Hey everyone,
This is the 3rd season I've reached Legend rank with hunter now. After a few days of playing I was at Rank 3 when the Unleash the Hounds nerf hit. I decided to..
-1 Flare
+1 Freezing Trap
With the ladder full of miracle rogue, shaman, and handlock, hunter is not only viable, but in my opinion, still the best deck to use on ladder.
My win rate was 67.4% from Rank 3 to Legend after the nerf hit.
The unleash the hounds nerf barely does anything to the deck in the current meta. There was never a situation where I needed Unleash to be 2 mana to win. You barely use Unleash against miracle, shaman is auto win, and handlock is just an excellent matchup all around. Most people said the zoo matchup would be more difficult with Unleash at 3, and while that may be somewhat true, that whole matchup is more dependent upon Explosive Trap rather than Unleash.

Any questions, feel free to ask!
P.S. Animal Companion is garbage
Garbage, 25% win rate.
no way
i play this deck all the time and minimum is 50%
play it correctly and the 60%-70% is for sure
i went from rank 13 to 7 in one sitting with it
DLumiya, thanks a helluva lot for the deck, brother. I slugged it through a massive amount of games but just hit legend on the last day of the season. Druids (and the sheer amount of them) really hurt in the top ranks, but it worked out in the end. Great deck, buddy. Cheers!
(I also subbed one Wolf for a Boar for quick taunt removal.)
Really Luv this deck, i was stuck at rank 16 im 14 in just a few matchs, let`s see how far can i go whith it!
Edit: I´ve defeated like 2 or 3 priests, it´s not the best match up that´s correct,
i think it all comes to luck with this Fcking annoying guys xD.
THANKS A LOT Mate!!!
Zoolock is facerolling this deck.
Great deck, tried it out a couple of weeks ago and managed to hit Rank 5 on ladder without much effort. :D
Lately though, I've been getting shut down hard by Druid and Zoo decks with Sunfury Protector. What adjustments would you recommend? I'm thinking about putting in a second Ironbeak or Freezing Trap, but I'm curious if you've already found a better solution.
Thanks!
If you're running into a lot of taunts I'd definitely recommend the 2nd Ironbeak. You could also consider a Deadly Shot but it's not a card i'm too fond of on ladder. I have only played 5 games so far this season with hunter and went 4-1.. the ladder is full of druid right now however the majority tends to be token/old school watcher. Against Zoo you just have to mulligan extremely hard for explosive/uth/buzzard.
He can't really be replaced, but in the meantime I'd recommend adding a 2nd Ironbeak Owl, Freezing Trap, or potentially Animal Companions.
I have a king Krush black knight and a king mukla i could slot in recommend any? if so tell me what to swap out thanks for the deck
This deck would not benefit from any of them.
Thank you for this deck. I am reasonably new to the game, switched from hunter midrange to this deck a few days ago. Gained 3 ranks and feel like i will gain more as I get used to it.
A few questions and comments if you're still checking this thread:
I swapped one tracking for a second flare. I'm seeing a lot of this deck at rank 7-8 and it helps in the mirror. I also swapped the freezing trap for snipe. It helps against rogue especially. Opinion?
I wreck rogue, warlock, priest and shaman, but I am having a really hard time with warrior and Druid, do you have any specific matches of yours you suggest I watch?
Why that hate for animal companion? Seems a cheap fit.
It is often surprising how quickly I find they are at lethal, I'm often thinking i have nothing left, then count lethal and it is there. Thanks again.
Definitely play that 2nd Flare if you are seeing a lot of hunter/mage on the ladder! The freezing trap was one of the "play" cards and if you find yourself seeing a lot of miracle rogue then Snipe is a viable alternative. Druid and warrior represent your worst matchups.. If you head to the highlights page of my twitch I would recommend watching any warrior or druid matchup.. I'll see if I can't get a good one tonight when I start playing again!
Sucks.
http://i60.tinypic.com/n3n4zn.png i hit rank 4 tnx for help dude no one knows how to play vs this deck its awsome and need a little luck :D
glad i could help!
i keep getting my ass whooped against anything with taunt.
If you run into that many taunts then play a 2nd ironbeak and make sure to save your hunter's marks for the proper taunts.
will do, i need to get better playing this deck thank for the reply
anytime!
i just dropped from rank 11 to rank 14 trying this deck idk what im doing wrong i rush their hero im close to to kill them but ass soon i get anything with taunt after i used all my anti taunt abilities i lose im getting so frustrated. i have pwn really hard with this deck but wow i lost so many games in a row that i should be doing something else.
I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with this deck is probably me but i have no fucking clue of what to do.
