Hello guys!
Bragi here, I'm a german Hearthstone Player hitting legend every season. I want to share my Hunter with you. I played it exclusively since Rank 5 this season (October 2017). For me it is extremely fun and to be honest it is a little bit of a special snowflake deck. I peaked at Legend#11 yesterday, A mate recorded the climb, the Video will be below in the next few days. Shout out to AbarHS for creating the original Version in the Karazhan Meta.

I did not track my games from rank 5 because I mainly played on mobile devices.Stats on Legend Ladder will come when the sample size is big enough. First i played 1 Call of the Wild instead of the Flare i run now
General Gameplan:
This Deck has 3 basic Winning strategies:
- Drop Barnes on Turn 4 or Turn 3 with coin, then hit face with Ysharji and clear the board with your removal spells if you have to.
- Play The Rexxar DK and outvalue your opponent.
- Play Eaglehorn Bow and charge it up.
Mulligan Guide:
As you would expect, Barnes is something you want to see really badly. As such, you mulligan your cards pretty aggressive if you don’t have him (+Tracking). Below are the other cards you want to have in these matchups:
You can keep 1 Eaglehorn Bow in each Matchup.
Druid: Always Keep the DK, Cat Trick, Companion, maybe Explosive, especially if you know it is Aggro
Priest: Always Keep the DK, Cat Trick, Companion
Warrior: Might be Fatique, but Keep Rexxar, Explosive, Eaglehorn Bow
Hunter: Keep Explosive, Eaglehorn Bow, Companion
Rogue: Keep Explosive, Eaglehorn Bow
Shaman: Keep Explosive, Eaglehorn Bow, Companion
Warlock: Vs Control Keep Cat trick, Companion; vs Zoo Keep Explosive; always Keep the Eaglehorn Bow.
Paladin: Keep Explosive, Eaglehorn Bow, Companion
Mage: Keep Cat Trick, Eaglehorn Bow, Companion
Matchup Guide:
Ordered after the popularity of the most important matchups on Legend Rank. I hope that this section makes it a little bit clearer how to play this deck and gives insight into what i can deal easily and what i struggle with.
Razakus Priest: 60/40. Sometimes your Barnes Combo goes through, but your main winning condition is a early Rexxar. Try to get 4 attack Minions, and when anduin is out go for a stealthed big beast like a hydra. If Priest has nuts draw (early Raza into Anduin into Velen Mindblast) you can win if he has no Death for your Barnes Combo. Wins from Rexxar can happen, but don’t rely on it.
Jade Druid: 30/70. If you get Barnes you win 100% oft he time (PLEASE play around Mind control tech). So mulligan for Tracking and Barnes really hard. If you don’t get Barnes you will lose, if you dont go face fast enough. This strategy gets shutdown by the Druid Hero tho. So all in all, this ist he deck’s worst matchup and it’s quite frustrating (i guess for both players).
Tempo Rogue: 70/30. This is a fairly good matchup. They Key to this matchup are (in case you don’t have Barnes) Explosive Trap and Eaglehorn Bow. Play passively in the first turns, play eaglehorn on 3, maybe trade a captain, and play explosive on 4). Their late game minions are weak to freezing and misdirection. You will need some experience how to lay down the traps tho. For example sometimes i lay down a explosive first in situations where i think its likely he tries to trigger a freezing trap – so sometimes its mindgames.
Aggro Druid: 40/60. A little bit better than Jade Druid. If you counter their living mana most of the time you can win. Dont have to say much about it, just play smart with your resources.
Quest Mage: 80/20. Cat trick and eaglehorn bow are mvp. And ofc Flare. I have absolutely no trouble in this matchup, try to play around removal smart and burn the opponent.
Zoolock 50/50. Can be a tricky matchup, especially if they have Keleseth. Try to control their early board and outvalue them finally with rexxar. If they are in topdeck mode, play freezing and misdirection.
Evolve Shaman 60/40. EXPLSOSIVE! Their early board is useless vs you because oft hat card. Unless they have their DK ofc. So play passive early game, try to keep your Eaglehorn at 2 Durability because of he pirate. Often i win vs Shaman by grinding them with my heropower in the end.
Control Lock 80/20. They have no counter for early barnes, and Rexxar outvalues their deathknight by far. Freeze their mid game minions, deadly shot – hunters mark their late game ones.
Midrange Hunter 50/50. When you dont have Barnes you win by going Face with Eaglehorn Bow and control with secrets.
