Template:Springpaw strategy
Springpaws are very weak on their own, even among 1-mana minions. Dire Mole and
Goldshire Footman have more staying power, while
Acherus Veteran and
Timber Wolf are better on offense.
However, Springpaw's true purpose shines when supported by other cards. Toxmonger allows Springpaw and the generated Lynx to effectively remove 2 minions from the board immediately with Rush. Support from
Leokk give the player an efficient 4 damage for 2 mana. Springpaw and Lynx also serve as great fodder for
Scavenging Hyena, potentially giving a huge early-game lead if the hyena is on the board on turn 1-2. If the enemy has a minion, you can send your Springpaws/Lynxes in to die and effectively gain a 6/4 hyena by turns 2-3, potentially more if you draw 2 Springpaws. Combo with
Revenge of the Wild for a very large hyena. Finally, as 1-mana minions, they are effective at helping to complete the Hunter quest,
The Marsh Queen.
