The faster post-buffs meta is making it more difficult to succeed with Bomb Hunter on a budget. A faster tempo plan is needed over a slower Whelp plan, but it can still climb to Legend with this new approach.
Full deck guide of the post-buffs version:
Before the nerfs and buffs, this archetype was probably the best budget deck around. I played the previous list from rank 5 to rank 3 without losing a single game at the beginning of May season.
Full deck guide of the pre-nerfs version:
While I enjoyed climbing other parts of the ladder with this deck, I have to say that it is particularly frustrating to play against the population at Rank 6 (~100 games). Hunter, Shaman, and Rogue account for 50% of my opponents and these are all poor matchups in my experience. Favorable matchups (mage, warrior) seem to be nonexistant. While I'm not a master Hearthstone player by any stretch, I don't find a lot of room to maneuver when I'm dead on turn 6. Below are some stats from my recent frustration:
Class W/L Population
Hunter 10/16 25%
Rogue 3/7 10%
I happen to have Obliviotron, worth subbing in for say a Missile Launcher?

20-0, by far the best budget deck ive experienced. Answers on almost everything. Tho u gotta think a couple of steps ahead.
First, just wanted to say Thanks. Great guides and help to those of us who are coming back to HS after a couple years out.
I understand the need/usefulness of having budget decks, and I for one appreciate it immensely. But as we "evolve" our collections it would be interesting to add something "more expensive" to these decks. Right?
What would be your immediate "expensive additions" to this deck? Epics and Legendaries alike.
Thanks again for all the great info and deck guides!
I happen to have 2 copies of the epic card nine lives, do you think its worth including in this deck, if so what should I swap it for? Thanks! Love your decks.
Not worth it. Nine Lives is a better fit to the slower Mech Hunter that does not run cards such as Mecharoo, Explodinator, and Replicating Menace. They fill your Deathrattle discover pool with low-value minions.
