Informative
Hunter is back! With multiple facets, Hunter is able to control board fairly early and finish the game in a low amount of time. For a guide, I'll require 5 likes.
For Class Mulligans and Cards choices 20 likes would be nice.
Oh boy, you know your favourite class is back: Hunter!
Hopeless Shameless Begging you all Plug In
Take some time and follow me! I would appreciate it so much!

Gameplay
Thanks so much kiwiiNBacon for showcasing my deck! I didn't think this deck would get the attention it is getting now. Here's a video of him rocking out the deck.

Overview
The basics of this deck follow a more aggressive tendency than your average midrange hunter. When we have to smorc, we will smorc. In the case of this deck, you want to take control of the board early because there is a lack late game minions (More often than not, you're going to be smorc-ing face). Using your hero power can be pivotal.
Mulligan
You should always keep: Dire Mole and Alleycat.
These two cards are basically the foundation for your victory or your loss.
Without Coin: Dire Mole, Alleycat, Crackling Razormaw or Kindly Grandmother, Animal Companion or Eaglehorn Bow.
Without a coin, you're unable to quickly coin out a Cat Trick play or Kindly Grandmother. Your main focus is to be the first one to get a minion on board, so you can take care of their minions. Crackling Razormaw helps to eliminate any pesky early game minions with adapt function that can draw poisonous or +1/+1. Animal Companion and Eaglehorn Bow are good curve cards that can help you clear the even stickier minions, but at that point it you have to ask yourself is smorc-ing just that much juicier.
With Coin: Dire Mole, Alleycat, Crackling Razormaw or Kindly Grandmother, Cloaked Huntress or Animal Companion.
With a coin, the same idea here is applied to try to get down those early game minions as quickly as possible to have your board presence be immediate otherwise you lose the board early on and it becomes difficult to come back. The only difference here is you may want to coin out an early Kindly Grandmother or Cat Trick or Cloaked Huntress + Cat Trick.
Tips
(T2) Coin +Cloaked Huntress + Cat Trick or Wandering Monster
The problem with playing Wandering Monster with Cloaked Huntress is that the enemy will try to focus on your Cloaked Huntress and Wandering Monster becomes a secondary objective that may not help you if you have board control.
Class Mulligan
Vs Spell Hunter (Good)
Without coin: Flare , Dire Mole, Alleycat
With coin: Flare, Cat Trick, Animal Companion
Vs Big Priest (Easy Game)
With coin: Dire Mole , Alleycat , Crackling Razormaw
Without coin: Dire Mole , Alleycat , Crackling Razormaw
Same Mulligan because you're trying to get Dire Mole down and using Crackling Razormaw to get that +3 attack so they can't do anything to it.
Vs Secret Mage (Hard)
With Coin: Kindly Grandmother, Cat Trick
Without coin: Dire Mole , Crackling Razormaw
Vs Kingsbane (Medium)
With Coin: Kindly Grandmother, Cat Trick
Without coin: Dire Mole , Crackling Razormaw
Vs Recruit Paladin (Medium)
Without coin: Alleycat Crackling Razormaw
With coin: Dire Mole , Kindly Grandmother
Vs Murloc Paladin (Hard)
Without coin: Dire Mole , Kindly Grandmother
With coin: Alleycat Crackling Razormaw
I just hit rank 10 for the first time thanks to this deck. I rode it from 20 to 13 on the first day then I took a small break only playing a couple matches over the last few days because my winrate started to drop a bit and I was afraid I would fall back down to 15. I picked it back up today and went 4-1 grabbing that safety net (rank 10). Overall I am 44-25 (64%) with it.
I mostly stuck with the original secret heavy list with only -1 Cloaked Huntress -1 Flare, +1 Houndmaster +1 Stranglethorn Tiger for changes because I don't have Corridor Creeper.
seems a little strange to see a hunter deck with no savanna highmane and deathstalker rexxar :O
very nice midrange hunter deck, i change -2 creeper +1 savvanah +1 Flare (because lot of people using secret decks in my rank)
here my game vs Rogue and another midrange hunter. enjoy :)

