I.Introduction
Good day to all! I am here again for another hunter deck. This time I have completed a working hunter deck that includes Prince Keleseth. Most of you would probably say, but hunter has good 2 drops why use Prince Keleseth? The answer is because hunter can really benefit from the buff Prince Keleseth gives. Those cards that seem to have been meh card are given a push into the good direction. So if you are still in doubt if it is good, go and try it yourself. Most of my friends who have tried the deck are also amazed that it actually works.
If winning is your priority and not so much of having fun or you just lack the dust to make this deck then I'd suggest my newest deck:

II. Card Choices
Hunter Cards
Alleycat - solid 1 drop and activator for Kill Command'- Jeweled Macaw - a decent 1 drop which gives you a beast that you could play later on. This card becomes really good if you get a 2 drop to follow it up or if it gives you something you can use later on to win the game.
- Hunter's Mark - very reliant removal, you could sub one Unleash the Hounds if you are facing more aggro decks such as Evolve Shaman.
- Tracking - fixes your curve and lets you find whatever you will be needing
- Animal Companion - staple in hunter deck, each of the three has their corresponding strengths
- Bearshark - hands down a very good card atm, the spell shroud coupled with buffs from Houndmaster can most of the times win you games.
- Eaglehorn Bow - even without traps this weapon is reliable in gaining board control and also helps in pushing damage
- Kill Command - a good finisher or removal if you need one, just remember that you need a beast on the board to have the full 5 damage
Stitched Tracker- Unleash the Hounds - provides you reach against decks that try to overwhelm you with minions. Great if paired with Hunter's Mark to clear bigger bodies. Keep in mind that Leokk will also improve this card if you get lucky and get him from Animal Companion
- Dispatch Kodo - a good card to win the board, deals 3 damage if you have a Leokk on board or if you have previously cast Prince Keleseth
- Houndmaster - the value this card gives is really high, don't hesitate to play this turn 4 if you have nothing
Tundra Rhino- Deathstalker Rexxar - the only aoe damage this deck has, ZOMBEASTS ARE AWESOME, don't hesitate to use this card
- Savannah Highmane - the value of this card is tremendous (it is very hard to deal with - its 6/5 body and the 2 2/2's that come out) if you get a chance to play it, more often than not it will win you games (a guaranteed 4 damage on your next turn, of course unless they silence it)
Neutral Cards
- Bloodsail Corsair - mainly used to pull out Patches the Pirate from your deck and also good to remove your opponent's weapon in certain matchups
- Fire Fly - probably the best thing you can drop on turn 1 so why not?
- Patches the Pirate - this is probably one of the best 1 drops in the game, specially if you have already played Prince Keleseth
Stonetusk Boar- Prince Keleseth - drawing this card will boost your winrate by around 10% but if you don't get him it's not really the end of the world
- Southsea Captain - I added this because it synergizes better with the other pirates in the deck
- Bittertide Hydra - 5 mana that is literally a beast, just make sure your opponent can't abuse the damage effect it will deal to you
- Leeroy Jenkins - a great finisher in your deck
Alternatives:
Patches the Pirate If you choose to remove him, then you have to remove the whole pirate package, here's how:
- Remove 2 copies of Bloodsail Corsair
- Remove Patches the Pirate
- Remove 2 copies of Southsea Captain
- Add either: 2 Alleycat + 1 Fiery Bat or 2 Fiery Bat + 1 Alleycat
- Add 2 copies of Stitched Tracker
Leeroy Jenkins > Bonemare or Tundra Rhino
Deathstalker Rexxar > Savannah Highmane
Bittertide Hydra > Cobalt Scalebane or Tundra Rhino
III. Quick Mulligan Guide
For most matchups you would want to keep the following:
- Prince Keleseth - ALWAYS!
- Fire Fly
- Jeweled Macaw
- Tracking
With coin: - Eaglehorn Bow
- Animal Companion
- Southsea Captain
Matchup based: - Bloodsail Corsair - against Rogue, Shaman, Warrior
- Bearshark - against Druid, Mage, Priest
- Unleash the Hounds - against Hunter, Paladin, Shaman, and Warlock
- Deathstalker Rexxar - against Priest, Shaman, and Warlock
Revision History:
v1.6
- +2 [card]Fire Fly[/card]
- +2 [card]Jeweled Macaw[/card]
- +1 [card]Savannah Highmane[/card]
- -2 [card]Alleycat[/card]
- -2 [card]Hunter's Mark[/card]
- -1 [card]Tracking[/card]
- Fire Fly seems to be a better choice than Alleycat for a turn 1 play.
- I added Jeweled Macaw to help in the early game, the beast it can produce includes those 2 drops which we lack in the deck. This card can also act as an activator for Kill Command.
- Hunter's Mark is also a bit useless in the early game and it needs something on your side of the board to work.
- I removed one copy of Tracking to make way for Savannah Highmane which makes ending games easier. It is really hard to remove the 6/5 body together with the 2 2/2's it produces.
Older version:
v1.1
- +2 [card]Southsea Captain[/card]
- -2 [card]Stitched Tracker[/card]
Southsea Captain maybe a better pick to speed up the deck.
