Mulligan:
always keep: Helpless Hatchling, Dire Mole or Springpaw -> Crackling Razormaw, Dire Wolf Alpha or Scavenging Hyena -> Bearshark or Animal Companion
vs aggro: Headhunter's Hatchet, Revenge of the Wild (when you already have minions to play - it helps in board control (trades) and allows you to resurrect board)
vs control: Master's Call (you can also keep it when you have good mana curve because it helps to find more steam), Deathstalker Rexxar
!cards that are mentioned first are better to keep!
!just try to play on mana curve!
Card Replacements:
Deathstalker Rexxar -> Sated Threshadon or Volcanosaur (both thing are not close in terms of power level but it's still a huge threat)
Bittertide Hydra -> Tundra Rhino (great cards because it allows you to deal more points of face dmg with other beasts and it synergies with Revenge of the Wild - me go face? yes)
Cards that might be included:
Jeweled Macaw - great 1-drop and it's another way to get a beast
Tracking - sometimes you really need specific card. For example Kill Command to finish off the opponent or Deathstalker Rexxar against control deck.
Hunter's Mark - might help against big taunt minions. That's the only option because we cant include Spellbreaker (it's not a beast)
Unleash the Hounds - synergies with scavenig hyena and helps against decks that creates wide board
Vicious Fledgling - decent stats, hit your opponents face once (pray to RNGesus to get windfury) -> profit
Stranglethorn Tiger - it will survive almost every board clear. It's means that you have guaranteed 5 points of face dmg (taunt is cheat)
Why this deck is so powerful?
It's a consistent deck with super powerful mana curve. If you don't know what to do just go face ... but seriously there are a lot of great synergies that make this deck great. Not only early game is the strongest thing about this deck, but we also have a lot of threats for a mid game (Savannah Highmane, Bittertide Hydra - can be discounted with Helpless Hatchling) we also shouldn't run out of steam thanks to Master's Call or Deathstalker Rexxar (it helps a lot against control match-ups). When you will be forced to trade you can resurrect your minions with Revenge of the Wild (it's even better with rush or charge minions because you can attack once again)
First off I am a huge fan and I have always enjoyed your budget decks. Second I made a version of this deck without dire wolf but instead a hunters mark (for giant taunts) and baited arrow (cause it is a new card that I think could do pretty well but I am not sure yet). If you haven't watched Jelen's video please do that he is the first one to do this AND its his guide, but if you want more info and gameplay here it is XD.
Deck is good , but spell hunter fuck everthing now
Not everything, control decks with a lot of AoE or healing beat it most of the time, odd mage with Jaina for instance is a sure lose for spell hunter, unless very good draw and kill before jaina come into play, quest priest is also stoping it, turn 7 shuffle the minions into the deck and to my side and roh`delar are useless.
Why doesnt this deck include Dinomancy
because that card if drawn in early is good, if drawn late is trash. is not a good card overall
TBH I never liked Bittertide Hydra, so I added 1xTundra Rhino and Halazzi, the Lynx and it seems that it works pretty well!
with that you could even include quest and play it after securing the board for an extra win condition.
Very good deck!!
I was at raking 21 now i`m on 19.
just 1 loss to odd mage.
I replaced one Hydra with Oondastah
I just got Halazzi, the Lynx and i wonder if its good or not to include in this deck, any suggestions of replacement?
It's actually very similar to the pre-made Animal Instinct Deck from Blizzard. This deck is strong like that but not as strong as recruit or DR hunter- but cheaper
Any replacement for master call?
Not as effective: one of Hunter's weaknesses is its ability to draw and Master's Call is insanely good in a Beast deck.
If this reason doesn't convince you to craft it, I'd recommend Tracking because of its slightly similar effect
The deck works just fine if you run Tracking instead as long as you have Rexxar for the long game.
that card is why this deck is viable
I ve got the same issue on ladder. I play versus spell hunter one game every two, so is kinda a loss every two games.
I really would like to enjoy this deck but that match-up is underwhelming.
Maybe some replacement could help?
Dont crafr it , now all lader is spell hunter , it just fuck this deck
Hi, how do you use Bittertide Hydra? I just met shaman and got killed throug the volcano spell :D
Great deck for laddering with control or dragon warrior, crush those hunters with their puny beasts.
Awesome list! Really shows off the power of Master's Call and Headhunter's Hatchet. Plated a few games with the deck, check them out;
(Games start at 4:03)
The only card that felt weak was Helpless Hatchling, other than that this deck is tight! Hunter has a lot of great new tools so it'll be interesting to see how the archetype evolves.
Great job as always mate! Looking forward to your next deck <3
