Flavor Text
They're still cleaning up the mess from the last time someone fed the basilisk a deep fried candybar.Don’t Feed the Animals Additional Information
Corrupted Version:
Pretty much only really good for OTK King Krush, where you get 3 Copies of King Krush, then you use Don’t Feed the Animals, into Beastmer Leoroxx, for a potential OTK, because it’s 10 Damage times 3.
If you can make a Control Hunter Deck, Don’t Feed the Animals is actually nice for the Execute that you want to pull off.
4 Stars.
Even the original version +1/+1 is good enough to play it, since it’s buffs all beast in your hands.
And judging from how Hunter plays aggro, they don’t really have many cards in hands, and by the time they have this card, 2-3 cards is often enough to get buffed without have to corrupt it first.
Unless, this time, Hearthstone actually push a big deathrattle beast meta, then it’s definitely useful.
Honestly I think this card is a bit underrated. For 2 mana, you get the +2/+2 effect – which has always proven to be really strong, whether it be Scrap Imp or Glowstone Technician. Thanks to the Corrupt effect, you’d have to probably play this one sometime around turn 4, because you’d have to corrupt it first and then play it the next turn. But that still lands somewhere in the same ball park as to when Scrap Imp or Glowstone Technician were able to take effect, so the power level should be similar.
The issue, though, is for any of these cheap minion/hand buff type decks you’d need lots of cheap minions, and a big hand too. Paladin solved this problem with Crystology, and Warlock solved this problem with Hand of Guldan. At the moment Hunter doesn’t have any cheap, heavy card draw like that, and also doesn’t have a significant number of cheap beasts to play around with, so this card might not work too well this expansion.
Ok in 1 mana hunter.
Hunter and getting bad epic cards, name a more iconic duo.
1/5 stars, but some meme potential, I guess (?)