horrible deck, 2 secrets and nothing to play!
I want you to know that you don't have this deck cardlist exactly. It's meant to be a guide toward a deck not one card list fits all. You can replace minions for more secrets if you like. The secrets were too slow even with Cloaked Huntress and Lesser Emerald Spellstone falls victim to a ton of AOE and shouldn't be the card you want to revolve this deck around: Dragonfire Potion or Pint-Size Potion + Shadow Word: Horror , Psychic Scream , Whirlwind + Sleep with the Fishes , Blizzard , Duskbreaker. If you noticed the current meta (atleast rank 4) is priest priest and more priest. The opponent will be less likely to use those AOE if you lets say have a clear board and drop a 6/6 5 mana, but that's just me.
Replace of the 2 corridor creeper ?
Thank You !
Why only 2 secret with spellstone?
Found myself losing early on before I could even play spell stone. You could take out Unleash the Hounds and Hunter's Mark to fit in those secrets. Hell, you could even take out Stranglethorn Tiger and throw in a secret if you want.
Okay, I understand your point, but would not it be better then to take a copy of the spellstone if it will use only 2 secrets?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english :P
Doesn't hurt to have a card for 5 mana that could be equivalent to a 9/9 or on rare cases a 12/12 even if you only have 2 secrets. The potential is there. I think people are mistaking the fact that this deck is not revolved around the spellstone. It's to get the board early on and have the board through out the game until you finish.
What can I replace Cat Trick and Kindly Grandmother with?
SAvanna is shit in this deck, u drop a 6 mana minion only to see it silenced and destroyed right away. A better choice in this deck is to take out two or three normal cards and substitute to aoe/tempo secrets, no savanna - Leroy Jenkins / Rocketeer if no leroy. 1-2 corridor creeper since u going To smash some minions out from ur opponent with cards like Flaking Strike and will reduce the cost of it on the same way they will destroy ur summoned wolves.
This deck plays very good with the right One/Two Drops in hand, Always keep a Talisma on the mulligan specially with some secret.
Nice secrets to think about in the meta as u are up on the ladder - 20 -15 - Damage Aoe Secret/ Snake Trap / -1cat trick
15 - 10 - +1 cat trick / -1 aoe damage secret -1 snake trap | +1 Counter minion secret like freeze trap, snipe
10 - 1 Legend - if achieve this so, keep this list and do some real changes based on the matches u're playing Control or aggro against
nice deck for climbing indeed
Does Kathrena Winterwisp fits in this deck?
She costs too much for this deck and when she does come out the list of things she can recruit is rather bad. It doesn't activate battlecry so Alleycat would just be 1 1/1 and Crackling Razormaw would waste it's adapt (which is often the best part of the card). The only things that would be worth recruiting would be Bearshark, Stranglethorn Tiger, and Corridor Creeper so there are 8 bad recruits and only 5 decent ones.
Any way to make this deck better i keep on losing to void lord warlock and the buff pally so far i got 3/3 score i replaced the strangle thorn tiger for deathstalker rexxar and replaced 1 bearshark for a ooze thinking of adding bonemare for more value
HEy friend, perhaps u could change Strangletorn for Leroy and Savanna For deathstalker rexxar.
I played this deck and he's really good at the moment with those two cards, from 20 to 8 in a few hours. Nice dek by the way, try to update a little more.
I'm sorry, but this deck does not even exist in the current meta. This is a rank 15 deck only.
It loses to Mage Secret Tempo, it loses to Control and Aggro warlock, it loses badly to badly to both Priest and Aggro Paladin. It gets beyond crushed by Dragon Priest and Murloc Paladin.
It gets out-aggro'd by the aggro decks - and out-controlled by the control decks.
Is the deck currently up2date? Either I am too stupid to play it, or it doesn't really work out like you said.
I've been losing now 5 games in a row, drawing a "perfect" hand, as you described it!
