Why play owl now when you can play spellbreaker?

I'd still run Owl over Spellbreaker in any aggressive deck. The difference from 3 to 4 is huge especially when all I want is just to clear a taunt.

I disagree with comparing nerfed Mark with Execute. Mechanically they are similar, sure, but Warrior has an excess of ways of dealing that 1 damage efficiently that Hunter just lacks. Hunter can't just Taskmaster into Execute.

They can Hunter's Mark into On the Hunt :q
I just realized that card is a Beast Elven Archer. Why did I think that was good?

The biggest difference for me on Hunter's Mark and Execute is that Execute is a follow-up spell, while Hunter's Mark demands follow-up. Execute, by itself, is more likely to be valuable.
Warriors do also have an easier time dealing 1 damage, but it should be said that Hunters are more likely to have small minions to throw away, and a board presence in general.

Well being a beast is nice and being a spell means it combos with many cards also spell damage.

I just got a shiver of excitement knowing I never have to face Naxx cards again if I don't want to.

I always thought Elven Archer was just on the fringe of playability If it was a 2/1 or something. Maybe synergy with beasts and spell damage allows it to find a niche.

I had a Golden Leper Gnome and a Golden Arcane Golem just waiting.

4K Gold, 5K dust plus the pre-order of 50 packs just waiting till tomorrow. I feel like a wiggly pack with a legendary hiding inside it.

I had fun watching Kripp disenchant his massive piles of nerfed cards for a total of 48,890 dust.

I thought they stopped releasing things in different times when they uniformed the Tavern Brawls' starting time. Wouldn't it be easier to assume that the expansion hits at a time that is 27th for Europe but still 26th for America?

EDIT: I was wrong. At the time I'm writing this edit, the expansion is out in America but not in Europe.