Stitched Tracker also causes those who try the deck to get another Prince Keleseth which would not activate unless you draw the original Prince Keleseth from the deck.
v1.2
- +2 [card]Bittertide Hydra[/card]
- -1 [card]Tundra Rhino[/card]
- -1 [card]Savannah Highmane[/card]
Bittertide Hydra is a better choice for a more aggressive approach, Savannah Highmane seems to be a bit slow and the Tundra Rhino is a bit lackluster for the slot.
v1.3
- +2 [card]Unleash the Hounds[/card]
- -2 Stonetusk Boar
Unleash the Hounds provides more reach against decks that try to overwhelm you with minions. Stonetusk Boar doesn't seem to meet much of my expectations like when cast on turn 1.
v1.4
- +2 [card]Savannah Highmane[/card]
- -1 [card]Hunter's Mark[/card]
- -1 [card]Unleash the Hounds[/card]
Drawing two copies of either Hunter's Mark or Unleash the Hounds is pretty bad so maybe 1 copy of each will do. Savannah Highmane I guess is a pretty strong card for the slot and can definitely seal games for you.
v1.5
After numerous testing I have seen that Savannah Highmane is way too slow for the deck. I went back to including 2 copies of both Hunter's Mark and Unleash the Hounds.
Thank you so much for your time. I hope you liked the deck! If you did, please give the deck an up vote (+) and if you didn't like it please leave a comment below on how this deck can improve. Have fun y'all!
'Cause fast has more ring to it. LOL! :D
Awesome list, man! great job :) also, i completely agree with you on Fire Fly being the best 1-drop, especially considering there's no Razormaw to buff it at turn 2 :)
I swapped 1x Dispatch Kodo for 1xStitched Tracker. Don't know your thoughts about that?
and one more question, is it necessary with 2x Unleash the Hounds ? WithHunter's Mark gone i might feel that swapping one out for a Deadly Shot
What do you think? I'm really not an experienced hunter player.
Cheers
Hmmm... KODO IS POWER! LOL! You could definitely try swapping one UTH for a Hunter’s Mark. Tell us how it goes, okay? :)
Correction m8: I meant to say: Swap one UTH for 1x Deadly Shot considering Hunter's Mark now is removed :) I think it will work fine. I'll give u a feedback on the Stitched Tracker and the Deadly Shot
I played with one deadly shot, but the problem was i kept going up against other aggro and never like priest or control warrs with 1 creature. I have added and subtracted the one deadly from my list a few times. UTH and Rexxar are both win cons in themselves. I lost my only game yest playing kazakus priest to a top deck UTH and pig from animal companion. Also while playing this deck i've wiped a board and won just using rexxes power every turn.
2x Bloodsail Corsair
2x Fire Fly
2x Jeweled Macaw
1x Patches the Pirate
1x Tracking
1x Prince Keleseth
2x Animal Companion
2x Bearshark
2x Eaglehorn Bow
2x Kill Command
2x Southsea Captain
2x Unleash the Hounds
2x Dispatch Kodo
2x Houndmaster
1x Bittertide Hydra
1x Cobalt Scalebane
1x Deathstalker Rexxar
1x Savannah Highmane
1x Bonemare
Here's what I'm running. This seems to give me better tempo plays because it rounds off our 2 slot... and I always seems to have that beast i need with macaws. Any of the big drops are interchangeable, this is just the best way to manage the 1/2 turns. Alley cat is a good card, it just seems weak in the meta against all the rogues/people playing their own fire flys. Swapped Leeroy with Bonemare and I'm playing with 1 less bittertide cause it feels so dangerous sometimes. I'm testing the Cobalt, but I like it so far and I still stick with a single Highmane. Highmane into Bonemare is really strong, Could even maybe go up copies of these. I'm also trying to run more creatures to fully benefit from kel, I think I'm at 20 which is more than there were before.
Thank you so much for the suggestions! I was a bit busy lately so I wasn’t able to update sooner.
Here’s the changes I made on the latest revision:
Fire Fly is better than Alleycat in providing tempo so I removed the cats for the fireflies
Hunter’s Mark is sometimes helpless in the early game specially when you don’t have a board so I added Jeweled Macaw for more things to drop in the early game plus it is also a cheap activator for Kill Command
Added Savannah Highmane again and removed 1 copy of Tracking for more beasts later on and for better end game results.
only lost 1 game from rank 15 to 10, fun deck
Thanks for trying it out! Cheers! :)
this is nice
Yes it is! Hahahaha :)
its nice u make some deck but...what i see in first match on wideo u have so bad turn 2 if u miss 1 drop, rouge have best hero power at this point, so u lost alot of tempo i dont say this deck it BAD but weaker than rouge, have good day see u in game. :)
I tried to fix this issue with the new revision. Come and check it out! Thanks! :)
hunter decks with hunters mark is the best.
thumbs up
Sadly I removed it. LOL
Seems like we could gain more tempo with another 1 drop minion instead. :P
awful
0-5
Probably the worst deck I copied from this page ever.
Got higher costs in mulligan 4 times and never got Keleseth
This guy commented on a F2P Token Druid with "yet another jade druid". By that sentence alone you can tell the level of autism this guy actually has, FeelsBadMan :(
Hey, that was a mistake. I wanted to post that in another deck. By the way, Does that comment make invalid my opinion about this deck?
I used this deck and my results were horrible (and I played it in casual mode). Maybe my comment about it is the worst deck was exaggerated.
Idk, maybe I played it wrong, had bad luck in mulligan or hard match ups. I will give it a second chance today.
Oh please do, we'll be on the edge of our seats waiting to hear your results.
