If it was 1 mana less it might be viable, but at 6 I think it doesn't stand a chance. Seems they are trying to give Hunters some tools to do things outside of agro, but Lock and Load will just be abused in Agro way more than I think it might in Hunter Control. And there are far better things to cast for 6 mana for Hunter Control than Ball of Spiders as a draw mechanic.
Hope they show the other new Hunter card since we didn't get to see them in these insanely quick matches.

I still don't get why people jump through such elaborate hoops to avoid triggering Hunter traps... If Trump had just popped those traps he could have cleared the board and kept himself in it. A Hunter is all too happy to have you scared of attacking and will just sit back and Hero Power you to death.

Okay, FUCK THIS if it is how it reads:
"Arena Reward Update
Beginning with the launch of The Grand Tournament, the Arena will no longer award players only Goblins vs Gnomes card packs. Instead, players will have a chance to receive a Grand Tournament card pack, Goblins vs Gnomes card pack, or a Classic card pack whenever a pack is awarded."
If the pack reward for arena truly becomes random, I may genuinely for real finally quit. Like I am upset just thinking about it being the possibility. That would be extremely stupid and completely cruel to loyal long time players that they KNOW earn cards through Arena and have everything they need from Classic/GvG, so they essentially force everyone, including people that play arena, to buy packs if this is the case. Fuck fuck fuck you. Arena is my favorite format and it is 95% of what I play and over half that enjoyment comes from earning my collection over time. If I suddenly have to play 3 arenas on average to get a single pack that I actually need, I am done. They need to allow you to choose. I hope to god that is just badly worded with the word "chance". The worst part is them imagining making it random is to answer all the complaints they got over GvG forcing people to receive GvG packs. "Oh, I know, let's make it so they can get any pack, at random!"... instead of you know, allowing people to choose. For fucksake! Good riddance.

Priests and Warriors can sit there and wait out traps for a couple turns, other classes damn sure can't.
*edit*
I guarantee that their current intention is for the pack to be random, which is even worse than arena just giving you whatever the newest pack is. We'll see if there's enough player outrage to get them to change their minds.

It is 10x worse. They went from being somewhat unfriendly to newer players that need to build their classic collection, to being completely unfriendly to everyone except for day 1 newbs. There better be a TON of outrage to change this shit, I hope people take notice of it and raise a huge stink. FUCK YOU Blizzard. I am definitely going to quit if it stays random, there is no way in hell... fuck that.

Exactly. It's pretty unbelievable really. Well... I guess not, since the HS team is obsessed with randomness and greed, but wow!!
Lol this guy dropped 2 secrets and I knew one of them was Mirror Entity. My board has 1 5/3 Sylvanas and his has a 4/4 Azure Drake. So I play Kelthuzad and allow his mirror Entitty to trigger and give him a KT, and then I smashed my Sylvanas into his Azure Drake, killing both but stealing his Kelthuzad and then spawning 2 more Sylvanas at the end of turn. GG.

It's normally 50 bucks for 40 packs, so the preorder gets you 10 extra packs and the cardback.
