Greetings, Traveller!

This is my version of Reno Hunter, a Deathrattle-Centered, control-heavy deck, with 3 main win conditions.

Win Condition 1: Outstanding anybody with the infinite value of Rexxar DK

Win Condition 2: N'Zoth

Win Condition 3: Brann BronzebeardDinotamer Brann = 16 Burst damage, or Emperor Thaurissan + the 2 Branns + Zola the Gorgon to gain 2 extra Dinotamer Branns into hand Besides the 16 SMOrc damage.


Gameplay


Mulligan:
-Against Everything: Mad ScientistZephrys the Great
-Against any Aggro: CandleshotReno JacksonMind Control Tech
-If Board orianted Aggro: Explosive TrapUnleash the Hounds 
-Against Control: Deathstalker RexxarStitched Tracker
-If got Cloaked Huntress, any Secret
-It is also acceptable to keep Deathstalker Rexxar against an Aggro for AoE that doesn't kill you until 6

Early-Midgame:
You don't have to be agressive most of the time, however if you are against any Combo deck, and you couldn't find Dirty Rat or Skulking Geist in time, you must be the agressor. If you can play your threats fast enough, you can end the game with Double Brann on curve. Otherwise, you only have to care about survive, that is supported by lots of heal compared to a hunter.

Late Game:
It is probably yours. Except from a few deck, that will be mentioned at matchups, a few can stand infinite hand value, and Deathrattle waves of N'zoth [If you are greedy enough, you can have up to 5 N'Zoths by Brann Bronzebeard, Sticthed Tracker, and Zola the Gorgon, but 2-3 are normal] Against Control, you can manipulate your Deathrattle minion pool by not playing the weaker ones.  


Matchups:
Control Warriors: Almost guaranted win. They dont really have the tools to outvalue you except Archivist Elisiana that is Dirty Rat-able. Or just simply send 2 King SMOrc-s to their face.
Other Reno decks, Sn1pLock: Surprisingly good chances, you just have to realise very well, when you have to be greedy and when not.
Big Priest: You have 2 options to beat everyone's favourite deck. Obviously, kill them before they could do serious impact on board, or find Sylvanas (+ Nine Lives) and/or Zephrys + Hex in time.
Druid: Mulligan for Skulking Geist, and then realise it's an Aggro Druid. Jokes aside, it is worth to risk with that. 
Any Infinite Shudderwock/Otk deck: Considering you can't mulligan directly for Dirty Rat, you have to pray to the spirits of RNG to find it in time. A Brann BronzebeardDirty RatZola the Gorgon + 2x Dirty Rat probably pulls the devil out of them.
Other Hunters: Pretty good chances. It doesn't even matter to find Rexxar earlier than them, you can outvalue them in ALL cases. And it's not that impossible to survive.
Sercet Mage: Well, you CAN win against them. If you want to tech for them, you have way better chances, but I don't think that is worth. If you find Reno before you are dead, you will be able to restabilise.

Possible Card Replaces:
Dirty RatMind Control TechSkulking Geist ->
Wild BloodstingerFlareEater of SecretsGluttonous OozeSpellbreaker : You can always change your tech cards. Wild Bloodstinger is probably even better Than Dirty rat at all, its only drawback is the less combo potential.

Pressure Plate -> Rat TrapFreezing Trap: Other secrets are pretty important, but Pressure Plate can be replaced depending on your style and dust.

Sludge BelcherSylvanas Windrunner
-> Rotten Applebaum  Better vs Aggro, worse in value

Zilliax -> Antique Healbot: Its highly recommended to own Zilly, but Healbot can be an acceptable replace for them.

Deadly ShotFlanking Strike -> Powershot

An that's all. Thanks for reading, I hope you liked. GL & HF!
