not a beast itself and way too variabe effect.
Depending on the possible other Deathrattle beasts Hunter gets this might be really interesting. This is the kind of target you want for something like forlorn stalker. Especially if you are able to construct your deck in such a way that the average value is good. Being in the 7 slot is nice as well for Hunter.

by foregoing hunters biggest strength in snowballing beast synergies?
A taunt deck is more likely to have a favorable matchup against aggro.
Think of it kind of like Quest Warrior in it's current form. Your taunt minions slow the game down and give you a solid chance against fast decks. Then you have a win condition that gives you a way to kill off a midrange or control deck at the end.
Well like I said if there are good other beast deathrattles in this expansion we might see a new archetype that's a bit slower. I mean they've been trying to make the trigger deathrattle a hunter thing for quite some time now and it never really took off. So I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to print some overtuned deathrattle beasts that enable this archetype and in that archetype you would play this card.
Edit: I agree that it wouldn't fit in the current Hunter at all. But this seems like the perfect expansion for Blizzard to push the trigger Deathrattle thing, so who knows.
I summon.........Alley Cat!

Isn't Bearshark possible to use during Zombeasts? I forget its restrictions but I don't think there's another beast with etheral or whatever it's called.
Also, that Abomination Archer card reminds me of Brave Archer for some reason, "Today, I don't have to be a Highmane."

Here's just an example of a hydronox deck. I don't know if the C'Thun package is necessary but I had a lot of extra slots and I was already running Dark Arakkoa, plus there were some other taunts in that grouping like Crazed Worshipper and and Twin Emps so I thought an alternate win condition couldn't hurt.

I'd love to see a secret that counters the next battlecry, or at the very least the next discover.
Even without them it's not great. Super slow in a class that can't really afford that.
It is easy to make a thing...but if Hunter gets no Taunt or Lifesteal cards this set they just don't have good ways to survive.

Ancient of War isn't actually a Taunt card. It's a 5/5 that gets a buff when played. Druid of the Claw / Bear Form is an actual card / minion with taunt on it.
N'Zoth is rotating out next year though. What old card is Umbra? The only Umbra I can think of is the new Spiritsinger Umbra card from Un'goro.
Think about it this way. If you sap druid of the claw you get a taunt in your hand because it transformed into a taunt. If you sap ancient of war you get an ancient of war because you are choosing modifiers for it and not transforming it.
Stupid yes. But it's sort of consistent.
New-ish mechanics this expansion:
* Hero + power replacement cards (not exactly new because of Jaraxxus).
* Lifesteal (new term, but a few old card(s) had similar behavior).
* "If your deck has no X-cost minions then..."
* Deathrattles that only work on the opponent's turn.
* Secret deathrattles.

Deathrattle that only procs on opponents turn.
Only druid gets choose one cards, this may end up being the only choose one deathrattle.
I wonder if this would even be summoned by n'zoth. Depends on how they code it I guess. It's definitely open to inconsistencies.

I think I just had a fairly decent Arena Draft...
Maybe time to finally best my 8 Wins personal best?

Well hopefully not. But I guess you're right.
fidget spinner is the coolest card yet but I'd say it's very easy for your opponent to tell which one you picked lol. Still can be useful in all kinds of druid decks. Druid can heal back up if they stop the bleeding, their problem is that it's so hard to stop the bleeding and this card can help with that. Of course you take a lot damage still but at least the board is gone. You can recover behind taunts, this line of play wouldn't work as well in other classes.

If I keep my arena runs and finish after xpac is out, do I get KFT packs?
This card won't be revived by N'Zoth.

I have a Paladin draft right now with no legendaries, but with two spike ridged steeds and two dinosize.
It's a pretty fun deck, though the rest of the draft is somewhat mediocre to be honest. I'm 8-2 right now.
In one of the games, I managed to land Spike Ridged Steed on a Acolyte of Pain, which is an insane combination for Arena.
