HeyGuys C4mlann here,
I haven't posted decks here for a while, but had an insane climb with Dragon hunter on 06-02-20 (shortly after Wing3 Galakrond's Awakening got released) and thought, I might share it. Took the deck from rank5 to Legend and almost top50 Legend on the APAC server in one take with around 80% Winrate. I also uploaded the whole run with 300% speed on Youtube, so if you want to have a large sample size of decisions and mulligans, go and check that out :)
The list itself has been around for some time and people had success with it before Galakrond's Awakening. Now with the new Dragon Rotnest Drake around, it is even better than before!
Mulligan basics: Mulligan for curve, always keep 1 drops, Stormhammer and Phase Stalker. Never keep Tracking or any traps (the only exception might be a Snake Trap going first while having a one drop vs another aggro deck, but it is easier to stick to the basic rule)
I will try to answer questions, so feel free to leave a comment!
Well so far after +~50 games I got 73% wins. Got me to rank 4, truly dominant.
There is a big problem with priest, as usual when u play Hunter, other than that it really does amazing amount of dmg. Totally recommended.
Hovewer i've added two explosives traps for frienzied in case of other rush decks and some "board control"
I really only play maybe 45 min every couple days so I'm sure I'm not handling the deck 100% efficiently, but still got from rank 12 to rank 5 with only 4 losses; all of which were against either rez priest or gala warrior. Just struggling to out damage the mass heals/armor and taunts. Those matchups at this point for me are 50-50 depending on if i can get god draw mulligans to end by turn 5-6. Very solid deck, thanks for sharing.
Is this good against Galakrond Rogue, Galakrond Warrior, Embiggen Druid and Highlander Mage? Which one is easy and which one is bad matchup? Thanks
Yes, yes, and yes, it's good against all of them.
Galakrond Warrior can be tough because of all of their healing, armor, rush minions and extra attacks. This is probably your toughest matchup other than mirror. Really you need to pound away with small minions early, then hope to catch them for an 11 point damage combo on turn 7 with hammer, hero power, and Leeroy. Just keep firing, don't let up.
Embiggen druid is only difficult if they find their Embiggens early. If not they don't have the tools to withstand your early aggro game. Get Frenzied Fellwing on the board early and hit face relentlessly if you can. They'll try to swing tempo their way with quest, you swing it back with Rotnest Drake and the big hammer. As always pedal to the metal and go face.
Galakrond Rogue, you farm them. Highlander Mage, you farm them. Reno's "poof" can be a problem with Highlander Mage so try to always have a spare dragon in hand and go ham with Stormhammer and hero power.
Seriously, this deck just does the work for you. I'm a mediocre player and I'm convinced I could use this deck to get Legend if I put in the time. We really need to enjoy before they roll out the nerf train.
In my experience it has good match-ups vs Embiggen and Highlander mage or any slower deck.
If any Galakrond deck draws the nuts, you kind to have the God draw yourself to stay in it. Once they get to Galakrond they typically just crush you and you run out of steam.
But winning Rogue or Warrior isn't impossible.
just hit legend with this! used the variant from hsreplay found here: https://hsreplay.net/decks/bJ0sisGPrwzq6CU7Z6BwCf/#tab=overview
from rank 20 to legend for the first time in about a week and a half, previously peaked rank 6 3-4 years ago. this deck's early game and turn 5 tempo swing with Rotnest Drake is insane.
took a little less than 200 wins (had 302ish wins on my hunter before i started, now 1 win away from golden hunter)

thanks for the deck C4mlann!
Yeah, that version is really good.
Sadly I'm not so much of a aggro player to stick to this deck but gratz on making it into legend!
This. Deck. Shreds.
Really no other way to say it. I just won five games in a row from rank eight to six like it was nothing. None of them were even close. I know everyone loves Tracking but I dropped those in favor of more secrets and another Whelp. Phase Stalkers earn their keep in the first couple of turns while it still counts and the extra draw lets me just keep firing. That's the real secret with this deck, just put your foot on the gas and don't let up. I guess I've dumbed down C4mlann's version of the deck a bit but I only play a few hours a week so I need something that is easy to pilot without overthinking it. Going to bed now, win more tomorrow!
I'm on rank 2 right now, but there so many lacky rogue and I don't know how to play against them. Any tips?
keep up your tempo early game and take favorable trades, Stormhammer is especially good for this. turn 5 Rotnest Drake to remove whatever they play, and hopefully have Leeroy Jenkins for the finisher. If they deal with your aggression very well, it's probably lost because you won't be able to keep up late game. Rogue isn't the easiest matchup but if you have a good start it shouldn't be too bad for you
Great base deck, took me nicely from rank 18 to rank 10, but then I hit an absolute wall and couldn't progress. Made some changes to get to this deck: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1331528-thorsomes-dragon-hunter and started winning again. (C4mlann hope you don't see that as copying your deck/stealing your thunder, if you do let me know and I'll remove it!)
rank 4 right now with this deck, started from 24
Glad you like it, I'm at rank 5 with 5 stars at the moment, highest I've ever been :)
I have a 40% win rate with this deck. It's obvious laddering with this deck doesn't work at all
Sorry it doesn't work for you.
That sounds like I'm either an unskilled player or crazy unlucky. But I really think it's the deck. It's so easy overwhelmed especially with that overwhelming meta going round rn
4-6 at rank 9 (down to 10). Maybe this plays better at high ranks where all the trash decks are weeded out.
Hated this deck, got out of cards every game and opponent didnt have any problem keeping up early game, late game is just dead.
Added two Big Ol' Whelps to this deck which helps out big time. Two more dragons, 5/5 big guys, and draw you more cards.
