Okay, so what would you use instead that only has one Mysterious Challenger and no Tirion Fordring?

DE some of your garbo adventure legendary and craft one more MC and its companion

Seems as though Blizzard is going to stick with the theme of giving Hunter ways to generate card advantage without ever giving them actual card draw. Whether it'll work, who knows.
I think Infest could be decent though. Probably a one-of in slower Hunter decks. Playing it while you have 3 minions is probably the sweet spot. Any more than that and the value is pretty ridiculous.

a more midrange version/buff deck. You can also just go for straight eboladin. Eboladin/aggro paladin is probably way better tbh than trying to do something w/ one MC and no tirion

There is good reason for this. None of the other crystal gain cards do nothing at full mana. Only arguably astral communion although technically that gives you full 10 mana and not empty crystals, so if you had some card draw on board you could draw into a 10 drop and play it immediately. Darnassus gives you a minion regardless and that 5 mana one can choose to draw cards.
edit:
Infest is sort of the reincarnation of starving buzzard if you think about it. Different of course and different in a significant way. But you're getting a card per hound summoned.
Wait you can dust the adventure legendaries now? I thought that wasn't coming in until Standard. Which ones is it safe to dust?
Hunter card
btw after I thought about if only they made card like infest but drawing card :/
I play it at 5-7 mana
that Ragnaros summoning dude and Maexxna
If these were skewed toward class cards too it would be a lot better for hunter, good thing captain's parrot is out at least. There are not that many useless beasts I think, the worst one is boar even that with houndmaster is not bad.
That is if hunter suddenly starts playing value games.

I'm still waiting to dust adventure cards. It just doesn't make sense to dust cards right before an expansion.
Zoo lock, freeze mage, combo druid for both players in this final
I've said it a few times now but these Blizzard tournaments have been so boring. Standard and the changes can't come soon enough.
Turn 6 lethalGood game this.
Can't wait for those C'thun and N'zoth Paladin mirror huh
What, hunter can't make a zoo deck?
I don't know they called as zoo, usually those mofos known as face a.k.a smorc hunter with running those low cost minion
To be fair he could be genuinely crying at the state of the game.
miladesn post an cool aggro paladin deck in past thread, I think that better than this
Absolutely true, but I realllly wanted that cardback; it is so damn nice. With that included, I'll give Blizz a cut of my monthly games budget for a chance for 100 packs.

Add in Rivendare and Feign Death and holy shit dude I have 30 beasts in hand.
Fun things to do: Fight the expert Hunter AI and laugh as they play a 5 mana buzzard and nothing else as it doesn't seem to know that it costs more.
Not really liking Infest just because it's totally dead if you don't have board and hunter is not exactly known for controlling and maintaining a board presence--and when you do then this is simply win more, while hunter is already good at pushing an advantage into lethal. Unleash and Snake trap seem nice with it but it feels kinda similar to feign death where it'll just end up really clunky in practice.
Don't suppose anyone has a link to this? miladesn has like 1500 posts, it's gonna take a while to look through all of them
EDIT: is it this one?

I don't think its quite that good. While it could be great value, filling your hand with beasts is useless for aggro hunters and for midrange hunter, there are a lot of subpar beasts so while it will be great when you can fill your hand with Savannah Highmanes, most of the time drawing your cards will be a lot more useful than getting any of the base set beasts.
New Card infest:
I think this is damn good. The first thing that comes to mind is a turn 6, Unleash the Hounds into Infest combo.
Bump for new page. I love this, better version of Poison Seeds.

Do you mean Soul of the Forest?
Cult Master? True, that's probably the Hunter's best draw option left, the body is not that useful though.
And yes Soul of the Forest..

yeah cult master is basically better, if the beasts cost 1 mana less or something it'd be dope but ultimately it looks like an arena card to me, random beasts are very hit or miss, webspinner is only played cause there's no other better 1 drop options for hunter
Soul of the forest, not poison seed, no one uses it so you're forgiven lol.
aggro hunters usually dont play draw cards and are often left with nothing in midgame, if they dont win quickly. This might give you a full hand again, even if most beasts you get are bad, you can at least maintain some pressure.
This card might even create some kind of zoo hunter. Flood the board with cheap creatures, and replentish your hand when they are killed. Its an easy card to get value from for a hunter.
