I'm kinda scared of this card, not just because it's a tarantula. This is Blightnozzle Crawler but for hunter and with a lot of improvements. The original one saw almost zero competetive play, but with tradable mechanic this one might make the cut.

It's really only a matter of time before DH joins the rest. In this particular case, I envision DH being like a combo of Druid/Hunter and Rogue, in that they have synergy-specific copying (for Deathrattles instead of Beasts), but perhaps with the shuffling aspect of Rogue. That would make sense with this card and support others like Death Speaker Blackthorn.
I think it's more likely going to hinder than help you as a Quest Priest, since this undoes the curve planning you did in the mulligan and using discover effects. Maybe you could argue that you just don't play it if your hand already curves well, but then you need another 3-drop to play on turn 3.
And even if the effect would be a small net-positive, there is still the question of whether it's enough to compensate for the poor stats. For example Venomous Scorpid is more reliable in fixing your hand and provides a better minion on board.
Hi Zelgadis,
Sure, I agree with everything you said :) As I mentioned, I am aware it very doubtful that the card makes an inclusion, I was just playing devil's advocate there and try to think of any usage it may have in any deck, and quest priest seems like the only one for one, as it may actually benefit from the downside of the card.
Yeah, I'm not really a fan of how unevenly they reveal cards for different classes. It doesn't have to be completely equal, but 7 warlock cards in the time rogue and DH saw 1 seems a bit extreme.
The good(?) news is I expect PlayHearthstone's reveal later today (the one that looks like a red orb with a half-cog around it, and looks suspiciously like Scabbs' belt buckle in his final artwork in https://playhearthstone.com/en-gb/news/23658052) will be the rogue questline, so hopefully we'll better see what the class is aiming for soon.
It'll see play, but dont expect this to ever deal that full 8 damage because rogues cant heal, and matches involving rogues dont drag past turn 10. Hell, aggressive rogue matches is even shorter, maybe turn 7 at most.
So the powerlevel of the card is determined solely by rng, balanced by the short game matches of aggro decks. Good job team5. I just love to see myself die from a coin toss.
Edit: It shuffles into your deck. So I guess that 8 damage will be more likely than I first thought.
Wild: Double Augmented Elekk into double Garrote and next turn draw them all with Grand Empress Shek'zara. As usual, the trick will be to survive until that late in the game and a do nothing turn 10 on top of that.

The Pet doesn't have Tradable. We'll have to see if that's more valuable than Taunt.

Yes, gotta change the art on Headcrack because it's too violent, but strangling your opponent to death is perfectly fine

Damage over time is always going to be worse than burst unless your deck is literally empty.
I'm not sure if you wouuld actually put this into Miracle Rogue, especially since it's 2-mana do basically nothing for a large part of the game.

Without any reasonable support for Imported Tarantula, Teacher's Pet usually seems more versatile by just having Taunt.

I don't know how good this will be in hunter but this is good to get off of Call of the Grave and Tiny Toys

Love the flavor.
"How much are you willing to trade for the giant tarantula and its two Poisonous kids?"
"How about 1 mana gem?"
"Deal!"

You'll burn a bunch. When using the Empress, each Cast When Draws will have to resolve before you get to the next one.

New Neutral Minion - Auctioneer Jaxon
Nice simple assist to the Tradeable mechanic. Will probably see play.
New Demon Hunter Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Dashen - Persistent Peddler
Every class has or has had copying mechanics of some kind.
Rogue has Gang Up, Togwaggle's Scheme, Shadow of Death and many more.
Mage has Molten Reflection, Potion of Illusion, etc.
Shaman had Sapphire Spellstone and Eureka! for a while.
Druid has Menagerie Warden, Germination, Oracle of Elune and even broader ones in the past with Gloop Sprayer and Ixlid, Fungal Lord.
Warrior had its Blood suite with Blood Warriors and Bloodsworn Mercenary.
Warlock had Fel Lord Betrug and most recently has Felosophy, which is the beginnings of a spread into DH.
Even Hunter has Hunting Party, Stitched Tracker, Selective Breeder.
And of course Priest has all kinds. Seance, Psyche Split, Blood of G'huun, Zerek's Cloning Gallery, etc...
It's really only a matter of time before DH joins the rest. In this particular case, I envision DH being like a combo of Druid/Hunter and Rogue, in that they have synergy-specific copying (for Deathrattles instead of Beasts), but perhaps with the shuffling aspect of Rogue.

This looks good - Rogue usualy draws pretty fast so the damage output for 2 Mana is actualy insane.

This is exciting! Love shuffling, drawing and smashing the face! Will be fun trying to do some damage with this and Grand Empress Shek'zara!

The level of bs with Grand Empress Shek'zara is more powerful than you think. For each of these bleeds it'll also draw you a card.
Guess that card I opened last year wont be a waste after all.
