Okay, This is the guide for this deck.
I've had quite a success with this deck in the first two days of the expansion and i got to say that it does decent vs aggro (above 55-60 WR). If you draw Grevious Bite / Deathstalker Rexxar or Witchwood Grizzly you basically kick ass against fast decks.
The key of the deck is finding the Seepins Oozeling or Kathrena Winterwisp as soon as possible via Stiched Tracker. It is verry important to draw them by the tracker becouse you risk to not be able to recruit multiple times. (SO NEVER MULLIGAN KATHRENA, but you can mulligan Oozeling).
You can go whenever you want Play Dead + Oozeling/Kathrena for insane value and just in case you have 1 or 2 more Kathrenas in your hand and a few beasts in your deck, this is why i added 1x Dire Frenzy.
About Bloodmage Thalnos it is a very flexible card for this deck becouse i often use it as a removal combo ( 3 and 2 damage from Grevious Bite or 5damage from Wing Blast as well as the other spells. I got this as my first legendary ever so this is why i use it. In case you don't have him, no worry. You can easily replace him for another Oozeling / Freezing Trap or Kill Command.
MULLIGAN VS AGRO:
Make sure to always keep the Explosive Trap, Grevious Bite any Weapon and Wandering Monster
MULLIGAN VS CONTROL / MIDRANGE:
Here you should go for Freezing Trap / Wing Blast / Seeping Oozeling and you hard removals.
MOST IMPORTANT MULLIGANS:
i'd say that the most important card to mulligan is Stiched Tracker or Deathstalker Rexxar, just as just-in-case opportunity when you risk to draw both Oozeling and Kathrena in the first turns and you can generate the most of value from Rexxar, in case of no Play Dead in hand as well. (this happens so rarely and honestly never happened to me.
OTHER CARDS TO INCLUDE:
-1x Oozeling / -1x Thalnos = 2x Abominamable Bowman
-1x Thalnos / -1x Tracking = 1x Seeping Oozeling + 1x Silver Vanguard (The vanugard helps in case of drawing Kathreena early, where you can still recruit Charged Devilsaur
-1x Flanking Strike = 1x KC
After all, this is the list i've had the most success. I played a few games recorded on a brand new deck via Deck Tracker where i achieved around 60+ WR becouse i played about 15 other match-ups in a old deck-slot by mistake. Those wins and loses were counted in the old one, unfortunately. I also ranked from 20 to 14 in the first day of expansion by a 11 Winrate.
Down below i'll post a few Screenshots of the deck and the current WR. Haven't played much becouse the lack of time but i hopu you can make it better and have fun with it !

I am a 1000 Wins Hunter Pro so you can trust me :D ( https://imgur.com/a/GKqIx )
I've played those games today while play-testing the deck with different versions, this is why the WR is this low and the games seem not to be a lot. https://imgur.com/a/dBqin
I really liked big hunter in the K&C meta and I have to say this deck is doing very well for me. I made some slight changes on cards I felt weren't performing as well as I liked and I managed to reach rank 6.
I took out Bloodmage Thalnos (deathrattle inconsistent on ooze), Swamp King Dred (I don't have :<), both Grievous Bite (Isn't all that good without Thalnos), and one Hunter's Mark
and added in Acidic Swamp Ooze (for cubelock and tempo rogues), Spellbreaker (Silences are so valuable), 2nd Explosive Trap (for better match against dude pally and some other aggro decks), 2nd Wandering Monster (imo just a real valuable card), and 2nd Tracking (still testing on this one). I'm also on the edge about Dire Frenzy but I need to keep testing a bit.
Overall though, an amazing deck that I love. Thanks for sharing it!
Any replacement for King Krush and Swamp King Dred?
Savannah Highmanes are honestly very good to recruit, and their deathrattle is decent to be put on an ooze as well. Although I guess that would dilute the point of this deck to have play dead value with the recruit mechanic.
