Predatory Strikes

Ability

Cost: 1

Restriction: Druid – Feral Hero Required

Feral Hero Required.
Ongoing: While your hero is in bear form or cat form, it has +2 ATK while attacking.

Well the only downside I see about this card, is that you have to have a Feral Hero, so for now you can only use it with Thangal.

But if you play Thangal, be sure to include four copies of this card, because a +2 while attacking for only 1 resource to put it in play is cheap.

Card Rating: 4/5

Sealed: 4/5

Constructed: 5/5

Casual: 5/5

Raid:2/5

See you on the Battlefield

Predatory Strikes

Cost 1

Druid

Ability – Feral Talent

Feral Hero Required

Ongoing: While your hero is in Bear form or cat form, it has +2 ATK while attacking.

OK today we look at the Feral Druid Talent. Now I like a lot of the talents because they really shape the way that the specific hero can play. The big problem I have with the talents is that once you see the card hit the table you kind of have an idea as to what your opponent is playing.

OK let’s take a look at the card now. Great cost and solid ability for 1 cost. I like to look at this cad as DOT (damage over time) because chances are once your Hero is in Bear form he will be swinging for the 2 every single turn. Another great quality of the card is that you can stack it so you can have 4 in play and be doing 8 damage a turn with just your hero.

Ok now the down side of all of this…   First off if you are pulled out of the Bear/Cat form for any reason then your hero swings for nothing…   Any large amount of ability removal will totally disrupt the deck your trying to play and Predatory Strike will be the first thing ability removal targets. The greatest detriment to this card is its dependency on Bear/Cat form. There is also the fact that almost all of the top tier druid cards are not feral and if you play a non-feral ability while in Bear/Cat form you’re pulled out of it and you lose the effect of this card.

Sealed (2): If I was playing Druid it would be an OK pull but would depend on me drawing the ability to turn into a bear and that’s a gamble.

Constructed (2): The bear deck is intensive on cards and the druid lacks big armor and the cards to survive an early rush making the deck hard to play.

Casual (4): Predatory Strikes is an awesome Bear card to play in a fun deck with friends, bears and potentially cats in the future should be very fun to play with. This is just one fo those cards that just gets better in a fun format rather than a competitive one.

Raid (2): This card suffers like most ongoing effects in the fact that it will not be ongoing for very long with all the removal Onyxia has.
