Thank you so much for all the support you gave to this deck, as I promise, I wrote a guide to enjoy it.
Edit 1: New video against Spiteful Druid!
Edit 2: This deck loves 22/05's nerf!
Match Up
It's very difficult to say what is a bad match up, the power of this deck is the adaptivity, you can play well against control and aggro decks, because you have many removals (Explosive Trap, Deadly Shot, Wing Blast, Explosive Shot, Crushing Walls) and great value cards (Rhok'delar, Deathstalker Rexxar,Lesser Emerald Spellstone). Eventually, I can say you'll have some problems with Odd Paladin, Quest Rogue and Aggro Mage.
Mulligan
Remember, It's a Hunter, but most of all it's a midrange/control deck.
I absolutely suggest to ever keep in hand Candleshot and a secret (Rat Trap/Explosive Trap if your opponent has a fast deck). Now, if you're playing against an aggro, search for Unleash the Hounds/Deathstalker Rexxar/Animal Companion and Flanking Strike. If you're playing against a control deck, I recommend cards like Eaglehorn Bow/Lesser Emerald Spellstone/Deathstalker Rexxar/Rhok'delar and To My Side!.
Cards and Replacements
- Why Rat Trap? I wouldn't have guessed, but this card is great, nobody plays against it, and if your opponent has the coin and a fast deck, a beast 6/6 on turn 3-4 it's love!
- You can replace another Tracking, if you don't have a card in the list (the legendaries and the Spellstone aren't substitutable!)
- Crushing Walls is a powerful removal, but really slow. I suggest you to play just one copy in the deck.
- Where is Hunter's Mark? I tried it, but I didn't like it. You have many removals, for me this deck doesn't need it.
- Where are Grievous Bite/Freezing Trap? You can include these cards in the deck, if you want a stronger early game, replacing with Rat Trap or 1 Deadly Shot.
The deck will be updated over time with your suggestions, if you have a question/idea write it in the comments below! And please subscribe to my Youtube Channel.
Hey, guys. I absolutely LOVE this deck!! Hunter has long been my favorite class, and I always enjoy playing various Hunter decks. A while back I opened Rhok'delar, so I was glad to find a few decks that implemented it. I spent the dust to craft Deathstalker Rexxar and a few other core cards, made some minor replacement such as Freezing Trap in the place of Rat Trap, and I've been having a blast with it since.
I love it so much, that I made a video showcasing the deck! I incorporate one close call that turns into a loss, and explain where I went wrong. I also include a win, to show how to succeed with the deck. If you're interested, you could take a look at my video (and meet my pet snake) here: https://youtu.be/7x9Iae2FEv4?list=PLVMQqFJABF9YRW_P2xlIB-9G5FZM-gljM
Thanks so much for the awesome deck, hope you all are having as much fun with it as I am!
i think classic spell hunt with freezing traps is better cause it plays better with controls
I don't have the legendary weapon, the to my side cards and the crushing walls. Is it worth to craft them all? Been having really bad games whenever I go and craft stuff for a class so I'm on the fence :(
Thanks for the info! Will wait a bit and see how it turns out :)
So i ve been playing this deck on eu low rank(from rank 18, climbed to rank 14 in like 3 hours)
I dont like rat trap, i got it triggered only 2 times in 25+ games.
Here's the match ups i ve been facing and some results(no log, but i l try to describe):
Paladin:
Even 2w/4l(his cards have massive value and cta is insane,he refils board rly easy and his minion are much stronger then odd ones, if u dont draw lots of aoe and early deathknigh, ur fucked
Odd 5w/1l(u just prevent him from getting on a board)
Warlock:
Cube - 1w/6l i rly have no idea how u win this match up, u cant silence his voidlords; If u play ur spellstone on t5, u get hellfire'd, ur trying to face him, he just heals a lot from spellstones/ritual.Got wl to less then 5 health twice, they just healed back, tried to outvalue him with my dk, doesnt worked, else its rly hard match up or i just have no idea how to play it,
Druid
Agro 2w/2l(his board can get out of controll rly fast, + if he has spitefull at 6, its rly rly hard)
Hardonox 0w/4l(else i was drawing rly poorly all the games i had against it, else u just dont have enought damage to pierce throught all of that taunts, lategame ur doomed)
Priest:
I ve been playing mostly against some dragon/spitefull hybrids, went 3w/1l
Warrior:
I havent met any xd
Mage:
Controll: 1w/0l - ur dk outwalues mage's one if u dont let him get any elementals from ability, i won in a fatigue game
Tempo/face - 3w/2l - all depends on ur draw, u can lose it rly easy if u are drawing poorly and mage has good starting hand.
Shaman:
I rly have no idea against what archetypes i was playing, mostly agro ones, 3w/1l
Hunter:
Odd Face - 3w/3l - all about draw, if u are not drawing good, u will lose even to an ampty board odd hunter
Mirror - 1w/1l - mirror matches suck
Rogue:
Odd agro - 5w/1l - its actually easy to outrace it, got 4 wolf spellstone on t2 twice, got 2 concedes instantly ;)
Quest - 1w/0l - i think i got lucky with draws, should be a rly hard match up.
Maybe thats not a strongest/fastes deck to climb at low ranks, but its okay.
Rly enjoying playing that archetype, lots of fun.
This deck is insanely fun and it works better then it looks.
I am upvoting this deck and i thank you for sharing it.
Ps:Rat Trap aggro decks on turn 2 followed by an Explosive Trap works wonders.
Amazing deck for real ! I really enjoyed with it .
But i want to take your opinion in changing the Tracking to Flare or to other secret like Snake Trap for example.
If you have better idea to replace Tracking please feel free to talk .
Thanks .
How can Aggro mage be a problem if Explosive Runes won't be triggered anyway?
Great deck, i hace reached 3. My highest rank yet.
The thing is, i don't have Deathstalker Rexxar, does it make this deck imposible?
Do u really want to play Hunter? Or just curious if u can play the deck. I hit legend with Hunter this month a week ago that doesn't include Deathstalker if u wanted it.

Leeroy is the only legendary, if u need to replace him, a Reckless Rocketeer or a Silence effect will do.
Yes. I probably will sometime soon.
yes
Any deck works at rank 15 if you play properly.
It is a bit cheaper if you are interested.
In the video you topdeck a Snake Trap but its not on the list...
H-U-N-T-E-R
gimme legend now
Also, how do you beat CUbelock when you don't even have Freezing Trap?
It seems like you'd need to draw Rexxar really early on, because otherwise this deck has no win condition. I don't have Rhok-Delar, so maybe thats it, but considering most hunter spells are removal I suspect it wouldn't be that good. Feel free to tell me if I'm missing something though.
