The Mech Hunter deck is a very strong deck that revolves around a mid game to late game power spike that revolves around the deathrattles and magnetic abilities of many of the mechs. There is also the Late Game play that is revolved around Zul'Jin and the loads of value that you can get out of Unleash the Beast and the Nine Lives cards. The power of this deck is that if it doesn't lose control of the early game, then there would be a huge power spike that takes control of the game after turn like turn 6 when you can play your big deathrattle mechs and Unleash the Beast.
I Don't want to ask for upvotes but since I put a lot of work into my guides I want to make sure people are interested in the deck before I put hours into a guide.

Ok, so I know that this is like 2 days late but I am busy with schoolwork so bear with me XD. I am going to go over basic keeps that you want every time with this deck and be specific with matchups as well after a general guide.
General Keeps into Pretty Much Everything:
Mecharoo [/card]is a solid card to keep early due to the fact it is a 1 drop and if it survives (or at least its deathrattle survives) it can be a Magnetic target because sometimes a 1/1 will be ignored. Some people who played this deck said that the deathrattle made the [card]Nine Lives play weaker, which is fairly accurate, and people ran Springpaw [/card]instead which was another good early game option and if you were to make the replacement it would be a good keep as well (with the rush being nice to deal with early threats especially. [card]Missile Launcher is another potential replacement if you want an even more control heavy deck with less emphasis on the early game but personally I think it is a LITTLE too slow for me but still a decent replacement (don't keep it in your opening hand though XD)
Upgradeable Framebot is another solid keep. It will usually stick on the board for at least a turn or 2 and is a GREAT magnetic target that is very hard to deal with (unless it gets sapped by rogue but that will be in the matchups guide). It is also just your most solid 2 drop in general that can deal with small tokens in aggro decks and can be buffed into control.
Ursatron is in my opinion the best early card in the deck, idk why but I absolutely LOVE this card because it has decent stats and provides draw and can be pumped if it stays alive for a turn or 2. Solid 3 drop with draw potential makes it your best turn 3 play and honestly I would keep it even if you don't have a 1 or 2 play because this is a slower deck in general anyway (although having at least a 1 drop or a 2 drop is nice too so if you want to mulligan for one into an aggro matchup to not lose control of the board that is fine).
Spiderbomb is good into some aggro matchups and can combo well with Houndmaster Shaw (which you don't want to keep but can be good to draw into) and Fireworks Tech (also don't keep). It is just a way to deal with some of the early threats that are generated by decks like tempo rogue, murloc shaman, token druid, and even beast hunter. It isn't a high priority keep, but if you are going into an aggro matchup and you find yourself having it in your hand, you can keep it.
Acidic Swamp Ooze is VERY good into Rogue, Warrior, and usually Paladin, so if you keep it to deal with a turn 4 weapon play from any of these classes (or earlier if the paladin runs the Mysterious Blade in secret pally) that is always a good play with a lot of extra value.
Venomizer and Replicating Menace are also both fine to keep but not super high priority this one is just up to personal preference and if you think you will need a magnetic upgrade to deal with an early minion (like against rogue or murloc shaman again).

I dont have Necromechanic so i replaced for Animal Companion, pretty good so far
Yeah, Necromechanic is a weird kinda niche card if you don't want to make it that is totally fine and whatever you are finding success with.
Isn't this almost exactly like the deck recipe?
I mean kinda but still a little different and that doesn't change the fact that it is a good deck that I am going to make a guide for so you can understand it better and that is a little different from the recipe deck. Maybe Blizzard is kinda actually good at making decks XD
I was not too confident in this deck. But it's giving unexpected (good) results ... and it's also a good change vs "usual" deck. Opponents are always quite puzzled, expecting a bomb Hunter ... nice deck :)
Yeah, people definitely expect the more aggro decks and that is good for you cause it affects their mulligans and their early strategies.
I have to say that I'am impressed with this deck, Shaw is such OP if you can stick it. Played against 2 token druids and it was EZ PZ.
Didn't have the big epic nechro something and put it a skaterbot for a rush venomizer just in case. The safeguard looks pretty solid and helped me to get a win against a token druid with a full board and savager roar. Using it with fireworks tech it's just crazy.
All in all, very good job, sir!
Thank you very much my good sir I appreciate the support.
this deck is so bad
Auto Lose against Shaman/Token/Zoo, every other game takes around 10-20min, not worth it on EU
I feel the same about this deck on EU.
I have tried to make this work, I did cut Mecharoo because it messed up Nine Lives and I felt that Mecharoo simply isn't that strong of a card to counter early aggression.
If found Springpaw much more effective with the rush build in.
For now I find good results with Mossy Bomb hunter. Because the bombs either stick around for magnetizing or your opponent just takes too much damage from removing them.
True I don't play at really high levels (current rank 9) because I see many players net-decking but not really understanding the deck or mechanics. Funniest thing is that they forget what Deathrattles are magnified on a bomb, so they kill off their own rush minion by destroying a Spider Bomb-ed Bomb.
I agree with your mecharoo tech honestly and I will actually put that in my guide and maybe change my deck that I am playing and see how it feels cause the occasional low rolls on nine lives can be upsetting, but since it is discover I rarely got hurt by it. Mossy Bomb Hunter is good I actually made this deck and hit legend early after the expansion before that deck started getting played and I think it has potential but I personally like this slower version cause it is better into Warrior.
What would the best replacement for Houndmaster Shaw be?
It wouldn't fill the same role but the 6 mana 4/4 missile launcher is really good in this deck and if you take out shaw you can throw him in if you want.
It's a core card, there is no replacement.
I'm playing a version without him, but it's not mono mechs. it's more of a beast/mech hybrid death rattle deck. I would however even have him in my version if I had the card.
In this particular version he is much more important I would imagine as you don't have the rush minions to fill a similar roll. Shaw is one of the best cards right now for aggressive and mid range hunter decks. he's only not good in masters call decks as it has anti synergy.
I can send you my version if you like in case you want to build something without him for now. My version should ideally have Shaw in it as well though, and also Da Undertakah is another card I want to add, but don't have yet.
