Bold of you to assume.
Touche’ .
Very Well played, Sir:)
This card seems good enough to be run in basically any hunter deck that isn’t the most purist of control (meaning, any hunter deck).
I mean, 2 mana to gain 1 damage per mana spent on spells? Hunter, face hunter, specifically, already win or loses by the tiniest of margins. Paying 2 mana for free extra reach out eh turns you are going for the spell lethal seems a no brainer.
Sure.
But Hunter can’t bet the game on it - even Quest Hunter, who might finish a game turn 8-10ish, has by then only drawn about half of his deck. Playing Barack turn 5 and having/drawing it turn 6/7 might be the ideal situation. Earlier it’s just a brick.
This feels insane for any aggresive deck, which is running spells. It has similar effect as the 3/5 legendary (deal 5 damage to random enemy after HP), but it feels stronger, as it connects face always, usually will be played as finisher and costs just 2 mana instead of 5, so if you go all out turn 10, you get 8 face damage+whatever spells do…
Even in face hunter you can play it turn 1 sometimes with coin or turn 2 against classes, that dont have cheap 3 damage removals (paladin, warrior, even mage could struggle) buff it +2/+3 and you have strong 4/6 minion that deals not just 4 damage by hitting, but as well its spells, which is crazy…
So yeah, I dont like this, it enables hunter already insane reach by another 5-8 damage at the time, when Druid loses most of its armor gain and Priest loses important healing…
sure let’s make hunter even more broken…
So i guess the board based meta/design was a lie, and were just going to get more ridiclous early otks/finishers and what not instead .
Demon Hunter has taken the place hunter used to have in wild.
Maybe with the unnerfs they will release DH for wild finnaly
how whould it be betting? it only adds to the deck…
it is betting because if you draw it early it is just a -1 spell drawn, which is 1 step further from q completion, which is a lot more damage than what this offers.
quest hunter doesn’t really need “more damage” until it is ready to go for the kill, before that it needs more reliable quest completion+more draw, which this offers neither.
so, overall, it is a nice topper, but that’s it, it is basically a 2 mana deal 5-6 at late turns (which IS significant, dont get me wrong) and a dead card at early turns (which is also a downside).
3 words.
More board play.
Remember that promise for this year?
I do.
Just the fact that they had courage to not delete this before reveal the expansion is enough of a offense to people inteligence.
i’m not saying no to that, i just dont see this particular card being the end all that some people think it is.
it is a good card, sure, but that’s it.
I am not a fan of Quest Hunter. However, your elaboration has convinced me that this card is, in fact, not as problematic as most players are assuming.
Thanks!
Except that when you push something you just push something.
It’s the entire point.
I personally not even care if it’s good or bad. Even if it was a meme deck it would not be there.
And Quest hunter got some draw to use with that.
I am terrified of this card already o…o
would you rather they completely killed archetypes that were just introduced this year? and have whole sets being dead even though they are still in rotation?
i wouldnt like that at all personally. (that would even further decrease the value of your Gold and Dust to start with, making it even harder for f2p to play)
Sure, new stuff with the new rotation will emerge, but that doesnt mean that we have to completely kill stuff that will still be playable for a whole more year.
Dragonbane 2.0, just what Hunter players need after they lose Rhino, Demon Companion and Infestation, huh.
It’s actually not that overpowered. At most it maybe deals 4 to 5 damage, which isn’t actually that much, as it’s a must-remove for the opponent. Even if it gets nerfed it’ll probably just be a 3 mana 3/4.

Day 1 craft for free dust I guess.
You don’t actually get extra dust, but I think if this gets a nerf it’ll be like Kolkar Pack Runner.
You don’t get extra dust, you get free dust. You can craft the card for free because this bad boy is getting nerfed.
Wild is going to be absolutely insane.
