Hey everyone!
So I just made it to rank 5 in wild with the most fun hunter deck I ever cooked and I wanted to give you guys a taste. The main goal of the deck is to build a board of eggs and get maximum value out of your deathrattles. The deck preys on weaker players and control heavy decks. Let me show you why.
The combos :
Umbra + Meat Wagon : This is crazy good seriously, umbra gives you an egg and opens it for you, 10/10 fine cuisine.
The MVPs:
- Baron Rivendare : The card was made for this deck. Getting two triggers out of your eggs or a spawn of N'Zoth is insane value.
- Loatheb : Heavily counters priests, mage and warlock AoE. The card gives your board the extra turn it needs to win most of the time.
- Deathstalker Rexxar : <3
- Spawn of N'Zoth : This card is such a sleeper imo. It shines in this deck when your board is full, you can use multiple deathrattle triggers such as play dead and get great value out of the card.
Mulligan :
For most matchups keep the following :
- Stitched tracker
- Quick shot (especially good for dealing with early game mana wyrm or nortshire cleric)
- Loot hoarder
- Meat Wagon (for slower matchups like priest, mage and warlock)
- Nerubian egg (for quicker matchups like aggro shaman, pirate warrior, etc.)
- Terrorscale stalker (for deathrattle activation, extra good if you curve it with nerubian egg)
Important things to know:
- The deck can be countered if the opponent starts opening your eggs. In my experience this happens so rarely, most people prefer to go face instead and the deck heavily punishes this.
- Be aware that buffing your eggs with glaivezooka or spawn of n'zoth might be punitive against priest due to potion of madness. You want to avoid playing glaivezooka on a nerubian or devilsaur egg in the early game against priest .
Hey im kinda stuck at rank 6 right now which has been my cap for a while. I wanted to ask what you thought of running 2 tracking in the deck. just because of essential cards. Also could you please give advice or link a video for playing this deck. deciding when to use feign death or drop humbra are important decisions and i wanna make sure im not fucking it up.
I don't especially like tracking but I know it's a good card and I think it would indeed fit well. Someone suggested replacing the sunfury protectors for dire wolf alpha, which I thought was a pretty neat idea, especially if you're looking for a more aggressive build, which could win earlier. I suggest trying this out. You may as well replace Arfus with Sylvannas or Barnes (I had Arfus in there mostly for fun until he won me games and I realised he was pretty good in this deck).
I'll try to revamp the guide and list next week when I have the time.
Thank you, the issue i have w this deck is knowing when to go hard. also maybe this is a personal thing but almost if not all of my wins come from early to mid game. Once it gets to late game i never seem to have a chance.
any replacement for huhuran? i feel like she has a good synergy with a great body
I may be wrong but I don't think she is much necessary, she has a pretty "expensive" cost and the stats are not something insanely strong if you compare to terrorscale stalker.
if u need to remove 1 card to try out something different, i guess it has to be 1 of the sunfury defenders
this deck is great! lot of fun, nice combos, works on ladder! <3
mby replace 1 sunfury protector with dire wolf alpha, fallen sun cleric or shattered sund cleric?
i dont own feign of death and meat wagon, but i added 2 deadly shots, a corpse raiser and cairne bloodhoof.
or should i use different replacements?
but theres a real problem against aggro.. hmmm mby use 2 explosive traps?
demon/zoolock seems to be a problem... :(
Cool deck. I have everything except the Hunter Dk. Is it worth trying without the DK? I think Sylvanas would work nicely in this deck.
Definitely!
This deck might have good last season but this season it clearly doesn't work, it took me from rank 13 to 15 without a single win, I get outvalued every game and can do anything to help it.
Well I got to rank 3 with it after the nerf at 60% winrate. Are you struggling against aggro? This early in the season you're mostly playing against top players, maybe that doesn't help.
been playing this a bit, lots of fun! i'd been tinkering w/ an egg nozth hunter but this is cooler. definitely needs sylvanas, though - with 6 cards that trigger deathrattles, it's mandatory to include the best deathrattle in the game! turn 7 sylv + play dead wins games. i also teched in an explosive trap to deal w/ aggro, given that this deck normally doesn't have much to make trades w/ until turn 3/4. i cut a spawn of nzoth and rivendare for these two, and swapped a sunfury for another argus (maybe a mistake but i feel argus gives you so much more value here).
meat wagon is really fun and works well here (that umbra combo is bananas!) but i question having two - it's awfully slow and expensive for something with little immediate board impact, especially for a deck that's often playing a turn or two behind the opponent in the early game. i find they sit in my hand, or play them because i have nothing better to do. arfus, as well, is fun and works ok, especially if you can get two or three cards off of him, but is overcosted. maybe two fiery bats would be better in place of these?
Well the whole deck design is revolving around the eggs. Meat wagons are there specifically to get them out asap and thus thin your deck so that you draw better cards. I do agree that meat wagon is suboptimal in some cases but for the Umbra combo alone it is worth it. Same goes for spawn of n'zoth, I prefer to have two so that I can buff my eggs into threats. Sylvannas doesn't really contribute to the whole egg archetype, although I agree the card is fantastic with deathrattle activators. I just don't think it fits the list.
She can be a replacement for Arfus of course if you'd like but Arfus is great too, especially if he gives you anti-magic shell (which is gg in this deck), death and decay or death coil . The other "bad death knight cards" are great as well in this. Army of the dead won me some games by giving me a full board of creatures.
i hear you completely about keeping theme! but not having sylvanas feels like not running patches in a deck that wants to run several pirates already. it's just better with it! i do like arfus as well, and if he belongs in any list, it's one like this.
what do you feel about one drops? two acherus or fiery bats? acherus is nice w/ the eggs if drawn after t1, and meat wagon might feel like less of a tempo hit if there was a bit more board presence on t1/2/3? have you found the list can handle aggro well?
Umbra is the only card I don't have. Should it be viable? I'd lose the awesome combos, but do you drop her usually at T4 and hope she survives? All the other 4 drops seem to be better stand-alone plays anyway.
He's good in the late game too. For example, if you can play Umbra and follow him with a spawn of n'zoth to buff your board, it's pretty devastating. He's an important part of the deck as it is. I'd recommend Sylvannas for a replacement.
Oh my gosh man this deck is so freaking fun. So many lulz and actually above 50%. Thank you so much. Upvoted already.
No meat wagons deathstalker arfus or feign deaths, FeelsBadMan
Try out Sylvannas or Elise the trailblazer instead of arfus.
However, meat wagon and feign death are pretty much necessary
So nice and funny! Great deck man.
