Changes:

I made two small changes to adopt the new meta. Now, with agro DH gone, we will have a bit slower matchups. Also, warlocks are on the rise and we need a way to counter their colossal. So a 4 damage spell that also gives you more Revive Pets is good.

Hi guys

I have seen some big hunter lists that try to use Sabre-interactions. Those are ok, but you cant really call a deck using many 3-4 cards a big beast hunter. We need the real one, so here it is! I have climbed with from 17000 to 6000 in legend in one day, so it is working great!

Why does the deck work?

Your main goal is to use your mulligan and your discover options like Tracking and Harpoon Gun to find Vanndar Stormpike that makes your big beasts cheap. Then you can bring them on board with Pet Collector or make them even cheaper with weapon.  Then you revive them or copy with secrets and overwhelm your opponent. 

Card Choices & Combos

- Secrets & Dun Baldar Bunker - an early defence option and a possibility to draw those out to thin your deck. 

- Devouring Swarm - Cheap rush to clear aggression. But the main use case is to copy your rat kings vs control 

- Weapon, Pet Collector and Vanndar Stormpike - your bread and butter

- Quick Shot and Tame Beast - your defence

- The Rat King, Tavish hero - great offence and great defence.

- Voljin enables you to tutor undiscounted beasts from hand, but also fish out key cards like Kazakusan from the opponent 

Mulligan and Matchups:

Always keep: Vanndar, Weapon, Tracking if Vanndar is not already present, Dun Baldar Bunker. Sometimes you can keep Pet Collector vs control or if you can protect yourself until turn 5.

Vs agro: you need to get your Mountain Bears cheapened. Then try to copy those. After that its GG. You might also overwhelm your opponent turn 5 with 
VS heavy control: you should copy spam your The Rat Kings with help of secrets and Devouring Swarm. Be greedy, let them waste their resources. 

Let me know how you do with it. This truly is a meta-breaker. Enjoy!
