Thank you everybody for reading and upvoting this deck!!! I told myself I'd make a full, UPDATED guide when it hit 1000 views or 5 upvotes, and y'all helped it hit both! Unfortunately, the write-up won't come for another week (finals are late for whatever reason), but I promise it'll happen now. The following guide is quite out-of-date, but I'd still encourage y'all to read it, as there's some stuff that's still relevant (but mostly because I spent some good time on it).

 

IF YOU LIKE THIS DECK, PLEASE UPVOTE! IT HELPS A LOT!

I've found that this version of the deck seems the most consistent.

 

 

If you've stumbled upon this deck, you're probably here for 1 of 2 probable reasons: 1) Immediately downvote such a retarded idea as Reno Qunter, or 2) You respect a good meme and aren't afraid to check one out if you spot it. Initial reactions may be, "Is this Tardivark guy high?" And though the answer's probably yes at the time you're reading this, allow me to show you the TRUE POTENTIAL of the pity concede (as it will be your main source of winrate)

An astute observer may notice the presence of some shall we say, unusual cards for a Qunter. Let's look at the first one:

Reno Jackson:

-Basically the second-most important part of this deck (besides the quest, of course). There isn't really a reason for this card's presence other than BECAUSE I CAN. The point of this deck is to make Reno Qunter. If you don't like that, this isn't the deck for you.

Stitched Tracker:

-This one's probably the least weird of the weird additions in the deck. What's so good about this card is that it serves as a beautiful way to keep steam up in your deck. With so many minions in this deck with strong yet niche uses Stitched Tracker helps you get that much closer to the card you need. Plus it has nice synergy with Brann Bronzebeard.

Corpse Widow:

-Talk about a situational combo card xD. On first glance, this card is waaay out of place. With only 4 deathrattle cards in the deck, it seems to be a literal waste-of-space. Do not be fooled, however, as it holds hidden combo potential. Your main goal with this is to play it turn 6+ and whip out a Dancing Swords or another of your deathrattle minions, because in case you didn't notice, all *4* deathrattle minions in this deck are 3-drops. That's right: in conjunction with Corpse Widow, they help complete your quest. Sadly, this combo isn't too consistent, so you're usually going to be using it as a soft taunt or to combo with deathrattle minions you generate with Deathstalker Rexxar.

Dancing Swords?!?! OHHH yes my child...

-This is the second major sign of strangeness. Most Qunters wouldn't even consider this card for their deck, but if you're reading this: CONGLATURBATIONS  because you're not "most Qunters." This card not only has decently high value for its stats, but its deathrattle is not bad either. Due to the unique nature of how you play this deck, making your opponent draw a card can be really powerful against control decks to mill staple cards like Bloodreaver Gul'dan. Works with Corpse Widow for the neat combo.

Deathlord?!?!?!

-In case it wasn't obvious yet, this deck is supposed to be operated in a more control-style than other Qunters. Deathlord not only helps protect your flank, but also helps drag out those nasty battlecry cards in your opponent's aggro/midrange/combo/OTK decks. Be careful when against Warlock though: Control Lock uses exclusively t h i c c minions, so Deathlord could pull out Voidlord, or even Mal'Ganis! Even Zoolock seems immune, as their battlecries are usually negative. TL;DR: Bad vs Warlock, good vs everyone else.

Hobgoblin:

-Why isn't this played that often in Qunter? Honestly! It does nothing but good! It serves as a practical second Prince Keleseth for your 1-attack minions, which you have plenty of (7, not including those generated by other cards). If you've already played Prince Keleseth, it may seem like a dead card, but it still helps with the consistency of your powerspikes. Also, if you happen to have both Hobgoblin AND Prince Keleseth in your hand, you can opt to play Hobbes first and hold onto Keleseth for post-quest. Pretty neat card for Qunter all-in-all.

NOTE TO THE READER: 

The most recent version of my Reno Qunter doesn't run a copy of Hobby. THIS IS INTENTIONAL!!! Although my opinion of Hobby in Traditional Qunter hasn't changed at all, I've noticed that it doesn't bring to Reno Qunter the power that it should be. Prince Keleseth allows you to play aggressive because it brings constant value to every minion in your deck at all stages of the game. Sadly, though, Reno Qunter doesn't run enough 1-attack minions to let Hobgoblin truly shine. If you find yourself hating Reno Qunter over Traditional Qunter though, don't hesitate to throw Hobbes in. :D

In addition to those weird cards, there are some others that are also strange, but should make more sense now that the deck has been explained a bit more:

Igneous Elemental:

-Immediate combo potential with Corpse Widow and postmortem use with Hobgoblin. Need I say more? 

Stonehill Defender:

-Combo potential with both Brann Bronzebeard and also Hobgoblin. Really useful when facing aggro decks, ESPECIALLY against those cancer Odd Paladins so popular right now...

NOTE TO THE READER: 

As this deck has shifted focus from a midrange deck to a more Aggro/Control switch deck, I've dropped Stonehill for The Curator

Skulking Geist:

-Fuck Jade Druid. Also helps a lot with Combo Priest, Non-Quest Rogue, etc. 

Zola the Gorgon:

-It serves as an incredibly useful and versatile answer to literally anything thrown at you that isn't OTK. "I just DK'd an incredibly powerful minion with taunt and elusive!" Copy it. "FAKK I PLAYED RENO AND I'M STILL GONNA DIE IN TWO TURNS!!!" Copy it. "I'm only 1 minion off of quest after playing Zombie Chow!" Copy it. "I'm facing Cubelock!" Concede the match, but copy his decklist with Zola. See? Crazy useful. And the best part: the copy's golden. Who cares about winning if you can't win in style?

 

TECH OPTIONS (this will be expanded as the meta becomes clearer)

~~~Toxic Arrow and Unstable Ghoul can combo for good board control if you're facing a lot of board-heavy midrange to control decks. Obviously, you'd have to drop Prince Keleseth if you wanted to run this, but sacrifices must be made. 

~~~Argent Squire can combo nice with Toxmonger for getting rid of thicc threaths. 

~~~Mossy Horror eats ass when it comes to dismantling Even Shaman, Odd/Even Pally, and sometimes Warlock.

So that's that. If this deck is seen enough times, I'll write a full-ish guide for matchups.

Hopefully y'all can have a bit of fun with this deck, because that's what it's for. Not laddering, enjoying.
