Hi,
I've been trying to build a control Hunter deck that works for a long time and this is the first time I've got one to work on the ladder. In the past Hunter has alway had problems with a control deck as it had problems with card draw and healing, two important aspects of control. Now with Loot Hoarder, Stitched Tracker and Countess Ashmore, there is plenty of card draw. Then Vicious Scalehide + Dire Frenzy give you access to the healing that Hunter as always needed for a control deck.
Win condition is two fold, first you have the basic push for damage with hero power + secret/Lesser Emerald Spellstone. Then you have the long control game win with the mighty Emeriss doubling up any zombeasts you get from Deathstalker Rexxar and if possible King Krush as well. I even had one game against a cubelock where I had a 2nd King Krush from Stitched Tracker, both were 16/16, the first was delt with by the warlocks Siphon Soul but he wasn't expecting the 2nd which won me the game.
Anyway, I'm not sure how well this will do higher up on the ladder but it certainly runs o.k. at the lower end... Have fun...
Replacements
Countess Ashmore -> Loot Hoarder
Harrison Jones -> Corrosive Sludge for the body
Crushing Walls -> Flanking Strike or Wing Blast
Missing Deathstalker Rexxar and Harrison Jones, I can probably substitute an Ooze for Jones or craft him since he's classic but Rexxar is rotating in a year so I'd rather save my dust. Can I do without him? Would really like to try this deck otherwise.
I ended up crafting Rexxar, figured 1600 dust is worth a year of fun, there are a ton of decks it's used in, and I even built another control variant myself that's also fun to play: https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1101043-control-hunter
Finally a deck I can use my freebie Emeriss in. How important, do you think, Countess Ashmore and Crushing Walls are?
