Senfglas made it to number 1 legend on EU from rank 10 in 3 days on stream. He was undefeated from rank 10 to 5. This deck is insanely good against priests and cubelocks. All you gotta do is SMOrc, because everybody knows that the face is the place.
If you guys have any questions about the deck, mulligan's and replacement please ask in the comments section and leave an up vote as it greatly helps.
As promised, here is the deck guide. Sorry to keep you guys waiting for a couple of days.
+10 upvotes= Mulligan guide
The mulligan strategy in this deck is very simple: keep your one drops, except for patches and southsea deckhand; consider keeping southsea deckhand; keep crackling razormaw if you have a dire mole or an alleycat, otherwise only keep it if helps you curve out well; and always keep corridor creeper, only keep double corridor creeper if you go second or have a 1 drop or double 3 drop. NEVER SHOULD YOU EVER KEEP Patches the Pirate, Leeroy Jenkins OR Kill Command in your starting hands. Only time you keep Spellbreaker is if you have an insanely THICC curvy hand AND you are playing against control warlock. Only keep tundra rhino versus priests if you are on the coin and you have double corridor creeper. Only keep houndmaster with a good curve. Always try to get a good curve.
VS Druids:
Keep 1 drops like alleycat and diremole. Keep a corridor creeper, or two if you go second or have a good hand. Keep southsea captain and/or animal companion on coin or with a good hand. Keep crackling razormaw with a good curve. Keep Bittertide Hydra with a good hand or on the coin.
VS Hunters:
You can keep any one drop if it seems fitting. Keep crackling razormaw with a good curve. Keep southsea captain and or animal companion on the coin or on a good curve. Keep a corridor creeper or two, with a good hand or on the curve.
VS Mages:
Keep alleycat and diremole. Keep crackling razormaw. Keep a single corridor creeper, or two if on the coin or with a good curve. Keep candleshot with southsea captain. Keep southsea captain, eaglehorn bow or animal companion on the coin or with a good curve. If you draw all 3 in mulligan with coin, only keep 2 (always eaglehorn, though, unless if its captain plus candleshot).
VS Paladins:
Keep all one drops, except for patches and southsea deckhand. Only keep southsea deck hand with a good hand. Keep all corridor creepers. Keep 3 drops on coin, except for eaglehorn bow unless it's befitting your hand.
VS Priests:
Keep all one drops, except for candleshot unless you have a southsea deckhand. Keep one corridor creeper, or two with a good hand. Keep crackling razormaw. Keep double 3 drop on coin. Keep a bittertide hydra with a good hand or on the coin. Only keep tundra rhino if your on the coin and you have double corridor creeper.
VS Rogues:
Keep all one drops except for southsea deckhand. Keep double 3 drops on the coin. Keep a corridor creeper or two, with a good hand or on the coin.
VS Shamans:
Keep all one drops except for southsea deckhand. Keep double 3 drops on the coin. Keep a corridor creeper or two, with a good hand or the coin. Keep crackling razormaw with a good curve.
VS Warlocks:
Keep all one drops except for southsea deckhand, unless it curves out well. Keep crackling razormaw with a 1 drop. Keep double 3 drop on the coin. Keep spellbreaker only if you have an insane curve. Keep a corridor creeper or two, on the coin or with a good hand.
VS Warriors:
Keep all one drops except for candleshot and southsea deckhand, unless you have them together. Keep crackling razormaw. Keep double three drops on coin. Keep a corridor creeper or two, with a good hand or on the coin.
+20 upvotes= Matchups and replacements
This deck is absolutely NUTS against control decks such as Cubelock and Highlander Priests and it crushes all priest archetypes. It struggles against aggressive decks, on the other end. However, if piloted efficiently, it can be great against tempo and semi-aggressive decks too!
