The Return of the original face deck

-doing very well on the ladder at this moment, nothing could stop this beast yet;

- Very cheap and easy to craft, no legendary needed;

 

Main Strategy:

- Only do extreme valuable trades on turns 1-3, otherwise go face. This is VERY IMPORTANT most people try to keep the board control until turns 8-9, lose and complain "this deck isnt working" because they dont know how to play a FACE deck. Your minions dont have enough value to keep the board for too long, so you only use them to do maximum damage on the first turns so you can finish the game.

- Mulligan hard for Secretkeeper and Cloaked Huntress and at least 1 secret, my best opening was T1 secretkeeper T2 coin+cloaked+2 secrets;

- If you get 1-2 mana minions on opening hand you can keep them to start doing damage early, so a hand with Fiery Bat, Huge Toad and Knife Juggler is GOOD, don´t mulligan them out;

- Even if you get an empty hand after turn 5-6 there´s plenty of dmg to finish the game - 2 Kill Command 2 Quick Shot, 2 Eaglehorn Bow, a Call of the Wild and the op hero power;

 

CARDS BREAKDOWN (work in progress)

Abusive Sergeant only use turn 1 if you don´t have anything better to do, save for valuable trades early games, to remove annoying taunts or to do more damage to the FACEEEEEE;

Fiery Bat best drop 1 if you don´t have secrets in your hand. If you can hit twice face with him, your doing great in the game. Only trade t1-t2 if its a high value minion;

Secretkeeper One of the stars of this deck, not as dominant as it was on the secret pally, because you cant coin secretkeeper + secret turn 1, but its still very strong.

Dire Wolf Alpha i wish to have 2 of this card but could not find a place for it. Its a great card to combo with Snake Trap and Unleash the Hounds. You can use it to early value trades too. 

Huge Toad Best drop 2 without the coin, it can cause decent damage, trade with most early minions and its a beast to activate Kill Command.

Knife Juggler This card shines with Snake Trap, many games were decided to my side after a coin turn 2 huntress + snake and turn 3 Juggler. Against Zoo a Turn 5 juggler + unleash can turn the table too.

Quick Shot Besides an early remove to keep the board and get more damage going face, if you manage to use it turn 5+ when you probably gonna have an empty hand, it gonna give you a card too. Awesome!

Cloaked Huntress The real MVP of the deck, 3 mana 3/4 and you can drop all your secrets for 0 cost. This is a game chance minion, if you get it on your hand with coin mulligan everything else to try for secrets, a snake + freezing can give you the tempo needed to do enough damage and finish the game and a explosive can cripple the zoo board for example.

Eaglehorn Bow ITs already great in a regular hunter deck, with 5 secrets this weapon can turn into a killing machine. USe it wisely, you can remove key enemy minions early on, but always save it for face damage later and try to combo with at least 1 secret.

Unleash the Hounds great turn 5 combo with juggler and great against other aggro decks. If i start to face a lot of control decks i can swap one for another Horserider.

Kill Command one of the finishers of this deck, avoid wasting it for early removals unless its totally essencial and gonna give you board and a lot of potential face damage

Testing the new secret atm

 

CLASS TIPS (work in progress)

Warrior

This deck is doing very well against dragon warrior and cthun warrior, but it has a hard time against control. We need a strong opening to have a chance and a bit of luck to keep the damage on face even with Ravaging Ghoul and Bloodhoof Brave. Maybe adding a 2nd COTW could improve this match up.

Druid

Most of the druids in ladder now are token (yogg) and beast and besides a extreme powerful opening (like innervate+coin+fandral turn 1 or 2 innervates+coin+5/10 taunt turn 2) you shouldn't have any issued doing enough damage early game to finish him between turns 7 and 9.  Avoid using Secretkeeper Turn 1 because he can remove her easily with Living Roots or Wrath.

Rogue

Rogue is a favorable match up, I've faced nzoth and standard miracle and without heals and almost no taunts (nzoth sometimes has Defender of Argus) they are pretty much dead by turn 5-6. Watch out for that coin + Backstab + Preparation into a 10/10 Van cleef. Freezing Trap can be a life saver.

Paladin

Against a divine shield pally just play the standard match up of keeping the board for 2-3 turns then go face, because he does not have any healing (most of them don´t even use the 4/2 weapon) or taunt besides the 1/1 ooze from the murloc. The trouble starts when you face a nzoth or combo murloc paladin, because now they have 6-7 forms of healing (Lay on Hands, Forbidden Healing, light ragnaros, 4/2 weapon and the new horse that discover a spell and heal its cost). Against this archetypes you have to play really really aggressive and using everything that you can to try to score a kill before turn 7. Playing this way makes you get exposed to a Consecrate or even Wild Pyromancer + Equality but its the best way i found to score a kill before than can start healing like hell and get a Ragnaros or Tirion down.

 Shaman

Most of the shamans you going to face are still SMOrc so its a question about who´s gonna hit face harder. In this match up the board on the first three turns is very important, because it´s gonna dictate who´s is doing damage! After turn three, just watch out for his taunts and try to go full face and use your traps + weapons + cotw to finish the game.
