FAQ
Q: Why is this Hunter so good, why is this deck so special?
A: You must understand that the decks I post are competitive. Making a deck in a long untouched meta game is not easy, nor is succeeding with it. This deck is not special. It has a very new unique guide as well as a achievement.
Q: YOU DIDNT MAKE MIDRANGED HUNTER WHAT IS THIS PAGE OF LIES?!
A: I am not claiming to. I am not saying this is a Flood Original© (Kappa) because it is nowhere close. I was just showing people the power of Midranged Hunter right now along with a very good guide.
Q: Wut does I replace with Belcher m8¿
A; This is what is called a base/standard list. When you tech a deck you want to increase the win% for a match up while hindering other match up. The base list will be made to have the highest across the board win% which then can be tech'd for a specific meta. The answer is whatever cards are bad against the match up you want to increase. For example 2 houndmasters can be inconsistent VS aggro or midranged match ups.
Q: How do I replace Dr.Boom
A: Craft it Kappa. Belcher
Q: This deck is to slow, what can I do to combat the fast meta?
A: Try Hybrid Hunter. Hybrid hunter is a mix between face hunter and midrange hunter. It is a lot better for latter in my opinion as of now. Deck List

<3 Many thanks to virusworm for answering questions correctly and in great detail!
Thanks for this, climbed from Rank 13 to Rank 9 in a couple of hours, despite being matched against mostly aggro decks such as Face Hunter and Aggro Paladin. I decided to swap the 2x Freezing Trap and 1x Glaivezooka for 2x Explosive Trap and 1x Freezing Trap, due to the amount of aggro decks I encountered. Also, Glaivezooka didn't really help in any of my matches, which is why I chose to replace it.
With all the face decks flooding the ladder i found your hybrid decks to work very well. They are very competitive. I currently use the variant with freezing traps from your gyazo link.
fun deck, gj
just keep playing
You're not playing the deck remotely correctly. Mulligan aggressively for a good curve, play a strong early game with emphasis on tempo, make good trades but around turn 7 start going face, make sure your Freezing Traps off Mad Scientist get good value, and you shouldn't struggle at all to get to rank 5 at the very least. Midrange Hunter is an insanely powerful deck; it's insanely hard to tech against it outside of Kezan Mystic because it plays so aggressively but also has big threats that your opponent can't always just heal their way through.
I switched to this deck for my last few games to Legend after Zoolock stopped working for me. It took me a few tries to get the final win but eventually I lucked out. Proof:
Thanks for the deck as well as the detailed guide!
Im doing horribly against mech mage. Recommendations?
I am a Taiwanese
I play Asian server
I really think your deck is great
Thank you specially Message ^^
Always keep Unleash the Hounds against paladin.
I actually really like the way you've layed out your guide. Make it look a lot more professional and clean for people to read. Beyond that you have a great set up here for mid range, and i'd love to play this once i get my naxxramas unlocked.
How you guys play this against Handlock ?
Seems to be fine I have this list that I used in rank 5-1 a bit before I hit legend on NA
What can i swap for Kezan in this list? Im facing tons of mages and hunters and i would like to see Kezan on my deck.
houndmaster
I was sceptical abou freezing trap at first (I used flame and snake), due to me winning so many games vs hunter where I freezed my own healbot to heal out of killrange.
However! This deck fits perfectly with freeze trap as it gives you enough time and momentum to pull of the wins.
Great deck!
Any card I could swap out for a snake trap? Most expect freezing or explosive and it can rlly mess up their round.
Just swap out one of the Freezing Traps for a Snake Trap - that's what I do. I almost always use Snake Trap. I find it's useful for multiple purposes - there's the Knife Juggler synergy, of course, but in a Hybrid Hunter that runs 2x Houndmaster I also find it's useful just because it puts more beasts on the board, and the more beasts you have in play the safer/better off you are.
This is the first time I've really played hunter, as I generally prefer slow control classes, and so far I'm really enjoying this deck. My favorite thing that's happened has been getting Angry Chicken out of Webspinner, then using Houndmaster on it and going for face after its attack was buffed from damage.
I've been using this in my Hunter slot for the last few weeks, and I really like the addition of Glaivezooka. Once people identify you're playing midrange (usually from Webspinner t1) they don't expect the boost or turn 2 weapon, and this surprise factor can allow you to immediately assume control of the board.