If you want to replace Leeroy Jenkins, I'd recommend a reckless racketeer because of they share a similar purpose. If you don't have patches, I'd cut 2x Southsea deckhand and 2x Southsea Captain with it, because the only reason pirates are played in all tempo/aggro/face decks is Patches. You can substitute the pirate package for 2x knife juggler, 2x unleash the hounds and 1x wolfrider. If you want to replace the Bittertide hydras, I'd recommend cutting 1x Tundra Rhino and 1x spellbreaker alongside it to be able to add 2x knife juggler and 2x unleash the hounds.

To perform better against aggro, you can remove 2x bittertide hydra, 1x spellbreaker and 1x tundra rhino for 2x knife juggler and 2x unleash the Hounds, but only at the cost of making your control match ups slightly worst. Some Highlander priests now run a single copy of greater healing potion in addition to the binding heal due to the sudden rise of face hunters once again, so you might have to manage your resources slightly more efficiently against them.

dont trade much, if not necessary. hit their face hard and often <<
Razormaw is too good to be replaced by Prince
I dont have leeroy,patches ,southseacapta and hydra.what should i replace them?
by the way im stuck at rank 19
you're lack of too many key cards in this deck. Altho u can find some replacement here in comments, but I don't think the deck is good enough to climb a ladder anymore.
Also, don't craft Patches now since he will rotate out this April. If you are a fan of aggro deck and really wanna craft one, I would suggest you to craft Leeroy, as he is included in almost every aggro deck.
My honest suggestion would be: learn about a game mechanic more. If you're stuck at Rank 19, it may be that your understanding about the game is not enough. (Player with good knowledge about HS can easily climb to 15-16 with only basic card-only deck.)
Trump's Youtube channel is a good start for you, as it's quite descriptive and newbie-friendly. The channel helped me a lot so I think it will help you too.
This deck worked well for me last night. I must have gone about 10-2 from rank 15
Any replacements for the Hydra's?
Nice deck. Currently rank 5
"Senfglas made it to number 1 legend on EU from rank 10 in 3 days on stream"
As a sidenote this deck has not been tested for ranks below 10 where it's the underdog and it underperforms. Check tempostorm or metastats to see how bad it performs there.
LOL.
Not to be rude, but I don't think I've ever been stuck below rank 10 with almost any deck. In fact, I climbed to rank 5 this season with a tollywaggle druid deck relatively easily.
When you pull from the pool of relatively lower skilled players, it will skew the numbers with ANY deck. If you're stuck under rank 10, it's probably not the deck that needs work. Optimal play of the deck is important for an actual useful win percentage statistic, which is why taking anything below rank 10 seriously doesn't really make sense.
Let me make this clear, I never said I was under rank 10, but as a statistic i ran this deck with an alternate account and it underperformed.
Skill is not an issue here as I am rank 4 atm. There are many variables as to why a deck may be bad, RNG, bad opponent, luck of the draw, topdeck, too much variety etc. With my alternate account this deck did not perform well at all, from a total of 34 matches, after which I just stopped playing it since 13 wins did not make any sense, from which 4 were turn 1 ragequit or opponents logging out.
The problem with this deck is that it's built to face well against decks in the top 10, variety being a problem for this deck since it ill equipped to deal with any other gimmick decks, combo decks or just a few quest decks.
Just my 2 cents
LOL US ladder. Not be rude (haha), but rank 5 on US ladder is like rank 10 on EU.
Ahhh, remember the days when Face Hunter was the real and only cancer deck? Now, we use face hunter to hunt the cancers.
God bless you!! With this deck I start love Priests against me) And to have much fun I scream "Nakazan!!" (Punished!!) after every win against homo-Priests)
Fun deck. Kiwiinbacon has a sample size problem. Basically only shows himself winning.
All around this is a pretty cool deck but I prefer my own take on I hunt alone esq decks.This approach got me from rank 25 to rank 14 in my first actual season (this one) I haven't played as much as possible but it is really good. I never thought I would use hunter but I have found that it is one of the best classes out there.
nice job posting these cancerous decks, its amazing
Stop crying
pay attention to the meta and you'll notice that the real cancers now are RazaPriest and Cubelock xD
oh right, since you clearly have nfi how to play around those decks I can understand why you think theyre cancerous, no worries noob
stop being a dumbcunt
