    The draw is great, especially since hunter needs good draw, has rush synergy for quest, 4/1 is great because it’s a rush. So this is basically “deal 4 damage, advance your side quest, draw a rush minion from your deck” really strong 9/10

    4/5 because it’s “draw” and not “discover”, but still strong as hell.

    3 mana deal 4 damage to a minion and draw a card.

    5/5. Sure you have to attack it into a minion (could activate secrets for example) and sure the card you draw is a rush minion. But this is a 3 mana deal 4 damage to a minion draw a card. In hunter. That’s just insane.

    Wow and look who joined the running for most broken card award. First off it supports the Hunter side quest of summoning 3 rushes. Second this card is ASKING for you to use dire frenzy on it. Why not use a card to put 3 copies more in deck with all having ability to tutor out the next one from the deck.

    Nice that hunter gets the most broken cards, because of that „bad hero power“.

    Shadowbolt that draws a card and can get tutored with Master’s Call seems pretty good to me

    Instant 5 stars, even if it Draws itself. It doesn’t matter all that much for me. This is one of the missing pieces that I was looking for Hunter since I didn’t want to use Tracking unless I had legit no other choice if I was looking for a specific Card. I learned a lot from playing Midrange Beast Hunter, and one thing that I had learned (Other that I am going to miss Master’s Call when April is out) was that:

    1.) Hunters just want to draw some cards and efficiently.
    and
    2.) Rush Minions are pretty dang good.

    The Biggest problem was that Hunters just wanted to draw more cards in general, and because of this, they kinda had no choice but to play something like Tracking or Loot Hoarder. And having something like Hunter Gryphon is going to boost up Hunter’s Morale to play more cards like this: now already I can see the judgement of Highland Hunter just using this just to find Zilliax. But being able to find something like Springpaw, and especially in the early game is just as good.

    For me, this is a key card that I was looking forward to but they made it even better, for my Midrange Beast Hunter, and now I’m able to not only draw a total of 8 cards but to also try and find my Rush Beast minions, which is one of Hunter’s biggest advantages. Rush minions are some of the strongest Key commands out there in Heartstone because you can have an imminent action, instead of waiting for your minion to wake up first. Overall even if players are going to use just find Zilliax and then calling it useless for a while, I, on the other hand, can finally live up to Zul’Jin’s Dream, and Drive him to go to maybe even reaching back to rank 10 or even further. I did it once, and I can do it again.

    Good tempo + Beast Tag + Card Draw and Rush synergy (side quest)
    I think it’s Solid and will see play, if not now for sure after April rotation

    I give this card a
    “I mean it’s a card”
    Out of 5

    It’s a 3 mana deal 4 damage to minion ( not through taunt) and draw a rush minion which is an effect worth 1 mana if we compare it to the Warrior card that does the same. But this is hunter where tempo is more important so I think this card is actually pretty good.
