Alleycat

Alleycat is a common hunter minion card, from the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan set.

Strategy
Summoning two 1/1 minions on turn 1 makes for a good start in an aggressive Hunter deck. Since both summoned minions are Beasts, this opening also enables various synergies.

The low Health of the summoned minions makes this vulnerable to AoE effects, but most classes do not have access to those spells in the early game; by the time they can clear the board they will already be struggling for survival.

Alleycat is strictly worse than Wolpertinger, as Wolpertinger is identical but can pass in-hand buffs onto its summoned copy. However, decks that don't use buffs can simply run either.
