Not a terrible card at all. We do have Kodo Mount still collection dust, looking for a good target to buff and this might just be it. Gonna have to wait for the corresponding Legendary though because right now the beast package is too disjointed.
That's a pretty strong follow up after Glowfly Swarm and just generally supports beast builds...but we still need some sort of payoff because just running medium-sizeed beasts is only going to keep you in the game for about 4 turns.
I get that this is supposed to be Token set up, but my god is it slow. You're essentially paying 3-mana for a 2/2 with stealth and then two more, at which point I doubt they're of any use.
I would consider this at 2-mana but at 3 there needs to be some serious beast payoff
EDIT: I just saw the other 2, I guess there's some hope for the archetype but I'M still skeptical.
I feel like this might be a lot better than it looks. As long as there's a good amount of removal-worthy legendaries this is a very strong card in any kind of Control deck, evne if it is very matchup dependant.

Even ignoring the viability of any upcoming frost spells, this is just a generally good effect. Discount it with Granite Forgeborn, repeat it with Brilliant Macaw and just generally have a good time. 3/4s are pretty sweet, freeze is just a bonus.
Arena: Legendaries are not that common in Arena. This either sits in your hand for way too long or you play this as an understated minion 9 out of 10 times.
Constructed: Might make the cut in a control deck just as Big Game Hunter did back in the day. Even most aggro decks have 1 or 2 legendaries in their list.

It's quite good. The damage from the weapon is marginal at best, but everything else about it is insane. Not to mention making your hero power bonkers for Handbuff Paladin.
Not sure what you've been playing, but I see solo fatties on the opponent's board all the time in the late game.
I'm not sure what you've been playing but I don't usually get to a point where I just play an 8-mana minion and win off it. This is a dead card against plenty of decks that are currently popular. Unless we enter a midrange meta where a constant barrage of lategame threats is common I don't think this is worth a deckslot.
Riiight ... because we never see big shifts in the metagame when an expansion comes out.
Also, where did I say you'd win off it? I don't remember saying that. This strange taste ... it's ... it's like ... words other than my own have been stuffed in my mouth.
We're not talking about big meta shifts in general, we're talking about a specific meta in which singular big threats stand alone on the board at turn 8. Unless Big DH suddenly becomes S-tier I don't think that's happening.
People forget that Dragonmaw Scorcher saw a decent amount of play during the first 6 months or so that it was out. and this new one doesn't affect your side of the board.

I'm not sure how many beasts this will need to summon in order to be worth 9 mana with 5/4 stats. Of course, you would want to load the deck with big beasts to maximize the chances of killing a minion. Then next turn you go face.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Caria Felsoul
I'm not sure how I feel about this. It feels like they are trying to make Big DH a competitive deck

It's slow, but can see play if any "buff when summon" effect is revealed.

BEEEES!!! will make Frostsaber Matriarch busted in Wild, because the former summons four beasts in one card and gives an easy early game discount.

New Demon Hunter Minion - Flag Runner
I guess this goes good with Coordinated Strike. Not sure what else there is, but anything that puts 1 health minions on the board should help.
New Hunter Spell - Revive Pet
Not bad. Getting a choice of these things via discover is always nice. Of course, you'd want to summon something that costs will over 3 mana.

Not only I expect you to build a good deck, but I will also play anything you come up with on Day 1!
Jokes aside, your initial comment suggested me that you were much interested in coming up with a list for Moorabi.

It indeed was. Now I also added the token, which might seem a bit familiar for those that have played Mercenaries.
