Vereesa Windrunner

Vereesa Windrunner is a legendary hunter minion card, from the Rise of Shadows set.

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.
