    Great card, that deathrattle can really high and low roll. I love it, finally some more TRULY random cards. Looking forward to using it in some decks!

    One of the few good cards from Rastahkans Rumble. Really interested in seeing how it will perform in standard, personally i think this will be a staple for both Aggro/Midrange Hunter to get more FACE dmg in, and for more Control/value hunters to remove early game minions.

    Meh, without Unleash the Hounds i don't think it will see a lot of play. Unless they give us a Unleash the Hounds reprint or some cheap 1/1 beasts with rush.

    Great card for aggro Hunter and in wild it is a staple in EVEN-Hunter. I'm really interested in seeing how it's going to perform in standard.

    This and Explosive Trap have always been hunters core secrets in standard, and i'm glad to see both in the core set. I couldn't imagine secret hunter without those 2 secrets. Playing around Freezing Trap has been so common it would honestly feel weird to not have to worry about it.

    Always been a solid removal and one of the only few board clears hunter has acces to. Has always seen play as a must-include so i'm not surprised to see this in the core set.

    Staple Hunter card. We might have lost Animal Companion but at least we kept this fairly iconic card. Deadly Shot is also being used a lot by midrange/value/control Hunter decks, so this really signals the fact that they want Hunter to slow down and improve different archetypes than FACE Hunter.

    Strong and sometimes annoying to remove minion, but i don't know if it's good enough these days. There are plenty of rush minions around that can get rid of this. But despite that i think we will see it every so often in aggro Hunter decks.

    Incredibly good card and it will have a lot of potential together with Beastmaster Leoroxx. Looking forward to playing around with it in standard!

    Old tracking was fantastic for drawing something you want, and to thin your deck to improve your draw. (And your opponent didn't know which cards were deleted.) Which made it a incredible card for aggro decks, but it confused new players because they would think it was trash. (And some long time non-hunter players every so often)

    New tracking is still good for drawing something you want, but it doesn't thin your deck anymore so that makes it worse for aggro decks. HOWEVER it does make it better for midrange, Value, combo and (Yogg forbid) Control decks. Oh and new players don't immediately think its trash anymore.

    This is a very interesting REWORK of a card that was very common in a lot of decks, and i'm looking forward to this new and slower hunter!

    Meh probably doesn't see play at all. Weird that it's in the core set. Maybe we will see some kind of spell hunter support?

    Good 'ol reliable for new players. (and only new players) Way too slow for todays meta, but with most transform effects going away and the meta probably slowing down it might actually see play! Maybe in some kind of Beastmaster Leoroxx deck as some kind of stat bomb? Meh i think that deck rather plays multiple King Krush.

    Might see play in some Yogg deck, an probably secret hunter decks to generate some value. Being 1 cost really helps it because at 2 mana it was WAY too clunky to play. But hey it's Lock and Load so it might still be horrible despite being 1 mana. But let's stay optimistic!

    Fits well in Secret hunter and it actually still sees play often. HOWEVER hunters mostly used these to get more beasts on board in order to Kill Command Ahem Skill command face for 10 dmg. But with that gone, i think the card will be a lot weaker. But Secret hunter probably will still take any secret they can.

    The only reason i think they kept it was because they want some kind of King Krush OTK with Beastmaster Leoroxx to work, and they didn't want to buff King Krush because they were afraid of it becoming too strong, AND making Dinotamer Brann "too strong". Despite hunter being horrible in wild. Let's see if this combo will be good enough, or if they will finally buff Krush if it doesn't work.

    This has historically been absolute trash, and i'm really surprised to see it in the core set. Okay "never underestimate 0 cost cards", but even today in wild it only sees play in Gonk druid (Absolute meme) and Yogg Druid (As cycle for Gadgetzan Auctioneer. And in standard Druid has a lot of good early removals already, so i don't see the use for it yet. Unless they are going to push Feral? druid again, just like in Ratahkan.

    Decent card. However powercreep hasn't been kind to Enchanted Raven. Luckely Blazing Battlemage and Treenforcements are rotating out, so that's good for Enchanted Ravens potential.

    Classic Druid card for token Druid decks. I couldn't imagine Druid without Power of the Wild so i'm glad it's in the core set.

    Meh i don't think this will see play. Moontouched Amulet has both effects combined when corrupted, so that's a lot better then praying for a "your cards with choose one effects are combined" card get's printed.

    Simple, 3 mana get 4/4 of stats. To this day still good. Great card for the core set.
