While Grim Patron (or Imp Gang Boss for that matter) this is not, the 1/4 is still an extremely powerful card that plays very well with all of the damaging tools Warrior has. I believe Midrange Warrior is going to be one of the strongest decks in the early days of Knights (I know what I’ll be taking to legend) and I thought that before we saw Valkyr Soulclaimer.
I have already discussed my passion for Tempo Warrior, and this is yet another piece that can make the archetype come together. While I am skeptical of that archetype right now, in a set or two this could be a real player. While I do not think it is going to be good in decks that want to fight for the board, I could definitely see it coming into play for any future Control Hunter decks that exist. Tutors are always inherently strong, and this is the first real one we’ve seen for Hunter. Being able to fill in your curve is important, as is being able to go find a finisher. Stitched Tracker is not going to fix all of the classes’ problems, but it is a good start. Control decks don’t just need one or two strong cards to work, they need a slew of efficient minions and spells that help them build to their end game. In my discussion of Deathstalker Rexxar, I said the problem with slow Hunter builds is not a lack of finisher, but rather a lack of strong control tools. For those reasons, I do not think this will see play in any midrange or aggressive list.
In addition, there are some strong three drops running around. That makes the body quite bad and takes away the Houndmaster threat. Getting any minion from your deck is insane, and the fact that you can tweak it to what you need is even better. There is no doubt that Stitched Tracker’s ability (which is arguably better than just “draw a card”) is powerful. In fact, it is probably the fastest class in the game. However, as has been the problem in the past, Hunter is not a class that likes to play slow.
This has been a real theme of the set, and it shows again here. Stitched Tracker is an interesting minion from the stand point that it is a slow Hunter card. We begin this article with a card that I am completely split down the middle on.
