I've already switched back to the old hunter builds, deathrattle is still the strongest. Baku has been useful for bushwacking people experimenting with unrefined control/OTK builds.

Are people really beating spell hunter with odd warrior? I beat every odd warrior i've played in fatigue. They can't deal with Rexxar so as long as it's not on the bottom of the deck you should win. Just don't play your tracking(s) and don't play into super collider and there is nothing they can really do to you. The very few threats they muster can be easily removed by crushing walls, deadly shot, hunters mark. Big Spell mage does ok but i've beaten a lot of them in fatigue as well, it's a close matchup.
I don't think the answer to spell hunter is control, it's aggro. Zoo lock and odd pally are the tough matchups. If you can go wide on the board then they can't catchup and the deck has no healing or consistent taunts outside of Rexxar so they're vulnerable early. As long as they properly play around the traps it can be really hard to stabilize.
Everything you said is correct. Zoo even has high win rates vs death rattle hunter as long as you know when to trade. I played 200 games of zoo last season and every time I went against spell hunter it was an easy win. It's so hard for hunter to come back once they lose board.
Here you can see the stats. Zoo is an easy legend deck if you keep playing it.
First time since exp that i ended a day with a full 100% wr vs no skill spell hunters. Odd paladin is super easy but boring to play, zoolock isnt that good vs a curved spell hunter odd warrior isnt very good, but can beat it with a well timed boomship on giant minions but Kingsbane takes skill and it beats them.
Oh yeah i forgot to mention, Chief Inspector in every deck makes them emote everytime. even funnier is that im seeing spell hunters using the Flarecard, i guess they hate the mirror match OMEGALUL
Let's avoid the phrase "boring meta" a whole 3-4 days after the expansion releases. Are there too many hunters? Sure... but a yogg-like card has that effect. *Praise Yogg*. =P
I'd run warrior or even old taunt warrior with a few updates to it. Might not stop an aggro hunter but I haven't ran into many of those.
its not a Yogg like card effect. Its Tess for hunter but you can choose what cards you will cast and almost never backfires. So not random and not chances to get something that you dont want.
Ok i had to admit i was playing it too in last 3 days and was around 80% win rate from 19 to 12, after that too many priest and mages, so i think those two are the biggest counter, quest priest is killing it totally and once jaina hits the board ... I`m going to change to paladin.

I think too, hunter is just the start of the meta. The real problem will arrise soon when everyone runs hunter techs.
According to this thread every deck beats Spell Hunter :D

i got 8 W in 9 games with token druid agains spell hunter .
zoo ez win
Creer es poder
Zoo is not even an EZ Win versus good Secret Hunters.
Just play Taunt Druid or Priest with Mass Hysteria on curve for the spellstone.
Any Druid deck kills Hunter, I can't tell you how many times Spreading has stopped me in my tracks
Yep Mech'athun Priest and Druid is the way to go it also punishes Odd Paladins and Odd Warriors trying to feast upon the Hunters as well.
I agree that odd mage is a natural counter.

Just play druid. Particularly taunt druid
I've been having decent winrate against Hunter with Pirate Rogue. Man, Cannon Barrage is a hell of a card.

Dragon Priest ft. Princess Talanji seems to be strong to me.
This space is intentionally blank.
We all know that when you tech against a certain matchup you will never face them with that deck.
The basic Token druid with onyxia in do the job well done
Dragon Warrior crushes Hunter steady.
Good old quest mage does the job. You lose vs any faster deck tho.
