This also limits your ability to use minions purely for the purpose of completing the quest. You could fill your entire deck with 1-mana minions and complete the quest rapidly, but then you will have a large number of weak draws between the raptors in your deck for the late game, so your ability to flood the board would still remain limited.įurthermore, you need to stay alive until you can start getting value from the quest. Note the difference between play and summon: you will not get quest credit from Unleash the Hounds or from the second 1/1 Cat summoned by Alleycat. Playing seven 1-mana minions is a tall order. You may even be able to flood the whole board in a single turn if you hit a swarm of raptors! Combine the swarm with a Tundra Rhino, and you have a charging army!
Therefore, once you play the quest, you will find plenty of low-cost beasts, each of which draws you another card so they do not really count against your odds of finding other cards in your deck. What are the raptors you ask? They are the swarm! The raptors, Carnassa’s Brood, are 1-mana 3/2 Beasts that have a battlecry to draw a card. When you complete the quest, you get Queen Carnassa, a 5-mana 8/8 Beast with a battlecry to shuffle 15 raptors into your deck. The new Hunter quest, The Marsh Queen, is a quest to play seven 1-cost minions. It is a card that can single-handedly create a new archetype, so it’s pretty exciting! Hearthstone’s Journey to Un’Goro expansion card reveal season is underway, and one of the revealed cards is the new Hunter legendary quest, The Marsh Queen.
