*Sqwaaak* *Sqwaaak* *Sqwaaak* That's the sound of an army of buffed up Young Dragonhawk s bursting down your opponent in a single turn! If you're looking for the next best way to OTK your opponent, this for-fun Hunter deck is exactly that! Full write-up and video posted below! Enjoy :)
Mulligan:
Priest, Warrior, Druid- These match-ups usually don't pressure us as much so we want to look for our combo pieces ASAP. We want to look for Dire Frenzy, Young Dragonhawk, Master's Call, Tundra Rhino, and Tol'vir Warden. But most importantly, our Dire Frenzy because all the other combo pieces are minions and can be tutored by Master's Call or Stitched Tracker.
Warlock, Shaman, Mage- These match-ups have moderate pressure so we still want to be looking for Dire Frenzy as always, but want to be looking for some tempo removal cards as well like Flanking Strike, Wing Blast, Baited Arrow, Candleshot and Hunter's Mark. Deadly Shot is a good keep if you feel like you might be up against even Warlock.
Rogue, Odd Pally, Hunter- These match-ups are usually the hardest for us, naturally, as any combo deck. So here we want to be looking for our cheaper removal such as Flanking Strike, Candleshot, Wing Blast, Grievous Bite and Unleash the Hounds. If you have a couple of removal spells and a Dire Frenzy I would keep the Dire Frenzy as well but we are not aggressively looking for it as we would be in a control match-up.
Strategy:
Our main combo is to play Young Dragonhawk and Dire Frenzy on turn 5. Then we use Tol'vir Warden to draw 2 of our Young Dragonhawk s, and use Master's Call and/or Stitched Tracker to draw 1 or 2 more. Then whenever you have enough Young Dragonhawk s for lethal you play Tundra Rhino and unleash your Dragonhawk army!
The reason this deck works a lot better now than before in the past is because of Master's Call. I know a lot of you are going to say "But Funkimonki, you aren't going to draw 3 beasts with it!" and that's exactly why it's good :). Let me explain... With our combo pieces like Young Dragonhawk, Tol'vir Warden and Tundra Rhino we only want 1 of each in our hand. Casting Master's Call will draw exactly the 1 copy from our deck we need while, Stitched Tracker will draw us a copy so we are more likely to draw the same combo piece again. Along these lines, be careful when using Tracking. You don't want to accidentally hit 2 or 3 of your 1 copy combo pieces in the same Tracking so it's usually best to use it when you are looking for the last piece of the combo. Other than that, you pretty much just want to control the board as much as possible until you assemble all your combo pieces! I have had lethal as soon as turn 8 with this deck since we have so many ways to tutor for our combo pieces now! Also worth noting that some of the cards in here fill niche roles but aren't absolutely necessary to the combo: Emeriss is great against Warrior, Druid and quest Priest to get through all the armor and health. Deathstalker Rexxar is great against control classes, and a good removal tool against aggro. Sometimes you can even find a cheap zombeast that you can use with Tundra Rhino for your OTK. Zul'jin is mainly just more removal to help you survive longer.
Replacements:
Bloodmage Thalnos- Deadly Shot
Deathstalker Rexxar- Explosive Trap, Freezing Trap, Snipe, Wandering Monster
Emeriss- Deadly Shot, Explosive Trap, Freezing Trap, Snipe, Wandering Monster
Zul'jin- Deadly Shot, Explosive Trap, Freezing Trap, Snipe, Wandering Monster

Thanks, I love this deck, It's fun and logical, and i love the opportunity to have an OTK for Hunter, so I'm having fun experimenting it with several implementations. At the moment I'm mixing it with a top tier spell hunter and I'm enjoying it. Congratulations and my best wishes for your Twitch channel
Have you thought about beast master? Sticky body and can buff those dragon hawks and tundra rhinos further when tutoring for them?
Yep! He did cross my mind, however, we want as few of minions in our deck as possible so Stitched Tracker and Master's Call can always hit our combo pieces. The cool effect that he would give us (sometimes) doesn't outweigh the risk of not getting our combo pieces when we need them.
sorry my bad I meant as a cheaper(?) replacement for emeriss
oh ya, then that could work! I haven't tested it myself, but if you use it on the turn that you use Tol'vir Warden, it could potentially add 8+ damage to the combo. It would slow the deck down a bit, but it's worth a shot!
Hi man!!
Any replacement for Crushing Walls ?
HI! :). I'd replace it with another hard removal spell such as another copy of Deadly Shot.
How is Timberwolf for replacement emeris
That could work, as a non-legendary replacement. As long as you try to damage them a bit more throughout the game since Timber Wolf would only add 8 damage to your OTK. If you have Alexstrasza, that would be a better replacement for Emeriss, though, because then you could still perform the OTK if they have 11 or less armor (or 19 armor if you have 4 Young Dragonhawk). Otherwise, you could always use your Stitched Tracker to get another 1-2 copies of the buffed Young Dragonhawk so you can have 4 or 5.
How do you win against taunt druid/quest odd warrior/wall priest?
You don't, same as wall priest looses to the other 2 decks as well
Definitely a lot tougher. Against classes with armor like Druid or Warrior, or even quest/wall Priest, Emeriss is going to be your saving grace. Usually i'll try to save a Hunter's Mark (with Candleshot equipped) or Deadly Shot if I can, to break through a taunt on the turn I'm going for the OTK otherwise you might need a bit of luck and constant removal to find an opening on any particular turn. Worse case scenario, we always have Deathstalker Rexxar as a 1 card win-condition!
After the fun I had with your Luna deck I will no doubt try this, need to wait until I can re roll my play 5 1 drops quest though
That's awesome to hear!! I hope you have just as much fun with this deck! :).
is there a use for Emeriss becouse you got 2 cards in the deck that make use of this, exept when you get cards from Deathstalker Rexxar
Update of my comment...
Seen why and love its outcome, nice deck FunkiMonki
haha you beat me to your own question! ;P. And thanks! Glad you like it!
I can add to this also, just experienced the power of Emeriss . Played against a Deathrattle Priest and the person played Amara, Warden of Hope . I played Emeriss with 2 Frenzied Young Dragonhawk in hand. Opponent got me down to 3 health while he/she was at 39 health and 3 armor. I top decked another Young Dragonhawk with Tundra Rhino in hand for exact lethal.
It was glorious!
This deck was a fantastic experience, Definitely one of the most fun Hunter decks I have played in a very long time!
I did make a video showcasing the full OTK in all of its glory, I really hope you all enjoy it
p.s. Even a control Odd warrior can;t do shit against this once everything is in place !!!
wr?
My win rate is just shy of 50% in ranked at rank 5ish. But, like I mentioned in the post, it's not going to be a deck to climb to legend with or anything and is mostly just for fun :)
