Before anything, if you like this deck, please leave a like as it helps me quite a bit.
Hi guys, KiwiiNbacon here. For those who don't know me, I'm a multiple time legendary player on the NA server. I also do deck showcase videos on youtube once in a while.
While i made this deck for fun while preparing for a stream, I made this deck out and i'm glad to say it i full of potential and quite good on the ladder at the moment! The point of the deck is to out value your opponent by playing very strong minions and keep board presence as long as possible. To assist with that goal, the deck includes a bunch of removal. This deck is good against aggro and midrange decks.
Here's a Detailed Video Guide for Hard Match-ups
Gameplan
What you'll want to do during the game will be different from match to match but basically, you want to be reactive until you are able to play your big boys out. play your Freezing Trap and Wandering Monster play the Lesser Emerald Spellstone and make sure that your opponent doesn't overwhelm you. Deathstalker Rexxar will help get beasts out before you can play Kathrena Winterwisp. Once you have her and at least one Play Dead, go to town!
Mulligans
There are 2 cards that you will want to keep 95% of the time. Those cards are Candleshot and Deathstalker Rexxar. If you believe you are playing against aggro, be on the lookout for an Explosive Trap as well as Unleash the Hounds. If you think you will face control, try to keep Freezing Trap, Wandering Monster and/or Deadly Shot
Tips & Tricks
First of all, watching the video will help you understand which match-ups are difficult and in what situations you'll get with this deck. Overall your general game plan is divided in 2 stages. Survival stage and Control stage. there are 2 cards that can help you switch from a stage to the other. those cards are Kathrena and Rexxar. in order to get to that stage without dying, there are a few opponents that might give you some trouble.
Druids: Against druids, you can't afford using Rexxar right on turn 6 unless you know they are playing taunt druid because they will have tokens survive due to soul of the forest. make sure you have an explosive trap or taunt to back it up.
Even Warlocks: Keep either candleshot and hunter's mark or deadly shot because that giant is coming. those are the only things that you can do against it. oh! also, don't play spellstone unless you are ready for the good boiis to die because they will all burn.
Big Spell Mage: Abuse deathstalker's hero power and wait until you can charge in with your dino's for lethal. since it's charging damage, there isn't much they can do.
Card Choices
Candleshot: This is the early game defensive too that you need! it helps removing creatures with the upside of not taking damage while doing so, It works extremely well with Hunter's Mark
Hunter's Mark: Giants least favorite card, this will save you in many different match-ups. Combine with Candleshot for a very sad Even warlock!
Play Dead: This is required in order to get more good bois on the board.
Explosive Trap: This card alone can win you the game against paladins and druids. Keep it in hand during mulligan if facing those classes.
Freezing Trap: Freaking tempo. Excellent against control decks!
Wandering Monster: Best hunter secret, play this and get a 3 drop at a discount and protect your beautiful face!
Deadly Shot: Boom Headshot!
Stitched Tracker: Moar Big Bois.
Unleash the Hounds: Not too big, but still very good bois. They also help in aggro situations! must keep against paladins.
Dire Frenzy: Even moar Big Bois.
Flanking Strike: Have your good boi kill a man, good power swing.
Lesser Emerald Spellstone: Bringing in the pack of good bois. Game winning against midrange decks.
Deathstalker Rexxar: Stitching big bois together is his specialty. This card is literally one of the only ways to win in heavy control match-ups.
Swamp King Dred: He's a big boii and he's very good against paladin and druids. He literally eats anything he comes across.
Kathrena Winterwisp: She made friends with a bunch of good boys. The taught her boys tricks by playing dead, most of the time it doesn't work, they just show up to look at her.
King Krush: I mean... he's friends with kath and he also happens to be a big scary dinosaur, he runs really fast.
Carnivorous Cube: Contrary to popular belief, the copies gained from this creature are a size smaller. Do you really think you can fit 2 full size dinosaurs in there??
Also MOAR BIG BOIIS.
Witchwood Grizzly: Don't mess with him, he gets in a Dire Frenzy quite easily. Extremely strong against token and paladin.
Charged Devilsaur: Big boii, he aspires to be like his big bro Krush.
Thanks for all the support I will make more decks in the future :D________________________________________________________________________________________________________Don't forget to sub: https://www.youtube.com/user/CanadianRumPunch for more decks like this one in the future!
I hope you guys enjoy playing this deck as much as I did, and May the top decks be in your favor.

I've spent a lot of time with two of your decks, and both of them have struggled against early aggression. Just sayin'.
not as strong as other recruit hunter decks out there, cube seems to be a waste in this deck either way, you have no way to pop a cube without a play dead in hand (deck seems quite draw dependent) and missing lich king really does show up a lot, you end up taking face damage from smaller minions without him there to soak up potential face dmg
i feel like you don't understand how to record things. it doesn't take much setup and it takes 2 seconds to turn on. then you just go to youtube, upload it, and wait for it to finish processing while you are gone. it takes almost no time away. i upload videos to record my reactions so i can revisit them if i want.
lolz... youtube doesn't pay the bills? I have a career not a fulltime job and frankly legend is a joke to get. If you have time to waste making videos nobody watches you can surely make legend.
I just had a field day running over taunt druids and even warlocks, thanks. ;]
Is this better than the oozeling variation? You can get the chargers earlier with oozeling, but you can get more value with cube.
I guess i can thank you for me seeing this netdecked to hell on ladder...
Nice deck thanks dude
just laugh....the community here never ceases to keep giving.
Its a recruit hunter. Nothing here.
Swamp King Dred replace ? i dont have it.
At first i thought this was a joke. Its just a worse version of Recruit hunter.
Really glad to see this is working in standard. I played a similar deck in wild before this expansion with Eggs/Feign Death/Terrorscale Stalker/Loot Hoarder as the early game instead of the secrets package. I like the addition of Dire Frenzy though to give a bit more of a consistency in beasts since I often ran out of them with Kathrena pulls.
As shown in the video, this shit is so good coupled with the bear against token! it's fantastic
Nice Deck , change one Card then rename the recruit Hunter and call it Big Boi , and always ever at rank5 why you dont show us some legend plays with this deck in your videos ?
Cause I don't ever have time to climb there, I have a full time job mah dude XD
I had a couple of matches piloting this deck yesterday and the result was devastating. From 7 to 5 without a loss. Very solid deck (or I was lucky enough not to find a bad match along my way up).
I dont have Swamp King Dred anyting to replace him whit someting ? Maybe second Dire Frenzy or Leeroy Jenkins ?
