Savage Raptor

Savage Raptor (custom Hearthstone card)So there is this Magic card I really like which is called Relenthless Rats. This card features a group of rats which become stronger for each other copy you have in play. Ofcourse, you can have any amount of these rats in your deck. I wanted to do something simmilar. Something that hunts in packs and work together to take down their pray. But what could that be? Oh right, Jurassic World is coming out soon. Raptors ofcourse!

Unlike the Relenthless rats I didn't want to change how Hearthstone works. So therefor your can only have two copies of each card in your deck. With the exception of Arena battles ofcourse. This means the card should be decent with only 1 other copy in the deck (or hand). That why I first chose it to be a 2/2 that becomes a 3/2 the first time you play it. That would mean it similar to the Razorfen Raptor that's currently in the game. However, it would be slightly weaker since the second copy would be a regular 2/2 minion. 
This is why I changed the stats to those of a 2/3 minion; Meaning that the first raptor will be a 3/3 which is a really good 2 drop. Maybe even too good. Let mek now what you guys think of that.

The fun part of this card (well if your playing it) is when you combine it with an Ambush. This rogue spell shuffles three additional copies in your deck; Making the raptor a 6/3 on turn 3. I do think this is a bit quick, but a Bloodknight combined with a Shielded minibot gives you a 6/6 minion on turn 3. So it shouldn't be that overpowered right? I have considered to make the abilitry a Battlecry buff. This means only the second raptor will be stronger than the first one. And now I think of it, that way if FAR better flavorwise. Look at what we've learned for Jurassic Park. It's always the second raptor that get's you!

So I really like the card (otherwise I wouldn't have placed it here), but I'm still thinking what option would be better. Probably a Battlecry ability. Let me know what your toughts are by leaving a comment below.
