Mulligan recommendations? I'm 0-8 and getting crushed by demon hunter, rogue and face hunter. Can play defensively for a while by burning through my spells but DH can do 10+ to the face by turn 4.

Have you played this list? It sounds to me like you already have your bias against this archetype before coming to this deck.  Yes, it did take me many tries to get to this list and now I have a 58% WR with it in Legend.  Is it a tier 1 deck like Highlander Face Hunter? No. Is it a fun, different deck that can net a positive win rate if played carefully? Yes.  Sometimes people like to play fun decks for some wins rather than the top meta decks all the time.  Also, with the addition of Wandmaker, Cobalt Spellkin and Pen Flinger, we have much more gas for Vereesa Windrunner that against Priest, Warrior, etc I've been able to do 20-30 dmg over a couple turns.

Nonetheless, thanks for checking out the deck and taking time to comment!

 I'm currently 4-0 in Legend (R5000 toR4500). Pretty impressive deck! 

You have to play control with this deck. It is not a aggro deck who go only face. Dont be scared to use your spells to clean the bord early on. Wandmaker and Cobalt will reFuel your hand.

 You earned my respect sir. You answer very well. I love this Archetype so I'll give it a good try. Thank you

Nice try (as all tries before).

Spell damage hunter will stay a meme deck. You rarely can put enough pressure on the opponent in the early game to be able to finish him off with spells so much later (Vareesa being too slow / too expensive).

I really like this deck and want to try it out. I saw an Asian Legend player playing with a Highlander Hunter which ran Vareesa and Slate and he was doing really well with it aswell. 

Really? That's sweet! Good to know others out there are playing with Vereesa and Slate!  Good luck with the deck yourself, and hope you have fun! :)

Hey mate, congratulations for the deck. I have Vereesa for a while, and tried this deck, and I have to say: Its a pretty fun deck and it works pretty well. Do you believe if is it possible to adapt it to include some beasts to use Kill Command ?

Thank you! Glad to hear you're having fun and success with it!  Im glad you asked about Kill Command! I actually have been testing a newer, better version that does use Kill Command (and Polkelt!) so I updated the list above :)

Dumb Question... but is Vereesa that essential ?

I don't have her and dont want to craft her. Does she win that many games or is it possible to put a zixor or snake trap againts early aggro ?

I did already answer this question in a comment below :)

TL:DR - Yes, she's essential

If i dont have Slate, who can replace him?

He's got a very unique effect so perhaps another Krolusk Barkstripper could serve a similar purpose.  It might make drawing Phase Stalker from Scavenger's Ingenuity more inconsistent though, so another suggestion is Animal Companion for your spell synergies

I would love to play this deck, been looking for a nice spell hunter list, but crafting Vereesa just for it is not really worth it right?

Crafting questions are always pretty tough to answer because everyone's situation is different.  Vereesa is going to be rotating to Wild in about 6 months so if you're limited on dust/gold I might not recommend the craft because she's really only viable in this deck.  However, this deck definitely needs Vereesa to be playable and is one the most fun Hunter decks I've played in awhile and actually does pretty well so if you have extra dust laying around, bored of other decks and looking for a fun deck to play then I'd say it's worth.  Hope this helps!
