A bit clunky for any faster decks, but this can help any hunter combos that summon charge beasts from hand to deal even more damage.
This post is discussing the wild format.
Hand-buff is not always great, but this card is very easy to hold for Corrupt value. Holding it means you probably get more Beasts in your hand, so it's a natural fit -- especially for the cheap spells and big minions archetype they are pushing.
It's alright, but nothing spectacular. I guess it can be used in some kind of [Hearthstone Card (stonetusk board) Not Found] combo deck or if you just want a little extra beef. It is only 2 mana which makes the corruption pretty easy to activate, so there is that. But I really don't see why this had to be an epic.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
This is the kind of hand buffing Hunters wanted in Mean streets of Gadgetzan.
With cards like Wolpertinger and Zixor Prime being in almost all hunter lists right now I'm certain this card can find a home.
Heck, you could also use with with that Leeorox and King Krush combo to make the Krush's even bigger after you've duplicated them
Really good, and a 2 mana corrupt card is really easy to activate.
By The Holy Light!
Mmm, at least it's easy to corrupt.
Wheter this is good or not will rely more on the current beasts.
I guess the better place for it is a quick aggro with beasts and card draw.
The only time handbuff was good was with magnetic, beasts are not magnetic so this one is bad...

I"m kinda meh about it.
If you’re olaying Beasts, you are probably a midrange-aggressive deck. This only comes out on turn 4 and you are either winning already or losing and this card does not make a difference. Not optimistic about this one at all, but it will be used in weird meme decks for sure
This ain't no place for a hero
Seems meh. Smugglers was much more flexible in its cost and application, and that still barely saw play. With enough support this might have a chance, but I doubt it.
This isn't terrible, it could be played, there are some fearsome beasts who could be made even more fearsome.
Its just one of those hunter cards that has tremendous potential but falls flat because hunters cant draw for shit in standard, and have virtually no defensive options outside of Freezing Trap. So its likely to end up like Hunting Party or [Hearthstone Card (scarlett webweaver) Not Found]; tons of potential, but otherwise impractical.
Still, I love me some handbuffs, so here's likely where I waste my rank stars with day 1. Here's hoping that hunter get some real card draw to make this thing actually competitive.
Happy for beast support for hunter but this card isn't impressive for me. I think this would've been better if it buffed beasts on board.
Hunter also isn't great on card draw so getting value out of this card is hard to pull off.
That shouldn't stop you from stitching them together ^^
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This card might make that deathrattle beast deck work, with Augmented Porcupine and Mok'Nathal Lion. I'm keen to try it regardless :D
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Seems like a good effect, BUT handbuffing has nearly never worked in hunter. The only buff card that sees play right now is Scavenger's Ingenuity, but that's only because it draws a card. The BIGGEST problem with handbuff hunter, is the fact that hunter has BAD draw, so it's hard to get a lot of value from handbuffing. As long as hunter doesn't get DH levels of draw, handbuffing isn't going to be any good for hunter.
Standard: Might see experimentation, but that's it.
Wild: Will see NO play, Hunter is bad in wild right now, and the hunter deck that do get played are highlander hunter and FACE hunter. Both don't want Don't Feed the Animals.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
Love the flavor! This is a good card, but feels a lite slow for current Hunter builds. And how many beasts do they usually have in hand anyway? Still, it's easy to corrupt and +2/+2 is huge!
Get a couple Wolpertingers and a Tundra Rhino and we're looking at some significant burst here.

I think this will see play - is pretty good on card like Wolpertinger for example.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Slow-ish value in a class that likes to go fast, and doesn't have particularly much card draw to fill the hand either. Not entirely sold on this to be honest.
Any 1 or 2 mana beasts + Tundra Rhino will make an OTK potential.
This card is very easy to corrupt, so you will always get some value of it
Handbuff cards don't always work out, and this one is in a class that doesn't have the draw to make it effective and usually don't hold very many cards. Even in its Corrupted form, its power level is still not really that high, so it seems bad.
The only place this could possibly see any play is in a really janky Wolpertinger + Tundra Rhino + whatever else combo deck.
If only handbuff was useful for that..

Handbuffing is hard to play.. I think that if they wanted to push hand buffing they should add a decent body or "draw a card" to those cards...
The flavour of this card is utterly spot on and I love it.
Power wise, it seems slightly slow and mediocre.
T3 Animal CompanionHuffer into T4 Corrupted Don't Feed the Animals double Wolpertinger. Aggro Hunter's mid-game dream right there.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Meanwhile in wild...
Me:"Ok, so I want to corrupt this card quickly... Is there a good synergistic one on 3 mana cost?"
Also me just watching Master's Call: Huh... Ok, fair enough
good meme
TOTAL CORRUPTION
TOTAL POWAAAAAAA
This just seems terrible it's like smuggle run but worse because it only hits beasts, but hey maybe its great in practice
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
More like don't play this card! Holding onto cards is as much Hunter's class identity as freeze cards are to Shaman.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Will definitely see play, but probably not good enough in the long run.
This is cute, but I don't think it's that amazing. I'd rather be running more minions to contest the board with than be wasting some mana buffing a couple of Beasts in my hand. Happy to be wrong, but I just don't see it.
Welcome to the site!
Bad. Very easy to corrupt, but this card is still very bad.
Aggro hunter seems nice for this one
All hail the banshee queen.
More fuel for Knuckles OTK decks.
It's just kinda bad. Don't play handbuffs.

Good for combos with Hunting Party and/or the Trampling Rhino.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Handbuffs, but just for beasts. I still don't see that mechanic working well. Are we using it on the porcupine or something?
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Stop trying to make Hunter Handbuff happen, Blizzard. It's not going to happen.
I have spoken.
Has the potential to be very strong in the right deck, I'm sure it'll see some play
