Jesus, that looks amazing
Wait... didnt you quit Hearthstone a few weeks ago?
Many predicted Pirate Warrior is the deck to play at first glance they see Patches
........... Dude, you're settled.
I don't think this is actually true.
I don't think people knew pirates would be good until they saw Small-Time Buccaneer.
My guess is the number of Pirate Warriors will fall drastically simply because most people will want to play with the new cards and new archetypes. So if you are planning on playing Hunter to counter Pirates, you might want to wait a couple weeks after launch.

Nah STB revealed like in last batch of reveal
a lot of people say Patches is crazy before that
to be honest I remember me and a lot of other people here didn't think patches was going to be good before STB, now we all know the card is still nuts without it, but the STB reveal skyrocketed the expectations

It's a cycle of hate and love.
Bunch of Weirdoes..
I think example o what I said is where Amaz already said Patches is crazy at his review, or all G2 member (Thijs, LC, RDU) all list Patches in their top 5 card, and this all before last day reveal
A lot of people said Patches was crazy before STB. I know I did. But that's not what you said. You said people were predicting Pirate Warrior would be top of the meta at the initial Patches reveal. Like you said, STB was revealed in the last batch and it was just as meta-defining as Patches.
We're seeing some early game Hunter cards, but they could still easily be pushed out of the meta if there are other decks with faster early game cards than Hunter.

I think a fair amount of the defensive tools they've added should keep hunter in check. The new-anti weapon tool, and still even just acidic swamp ooze, punishes hunter as much if not more than warrior. Then they've added new taunts as well. The pirate eating crab thing doesn't even seem that good tbh.

They really bailed hard on the handbuff stuff didn't they.
Also, poor Huhuran.
Also also, since Hunter is getting so much love, I'm now expecting a 2-mana weapon in this set. It's been a big hole since Glaivezooka.
a lesser huhuran
given that shaky zipgunner exists, this miiiight see play, not sure, doesn't seem all that good?
Beast tag ofc.

Pretty insane when curved with Kindly Grandmother.
A bit too clunky to fit overall though. Maybe can be played in Wild.

no no, I meant smaller... yeah, lesser gives it like it is less valuable.
can this be viable with such stats? are there that many deathrattles from hunter to exploit other than highmane? the 1 drop doesn't seem good since it dilutes the deck a bit.
EDIT: oh! kindly grandmother, yeah it does have potential
Because hunter doesn't get good legendaries.
I mean, Huhuran technically has an extra stat for its cost.
Anyway this card is stupid powerful when you curve into it from Kindly Grandmother, Haunted Creeper, or Nerbuian Egg. But open question as to whether or not it's still too situational. Unearthed Raptor didn't exactly set the world on fire with an extra stat on its butt, although admittedly Rogue didn't have Kindly Grandmother and that's a bit slower.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Please quote me exactly where I state that I'm quitting the game? I've said, multiple times, that the game is absolute trash and that I can't wait for this game to tank - but I haven't said that I'm done with it.
Huhuran and feign death never saw much play,so this card might end up not getting played either.
However, at 3 mana it's much easier to combo Huhuran, so there is some hope for this card.

If I were you I would have quite the game at least 4 months ago.
I feel like a card as such is due now that brann is rotating out, and it wouldn't be as insane if I just replicate 1 extra battlecry
The issue with that is that they are printing quite a few powerful battle cries, like set your hero's health to 40, and add 15 Raptors to your deck. If they put it on a class card, it would sort of prevent them from creating a really powerful battle cry for the class for 2 years.
I just don't see Blizard doing it.
I can see that, yeah.
although with cards as Amara, I would be very tempted to include a youthful brewmaster instead of replicating the effect with a card, same with the hunter queen.
it just makes a little more sense to have those legendaries for longer runs

Why is dreadscale? Just HS logic.

If you coin zipgunner and follow up with this, battlecries go first so could this be a 5/5 when played?
I get the feeling this particular card is built for the N'Zoth type of hunter decks. Kindly Grandmother, Fiery Bat, Rat Pack, Shaky Zipgunner, Infested Wolf, Savannah Highmane and the new 2/1 dino thing.
It has plenty of targets, seems OK.
I don't think it would work, because this isn't in you hand at the moment of a battlecry
Problem is aside from kindly GM it just has garbo deathrattles to work with. Keep in mind there is a 3 mana 3/4 that gives you free secrets as well. You really have to bend backwards to factor in most of the deathrattle trigger cards.
And secret paladin gets a new addition. Blargh.
Eh, maybe it's more of a midrange/quartermaster card.
3/6, 6/3, 4/4, 3/3 Divine Shield.
These are all really nice when you're playing Curvestone.
Yeah, but sometimes you are going to miss and not get any of those options. Or you won't be able to curve into this with an Elemental the previous turn (is there even a 2-drop Elemental yet?). I guess if there is literally no other options at 3 for Elemental decks, you might pick this. But otherwise it's just pack filler.
