"A free Jormungar, Maexxna, and King Krush? Yes, please!"
Well Met! When TGT was first announced, there was a card that underwhelmed nearly everyone who laid eyes on it when it popped up in Firebat's exhibition deck... Ball of Spiders... When I saw this card I thought it was one of the best ideas ever! The perfect card for late-game hunter!
This deck is designed to slowly build up pressure over the course of the game while utilizing strong Beast synergies. Kill Command gives good removal and face damage, Ram Wrangler can be the ULTIMATE in value, and Ball of Spiders gives you plenty of gas to run for an entire match.
I've had multiple games where the Spiders produced 2 King Krushes, making the late-game a cake-walk.
Secrets also play a big part here, producing more Beasts for free in the form of Snakes and Bears. A great combo is Turn 2 Mad Scientist, Turn 3 Eaglehorn Bow, Turn 4 Houndmaster on whatever Beast secret has likely been proc'd by then.
Give it a try, and have fun! -Cyg
Update: Edited 9/28/15, some significant changes, primarily removing both Tundra Rhino and adding Flare to handle secret pally, freeze mage, and other hunters.
Versus Face Hunter
Versus Handlock (potentially a Malygos Lock?)
Versus Combo Druid (same game as top pic)
Absolutely loved the deck thanks for sharing!!! <3
How do you explain a solid Win Rate of 66% on ladder then ?
It's kind of a fun deck but not great. Ball of spiders is just a really bad spell and should at least have it's cost reduced by 1 to even make it a little playable. Turn 6 ball of spiders just destroys any momentum you might have had.
It's supposed to give you card advantage in the very late game and indeed it does this very effective imo.
If you haven't crushed your opponent during midgame anyway this the spell you need to survive late game. But for me 1x Spider Balls is enough. I only have one egg.
this deck is not working for me. Lost 3 in a row. Too card draw dependent
I agree.
Man I want to play this deck with Dreadscale so bad, but I had disenchanted it to make Dr. Boom. Man I wish I would have made Dr. Boom earlier instead of being a scrub.
i only miss Dreadscale, what to replace him with?
I use Stablemaster, but I guess Freezing Trap is just fine.
The OP mentioned eariler it was supposed to be the second pot for unleash the hound, but he opened it from a pack so he is using it
so he mentioned u can replace it with second UTH or loatheb
Oke thx for the reply's, guess UTH seems to be the best.
How is Stablemaster working out for you? I tried her and Bestial Wrath in this deck's proto form and couldn't get any value at all.
Not very well, I replaced both with Freezing Trap and Armored Warhorse and added one more Horse for the 2nd Spiderballs, because I never used both so far - even in long control matches against priest or CW. I guess Loatheb is pretty useful aswell, but for now I stick to the horses, because often they put so much pressure on my opponent as I win most jousts.
W/L 21:10 solid 66% on high ladder (15)
Working out very well. Thanks a lot for this deck, its very strong midgame and I really wonder how it crushes almost anything: Mech Mages, Dragon Priests and Secret Palas finally have a worthy opponent. So much stronger than new Midrange Palas or even the old MidRange Zoolock, which lacks Defense. Kudos!
I was just thinking that maybe one lock and load may be good in this deck for more cards and maybe more spider balls XD
I'm using Bestial Wrath + Stablemaster for 1xBear Trap & 1x Eaglehorn Bow, because I don't have 2nd Bow. I'm also using Armored Warhorse so I have more 4 Drop and its a good Beast for pressure aswell.
W/L 13:6 so far so good
Just curious, why no freezing traps?
It seems like a good potential card to be running in a control deck. Or do you find it doesnt do enough compared to Bear or Snake?
Freezing Traps do practically nothing against aggro, and as long as secret pally is popular, there's no need for it.
I understood that reference! You sir, just made my day!
You've got to have balls to play this deck...
i do like the name of the titel :D
Never play Hunter because i don't like him..but this deck is fun to play Thumbs up!
