Basically aim for anything that can pop out multiple Beasts in a single turn, whether it's Jeweled Macaw in Standard or Alleycat in Wild. Emerald Spellstone is another one that could give the Spirit a big kick. Depending on how many minions are on the opposite side of the board, Spirit of the Lynx could get boosted handily and would be a tough removal, since it has Stealth for its first turn.Īnything that generates multiple beasts should offer Spirit of the Lynx a big boost. There are a lot of cards to make this work, but Unleash the Hounds should be the first one that comes to everyone's mind. It's a bizarro Scavenging Hyena, powering up for each Beast summoned. Whenever you summon a Beast, give it +1/+1.Ĭard Analysis: Spirit of the Lynx is unique in that its power focuses on powering it specifically. One wouldn't think that Zul'jin would play too nice with the Hunter's Loa and Spirit, but some careful curation could make this combo work just fine. While it's nice to hit any target for 2 damage, it isn't nearly as cool as the Death Knight's Zombeasts. And you'll probably want to keep one of those handy, because Zul'jin's Hero Power is pretty lame, by comparison. Deathstalker Rexxar is still around for the late game. If by some chance the Hunter doesn't win with this play, that's totally fine. If the Spell Hunter's deck is curated carefully, Zul'jin is a potent play, one that could very well put the Hunter in a good position to win. Zul'jin can replay all of the Hunter's valuable Secrets, summon spells like Animal Companion, and enemy removal spells like Crushing Walls. Needless to say, he'll work beautifully in the Spell Hunter deck. So yeah, that makes Zul'jin pretty nifty. Then again, the Yogg train stopped as soon as that body was destroyed and there's no such concern about that in this case. Zul'jin doesn't quite feel like he needs to be a Hero Card, but it does sort of make sense, because with a Battlecry as powerful as this one, why should the player get a big body to go along with it. Hero Power: Berserker Throw: Deal 2 damage.Ĭard Analysis: What's better than Yogg-Saron? How about a Yogg-Saron that replays only your spells? Yes, there's still a potential for it all to backfire, but it feels much less likely for players who know what they're doing. The Hunter Champion - Zul'jinīattlecry: Cast all spells you've played this game (targets chosen randomly). With that out of the way, let's continue.
