Strategy[edit | edit source]
Similar to Webspinner or Jeweled Macaw, this card is a 1-drop value-generating Beast for Hunters.
Shimmerfly can synergize well with cards that benefit from Deathrattles, such as Necromechanic, or Spells, such as Zul'jin. Being a Beast also lets Shimmerfly synergize with Hunter's large amount of Beast-related cards.

Name / Desc | Rarity | Type | Subtype | Class | Cost | Atk | HP | Description | |||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Arcane Shot | Free | Spell | Hunter | 1 | Deal 2 damage. Magi conjured arcane arrows to sell to hunters, until hunters learned just enough magic to do it themselves. The resulting loss of jobs sent Stormwind into a minor recession. | ||||||||||||||

Hunter's Mark | Free | Spell | Hunter | 2 | Change a minion's Health to 1. Never play 'Hide and Go Seek' with a Hunter. | ||||||||||||||
Animal Companion | Free | Spell | Hunter | 3 | Summon a random Beast Companion. You could summon Misha, Leokk, or Huffer! Huffer is more trouble than he's worth. | ||||||||||||||
Kill Command | Free | Spell | Hunter | 3 | Deal 3 damage. If you have a Beast, deal 5 damage instead. "Kill!", he commanded. | ||||||||||||||

Adorable Infestation | Common | Spell | 1 | Give a minion +1/+1. Summon a 1/1 Cub. Add a Cub to your hand. Some cards are strong by sheer power; others draw strength from love. | |||||||||||||||
Carrion Studies | Common | Spell | Hunter | 1 | Discover a Deathrattle minion. Your next one costs (1) less. A good read but a little too much fluff. | ||||||||||||||
Rapid Fire | Common | Spell | Hunter | 1 | Twinspell Deal 1 damage. Pew! Pew! | ||||||||||||||
Corrosive Breath | Common | Spell | Hunter | 2 | Deal 3 damage to a minion. If you're holding a Dragon, it also hits the enemy hero. It's a breath of fresh terror! | ||||||||||||||

Clear the Way | Rare | Spell | Hunter | 1 | Sidequest: Summon 3 Rush minions. Reward: Summon a 4/4 Gryphon with Rush. The terrifying part is the gryphons' squeaky voices afterward. | ||||||||||||||
