After buying some wild booster packs (for the 1 in 10 legendary) I ended up with an Acid Maw. The general consensus of the card: it is completely useless. Well, I found a beaut use for him! He is possibly one of the best Hunter cards for cruising through The Lich King's second phase.

This deck utilises the budget theme of using the Scavenging Hyena. Only it's not game over if you hit turn 7. I don't know about you, but I just could not out scavange by turn 7! Basically, start the game in a similar way. Throw out Alleycats if you have them, or whatever one-drop beasts you have. I used Raptor Hatchlings, as I love them for the flavour. Stonetusk Boar, however, may be just as, if not more, useful. Swamp Leech could also work, gaining a bit of that life you lose right up!

So, whatever you do, protect your hyenas. They grow pretty quick. While I assume they can reach lethal by turn 7, I never succeeded in this. What you want to do is control the board. It's not all that hard, as ol' Lich King is a bit predictable. Don't be scared to use Tracking or Arcane Shot on turn 1. I used Arcane Shot to the face turn 1 on the run I won! Huzzuh! (I also would have had to endure another turn had I not!)

Turn 6: You want the board clear of enemy minions when you end turn. If you can't clear it, it may be worth a reset. Play Unstable Ghoul, and smash face with your minions and left over mana.

Turn 7: Acidmaw time! When the Lich King flops out his Frostmourne, he won't attack! I'm not sure if he'll hold out indefinitely, I just blasted his minions away with spells and traded with my little beasts. Doing this kept my Scavenging Hyena alive and growing, fast!

Turn 8+: Control the board and keep striking face. Hunting Mastiffs and Unleash the Hounds are really helpful here. If Acid Maw is still alive, it's constant one-for-one trades that keep boosting your hyena.

Not sure if you'd want to craft Acidmaw specifically to beat the Lich King. If he's in your collection, however, and you're yet to beat, I hope this deck helps!
