I'm mostly just wondering what kind of deck you'd build around this? Highlander seems a bit greedy since there aren't really that many big Beasts outside of Krush and Highmane that you can afford putting in your deck (maybe Octosari to turn your turn 8 into a massive tempo swing that also refills your hand?)
There is obviously the potential for a gimmicky combo deck where you run only King Krush, run Scavenger's Ingenuity at 1 to fetch it and then copy it with Hunting Party or Wildtamer. The rest of the deck would be some sort of control/midrange deck without beasts....so probably some Dragon archetype. The main problem would be to get enough draw now that you don't have Subject 9.
Even if you don't committ your entire deck to this you still get great value out of it, kinda like Captain Hooktusk except not as reliant on not drawing your stuff but rather just needing you to keep 2 or 3 bigger Beasts in Hand.
Not to mention an 8-mana 5/5 isn't the worst statline so you don't always need to hit all 3 beasts.
If you have Rhino in hand everything that gets pulled has Charge (although there's not that many Big Beasts for Hunter that don't already have that anyways)
This might honestly make Hunting Party and Ramkahen Wildtamer worth playing.
The best part is that you don't actually need to do a whole "only specific beasts" builaround, you just play all the smaller beasts before you play this.

completely forgot about Fresh Scent even existing. That makes it so much more consistent.

Simplest TTK ever:
Emeriss on King Krush and 2x Charged Devilsaur
Then this next turn: 16 + 14 + 14 + 2 = Ez 46 damage. Can even kill any taunt and still deal 32.
Rexxar gets some crazy combo tools this expansion.

Yes... But rogues don't run many of those too...

This is honestly makes me really happy because I didn't think King Krush would be playable again in Standard.
Hunting Party finally makes sense, so does Ramkahen Wildtamer.

Big hunter again... At least this time it looks OK, unlike Flark's Boom-Zooka

As someone who’s been playing Wild more lately, Charged Devilsaur approves of this card along with his buddy Krush.

Curves perfectly into Houndmaster. Swarmy Decks might struggle against that.
The Fact that it can also go Face is a real Downside though.

26 actually, because you have 2-mana left for Hero Power

So this is just all kinds of insane.

Savannah Highmane might finally be back too.

Imagine playing this and summon multiple buffed up King Krushes. Easy 33 Damage!
And in Wild you can build a new Version of Big Hunter!

Rexxar, who is your daddy, and what does he do?

more like viable again, he was pretty essential when Kathrena Winterwisp was around.

King Krush + Ramkahen Wildtamer + Hunting Party + this = 24 Damge and a huge Board.
And there's also Scavenger's Ingenuity.

Awesome battlecry, bad stats, but with all the evolve cards going around you know this will turn into a 7 minion.

If you're holding a Tundra Rhino, this is basically a better, cheaper The Boomship attached to a 5/5 body. Seems ridiculously powerful.

A taunt minion is already an answer thought
