One of the weirdest cards Ive ever seen printed.

Is it better than Barrel of Monkeys? No. But that's hardly the point. Its clearly printed to combo with other cards. Wouldn't be too surprised to see the legendary interact with 4/1 minions.

Hunter never did work well with combo-ish cards. Even spitter hunter had to pile on 6 weapons into the deck just so spitter dont whiff. If your entire deck is dependent on this one card you might as well not bother. At least you can tutor this shit, but that means your not playing bananas, which is just nuts.

Its a bad one, but its primary function is to bluff of which at least this card is fine.

Basically, you'd never really want to ever use this secret. If your opponent throws a minion into yours chances are good he'll already have weight up his options and will be primed to get rid of the minion regardless.

Its a bit like Bamboozle, but I think arguably worse. Even then, bamboozle wasn't really a card that saw lots of play, so there you go.

In other words a new copy of a plague is shuffled into your deck after it's cast? I guess there wasn't room for that in the plague card text. As for the card, I don't know. Certainly seems like a good way to slowly wear your opponent down.

Its honestly not great.

Those worms will never reliably stick even in the early game and this card is only ever good with high damage minions. Too many conditions for a straight class like hunter.

I dont know what this will be used for, I just know that it'll 100% see play before rotation, and it'll be insanely good.

Because why not. This practically punishes your opponent from dropping minions and not dealing with hunter's board.

Hunter secrets tend to be annoying to test against, so this card gets good marks from me. In fact its probably one of the few cards from hunter thus far that slots in perfectly into hound hunter, probably going to be the dominant hunter archetype next expansion.

Expect this to be one of the most popular forge card in this expansion.

For its potential for lethal damage with board it gets good marks, but its one of those cards that need testing to really see how it performs. 90% of the time its just dead weight in your hand, simply because hunter cant tutor this card nor can they hold on to stuff, or in fact build a big sticky board to threaten lethal.

But Im pretty sure its going to work someway. Win cons always force something out of pros.

Its another variant of Doggie Biscuit, and nothing else really. Sometimes buff your Always a Bigger Jormungar to do lethal damage, but otherwise unimpressive.

Flexible, at least.

Its probably an easy payoff for playing secrets, but I just dont see any secret based face hunter at the moment.

The current iteration of hound hunter is so strong I just cant see any other archetype going anywhere close. Even in the secret variant you can argue that your gameplan is so secured in the late game you just dont need the extra damage from this weapon to win anything.

If this is to fit anywhere, it'll have to be specifically a face hunter build with secrets, nothing else.

Hey look, it's the card design that was so overused when Magnetic was revealed that HearthCards stopped upvoted cards that did this. I suppose it was only a matter of time before Blizzard did it officially.

We just had kologarn taking up the text spaces of the entire card, so no this is not a decision made to save on text space.

I think its just one of those brainfart moments from team5 where they forget about precedent. I mean, it doesn't really take much space or comprehension to write out "Add three 4/1 worms to your hand". I doubt the game will start crashing because of it.

I think it is certainly for text space, I mean;

For this example, When you use "Add" you need to say "Add 3 1/4 worms to your hand." but when you use "get" it would be "Get 3 1/4 worms" only.

it saves you from "to your hand" part.

it is same for "give" too. It saves more space. "Give your opponent x" vs "Add x to your opponent's hand."

Maybe this card doesn't want text space but they might be doing that for consistency after all past inconsistent stuff and it looks cooler with 2 lines for this card. if it would be add - to your hand, it would be 3 lines.

2 effects - 2 lines, better for eyes, good decision in my opinion.

That's what I said on the Discord haha. And it's not like the card was wanting for text space.

What's the deal with wording changing from "Add __ to your hand" to "Get __"? I understand it's more concise, but seems like a weird decision to change established wording after 9 years.

This card can be quite strong in theory, but I don't know if it's worth the deck slot.

Yes they works like the bloods for hakkar, after drawing any plagues drawn are shuffled back into the deck
