Hello guys its me again, lknightl, maybe u know me from lKNIGHTl r3 Legend Facehunter
First I have to say thanks for the great response to my last deck, I hope you enjoy the new one too.
In the last two weeks the meta, special in rank 5+ changed, there are more druids and controll wariors, but less zoolocks, because of that its better to play midrange hunter. Thats why I share this deck with you.
First of all before you start wondering why there is snipe trap in the deck: TRAPS SHOULDNT BE EXPECTED. A funny fact its the only way ( in the combination with Azure Drake) to kill [card]Emperor Thaurissan [/card] before his buff.
Its also fine against so many other cards like Azure Drakes, armorsmiths, knife juggers. Its also very helpfull against big drops because its easier to trade ( nothing is better to kill Dr boom with snipe and quick shot). But i have to say you need a bit of experience to play the snipe trap correctly in good spots. And overall its the best way to buff our eaglehornbow, because there is no way to play around this trap without kezan mystic. There is no Dr. Boom because we dont want a big game hunter Target.
I will make some gameplay videos next week, my headset is broken, sorry about that I have to wait for my new one, because of shipping.
Mulligan Guide
generaly without coin:
webspinner, haunted creeper, absusive sergeant ( yes we play him turn one nearly everytime, if we have no webspinner), mad scientist.
generaly with coin:
webspinner, haunted creeper, eaglehornbow (if you have the bow already we can keep the snipe trap), mad scientist
class specific mulligan will follow in the videos.
if you have some questions, about the deck, feel free to comment or PM me.
If you like the deck please thumbs up. I hope you enjoy the deck.
Here my stats on legend rank with it:
beetween the versions i just change some cards, but final version is the best ;)
Deck overview from The chiv, thanks for that :)
Snipe+Azure Drake in Sylvanas Windrunner, not in Emperor :D
It's a fun deck, but like every other midrange hunter deck I've tried it's an autoloss vs tempo mage. Considering tempo mage is the most popular deck in the meta right now that's a big problem.
I want this deck to be good so bad but unfortunately it just isn't. At least not at higher ranks. Sadness :(
The snipe is a waste of 2 cards, don't bother with it. The chance it actually helps out is very rare indeed.
Outside of that, pretty standard stuff.
snipe actually helped me a bunch of times. very funny to disrupt a warrior's combo when you snipe his warsong commander or just get early board control by sniping the first thing your opponent plays like the mana wyrm or the northshire cleric.
Really liked how this didn't run Juggler and Unleash, both feel like such a crutch sometimes. Snipe seems very meta oriented, but it definitely throws them off.
da fuk ?
i've been playing this deck around 3-4 days for now i must admit it is pretty fun and pretty strong deck as @thechiv said "its thinking mens hunter". I dont have any count but %90 of the games i lost was either agro paladins or face hunters. I was wondering if we can add some AOE damage like explosive trap or maybe unleash the hounds i dont know but i couldn't find anything to take out seems like every single card is pretty strong on its own in this deck. i'd be glad we you have any. Thumbs up for guide and deck keep up good work :)
I really enjoy playing decks that are different to the meta, and I'm sick of seeing Face Hunters everywhere! I enjoyed playing this deck & I'm really hoping we start start seeing more interesting decks like this on ladder. I made a video to add to my ongoing deck spotlight series, I hope you like it!
I haven't yet started BRM (took a big break after naxxramas, so I spent my golds on gvg packs after returning). Can I replace quick shot with something like arcane shot/deadly shot for now?
Any replacement for mad scientist?
There is never a replacement for: Mad Scientist, The Black Knight(meta dependent), Sylvanas Windrunner(meta dependent), Alexstrasza, Loatheb, ect. I know sometimes people are mean but I'm gonna be nice about this and explain. These cards fit too niche of a role to fill by any others. Scientist works almost like a fetch land in MTG not only giving you something you need but also thinning your library by one more card which is so much better than it sounds. If you want to play competitively nowadays you really need Naxxramas and Blackrock Mountain along with tech cards like BGH, MCT, TBK, ect. The closest thing to a replacement would be Loot Hoarder because of the same cost and drawing you a card. I hope I taught you something :)
Thanks a lot. some people just flat out down vote my question. this information helped me. :)
i be waiting the video :D
Sorry to say, but in my opinion there is no replace for Scientist, this card just has an unique power level on decks that use secrets
I'm currently 22/9 with the deck, only ranked matches. Pretty good deck.
bad deck is bad
Yeah I like the idea of snipe+azure drake to counter thaurissan but I think it's too niche of an application to justify running this list.
Plus I find his lack of unleash the hounds disturbing.
Im puzzled in this combo, given you cleared the board by turn 4 or 5, how will you put the Drake and snipe together. So lets say you put snipe on turn 4 and then some 2 minion or hero power will it be bad that by turn 5 he puts other minions on board that will be targeted by Snipe??. If ever the opponent has the coin he'd play thaurissan before you even put the drake. thats pretty awkward. Lets say you have mad scientist ?. I'doubt it will survive till turn 5 for the drake snipe combo.
I killed a belcher with mad scientist into drake, so yeah, mad scientist is how I did it.
