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.

I already gave my thoughts on Smuggler's Crate earlier but just wanted to add that another reason this card sucks is because when you finally play a minion buffed by this card, you're really playing 2 cards and it will usually just get answered by frost bolt, forgotten torch, pain or death or any other number of single minion removal spells. So you're trading 2 cards for 1, that's not a good way to try and win a match. So single target situational spell buffs suck especially since you can't choose where the buff goes. Minions that buff other minions such as Trogg Beastrager are much better since you actually get a good body on board.
I've played a substantial amount of hunter throughout hearthstone, and this meta has been troublesome. Gave this deck a shot to see if it could push even rank 5, the simple answer is yes, if you face people with bad draw and you get fantastic draw. It seems to be too slow to out pace reno decks, not fast enough to keep up with aggro decks, and just flat out crushed by any aoe spell. Still is neither the time nor the place for hunter.
I think you're just a bad player,or your plays are bad.
If your hearthstone skill level is anywhere as poor as your grammar I could believe it!
Yeaaaah .. no.
It actually sucks way too hard against sham or reno decks, and legend ranks are full of it.
Smuggler's Crate is an awful card. I've experimented with it for a bit in midrange decks and it just sucks. Sometimes you have it on turn 1 but don't have a beast to buff. Other times you're in topdeck mode by turn 6 or so and you topdeck it. Imagine topdecking it back to back. Inclusion of it in face hunter deck makes even less sense since you're running Animal Companion instead of an actual beast. It's trash and doesn't belong in any hunter deck.
i agree what should we change it with?
really? I even replaced dart trap for an extra rat pack because its the only car i am missing
I love this deck and I am a returning player that is just decent at face until i re learn the card compositions. I am having problems with two 1) things:
1) I dont have any large clear cards here and am struggling against a full enemy board. If i do trade then my board is empty and normally my hand too.
2) Heavy taunt decks or really any deck that has big taunt minions.
Thanks all. My first post so be nice to me or ill be sad.
Random dude, I'm in a similar situation (although I prefer midrange).
Here's my two cents :
1/ don't trade ? Race as much as possible ? In midrange I'd understand some amount of trading, but face is face
Another possibility I've seen on some decks which I'm not sure about is Infest. If you easily have a full board but then run out of cards then infest is kind of a WTFRNG solution.
2/ run one or maybe two hunter's mark. Deadly shot feels awkward in a lot of situation, but since you have a lot of small minions, the ping should be easy to achieve.
Can i replace quick shot?
I just have 1 rat pack, so double the bow?
Hunter decks get absolutly destroyed by all other decks. Sure you can win a game here and there but in this meta is no place for hunter, pirat warrior is much faster, midrange gets destroyed by jade decks and control hunter will never be a thing. RIP hunter.
can a toad or a jeweled scarab replace the kindly grandmothers?
Like most hunter decks ... this deck is not fast enough against reno decks and not defensive enough against aggro. There is no room for a middle range deck like this right now. Sadly.
What about Mukla's Champion? If you have buffed Rat Pack open and lot of rats on your field and will play Champion + Hero Power on level 7 (or level 6 with coin) - rats damage will be much much better:).
The deck is very good but you cant win vs dragon priest :/
What about Knuckles in this deck ?
If your opponent tries to clear with more than two minions then it's leeroy-like that activates on your opponent turn. But I think no one would clear that minion like this. Have potential, especially when buffed but I think it'll face a removal. That card would need some testing. Also remember that adding 5 mana drop is always a little bigger chance for having a "dead draw" before turn 4 and mulligan phase.
Deck is bad like hunter in global in this fucking season , dont have a chanse vs any deck who can clear a little bit , or have any remove for big minion like hiena can be .. hunter is priest(in karazan) right now
