Secret Hunter was and will always be one my favorite decks.And with the success I found with it in the current expansion I felt like it's worth sharing it!What makes it so good is that it can generate more value/threats than most decks can deal with.

Deck Guide :
First of all thanks for checking the deck means a lot to me and hope you will like it,now to the guide!
The deck is a secret/beast archetype where you use your beasts while getting some support from your secrets in order
to outvalue your opponent.
And it is cause of the above that it does well both against aggro and control match-ups should you have a proper opening
hand.
Some of the combos that helped me win most of my games are Dire Frenzy Hyena Alpha or Unleash the Beast while sometimes
I even did it to Springpaw to beat the aggro and have an some low mana rush minions to answer later threats.Huffer is another excellent candidate for Dire Frenzy since you get a charge minion with a 7/5 body!
While Master's Call is great try to use the second one after you used Dire Frenzy to increase your hand with useful minions
that have boosted stats.
Hunter's Pack is an amazing card,and one of the best hunter SoU cards, as well since the secret is always useful to use for Hyena Alpha and due to the limited weapons Hunter has in standard getting Eaglehorn Bow or Gladiator's Longbow is quite the value for the deck.
Considering Zul'jin , he is probably the best card in the deck and the later you play him the more the value you get from
this card.I won at least 5 matches caused of him since he creates both a board and fills my hand so if you play him late in
the game try to have an empty hand since it will be filled by Zul'jin!
Also try to keep Kill Command to finish the opponent off since Kill Command x2 + Hero Power + Eaglehorn Bow = 15 dmg for 8 mana.
Concerning the mulligan it is pretty much the same both for control and aggro match up with a few changes.
You always wanna keep a secret(or two if you're playing second)and a low cost minion like Shimmerfly or Springpaw.
Eaglehorn Bow and Animal Companion are great for both as well but in aggro I usually keep Scavenging Hyena as well while
in control match ups I will keep Marked Shot or Unleash the Beast.
Should I play second and have a secret in my opening hand I keep a Hyena Alpha as well since I can use her at Turn 3
and Dire Frenzy her at turn 4 to have way more value later in the game as well.
Other than that I try to keep control of the board without using too much of my resources in order to not let his AoE cards
be of value.
That's all thanks again for reading my guide and let me know if you have any questions in the comments.

Thanks a lot Elementalcore 100 for the stunnin deck spotlight!
Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I think I have an extra pair if you want one.
That's really good deck , good work :D
Glad you like it.And I just wanted to play hunter like I used to play when I started HS.Guess that worked out after all xD
Dont know how you have an 80 something percent win rate. I'm at rank 5 and have a 2% winrate. This deck must only be good at shit ranks
Friend of mine climb from rank 10 to 2 with the deck.Have you tried playing in normal first to get a hold of the combos?
Scalehide would be a good add to this deck, especially since you run dire frenzy and it can help you stabilize. Just food for thought though. I think it looks like a solid deck and have played against decks like it.
Somehow this thing slipped my mind xD Thanks a lot for the suggestion will try to fit it in xD
Thanks.Glad you like it
I Love Hunter decks.... always good fun to play them...... with this deck I found me some trouble around Rank 10 and played 50-50 hardball ...... so it's fun but not real competitive ( IMHO ).......could also be my skill level...... ( one or the other )....
Or you probably got unlucky since I know people who find success with it both at rank 10 but at rank and above as well
I'm myself a huge hunter player (by far the class I've played the most), and I also love for a very long time the secret Hunter, but I feel like this deck plays fair cards in a very unfair environnement... It can pull out wins against most classes, but most of the time I don't manage to do nothing against Warrior and its taunt package, against druid that goes crazy and doesn't care your poor 6/6 rat when it can generate a huge board and taunts with two cards etc
The decks has a lot of draw and card generation but loses too much tempo in the process, and most of the time the value of the cards is not enough in the late game. Dire Frenzy works well when you manage to get the board but even then you don't always manage to put it on the right target.
I'm hard stuck at rank 14-15 while I usually play at rank 4-8 with not a lot of efford (just enough to get the golden epic at the end of the month)
For improvement, I added a second deadly shot that is most of the time a wincon against these kind of decks and that is far less RNG dependant on Zul'jin.
I'll continue to play this deck for a while to try to improve my gameplay with the knowledge of the new expansion, but I think that after one and a half wonderful year, Hunter is finally falling into tier 2-3...
As a person who started using this deck around rank 17 and rose up to 12 in a matter of 1-2 days(then I stopped playing ranked cause I got no time)I never faced any of the problems you faced since should the draw be ok I usually won my matches while the loses were mainly cause of a bad last draw.Still everyone has his own way of playing so changes can always be made to fit your style.Hope you will get able to reach 5 soon enough,Best of luck!
I really enjoyed this deck quite a bit and not only does it have great late game potential but it can also be a menace early game too. Well built thank you for the amazing deck.
Glad you like it thanks for the deck spotlight!
Double post. Sorry.
I switched out one Shimmerfly with anIronbeak Owl . You'll lose out on the extra spell from the Shimmerfly, but I kept finding myself wishing for a Silence effect in many of my Hunter matches lately. Ironbeak Owl keeps the beast synergy (as opposed to Spellbreaker). So far it's been a good tradeoff.
Yeah it is a nice change and good to keep the deck balance as well
I have been having such a great time with this deck, i'd recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time while climbing :D
I made a video showcasing the deck in all of its glory, I hope you all enjoy!
Really glad you like it man and thanks for showcasing it! <3
