Card of the Day: Starving Buzzard


Today's card is one of the Hunter's best friends. The little bird that always makes a huge impact in the game.

PROS: 
This is one of the cards that makes Hunter such a formidable opponent. This gives the class as much card draw power as most control classes like Warlock, Druid, and Mage. Costing a measly 2 mana, you can keep it in your hand until the perfect moment arrives. This perfect moments usually in the form of [card]Unleash the Hounds[/card]. This 4 mana combo could turn a tricky situation around its head, especially when up against aggro decks that rely on swarm tactics, allowing you to draw all the tools you need to win. Lastly, being a free card, it is impossible to not include this in any Hunter's deck, be it all-out aggro or midrange.

CONS: This card doesn't any weakness when it comes to its cost and effect. The only problems it could possibly have are when it is the only minion you could cast early on, risking its being removed immediately, or when there are no beasts to follow it up. While powerful, it does rely on others for it to have any form of value. Without any other beasts, it is just a wimpy 2/1 for 2 mana.
