You there!
Psst kid, wanna enjoy some get-destroyed-by-playing-hunter fiesta but with a bit better winratio than any hunter deck so you won't get utterly destroyed while having Vietnam flashbacks? This deck finally works again, jesus christ. Rank 5 is achievable :3 Continue reading and maximize you actions per second by making this deck at the same time.
I'm very famous Luzkan. Designed one of the first Secret Hunters that later on became meta in the ladder and the deck was rated [Funny and Good boy / 10 ]. U can check it here.
But now let's quickly get back to the real shit we need.
I present you Aggro Buff Pirate Hunter!
Have fun with this fast buff deck that just tries to rekt your opponent asap.
I'm still developing something like Control Reno C'Thun Hunter, but this aggro deck got me to Rank 5 today. Enjoy
Sadly, one month after the update Pirates (all classes) redesigned their decks into Hunter Holocaust. It does just fine against else but if you want to play for ranks, there are much better (Pirates) aggro decks for aggro gameplay. Poor Hunty :(
I'm going to make a guide and things like this after 15 likes because i'm scummy beggar. But here is an asap version that everyone needs just now.
Because the deck got 20 likes I'm writing a general guide with the basics that will guarantee instant 3 ranks boost with one simple trick (!) - reading. Scientics hate me!
More detailed guide comes with 100 likes. That won't happen, so now i'm again happy poor lazy physics student and can comeback to my boredom of counting limits and stuff.
Kill Me.
My Gadgetzan Decks:
Tempo Buff | Mage Barnes Spell Mage | Aggro Buff
1. Mulligan:
Like always, in "zoo like" decks this one takes some time to consider as we can mulligan almost for any card and anyway it'll be just fine. But just fine in times of turn one
[1/3 weapon] + [1/1 pirate] + [1/1 pirate charge] + [coin] + [2/1 pirate charge]
might be just a little not enough.
God Hand:
(Smuggler's Crate + Trogg Beastrager + Rat Pack)
If you see that you are holding the God Hand (it's a little bit better than Poker Hand in 2mln$ tournament) then you should always keep it. Change it only if it's not your account and u want to do best prank 2016 on your friend.
Against Aggro:
(Cat / Bat / Your Mother / On the Hunt)
It makes sure you will be stronger against those filthyaggro retarded SMORc deck. Jesus I hate those aggro decks, so brainless, people should stop playing them. /s
Against Mid-Range:
Coinless:
(Cat / Bat) ---if you already have---> (Hyena / Wolf)
(Crate / Beastrager) ---if you already have---> (Rat)
Coin:
(Eaglehorn Bow) and same as the above
Hope I made this clear and understable. Also if you are playing against mage you can consider holding Quick Shot against Mage or Shaman to deal with the problem of Mana Wyrm or Tunnel Trogg. It's personal preference though.
Against Control:
(Use brain and just not garbage / Use brain and just not garbage)
Anybody saw control? I found two kids in the fog that probably didn't see the huge billboards with "Gadgetzan" and this deck just crushed them. Hopefully they were not severly damaged by the experience. :(
2. Replacements:
Yo, you were completly utter unlucky like always whenever you open packs? Don't you worry, 'cause imah 'bout to change your world!
➼ Alleycat -> Argent Squire or Abusive Sergeant
Losing: "Beast" tag synergy and Ability to get 2/1 and 2/1 by Wolf or Elekk buff
➼ Smuggler's Crate -> Argent Squire or Abusive Sergeant
The buff thing is the core of the deck dude. It's a common, get it or play my other deck where you can find more viable replacements. If u really want to SMorc then you can try these two though.
➼ Trogg Beastrager -> Eaglehorn Bow
Just get the second weapon, it can't go bad here
➼ Rat Pack -> You can't
Rat Pack gives too much synergy in the death with Scavenging Hyena and sticky-ness is profitable af.
➼ Shaky Zipgunner -> Houndmaster
Both buffs for two but Shaky does the job better, more flexible and for better cost and we want to be aggro, right?
➼ Dispatch Kodo -> You can't
Dispatch Kodo is just good and it's hard to replace so use your own imagination and think about smth that can work here. It's unique effect is just unique but here you are.
Just don't replace too much as this deck won't be this deck. Good luck boi.

Love your deck mate, got tired of pirate warrior and always loved hunter and beasts play, good job ;)
ever considered swapping Dire Wolf Alpha for Timber Wolf? It has better synergy with Unleash the Hounds,Alleycat,Rat Pack and cost only 1, can be buffed too so it wont be so fragile.
also this deck suffering card draw, like suffering hard. Your thoughts about Genzo, the Shark?
