The beauty of it all? The card doesn’t even need to be in your hand!
Any advantages you can accumulate, however slight, can lead to victories. Silencing Shot rewards a crafty Hunter who is experienced in the mind games that take place between players. Because of that, I believe that today’s preview card will most likely find a home in a control Hunter build, rather than in some of the aggressive builds of the class we’ve seen in the past. The card is quite reactive, after all.
The titillating question? What else will Fires of Outland produce that makes a control Marksmanship Hunter strong and viable? When spotted in the wild, Hunter control has generally come in the form of talented Survival guy Azarak Wolfsbood. What incentives will the new set bring to run Elendril out there as a control archetype?
My lips are sealed, but they’re also forming a little grin . . .
