That looks pretty interesting and also relatively easy to complete. And after Bru'kan you could burst your opponent with Damage Spells. 

Not that great but also not that bad ... Tradeable is decent if you draw this early on i guess. The Deathrattle itself is ok - maybe we get some sort of Midrange Control Hunter , and then this could be useful ... but right now i would say it`s an ok card but not great.

This is an attempt to make Guardian Animals viable in Hunter (and make Tiny Toys viable). I can't think of any other reason for Team 5 to print this card. Don't expect this to see a lot of play. It won't be amazing in Arena either, just good.

You can't Discover cards from other classes, unless the text specifies it (Dragon's Hoard, for example) so Call of the Grave won't ever find it.

Deathrattle Hunter has so many 5-drops... Not where the problem lies. It needs a 2 or 4 drop. 

2 mana deal 8 to face, sure that's a good deal, but to mana deal 2 to face certainly isn't. When is the right time to play this? Is that as soon as possible, because you'll draw those Bloods eventually. or when you're nearing the end of your deck? If you do the first your opponent has a long time to play around those Bloods and it's just a 2 mana deal at the moment, I prefer daggering up over that. But if you choose to wait towards the end of your deck this can be a dead card in your hand for a long time. No, I'm not convinced yet.

Hi im kinda new to LoR so maybe Im missing something. I just played a match against a Freljord/Shadow Isle deck that was running The Howling abyss card. Now my understanding is it only summons level 2 champs? Whicch would explain the Teemo and Elise. However he also put an Aurilion Sol and Nautilus on the board. I went through every card from Freljord and Shadowisle but i cant figure out how he did that.

 

Welcome to the community.

As for the The Howling Abyss. It's not bug, when the card say level two champions it doesn't mean 2 mana champions like Teemo, Elise, Lucian etc. but the level up form of any champion from the game.

Alright, so thanks to the tradeable keyword you can make sure you pull the other one from your deck with the deathrattle, or alternatively, for when you near the end of your deck you can put some nice deathrattle cards back into your deck so that they can be summoned by Death Speaker Blackthorn. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if this goes right into that already existing Deathrattle Demon Hunter.

Cost? NerdyMcNerd!

Attack? shaveyou!

Health? Dermostatic!

You're? OutOfCards!

There is already one DH copy card: Zai, the Incredible.

Spite of my rage,
Still just spooder in a cage.

Where do you want to play this card? Mid-range and Control rather than Aggro, propably. Now, when do you exactly want to PLAY it over TRADING it? When there are big minions on the board? Your opponent has initiative in trading the board as well as going face. When the board is empty? Maybe, but beware of removals, Rush Warrior, Silence and other cheap stuff to take down the Spiders.

Teacher's Pet is winning this in both situations as it has Taunt so you NEED to deal with it which usually FORCES you to trigger its Deathrattle.

Now that I think about it, if Hunter gets any Deathrattle or Rush support (so you can summon your Spiders on your turn) Tanatula would be a better card in the archetype. But without it, I like Teacher's Pet more.

Ironically, this card could also have used the keyword tradeable for all the times that you don't have tradeable cards in your hand. Yeah, I don't think this card will be played much at all.

You got it, R! You're up!

May the Gods of Hearthstone have mercy on the poor soul that opens this card  as their only legendary in packs

You'd like the 8/6 Demon instead?

On paper it really looks worse than Teacher's Pet which not only comes with a taunt but also a extra random beast, which is nearly always more aggressive than a couple of spiders, poisonous or not.

The fact is that your opponent will always be killing this thing and removing the spiders to deny you the removal option kinda makes this a soft taunt but not really. Any minion past the first 3 turns must need to be either very aggressive or defensive because hunters cant really afford to play what amounts to skipping turns too often.

I really like stuff like these, but Im afraid its kinda a bit too slow for hunter, even for slower hunters. Slight synergy with Trueaim Crescent to hard remove three minions from your opponent's board. But then what? The very point of hunter's play style, slow or no, is to stick stuff on board or kill outright. And this one does none of those.

Oh but it is a tradeable card. That's got to count for something. Still, I really wished this one had rush at very least, even with a smaller body.

What I love about the tradable mechanic is that it makes cards that were highly unlikely to see play before actually playable.

I kinda don't understand the point of Tradeable on this. If you're playing any kind of Midrange Hunter you don't want to spend 1-mana early to just to cycle this (if you do then that means you're already playing from behind). Meanwhile, if you get it later the only reason you wouldn't just play it is if you're fishing for lethal or other outs.

Alright, so I like that they're finally printing actual Guardian Animals support for Hunter, but this just isn't good enough. Basically you have to give this rush for it to make sense and even then you to run it into something that kills it and then have targets left to kill.

There's also not really any Deathrattle support around at the moment so I don't know whatt we would even do with it. I guess we'll have to wait for the Hunter Quest.

The best I can say for it is that it's really hard to efficiently remove without losing a lot of tempo, but that's about it.

Flux, you made me curios why the site is nsfw! I don't know how long I can resist!

For the card: it's somewhat expensive/slow forthe effect. Doesn't get saved by Tradeable.

Taunt is more valuable.