Eaglehorn Bow with out secrets its not that useful dont u think so?
also adding Tundra Rhino maybe?
If you don't like the weapon (which I really like though, it's always 6 dmg for 3 mana and having one in the deck won't give you a deadcard draw if somehow u get two of these in your hand.
If you feel like you need more draw u can swap in Cult Master that will for sure do a great work in the deck of small tokens and small minions. Genzo, the Shark seems like a good card though, because it have instant effect but sometimes I always stick with 1 card (Quick Shot) in hand or even Kill Command for more surprise dmg or waiting for next Beast Synergy and even Dispatch Kodo waiting for the finisher or for the buff.
Tundra Rhino is too slow card for this deck and also playing it w/o board is completly useless. We need to be fast.
Playing Dire Wolf Alpha is better than Timber Wolf if you place your cards on board correctly. There's no need for a swap like this (get2go rule is Rat Pack to after u play Unleash u can place buffy Wolf between them).
Leroooooyyyyyy, replacement?
Just craft it . Its a decent card
good deck 8-0 at rank 15 to 12. Thanks
How do I replace Kindly Grandmother? Can I just add 2 Huge Toads instead or what do you recommend? (I don't have that adventure for Kindly Grandmother)
I guess.
Your other choice might be Argent Squire. Kindly Grandmother for example can trade into 2/1 Southsea Deckhand and then provide a 3/2 Beast body and Huge Toad will just die against the 2/1 Pirate with a chance of killing 1 hp body if there is a body on the board. I think you now understand how much value you can lose with that swap sadly :(
On the other hand Argent Squire can do the job of stickyness and even improve the curve of the deck but unlike Huge Toad (even it's not the best target, but still - a target) can't be buffed by the Beast Buff cards and cannot trigger Beast Synergies with deck.
Make the swap but try to cover it up asap.
the deck cool but i notice using too many lvl 1 makes me go out of cards i replace 1 of each 1 for dommsayer or sometimes kodo, rihno
Might be my bad that I didn't include this one in the mulligan
Against Warrior I keep my Hyena if I get it and I seek for one drops and The Hounds. Usually Hyena from start is a 4/3 or 6/4 from turn 2 and they are forced to either lose their faceaggro game with unfavorable trade or get completly wrecked by a Hyena. If you are starting first (without coin) then you have ~20% chance of instant easy win situation against Pirate.
If you don't roll Hyena though then u need to clear the board and play your things and do the favorable trades. Playing any minion on curve (2 mana with coin on turn 1 as well) is going to make you favorable in the matchup. Basically having a one drop is already giving you huge impact to win the matchup but it's not really essential to win.
Go for face most of the time and only trade in obvious situations. Deal as much dmg as you can and then finish your opponent off with heropower and reach from spells and Dispatch Kodo.
Never concede. I had that mentality for few games but then miracle draw sponsored by Chin Chin the based god happened and I won games at the end of the day.
O shit boys! +19 is the number that force me to make a guide for this deck. Well, so i'll make it soon. Atm i'll focus on answering quick questions in the comment section.
Old Secret Hunter is at this moment unstable as the meta is shifting but here are few quick points for you:
I would need to playtest Secret Hunter on larger scale of games.
About replacements - Quick Shot is at this moment the best Hunter card so it's hard to replace a "draw + deal dmg" card. You need to find one or the other and usually there's no good replacements for that. I think best thing to get is to get the second weapon and second Huge Toad. Altough you can seek for insane Hyena-like value gain by playing Cult Master buremember the later u get in game the harder it will be to finish it against huge taunts sponsored by Druid or Dragon Priest. For Leeroy "TheBoyTaco" user gave some suggestions :)
Stranglethorn Tiger, Reckless Rocketeer, King Krush, Argent Commander, Spiked Hogrider; or a second Huge Toad, Eaglehorn Bow, or Unleash the Hounds. Hope this helps
Edit:added commas
This deck is by far the best of the hunter decks I have played so far. Tried 3 different ones and I like the early draw options, not having to worry about Savannah Highmane and Tundra Rhino which i find to be to slow against jade decks.
Dude, believe me, it's just about, just almost the legend! ^^
Any replacement for Huge Toad?
Eaglehorn Bow
Is that a Trinimmortal reference I see? hueh
The deck looks pretty solid! I don't have Rag yet though, so I'm not sure how my chances will be yet. Thanks for posting!
I'm preeeety sure I didn't include Ragnaros in this aggro deck altough the refrence you got is right ;)
