(UPDATED FOR NERFS)
Spiteful Hunter is fun and competitive in the meta. It also incorporates Kathrena Winterwisp which summons big charging ferocious dinosaurs (Charged Devilsaur/King Krush or savage jungle cats (Savannah Highmane). It's kind of slow, so of course watch out for aggro (but with the Patches nerf this isn't such an issue).
Candleshot, Fire Flys, Mistress of Mixtures and Doomsayers are included to compete in the early game without the use of beasts (which are reserved for Kathrena).
As for your Spiteful Summoner, you can roll some pretty sweet 9-mana minions from Call of the Wild such as:
- Ysera
- King Krush
- Soggoth the Slitherer
- Lord Jaraxxus
- Malygos
- Voidlord
- Obsidian Statue
- Blood of The Ancient One
- Sleepy Dragon
- Giant Mastodon
The only truly bad rolls would be the mage legendary 3/3 Dragoncaller Alanna and 4/4 Blade of C'Thun. Dragonhatcher doesn't have good stats, but we've included Cobalt Scalebane so even that isn't bad. I've rolled Mayor Noggenfogger many times and nothing but good things happened because your minions will at least always still hit their board (whereas spells hit randomly and we don't have any).
This deck performs very well against Highlander Priest and Spiteful Priest, Cubelock is unfavored but certainly winnable if you draw your Spitefuls (if you wish to tech against Warlock, include another Spellbreaker and maybe even Tinkmaster Overspark) , but struggles vs. tempo rogue (though I haven't seen many since Patches nerf). Mill rogue is a bad matchup (but I've managed a few wins still). Aggro Paladin is winnable but it really helps to draw Rexxar and/or Doomsayers.
MULLIGANS
Always keep vs. aggro:
- Fire Fly
- Candleshot
- Mistress of Mixtures
- Eaglehorn Bow with other 1-drops
- Stitched Tracker (look for Spiteful or Kathrena)
- Tar Creeper if you have other 1-drops or Coin
Always keep Spiteful Summoner vs. control, otherwise mulligans are pretty similar as vs. aggro.
Other than that, you're obviously hoping to avoid Call of the Wild, Devilsaurs, and Krush in your opening hand.

It's very fun and will not disappoint!
I like this deck very much. Just cut the doomsayers and put Kelleseth there. Cant say its some sort of meta breaker but its a decent and fun to play deck.
It's certainly a fine substitution (if you review the history, the original version included Keleseth and the pirate package. Aggro paladin became a huge problem after that so I added the Doomsayers in to help last until turns 6 and beyond).
Yikes, the 9 mana spot is a risky one. Master Oakheart Mayor Noggenfogger, Dragonhatcher, Dragoncaller Alanna, Cenarius, Hadronox, Blade of C'Thun, and more. Would not recommend this, due to the complete lack of luck that you may get. Sure, it's still value from your 6 mana spiteful summoner, but that value comes at the price of running no other spells in the deck. The reason it works in priest and druid is because they can run 10 mana spells like mind control and UI. Priest also has free from amber, which works well standalone, but 8 cost minions also tend to be better than 9 costers. That's why I don't think this deck will see much success.
No offense, but you clearly didn't read through the guide. The 9-mana slot is actually excellent but for a few exceptions. Dragonhatcher is a GOOD result because we have Cobalt Scalebane included, Cenarius at 5/8 stats (not bad), Oakheart even at 5/5 is okay, Noggenfogger is a halfway decent roll because weird spell targeting doesn't affect our board. You got Alanna right though, she's weak at 3/3 stats and Blade of C'thun at 4/4 is also a crappy roll, but the majority are GOOD or EXCELLENT rolls.... Which is the point.
Oh, and Hadronox, a 3/7 that resummons Tar Creepers and Saronite Chain Gangs is another excellent pull. In fact, I'll add that to the list of awesome 9-drops to pull from spiteful. In what world do you consider 7/11 stats with deathrattle resummon a Tar Creeper a bad turn 6?
It's ironic that you thought I didn't read your guide, and yet clearly you didn't read my comment. Spiteful priest and spiteful druid are far better because they can get 10 drops, and are overall better classes for tempo decks because they have good midrange cards. Those decks are good, and due to their superiority in the midrange archetype, they outclass this deck. Go for spiteful priest, don't play yourself with this deck
I don't remember claiming that this deck was better than either of those spiteful builds. I don't remember claiming this was a tier 1 deck or anything like that. It's a shame you decided to downvote just because you disagreed with my point which was that several of the 9-drop rolls you claimed were bad quite simply are not. Regardless of what you think about the deck, I managed to climb to rank 4 with it and another poster below hit rank 3. It's very competitive against Spiteful priest and if you curve into Kathrena after Spiteful you nearly always win because you still have at least a turn or two before Mind Control.
This deck is amazing, im a only hunter player and i think this deck is very good, i start on rank 5 and im currently on 3.
TY for the deck bro.
This seems like a good deck, and you also use VERY few cards from 2016. That's good!
True, but Call of the Wild will be rotating out. Crushing Walls is the only other viable big spell to use with Hunter so unless the new expansion in April brings a big spell this build is likely rotating to Wild too.
