Mulligan : Always keep Secretkeeper, Dwarven Sharpshooter, Phase Stalker, Zephrys the Great and Ursatron in hand. You might want to keep 1 secret if you already have Secretkeeper and you play first.
Vs Embiggen Druid : Deadly Shot Primordial Explorer Rotnest Drake if you already have early game cards.
Vs Hunter and Paladin : Springpaw Desert Spear or Stormhammer Snake Trap Animal Companion
Vs Rogue : Rat Trap Desert Spear
Vs Priest : Animal Companion Deadly Shot Dragonbane
There are the most common matchup I faced, might add some tips later.
slays priests, good job!
What is a good sub for Veranus?
Siamat
I forgot to mention that i do not have Siamat and i'm not planning on crafting him
This deck is REALLY, REALLY good. Went from lvl 10-4 in one sitting, unsure about actual stats, however it took me approx 4 hrs to do so. I feel like Im able to control the board with no problem, and also the damage output seem really great. Stormhammer feels like the MVP of this deck so far. Play SH the turn BEFORE you drop a dragon and you are set for quite a few turns.
Also Veranus is insane(use it with Zephrys for amazing boardclear), this combo is king vs Embiggen Druid.
However, I just cant get the Boompistol to work. It always seems so awkward to play, typically I play it on turn 10+. If I play it on turn 5 my opponent always answers it with what seems like the PERFECT card every time. I tried swapping it with Faceless Corruptor, but in literally 15+ matches I DID NOT DRAW IT ONCE! So the jury is still out on that one.
Anyways, this deck is much fun, and always feel like I have a chance to come back.
Biggest tip: if you have two secrets in hand and unsure which to play, think aloud and try to find a reason to play each of them. If you play the correct one, the game will snowball in your favor, play the wrong one and you shall suffer.
last thoughts: Phase Stalker is really good on curve, but as mentioned above it does not allow you to choose which secret you play. Sometime It is best NOT to Phase Stalker + Hero Power, but instead Phase Stalker + something else.
no Kill Command because of Zuljin?
Kill Command is a great card even with Zuljin, but actually we don't have many beast in the deck to consistently activate it, and it's hard to remove something useful to make room for it
Great deck I love it! I've reached a win rate of 74% 14-5 at rank 3
Boompistol is so good against all other highlander decks which are a pretty important part of the meta right now
Hey, glad you like it, Highlander Hunter perform very well in the meta and also reward good players !
Yeah Boompistol is great against other Highlander deck and Galakrond in general, it's just hard to define how good it is since you don't know your opponent hands. Also, the fact that the large majority of meta is Druid make it less impactful, but I'm still running it.
