Very odd for Hunter to get a hammer, looks like and has the name of a Shaman weapon.
Well this is directly comparable to Eaglehorn Bow but you gain extra attacks not with secrets but with dragons. Seems decent in that regard, however will dragon Hunter be a deck? My guess is no, and probably will only be run in a Highlander deck.
Primordial Explorer, Carrion Drake, Emeriss and Veranus probably isn't enough support to fully enable the dragon Hunter archetype, just enough for a highlander variant that doesn't run secrets. In that case you would run this weapon over Eaglehorn Bow I would imagine.
It can attack many times, reastically I'd say 4 times unless more lower good cost dragons will be printed ( a couple of 4-5 cost are good enough) and already attacking 4 times is good.
Versus decks that fail to pressure it can attack more times than that and alone can deal a crazy amount of damage to face, even if the dragons will just hit the board and removed instantly by the opponent.
I don't know if the dragon package will find a home in highlander hunter because for now cards that use synergies with dragons are this weapon and the breath, they are good but in an highlander i don't think you would run dragons just to play this two cards at their full potential. We have to remember that in an highlander deck the number of dragons will be very low so most of the time the cards will not even be active.
If more busted dragon synergy for hunter will be printed i can see the dragon package be included in highlander hunter, as you already want to play at least 2 dragons (the legendary dragon and new Alex) so you just have to find a little bit more of them, considering that probably the 2/3 poisonous will be good enough.
This card make me a bit less sceptical about dragon hunter if more low cost dragons are revealed, because this weapon and the breath are good to hit face and not only control the board.
Cool card... Feeling too much shaman-y tho (even Trump teased about a "shaman" card, well played)
Hammer for hunter makes absolutely zero sense. Also, as good as this weapon is, I still don't see dragon hunter working. Maybe you could play it in a dragon-beast highlander deck, where you'll certainly include a few dragons along with Alexstrasza 2.0.
Stormhammers are typical weapons for Dwarven Gryphon Riders. And since Hunter got some Gryphons and Dwarves this expansion it kind of makes sense.
Also Gryphon Riders make most sense as hunters.
The dragon synergy is odd though.
If hunter got Falstad as a legendary it would be far better. (One of the dwarven leaders and a gryphon rider himself. Also called a true friend of the red dragonflight according to a Warcraft book Day of the Dragon...)
A Eaglehorn Bow that can have X amount of durability might be what Hunter needs to make a dragon hunter competitive.
While the card is very powerful, we don't have enough early game dragons to make full use of its ability. For now these are the cheapest dragons that hunter can use: Faerie Dragon, Marsh Drake, Primordial Explorer and Brightwing.
I feel like we need a few more strong aggresive dragons to make dragon hunter work (which we might get since we still have quite a few neutral minions to be revealed). Though we do have Corrosive Breath and maybe Veranus that are good aggressive tools for such a deck.
I am not going to mention a slower dragon hunter deck (with Carrion Drake or Emeriss) since Hunter does not have any proper healing tools or good card draw for such a deck which are vital for control decks.
It seems that dragon hunter is going the more aggro/midrange path and this card should be quite useful.
Very good card. There isn't a lot of Hunter class dragons, but what they have are all good enough to run, so I can see one copy being run alongside some of the better neutral dragons and supports like Dragon Breeder. My guess is Highlander Dragon Hunter will be the strongest out of the gate but will be interesting to see what emerges if tech cards like Bad Luck Albatross get traction...
Having a Dragon in Play is way easier than having a Secret trigger. And your Opponent can't really play around you summoning a Dragon.
I'd say that you could get in quite a few swings with this Card. Let's say you only draw 3 Dragons (most Dragon-Decks usually run 6) and you attack every turn. That's 15 Damage from one Weapon!
A new Epic Hunter Weapon, Stormhammer, has been revealed!

Oh my goodness. Dragon hunter lets go! Thats nuts!
Very good! Eaglehorn Bow is awesome in secret decks so this will be too in dragon decks.
I'm sorry for my bad english :)

How do you possible hunt with a hammer?
Good if Dragon Hunter is a thing.
Might be fairly good.
But a hammer in Hunter makes no sense whatsoever.
they basically just gave dragon hunter an eaglehorn bow. who knows, maybe dragon hunter will be a real thing now
I think this card is very good.

AMAZING!!! Auto include in Dragon Hunter!!! Good stats and mana cost with a great power!
¿A hammer? ¿For hunter? So ugly, Blizz.
By The Holy Light!
Throw it REALLY hard?

Paladin gets a Druid card
Hunter gets a Paladin card
Hunter gets a Shaman card
what is class identity
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
This could make dragon hunter a thing

Dragon Aggro Hunter incoming. Everyone be spooked.
