Please remember to leave a +1 if you enjoed the deck. It's an easy and free way to say thank you. :D
(IF IT GET INTEREST I'LL WORK ON A DETAILED GUIDE for sure^^) I'm working to improve the guide.
Hello, I'm cavayere, a multiple times legend player that loves all what concern deckbuilding. When i hit legend I usually do it with my own/particular decks because I'm not interest of hitting top rank and IMHO it's funnier then tryhard with toptier decks.
I want to share my ''miracle'' version of secret hunter. I'm using it in the first days of the season and I admit I'm having a lot of fun and good results. In This deck you need to predict your opponent plays and not waste your secrets if it's not needed.
STATS: I Hit rank 5 today (10-06) so it's time to add some stats. The v1.14 version is this one that i start to play around rank 10. As you can see mage and shaman winrate rise higly.
.
GAMEPLAN:The gameplan it's like the others secrets hunter: control board and slowly burst your opponent. What differentiates this deck from any other hunter it's that I play Gadgetzan Auctioneer.The problem of secret hunter it's the lack of cardraw. Thanks to Cloaked Huntress and Barnes it's quite easy to do the miracle and play secrets while you refill your hand.This combo it's very useful expecially vs control decks and also in the late game against shaman.
MULLIGAN: Secretkeeper , Cloaked Huntress , King's Elekk always keep. I like to keep even Eaglehorn Bow. You can choose to keep Quick Shot to trade early 3 healt minion. Secrets to keep depends on your opponent class and if you go first or not.
SECRETS: Don't waste them! It's not a deck in wich you can afford to play random secrets on board. You need to predict your opponent plays and take the maximum value you can get from any of your secrets.
Cat Trick: good vs most of the decks. I usually keep it in any matchup except zoo.
Explosive Trap :Good vs all aggro as a board clear or even to set-up lethal.
Snake Trap :hard to playaround. Can be very useful to active Kill Command
Freezing Trap: good in any matchup to protect early drop or to ''Sap'' big minions.
Random secret: You can certainly swap any secret of this decklist if you don't own it or find another one more useful for you.
MATCHUP:
Bad (40%-45%): Face War,Zoo,Aggro freeze
Even(50%): Secret Hunter,Renolock,Yoggdruid
Good(55%-60%): Mid Shaman, Miracle\MalyRogue, Mid hunter,Tempo Mage, Beast Druid,Control shaman, Dragon Priest, Freeze Mage
Best(70+%): Control War,Murloc Paladin,Resurrect Priest
UPDATE: 5/10 I did a few changes after the update. With Call of the Wild nerf Gadgetzan Auctioneer works better in 1x. I've added The Curator to the decklist wich allow you to play a strong T8 like Savannah Highmane+Secret\HP and has also a great body.
CARD SUBSTITUTION:
I'm testing atm -1x Quick Shot +1x Kindly Grandmother
If you want you can share your opinion or ask something in comments I'll be happy to answer :D Ah! Sorry for my grammar mistake I'm not so good in english you can correct me if you want.
Hi I don't have Rag or snakes, any good replacements? Would appreciate if you write back soon,. Thanks!
Looks good, haven't been able to pull off the "miracle" combo yet. What's your reasoning for no grandmothers or houndmasters?
You need to not waste your secrets to be able to do it. I'll add some of my game replay\video in wich i used the combo to better explain it. I really like Grandmothers but i don't play it due to thecuratorthe but I'm testing if it can be good in 1x. I prefer more secrets intead of Houndmaster in this deck.
What rank are you ? Really nice deck
Thank you :D I'm rank 4 atm
This new version is drastically different from your first iteration which I have played with -1x cotw +1x snipe with quite some success. I will try your new version asap.
Hi, thanks for trying both. If worked for you even the oldest version this is quite better.
It is beatifull when Barnes pull of a [card]Ragnaros the Firelord[/card].
I played a similar version of this deck, but I will try yours... Thanks for sharing!
Edit: I'm in a 6 win streak with this deck, in rank 13. Avian Watcher does no fit in the deck?
Yeah Barnes it's probably the best card from Karazhan. :D
Avian Watcher it's so good in secret hunter but in this version as 5 mana drop I prefer Drake.
I'm facing a lot of aggros, so I'll try avian, and let you know!
Extremely fun to play. Swapped The Curator and Ragnaros the Firelord for Avian Watcher and works wonders.
Thanks man! I think Ragnaros the Firelord it's one of the core cards of the deck but if you are missing it and Avian works good for you it's great :D
You don't mulligan king ellek?
Yes I mulligan even for it I forgot to write it. Thanks for reporting man.
I've updated decklist and I'm playing only one CoTW now. Anyway thanks for comment glad it worked even for you.
I'll write the guide soon. I need a few days because english it's not my native language and I'm not so good at it. :D
Is Call of the Wild still viable?
IMHO it's too strong to not playing it in 2x but deck need a few card changes to allow it. (I've updated the decklist above)
Medivh, the Guardian has a bad synergie with Bow and barnes but can be great with CoW . I don't like to play it but if it works for you it's nice!
EDIT: I'm dealing with a lot of aggro decks and I'm almost changed my mind playing it in 1x now.
+1, interesting deck. Want to see the video of gameplay :)
Thanks for comment and +1 I've really appriciate that. If I have some spare I'll work on it. :D
