Strategy
Snipe is fairly good in the early to mid-game due to its high damage, but it can be handled fairly easily by your opponent with a low-cost, low-health, minion card. For Hunter Unleash the Hounds combo decks, Snipe is a decent choice but it is often left out in favour of Freezing Trap.

Strategy
Snipe is one of the most useful early-mid game trap cards. Its low cost and high damage make it perfect for taking out dangerous minions who rely on building +attack/+hp buffs into the late game.
It is best played in the early-mid game due to the fact that it essentially allows your opponent to react to it so cannot be used with a follow-up for a guaranteed kill on one of their big minions (anything with more than 4 Health).
It can take some time to get used to the right time to use it and it can often be the target of a secret wipe such as Flare Flare Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Hunter Rarity: Rare Cost: 2 Abilities: Destroy, Draw cards Tags: Area of effect, Secret-related, Stealth-related All minions lose Stealth.

This means that all effects and death processing related to the minion`s Battlecry Battlecry is an ability where a particular effect activates when the card with the Battlecry is played directly from the hand. Although mostly limited to minions, some weapons also have Battlecries. Activation of Battlecries are resolve before the game queues and resolves Secrets such as Snipe. For instance, if you play a Twilight Drake into Snipe, it will gain Health from its Battlecry before Snipe triggers and deals 4 damage.
