Turn 10 for 16 damage with Dinotamer Brann… sigh
I don’t like this. If beast hunter works, then this will be an annoying high roll win condition. Oh, you drew this and buffed you’re whole deck on turn 3? Damn, I guess concede unless I have crazy board control already.
I take it back. I’ve been toying with a highlander beast hunter, and am now stoked for this card. Give it to me precious. Highlander beast hunter will be dope.
Also, initially I thought the +1/1 was the only real use of this card, but now I see how the versatility is going to make this card so freaking strong. Early game insane buffs or late game copy a bit beast.
This is a another nice card for OTK King Crush Hunter or Big Minion Druid, but that’s about it. Your more or less likely going to use the +1/+1 on all beasts if you are more Control, rather than making a copy of a beast unless you are more Tempo or Aggro. Midrange is somewhere in between. 4 Stars.
As of the current meta and minion pool this is an auto include for hunters in fact for beast hunters this is pretty much a 3 cost prince keleseth that doesn’t impair you from other 2 cost cards.
On the other hand for druids it’s not that great till late game atm and will likely have minimal play again that’s atm there’s still more cards to reveal.
Very good, either drop it on curve to get the deck Buff or can copy Medium size beast like stealth Mana-Saber or Rush Prime.
I don’t ask for much, I just want the hunter quest to get support and this card is kinda giving me hope.. But probably ain’t it.
For Druid: 2 Stars (for this expansion).
Beast +1/+1 is useless. Copy can be strong with Marsh Hydra and especially Winged Guardian, but even if they make a comeback in a Meta Deck, this will struggle. It has Anti-Synergy with Strength in Numbers and Imprisoned Saytr and has to be in Hand when Hydra/Guardian is played. However, I think if the Meta requires more Winged Guardians, it might see play.
For Hunter: 5 Stars.
Keleseth for Beast Hunter, but it doesnt limit your Deckbuilding and even if drawn lategame it can become a huge threat by coping something like Zixor or Mok’Nathal Lion. It can even copy King Krush in Highlander Hunter!
In Druid, it can be used in Big Druid to create powerful cards such as Marsh Hydra or Winged Guardian, but probably not because of Strenght in Numbers.
In hunter though, it’s an INSANE card. You can put this in Highlander Hunter for an OTK. On turn 9 play Alexstrasza, and on turn 10, Dinotamer Brann and Shan’do which copies King Crush! Plus you can build a Midrange Hunter deck with this. I believe this card will make Midrange hunter tier 2, maybe even tier 1! The buff combined well with a lot of cards like Augmented porcupine!
5 stars, crafting on day one.
Just another high-roll card. You draw it – you win (with a deck full of garbage).
The problem of this card for hunter is that it’s not a beast itself (at least problem for wild).
Well not in a dino and king crush build where you summon beast from your hand then you can get three charge and make a forth with this.
Could be potent. I can see a Tempo Beast Hunter deck forming around this- the DeckBuff is downright Keleseth-ish, and Hunter might also use the copy effect too because he has a lot of handbuff cards that haven’t assembled into a deck quite yet. Druid needs some big beasts to play (is Winged Guardian good enough?), the copy effect could be a great payoff for all your ramping.
Depends on Support/5
Double king krush in highlander?
