Call Pet

Call Pet is a rare hunter spell card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set.

Strategy
A good pick for Beast-heavy decks, where there is a good chance that the next card will be a Beast. As this spell costs 2 mana, if a Beast is drawn the result will be 2 mana saved on the cost of playing both cards. If the drawn card is not a Beast, it is comparable to Loot Hoarder, Novice Engineer or Bloodmage Thalnos, which are decent cards in cycle-heavy decks. However, it can also be useful for spell synergy.

Over two turns, this card can allow expensive Beasts to be played early in the game. For example playing this on turn 2 could allow the player to play a Core Hound or Savannah Highmane on turn 3. Combined with The Coin it could allow a Savannah Highmane on turn 2, or a King Krush on turn 4.

Starving Buzzard can also combine with Call Pet. Call Pet will lower the cost of a Beast allowing a Hunter to play a Starving Buzzard and immediately follow it with a cheap or possibly free Beast card to benefit from the card draw effect.

Lore
is the basic  summoning ability in World of Warcraft. It can be used to summon or dismiss any of the hunter's current pets, either to swap pets, or to replace a pet that has died or run out of range.

Trivia

 * The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Reign of Fire" series, for the card Dakota.
