Veranus

Veranus is a legendary hunter minion card, from the Descent of Dragons set.

Strategy
At 6 cost, Veranus has premium aggressive stats, and offers an incredibly powerful upside; it essentially casts Hunter's Mark on all enemy minions. Although this is a strong effect for any class, it is especially good for hunter, which has multiple ways to deal 1 damage with other cards (Springpaw, Desert Spear, Dreadscale, Unleash the Hounds, Swarm of Locusts, Candleshot).

Veranus doesn't always have to be played against a board full of minions. Sometimes playing Veranus against a single minion - even a small or medium sized one - and killing it is a good play. Because of Veranus' high stats, getting her out on a clear board is worthwhile.
