Rulings

From the The Hunted release notes

Mark of the Huntsman triggers when it hits a hero. You choose whether or not to destroy this weapon and mark the hero at the time the triggered layer resolves.
The optional effect generated from Mark of the Huntsman’s triggered effect uses “you may choose to” instead of just “you may”. In contrast to optional effects that just use “you may”, optional effects that use “you may choose to” can be generated without the requirement that the effects would resolve successfully.
You can mark a hero by flicking Mark of the Huntsman. It is destroyed by the “flicking” effect before its own trigger resolves, but you can still choose to mark the hero.
You can destroy the Mark of the Huntsman even if the hero is already marked. If the hero is marked from another effect before the trigger resolves, you can still choose to destroy the dagger.

Keyword notes

Mark - (You are marked until a hero hits you.)

Marked is a new state for a hero.
In The Hunted, there are effects that mark a hero. Some cards and their effects may depend on whether a hero is marked or not.
A hero is marked until they are hit. Once they are hit, the marked status is immediately removed and they are no longer marked. This is not a triggered effect or a game-state process.
Marking a marked hero does nothing.
If a marked hero becomes a different hero or reverts to their base hero (e.g. Arakni, Marionette; Shiyana), their marked condition persists after they become / revert their specified hero.
If a marked hero transforms into a different hero (e.g. Teklovossen, the Mechropotent; Levia, Redeemed), that hero is not marked.
