Hey guys!
Today I'll be featuring one of the most inexpensive, fun and best decks to play. I like to think of face hunter deck as one of those games that have a mark that says "3+". Basically, a 3 year-old can play it, but a 53 year-old will play it better. Let's go through few basic concepts on how this deck is played.
1) ALWAYS stay on curve, that's the most important thing of all. Use 1 drops to fill your mana on odd turns, don't just tempo all your board quickly.
2) Understand your matchup. This mostly goes against Warriors and Priests. You shouldn't go full retard whenever you can, the trick is to put as much damage as possible, constantly, USING HERO POWER. That's the most iportant thing, against control decks always use hero power more than your cards or you will run out of steam.
3) Arcane Golem - it gives your opponent mana. Think of when is the time to use it, on turn 7 you may change your oppoenents opinion on just slamming Dr. Boom. Don't use it too early against other aggro/tempo decks or they will outrun you.
4) Avoid heavy taunts by using your charge minions before their curve for Sludge Belchers and such cards. (Unless you have an Ironbeak Owl)
Now that we've learned that, lets go over some strategies and card choices.
Worgen Infiltrator if you have Eaglehorn Bow + Mad Scientist or Explosive Trap, it really good to save him for filling up mana with one of the cards, since your oppoent will have to go face when he's stealthed.
It's really good to spend your Ironbeak Owl on your oppoent's Annoy-o-Tron since it can usually make you spend alot of damage on him.
Don't rush with your Knife Juggler against classes like Mage or Warrior, since they have pretty easy clear for him. Instead keep him for a possibleUnleash the Hounds combo.
Play Abusive Sergeant on your 1st turn if you don't have anything else, maybe he'll get 4 damage in the opponent's face which is HUGE.
Card Choices
Hunter's Mark - the meta is quite midrange - control heavy, but for the most part it will usually be useless, if you go against too much ramp feel free to make some changes
Leeroy Jenkins - 6 damage + Unleash the Hounds, it is really good I'll admit, but getting this early in the game can be such a pain I'd rather just use smaller drops instead
Snake Trap - You can use this as the element of surprise, but I prefer Explosive Trap instead. It's really good except the fact that when your Mad Scientist dies, you really don't know what you'll get, which is why I've chose not to play it
I hope I've covered everything if I remember something else I'll update it later on. Also for all that are wondering why I spent so much time writting a guide for such a simple deck, it's because I've seen so many people spitting on the deck saying how noob the deck is, complaning about how they can't win and so on.

instead of a card can be added Leeroy Jenkins?
That is no where close to top 10 legend
any replacement for Mad Scientist? i dont have enough gold to get until the 4th wing of naxx
i did -1 Glaivezooka and +1 snake trap just because 2 scientists for two traps is a bit underperforming (in my case at least)
Been having alot of success with this deck, but control warriors just stomp on me really hard.
Face hunter is great except when you face off against another face hunter. 90% of games the person who goes first wins. kinda lame
What made you decide against creepers? They are pretty much a staple in any hunter deck, especially face.
any alternative for "Quick Shot × 2" ??i have naxx but not Blackrock
thx a lot +1 looking good. will try this build tonight :)
Sounds like someone who's getting farmed by facehunters in ladder lol. One of the best reasons of what makes decks like these "fun" is that we get reactions like these ^.^ I like it how you mention ramp druid and control warrior as "advanced decks" when really they are 2 of the most draw/RNG reliant decks in the game. Just look at the difference between a druid who draws turn 1 zombie chows, turn 2 wild growths, turn 3 shades, turn 4 keepers, topdecks swipe and one who doesn't. Or compare a warrior with a turn 2 win axe, turn 4 death's bite, whirlwind/execute/BGH topdecks and one without them. You draw the right cards, you win, you don't and you lose. Hardly advanced like you said, really the only thing advanced about such decks is their dust and $$ requirements.
Comments like yours are a testimony to what is probably the best deck archetype created in this game. There is no other deck in hearthstone that has stood the test of time, reaching legend every season consistently while requiring the least dust, generates as much salt from the opponent and also having very little reliance on draw/rng. A facehunter has a play on turn 1? That's normal, he only has 6 1 drops in his deck afterall. A facehunter seems to have the perfect curve? Well if his whole deck consists of 3 mana or less cards then it's not surprise he can use up his mana efficiently each turn. A facehunter topdecks that last bit of 2 damage on you? Well he could've easily topdecked glaivezooka, eaglehorn, quickshot, skill command, UTH, abusive, wolfrider, arcane golem or even huffer to do the same job. It would be more surprising when they don't top deck lethal than when they do.
Why this deck does not include haunted creeper?
I Play the same kind of deck with 2 minor differences, i put the creepers in and 1 arcoane golem+1glaivezooka out.
the reason is not the synergy with knife juggle but the synergy with kill command. i find 2 more triggers for KC more effictive and i feel im more able to play around taunts..
