Hearthpwn

Hello everyone, so i have been experimenting a lot with hunter, just to come up with a highlander hunter like everyone else.

I decided to do something unique and here it is.

As everyone including myself deemed Unseal the Vault invalid, i took at further look into the case and tried everything from Mad Summoner, to fishflingers and nothing really caught attention, everyone but Starving Buzzard.

2 hours and 30 games later and I've now gotten a whole other deck, a deck full of beasts as blizzard proposed it.

The only problem that persists through and through from every deck list was, to have the necessary draw/generate. with 2x Hunter's Pack 2x Starving Buzzard 2x Master's Call and 1x Cybertech Chip this problem is gone, Cybertech Chip can be replaced with halazzi the lynx.

Your goal is ultimately to Dire Frenzy according to the matchup, Vicious Scalehide for aggro, Scavenging Hyena for control etc, even more, specific than that tbh.

whilst doing that you want to make sure to apply a pressure high enough to keep the enemy on the toes and for you quest, but also build up mandatory combos in hand such as, unleash the hound/swarm of locust [/card]+ [card]scavenging hyena, or Desert Spear + Starving Buzzard and Snake Trap. 

I am going to try and push this to legend within the next couple days. stay tuned!

 Mulligan guide

in this mulligan, I will cover objectives as well as start hand. Nevertheless, I can never make a mulligan guide for every individual match, therefore I will try and give you the tools to make the decision, ultimately experience is the best tool and only you can get it.

always consider tracking on bad hands, or when you want to burn for a faster cycle.

I've been asked a lot why we are running 1 type of secret, Snake Trap. this is the only beneficial secret for the deck whatsoever, people knowing the deck will have the advantage of knowing it to be a Snake Trap... this causes them to attack face, which is a game turner for us... I've dropped it tour 2 often, for them to keep attacking my face, once Starving Buzzard is out they WILL clear it, which is equivalent to either an overextended clear spell or 3-draws-for-a-trade. very valid when played propper, also we have the Hunter's Pack to make our secrets less predictable

combos and strategies

Snake Trap and Desert Spear up before Starving Buzzard will start a draw fest, to avoid overdraws on Revenge of the Wild is simple, everything left from the Starving Buzzard will not trigger a draw, everything right will. placement of Starving Buzzard is everything.

if you meet a class with high board pressure, save your Scavenging Hyena forUnleash the Hounds, don't drop it with Springpaw, as this card is better at securing on fewer minions.

Dire Frenzy is the key to success in many Coin games, drop a viscous scalehide tour 2, and coin Dire Frenzy tour 3. this combo has a whopping 90% winrate out of 12 samples.

For controlling match-ups it can be hard to pull of the hero power for face damage, use Dire Frenzy on your Tundra Rhino so you can be super gready about him.

halazzi the lynx is a great tool i would add it instead Cybertech Chip, nevertheless, halazzi the lynx is 5 cost, and cannot be played before tour 6, requires a low hand, and blows to draw in your start hand

and last but not least.. GO FACE!
