This card really looks average to me. Not sure if it’ll see that much play, but I’m totally convinced this card is overrated.
The additional effect gained by holding a dragon in your hand is pretty irrelevant, honestly. Most dragons are pretty big minions, so unless Blizzard suddenly prints, like, four or five viable small dragons for this expansion, Dragon Hunter will most likely follow the path of heavy, late game control, meaning that chip damage to the opponent’s face doesn’t matter much. And it doesn’t look like Blizzard will print four or five viable small dragons this expansion, because Blizzard already released about half of the cards and I have yet to see a single small dragon.
And two mana deal three damage? I didn’t play Hearthstone when Quick Shot was still in play, but that sounds fairly decent to me. That’s some OK filler removal.
I’m guessing some players may use this considering have primordial explorer a poisonous dragon that discovers a dragon. cards that refill card slots are cherished by hunters since can be easy to empty out your hand.
I would play it even without dragons. 2 mana 3 dmg is solid and sees play in every class which has such a card.
Tbh there won’t be a smorc hunter dragon deck so this is probably just a worthless card.
I feel like even though they are really trying to push the envelope for Dragon Hunter to be a thing, they really have to step it up, or otherwise, it’s just a re-valued Arcane Shot. 3 Stars.
I like the fact that it can get better with spell damage.. like 8 and 8 face with malygos
So it seems not bad, but the Dragon hunter archetype just seems a worse version of a beast hunter. It doesn’t have enough good cards to really be a super aggressive archetype, and to me it seems poor at best and terrible at worst.
It doesn’t have enough good cards… yet.
We have to wait and see…
If Hunter gets lots of “small dragons” and synergies with it I can see this being a boring but quite strong card. If you have a dragon this is a frostbolt to a minion and face without freeze and that’s pretty good for a class like Hunter.
Better Cobra shot, however the old quick shot was the best
If my deck has dragons me still go face? Well let’s be honest, NO because you’re deck probably can’t run dragons, we already have beast hunter and we had mech hunter for a while, that’s already a lot of races for one class but I guess Shaman exists. Although maybe Carrion Drake and Emeriss can help out, the witchwood tried to create a kind of poisonous/dragon/minions that died this turn archetype that didn’t work out too well
3/5, because the card is obv good, but dragon hunter needs like 10 more dragons to be viable
I’ve been saying the same thing about Rogue, but rogue has another problem because they can’t play big stuff
