Strategy

Vereesa Windrunner's raw stats are not worth her mana cost, nor are the stats of the weapon she equips. However, as the weapon is a result of Vereesa's Battlecry, having a weapon as well as a decent body together is overall worth it.

While the Spell Damage gained from Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury is temporary, it can help you either quickly finish a game with Kill Command and Rapid Fire, or it can ensure a clean field alongside Explosive Shot and Wing Blast. Spell Damage coming from a weapon instead of a minion gives the user a lot more flexibility, as the Spell Damage can be consistently gained over three separate turns. The player also doesn't need to spend any mana on the later turns to gain Spell Damage and can use all the mana on spells instead, potentially representing a huge burst of damage.

Note that Secrets will not be powered up by Thori'dal's effect, as it will wear off at the end of your turn before your secrets can trigger.

Hunter damage-based spells

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.
Kill Command	Free	Spell		Hunter	3			Deal 3 damage. If you have a Beast, deal 5 damage instead. "Kill!", he commanded.
Multi-Shot	Free	Spell		Hunter	4			Deal 3 damage to two random enemy minions. You see, it's all about throughput.
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!
Marked Shot	Common	Spell		Hunter	4			Deal 4 damage to a minion. Discover a spell. Obviously it's marked for greatness.
Overwhelm	Rare	Spell		Hunter	1			Deal 2 damage to a minion. Deal one more damage for each Beast you control. Scholomance student Brewfest prank gone terribly, terribly awry.
Scrap Shot	Rare	Spell		Hunter	4			Deal 3 damage. Give a random Beast in your hand +3/+3. Make your foe's armor your fauna's fashion!
Explosive Shot	Rare	Spell		Hunter	5			Deal 5 damage to a minion and 2 damage to adjacent ones. Pull the pin, count to 5, then shoot. Then duck.

Lore

From Wowpedia:

Vereesa Windrunner is the Ranger-General of the Silver Covenant. An elven ranger who fought throughout the Second and Third Wars, she is the youngest sister of Alleria and Sylvanas, widow of Archmage Rhonin Redhair, and mother of Giramar and Galadin. After becoming a ranger, she met Rhonin in an escort mission and together they helped free the Dragon Queen Alexstrasza from the Dragonmaw clan. Nearly all of Vereesa's extended family were killed by orcs in the Second War and in Prince Arthas's invasion of Quel'Thalas.

When Rhonin became leader of the Kirin Tor, Vereesa created and still leads the Silver Covenant, a militant core of high elves that rejected the admission of blood elves into the Kirin Tor and who took it upon themselves to serve as a military deterrent for any potential Sunreaver uprising. She styled herself as the "Ranger General of the Silver Covenant", her own version of the Ranger General of Silvermoon. After her husband's death and an act of treason both caused by the blood elves within the Kirin Tor, Vereesa joined Jaina Proudmoore, who succeeded Rhonin, in the Sunreaver Purge of Dalaran.
