    I can see this potentially being a filler card unfortunately, but may see some fringe play. 

    At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit. 

    Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.

    While I wanted to give this 5 stars, in standard there are far, far too few cheap deathrattle cards to really cheat out a lot of cards early on.

    Probably wont see much play.

    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.

    Not terrible, but a card to keep in mind when building DR decks.  That 1 mana discount might come in handy, although I would prefer to have DR options on curve rather than a potential 1 mana discount...

    I like this card as an enabler of unique Deathrattle strategies. Who knows, maybe this makes Deathrattle (or Egg) Demon Hunter a real threat in the meta. I'll certainly be trying it out in a number of decks.

    They seem to want to include all the DR package in this expansion to give DR DH support.

    Not a bad card, but still, 3 mana and basically having taunt with an effect like this it's not really worth it.

    Assuming it's played alongside a deathrattle, it's already a 2-mana 2/4, so it's pretty good. Probably not terribly impactful, but at least it can take a hit in the early game.

    I'd agree with this assessment. Although this one does have the advantage of lower mana cost and therefore earlier tempo, I don't see it making the cut even in DR decks, it's just not that good.

    For hunters and dhunters.

    In dhunter in particular you can get this to create some shenanigans with Razorfen Beastmaster and 5 drop deathrattles like Burning Blade Acolyte and Darkspear Berserker.

    But its likely more relevant for hunters. Getting tonk out a few turns earlier is no joke.

    You pay 3 mana to get 1 mana discount for 1 card so you need to play at least 3 to make it even and this card is so bad to begin with.

    I can see an obscure DH combo where you discount your 5-cost Deathrattles you include for Death Speaker Blackthorn so that they are also pulled by Razorfen Beastmaster, but I don't think the meh stats on this card are justified by the off chance you can make this happen.

    I just can't see an useful applications for Barrens Trapper. If you're playing small DRs to combo with this, you're probably an aggro/tempo deck and you want to finish off your opponent at that stage, if you're playing big DRs, the discount isn't good enough.

    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)

    I like this in any version of deathrattle Hunter, but I feel like it was printed to be used in the DH archetype that is being pushed.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    Seems too slow, you need to play 3 Deathrattles before breaking even. Most of the time you will probably be better off not playing it.

    Deathrattle Hunter in Duels if they still support it with hero powers and treasures

    Deathrattle DH won't work anyway

    Probably not going to fare well. Will likely see some experimentation, but I don't see it being good enough. Remember for the future though. If we get more DR support, this could come around.

    A bit too niche

    Could let you get something normally too expensive with Razorfen Beastmaster. Otherwise, I don't know. Do you want to play Darkmoon Tonk for 6 mana? I believe these discounts only apply to your hand, so I don't think it will do anything for cards like Death Speaker Blackthorn. And my guess is that it would be useless if it did.

    Line Hopper had fringe to none play, sadly this could end as him.

    But could be buffed when in hand or smt...!

    It's weird that such a good effect doesn't seem to have much of a place right now. It being Neutral means you can at least experiment with it in a variety of classes, I guess.

    With Undertaker being un-nerfed I'd say this has a decent chance of seeing play.

    Maybe used in the future for Demon Hunter Deathrattle. Just don't think it got there yet.

    Will depend or DR cards to see play.

    Current DR cards for the upcoming rotation aren't great, so I doubt we will see this much. Maybe in the upcoming sets.

    There's some meme potential with this in a Celestial Alignment deck to cheat out a bunch of big deathrattle minions, but other than that the effect is too delayed and insignificant in the context of what deathrattle decks want to achieve, which is getting value off of triggering their deathrattles.

    For glory, honor, and gold!

    If you played this and had say Taelan Fordring in hand, would Razorfen Beastmaster be able to summon him?
