Quite strong card, especially if we get more lackey generators

or worse because you have to draw your lackeys and do most people play lackeys before turn 5 or 6

Turn 1 Shimmerfly

Turn 2 Scavenging Hyena

Turn 3 Desert Spear

Turn 4 Dire Frenzy

Potentially the best curve you could get with this card unless there's a better 1 mana beast printed

I play some Quest Rogue in wild and lemme tell you 4/4 lackeys are pretty good

Ooh, I really like this in Warlock with Demonfire.  Probably wouldn't see play because the 2-drop spot in Zoo is pretty competitive and Flame Imp is better. 

But this is a totally fine card for Arena. 

Holy moly. Tekahn is a day-1-craft, hard mulligan every time kind of card. That is just nuts. Also Titanic Lackey will be great for Paladin when they get it with all those new 1-HP minions.

I too enjoy spearing desserts.

 

In seriousness though, this seems overcosted. The effect has obvious synergies with Hyenas and Timber Wolves but that's not enough to warrant playing the spear over Headhunter's Hatchet, which effectively does the same amount of damage for 1 mana less.

Piranha Launcher 2.0: Slightly improved, still bad.

I guess ask yourself which is better, Scavenging Hyena + immediately buff it by +4/+2 or better?  OR, for the same mana cost, buff it by +2/+1 this turn, and then +2/+1 next turn (assuming both the Hyena and your weapon are still around)?

And then you answer, "Scavenging Hyena + Hounds is objectively better in every way."

That's a false dichotomy. You could include both in your deck. If it cost one less Beast hunters would instantly cut their hatchets for this so they could run it alongside 'hounds and springpaws.

Even if we set aside the false binary your analysis is still skewed. Hounds is situational: it requires enemy minions on board. The weapon can be played proactively, so you don't have to wait for the ideal Hyena turn to use it, and it comes down earlier. Does that make Desert Spear better than Unleash the Hounds? No, and if you'd left it at that it would have been fine, but instead you're fallaciously arguing that Hounds is objectively better in every way, and that's just silly and hyperbolic.

Why am I getting quest rouge flash backs?

Woah this warlock card is gonna be bonkers if we get more lackey generator.

Even Lackey looks good.

I like Plague of Murlocs - murlocs rule!  And you can destroy the gameplan of your opponent. 

But might be better?

High Priest Amet

Piranha launcher was bad for the cost, but it’s effect was helpful. This should be moreuseful

Partly because it's versititle, you can draw using Cult Master, you can superbuff Berzerkers... but mostly, because BEEES!!!

For me it has to be Frightened Flunky as a wild player Stonehill Defender is one of my favorite cards

so a cheaper version of that card for warrior which has some good options for taunts in wild

all that together and i'm like "yes please"

Wheres the freedom of speech? AMMUURRRIICAAAA~

Hey Flux, how to block comments I don't like? Oh shit, I'm doing the same thing this guy is demonstrating right here. OH NO.

It's kinda hard to pick a single card and call it my favourite. There a lot of interesting and powerful ones from classes, which I play regularly, that I want to open from my packs. But for the time being (unless the priest quest is about thieving or warlock gets a really good sustain tool) the card, which I really want to play, is Corrupt the Waters. I was always a fan of Control Jade Shaman, when it was still in standard, and with the inclusion of Shudderwock, my green army can easily get out of hand. I can also use Heart of Vir'naal in combination with Loatheb and shut down some slow decks or build a meme combo list with Yogg-Saron, Hope's End[ and card]emperor thaurissan, so that I could trigger Shudderwock's battlecry twice in a single turn and guarantee getting him with Grumble, Worldshaker.

BEEEES!!!

One of the best card designs since Defile.

My favorite card so far is High Priest Amet because I always wanted to play Star Aligner. Let the alignment of stars begin!!

Ashmedan is right, who needs a jester for a streamer? 0/10.
