Strategy
Flanking Strike can be considered favourably comparable to 
Fire Plume Phoenix; dealing one extra damage, swapping the elemental type for beast, and counting as a spell rather than a minion. It's a decent value tempo card that can remove most 2 or 3 mana minions while also putting a 3/3 beast on the board. This spell works especially well in Spell Hunter decks, allowing for a decent minion while still letting Rhok'delar and To My Side! activate.
Lore
Flanking Strike is a level 12 ability for Survival hunters that causes the hunter and their pet to both instantaneously attack a target enemy. If the target is attacking the hunter, the pet will deal 50% increased damage and generate 400% increased threat. Otherwise, the hunter's attack will deal 50% increased damage.
