Decided to post this list as it was my first time getting to legend in hearthstone. I used pretty much the basic dragon hunter list. It is a very good deck when piloted properly and can win games very quickly. I did make one change that seemed to help out the deck. I swapped 1x Imprisoned Felmaw for 1x Pack Tactics. This was a change made since a lot of people were playing around explosive trap so having this definitely messed with some opponents and lead to a win.
Mulligans
Our ideal keeps should be
Without Coin - 1 drop, 2 drop, 3 drop
With Coin - 1 drop , 1 or 2 drop , 2 drop , 3 drop
1 drop keeps - Dwarven Sharpshooter, Blazing Battlemage, Tracking
Never keep Stonetusk Boar as we want to fetch him from the deck using Scavenger's Ingenuity.
2 drop keeps - Corrosive Breath, Imprisoned Felmaw, Phase Stalker, Scavenger's Ingenuity, Faerie Dragon
Don't keep any secrets as it benefits us more to get them out of our deck with Phase Stalker.
3 drop keeps - Primordial Explorer, Stormhammer
Don't keep Kill Command since this is more of a face spell to be used later so in most game we want to mulligan it and use more effective removal like Corrosive Breath (deals damage to board and face).
As far as Rotnest Drake and Evasive Feywing go these are far too slow for an opening hand and we should mulligan them.
Example Hands
Without Coin - Blazing Battlemage, Corrosive Breath, Stormhammer, Faerie Dragon
With Coin - Dwarven Sharpshooter, Imprisoned Felmaw, Stormhammer, Primordial Explorer or Faerie Dragon
Coin gives us a lot of accelerated plays that can help us push more damage.
Some Examples are -
Example 1 - Turn 1 - Blazing Battlemage, Coin, Blazing Battlemage
4 points of power on board on turn 1 is pretty hard for most decks to deal with.
Example 2 - Turn 1 - Coin, Imprisoned Felmaw
One of my favorite turn ones. Sets up a very effective turn 3 for us.
Example 3 - Turn 2 - Coin, Stormhammer (attack) Turn 3 - Primordial Explorer
Getting out Stormhammer and getting in damage or clearing any threats let us set up our cards for the coming turns. Primordial Explorer is best used with this example since it discovers another dragon.
Tips and Tricks
Corrosive Breath - You can target your own minion and it will still deal three damage to the enemy hero when you are holding a dragon.
Primordial Explorer - Some advice I will give is really take some time and think of what dragon you really need for state of the game. If its turn 6, your opponents at 10 life and you have the choice to grab Ysera or some more cost effective dragon. Take the cost effective one. Just because it is a strong dragon doesn't mean that we need it to win the game.
STATS
Thanks for viewing my decklist, I wish you best of the luck on the legend grind.
EDIT: found some time to play again, and won against rogue.... Again!!!
Still 100% WR.
Built the deck and just won against rogue. 100%WR!!! (kappa)
Jokes aside, i replaced Imprisoned Felmaw with Dragonbane. Even with RNG, it can kill a minion, or hit for 7 to the face, which is pretty good imo.
WJust found this deck, played it for 13 wins in a row to legend, first time ive ever got legend :)
Thanks
your deck is trash vs rogue you just got lucky and didint queue vs them much
Yeah I know its bad vs rouge i went 3W and 6L but that still is a quarter of my matches played so I think I played against them a good amount.
if you keep geting queue vs rogue game after game there no way you climb anything with this deck and you see so many rogue and most of the game you face rogue you lost vs them so it just a matter of luck not getting match vs them
Doesn't it say 24% vs Rogue? Actually seems like alot of his games were vs rogue
yeah and he lost most of then and barely play vs any druid when they are a populair he he just got a lucky run this deck is trash you get screw by any taunt ppl put up
I love this deck! It's cheap, it's quick and super effective, nothing better to climb at this price!
I made a video showcasing the deck and its power, I hope you all enjoy!
Hey glad you like the list and ill be sure to check out the video.
Nice deck I used it from D5 to legend with a 67% WR 32-16.
but i changed Pack Tactics for another in Imprisoned Felmaw
Yeah at the start i ran 2x Imprisoned Felmaw but there were many situations where it was underwhelming. Congratulations on Legend glad the deck could work for you.
haha thanks man i think having 2 of those on board at turn 2 won me games inmediatly btw i see people that say vs rogue is bad.. i got 11-2 agains rogue the bad matchup is against murloc paladin
This is overall good. Simple and easy to get used to. I only changed a bit.
Firstly, I replaced Imprisoned Felmaw with Ironbeak Owl so I have a strong counter against priests who comeback with their Khartut Defender when they have low hp.
Secondly, I don't have Rotnest Drake so I changed them with Toxic Reinforcements and Zixor, Apex Predator. Because I have them and they seem to be good additions.
Yeah I didnt want to run too many legends or epics since I was trying to keep it pretty budget friendly. Even though Card Rotnest Drake is an adventure card and that takes a bit to get it still is a pretty cheap deck.
So I'm a pretty shitty player and I've been stuck at D5 for a while now, tried a bunch of stuff but have just gone up and down a rank or two at the most. I'm seriously 8-0 with this deck since trying it out, thanks a bunch :) Let's go legend #1 time!
Wow 8-0 is kinda insane. What were the matchups? I'm happy the list is working for you though and good luck on the Legend grind.
This is doing it for me so far, 18-8 from Diamond 5... finding match ups much as you describe - against the slower decks it's a turn 5-7 victory if you pilot your way around the various pitfalls, like rogue secrets, effectively! Thanks mate. Stopped for a bit at Diamond 2-1star, quick game of WoW then we'll see if I can push on.
Glad the deck is working for you. Also, I agree rouge is very tricky with the secrets and other decks have their own tricks as well. Good luck on the legend grind.
Tried this and it didn't seem very good. has zero come back mechanics so it seems really dependent on getting a good hand.
2:6 vs Rogue and so many in ranked imo