Murloc Paladin 50/50 If you have Eaglehorn for their early stuff, you win most of the time. If not good luck stabilizing early enough.
Fatique Warrior 80/20. The ãpprox. 10 games i played against this deck rexxar rekt the enemy.
I hope i can help you with these insights. Please let me know how the deck performed for you and what problems you have with it.
11-4 and waiting for my luck (i guess) to run out?
Draw Y'Shaarj before you can play Barnes = lose
Get Y'Shaarj from Tracking = lose
I really want to like this deck because I like playing secret hunter, but I am getting crushed in games when the combo doesn't work, which is often.
What about adding Professor Putricide? Took out 1 missdirection for him to test it.
You just made Barnes a worse 50/50 card...
Too many auto-lose conditions
This was pure fun.
1st game: Mage
Draw Y'shaarj, but win before i can play him.
2nd game: Mage
I get Barnes turn 4, play him, get my Y'shaarj, gets immediatly polymorphed into a sheep.
Win due to minions on board and the flare removing 2 secrets.
3rd game: Priest
I remove a minion with my weapon, play some secrets, get my Barnes from Tracking at turn 6 and play him.
Opponent seemed to be thinking a while, then conceded.
And i only needed the deck for a play 30 hunter cards quest which i wanted to play using my DK, but i haven't seen my DK during any of those games :D
Getting the Barnes to pull Y'shaarj is great and the DK is pure fun if you get there to.
Thanks for the great deck, i'm gonna have some more fun with it later on for sure.
You still lose to anduin though, the most fair and balanced of all the cards. The main problem I have is the other control decks still out value you. Control warlock and highlander priest just have so much removal so if you don't draw barnes and get some hits off then you get really stuck relying just on rexxar. You tend to run out of hp. I have been trying to go for lifesteal minions earlier now so I don't die but it's tough. This deck is very good in the mid or late game vs decks that need to hit face to kill you but vs guldan and anduin, where they don't even have to play minions, it's really tough since you don't get the charges back on your weapons either since they never play into freezing trap or misdirection.
Soooo Fun. Ty the deck <3 :DD
So far, having fun! (and isn't that the point, really?)
I don't have Y'Shaarj so I substituted Deathwing which is a 12/12... theoretically better than 10/10? (what am I missing here?)
I'm 0-2 (which is not much of a sample size, I know) but on the first match, I drew Deathwing (bummer)... and STILL won! See what fun I'm having? :)
2nd match, I tracked into Deathwing, fought the good fight, but lost. However, I took the quest Warrior DEEP into end game... this deck is really powerful, and seems to be quite flexible. Have not seen Barnes yet.
Going to keep trying and report back once I have more data to share... but like I said, it's a fun deck (which is rare these days, sadly... with all the super-jacked-up-legendary-net-decks).
deathwing is a 1/1 from barnes...... Y´Shaarj is a 10/10 lol you totally missed the point of the deck
DOH! No wonder I haven't been winning!
LOLOLOL!!! I realize now that Deathwing does not pull himself.
Ok, dusted Anomalus to get Y'Shaarj.
One the one games that I actually got the Barnes combo to work, I won.
Two other games, I did not get the combo to work, but still won. Lost another one w/o combo.
Will keep at it.

Ok, been playing this deck for a few days now, and YES it is super fun, but AARRGGHH it can be super-frustrating.
You have a 50/50 chance of Y'Shaarj coming before Barnes, which automatically puts a damper on the biggest win condition.
The deck certain can survive without this condition, but ending up with a 10-cost minion in your hand early that you can't use it taking up a valuable spot in your hand. I cannot rank up past 12 with this.
Again, though... super fun. When you get Barnes on turn 4 (or 3), it's an auto-win. :)

Soulcrushing great deck ! 5-0 =100% winrate )
Best r20 farm deck EU!
I mean, drew Yshaarj in or right after your mulligan? Well just concede - you probably wanted to anyway, lul.
This is pretty fun.. Played 7 matches at rank 5 and went 5-2 against all tier 1 decks and a Warlock.. lol Will continue to push with this for a bit and see where I get!
Couldn't get the deck at first but then I won 2 FeelsGoodMan thanks for a non-meta deck :D !
I don't understand how getting a 1-1 Y'Saarj that has no minions to pull is a winning combination. I am probably missing something obvious, but can you explain that?
