I can vouch for this. Possibly every available spell was cast.
Beast Druid has superior 1 drops and superior turn 2 plays. Hunter doesn't start catching up until turn 3 with high roll Animal Companion or Eaglehorn or crazy Huntress play.
In addition, Druid has Innervate play and if they get out Savage Combatant out early then the Hunter has to high roll Huffed to stabilize or the game is done.
In fact I think Beast Druid is all around better on curve until turn 6 with exception of turn 3. So in most cases I think Druid will have a better start.
Edit: This is Midrange Hunter, Hybrid Hunter should match up better.

I'll take if we get freeze nova in exchange, Doomsayers are such a gamble in control pally.
1 damage off lethal against Yogg Hunter, 1 damage and how can hunter play the control game.

LOL these beast druid players kinda suck. I'm not convinced the deck is that great. When you line up that stranglethorn combo against a slower deck, sure it's a blast and you hate blizzard for how uninteractive it is. But if you're actually ahead on board and you play minions they want to remove, that combo happens to be very slow.
I'm also sure these beast druid players I am up against are just bad and their lists are probably ugly messes. So I'm not judging it all quite yet.
Why?

I. Just. Lost. To. Zooladin.
Didn't draw a single clear.

What dragon paladin list are you using. I'm trying a Curator/Dragon Paladin right now, and it's fun, but not competitive at all.

I like who they got for Illhoof/Curator. Just need him to redo Cho's lines and we're good!
Here is my list. Going for more midrange and board control. Not sure about the scarabs, but liking it so far.
Will be interesting to see if someone can finally make Dragon Paladin work.

Was playing around with a Dragon Priest deck in Casual.
Played a Hunter.
Forgot about Call of the Wild on Turn 8 and lost.
Realized that "man, that's how it feels for everyone else playing my Hunter deck."
(I never played a Hunter while climbing Ranked the past few days.)

I was using jewelled scarab but I cut that for something.
Thanks, I'll try it out. My deck was similar, but I was using Murloc Knight istead of Corrupted Seer, had one more ivory knight and a lay on hands in place of forbidden healing.

Why would you want to do that? I can't see how it would be broken either.

Murloc knight could be better tbh. I dunno. I just wanted something that hit the board fast because drawing it off curator basically requires a fast piece imo. And it's basically a third, more expensive, consecration in terms of value.

I could see it like maybe to avoid certain Deathrattles or something, but no, it wouldn't be broken I don't think.
Remove taunts, silence minions like Sylvanas or Cairne, etc.
Yes, it would be broken. Targeted transform effects are very powerful. That's why Tinkmaster got nerfed.
Tinkmaster got nerfed for a slightly different reason. It's cheaper for one, and it usually was used on way bigger targets to make them smaller, like Keeper of Uldaman. the 50/50 chance for a 1/1 was way too good, which are not the same odds the Evolve effect has at all. I don't think it would be outright broken, but sure, against something like Sylvanas or Chillmaw, you'd rather deal with a bigger minion than its deathrattle so in those cases it is powerful.
Maybe you need the minion attached to the effect was smaller than a 4/5 for 4 because those are obviously very good stats, but if we are talking about the evolution effect itself I don't think it would be too OP if you could target an opponent.

watching beast druid and it's ok, nothing spectacular. as expected I suppose
it could be really good if you use it on a Tirion or other very annoying legendaries, and change them into something (probably) less good. or to avoid taunts for lethal, etc.

Ahh, of course, didn't think about that. Transformation effects are really good, duh.
Thanks everyone, hah.
Thanks everyone, hah.
I think an optimized list will be pretty scary, if it curves well then the tiger into warden is about as broken as everyone figured, but I've had surprisingly clunky hands when it doesn't all work out.
Curvestone vol. 20 is boring as heck. We've seen this song and dance over and over...give us something more interesting. Course then you get something like purify when they try to do the opposite so either way it's disappointing.

I got my first rage friend request of the day.

He said "you fucking lucky noob"
I got a glance at his rank before he unfriended me. It was 15. I'm just testing decks out in casual but I'm rank 2 lol.

I have malygos, one of my first legendaries never got the rest of the cards needed to use him though. Didn't play him in constructed once.
that and if you're lucky Menagerie Warden + Savage Combatant are probably the best combo cards you could get, and I don't even think the combo is that broken. then you can have a good curve with decent minions but that's about it.
