 4

Looks good, but probably not going to be doing much realistically. The most it can do is probably 8 damage, because there's no earthly reason why anyone would leave this thing alive for more than the turn its played.

In my opinion, its actually weaker than Twinbow Terrorcoil, but of course no one said you cant just play both in your deck.

Of course, there's nothing saying you can't copy this thing neither. Kazakusan hunter then? Tutor out your nagas with the new naga tutor and then get ancient reflection and win the game. For the same reason, its probably never going to be played vs kazakusan decks.

Just a short note: I dont think its going to be played in quest hunter. Its not a spell, and the priority of that deck is to complete quest, not building up combos.

"I think you'll see an effort to incentivize board based gameplay"

Ah, yes, I see

Yeah hunter doesn't have enough ways to go face
