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.
Well, I've been playing with this deck for a while now and I have mixed feelings. The journey to silver was rather easy, but then I only win like 2 out of 10, and I could just NEVER reach even the first step of gold. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
First time I used a budget deck like this... Rapes. thx.
Coming back to say THANK YOU !!! Just achieved legend for the first time today using this deck (europe).
Weirdly the diamond 5 climb to legend was the easiest with only 2 losses these last 2 days ! I think the fact that there are less and less druid is helping.
Very fun to play and very efficient, went 68-40 this season
Crap deck vs control, which is most of the meta.
I have tested this deck live on Twitch and have to say that it is a lot of fun! Thanks for this great decklist <3
Here's a little highlight video. Attention, its completely in german ;-)
Stalled out at gold rank 5 with my Shaman... I'm undefeated down to platinum with this.. crushing! run good
Please tell mulligan of deck...
Just posted it. Sorry for the delay was studying for final exams.
First try at bronze 10 with this deck, ran into some sort of Control mage who kept playing frost nova + doomsayer, the 4 mana reborn minion, the 6 mana reborn minion, the secret that deals 3 damage to my board, etc, didn't stand a chance. Meta is way too polarized.
Edit: next match was against a DH who went Battlefiend - Umberwing - Satyr. I put up a good fight but lost to Metamorphosis in the end.
This deck is fucking garbage, don't waste your time on it. You'll do amazing at rank 10 bronze, but past that you'll get raped by everyone else. But at least you're giving free wins to other players so hey look at the bright side, you're a generous idiot
you have clear evidence to prove ur statement false yet ur tiny brain made the choices to proceed with this and comment this trash comment any ways
Dragon hunter can beat any T1 deck out there but sometimes you just get bad draws and there's nothing you can do. The dragon hunter concept though is one of the most consistent winners right now.
I made it to Plat5 last night (first day of May) with a variation of dragon hunter. I did have some losing streaks but I also had a couple five game win streaks in there as well.
I've played 6 games with it, and went 2-4, winning only when I had really good rng. Aside from that I got destroyed by turns 6-7. My conclusion is that it heavily relies on rng, and there are much better decks out there that don't.
First time making Legend, with 10 minutes left before the season ends. Thanks Mate!!
So nice deck! Thank you very much. But sometimes I am confusing at mulligan. Can you tell mulligan of deck please??
Congrats on Legend! quick question, most of the matches I see were sub 7 min? Were you able to really do that much damage in the first 3 turns? If so, how?
Secondly, I'm only showing 22/30 cards :( in the deck?
Very good deck but if you facing warrior or rogue, you'll probably lose. For another meta decks this deck is powerful.
I'm 15/26 from diamond 4 to 2. I'm facing a lot of rogues. In 26 games I'm facing 10 that was rogue or warrior and I lost most (8 of 10).
For now this deck have 20% winrate against rogue or warrior. What is sad because have a lot of rogue on diamond 5-1
started playing this deck today, i was rank 1 with 1 star, now im rank 3... i really dont get it how u win rogues and priests with it. I guess all u need is luck with the matchups
I have been playing this game casually since release. I have never made legend, I just assumed I couldn’t do it so I never tried very hard.
After trying this deck I rattled off a string of easy wins and I started to believe I could do it. Just made Legend this morning.
In short, I created an account just to say. Great deck.
Easy legend with this deck. Cheap and easy to play. But I had some problems with 3/4 taunt with reborn while climbing.
