The ONLY benefit I see is the extremely niche case where a combo opponent has a full hand and you make them burn a combo piece.
In the pre-Barrens meta, it feels like that might have happened a lot, but I don't think it's going to be a useful strategy in the Year of the Gryphon.
I think if a mid-game or control hunter has the tools to come together, this will be clutch, especially alongside dire frenzy. Otherwise, kinda expensive and slow for most hunters.
New Priest Minion - Serena Bloodfeather
Quite weak no value
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
Did somebody say weapon rogue?

New Druid Minion - Guff Runetotem
This will get nerfed
New Rogue Weapon - Swinetusk Shank
Not bad
New Hunter Minion - Warsong Wrangler
Sunscale Raptor and Dire Frenzy make this card interesting but we've never seen such a Hunter deck succeed and I don't think this one will.
New Paladin Minion - Soldier's Caravan
If you build for Silver Hand recruits, and can buff/protect this, I think it will generate a lot of fun use.
New Warlock Minion - Barrens Scavenger
Don't underestimate a 1 mana 6/6. Warlocks like drawing cards and thinning their deck. Does have significant anti-synergy with soul fragments
New Shaman Minion - Spawnpool Forager
Let's go murloc shaman
Wicked Stab (Rank 3)
*Eviscerate cries in corner*
New Warlock Minion - Barrens Scavenger
Cheap taunt for control
New Hunter Minion - Warsong Wrangler
I really like the prospect of this together with the 4 mana +3/+3

New Neutral Minion - Lushwater Scout
Will probably see play in Murloc Shaman but if more powerful options will be available in the future I can see it getting cut.
12 Angry Orcs
Plus kargath gets a redemption arc when he returns like gandalf as kargath prime, helping to support you till mankrik can get his vengeance
New Neutral Minion - Lushwater Scout
Let's go murloc shaman
New Neutral Minion - Southsea Scoundrel
Interesting design but helping your opponent draw their powerful cards doesn't seem like a good idea.
New Neutral Minion - Barrens Trapper
A bit too niche
New Neutral Minion - Lushwater Scout
I think this only looks good from afar. I think it will often times be less impactful than you usually want for murlocs.
New Hunter Minion - Warsong Wrangler
New Paladin Minion - Soldier's Caravan
Recruits synergy doesn't really work in Standard and this looks way too slow for what that deck wants to do anyway.
New Shaman Minion - Arid Stormer
I love elemental shaman and I really hope this will see play. Seems good enough
Devouring Plague
This only targeting enemy minions AND with Lifesteal is nuts!

New Druid Minion - Razormane Battleguard
Strong 2 drop
No one suspects C'thun Rogue!
I'm pretty sure C'thun splitting into 4 pieces at the start of the game is a pretty big hint that this is a C'thun Rogue.
