Call of the Wild

Call of the Wild is an epic hunter spell card, from the Whispers of the Old Gods set.

Summoned minions

One copy of each of the following minions is summoned when this spell is cast.

Lore

"To heed such a call is to forsake man-made weaponry in favor of a more feral response."

Based upon Animal Companion, this spell seems to represent the hunter calling upon all their faithful companions at once.

There was also a Hunter pet ability named Call of the Wild in World of Warcraft, as well as a Druid ability in the TCG, although in both cases its effect was very different. Its effect is reminiscent of another Hunter ability: Stampede.

Trivia

• For "a few minutes" during the card's development, Call of the Wild instead summoned 3 random companions. Mike Donais comments, "That didn't last long though", likely referring to the burst potential of multiple Huffers, or simply frustration with the unpredictability of the RNG.
