I had a theory for a big beast hunter deck for a while. Whenever I play arena, I always choose Violet Wurm if it shows up, mainly because of how sticky it is on the board; it's basically an Onyxia that can't be killed with a board wipe. It's basically why Savannah Highmane is such a powerful card, it's hard to get rid of which makes pushing damage quite effective.

The concept of this deck is based around the secret hunter package and big Hunter deathrattle cards, and I must say it is working a treat and not only holds its own even against decks like Priest thanks to the more invested-in late game, but thanks to the spellstone or Barnes into any of the good deathrattles (/Lich King) it effectively works as a tempo deck, but with especially powerful swing turns in the late game if you draw Kathrena Winterwisp, as her battlecry and deathrattle are never going to summon anything less than Savannah Highmanes, and if she hits Violet Wurm it's pretty much game set and match.

Also note the cheeky crushing walls as nobody expects it or plays around it.

I think this style definitely has potential, please feel free to ask any questions or give any suggestions for improvements.

UPDATE: Replaced Seeping Oozeling with Deathstalker Rexxar; I am currently at Rank 6 with this deck! Piloted it from rank 18.  I don't have anything to track statistics but I can say that its hardest matchups are either cubelock (the taunt variant) or big priest, but it can still win with a good opener and good choices with trades and whatnot. Absolutely obliterates paladin which is what I'm seeing the most of right now

FINAL UPDATE FOR MARCH SEASON: I've finished for now on rank 3 as the grinding at this point is very hit and miss given the lack of streaks. I'd say the deck was an overall success and I look forward to taking this idea forward into April.
