Hello!
I just hit rank 1 on EU! Check my demon zoo list here: hearthpwn.com/decks/236381-brm-rank-1-eu-demon-zoo
I'm part of the Double Dutch Dragons team and climbed from rank 7 to legend in only 7 hours with this list. With a win rate of over 70% (Might be more, but I didn't keep track) I am currently rank 18 Legend on EU.
The moment I saw Quick Shot I knew it would become a great addition to the face hunter strategy. I replaced Haunted Creeper with Quick Shot, since it's much faster and isn't a dead draw when you actually need the damage. Other changes include adding a second Ironbeak Owl and a Snake Trap. I always felt like 1 Ironbeak Owl wasn't enough to get past Sludge Belcher and other taunts. The Snake Trap can catch your opponent off guard and get in a lot of damage. It also insures you getting value from the Mad Scientist.
General strategy:
Obviously go face as much as possible, but don't be a retard and go face when you have a really good trade. Remember to be mana efficient every turn, and if you can squeeze in your hero power without losing too much tempo, go for it. For example: It might be better to play Animal Companion + hero power on turn 6 instead of Animal Companion + Eaglehorn Bow. So you can follow up with Eaglehorn Bow + hero power + 2 drop on turn 7. Every damage counts and you will find yourself winning with exact lethal or being 1 damage off lethal most of the time.
Mulligan guide: Without coin
Mulligan aggresively for a one drop, both Leper Gnome and Abusive Sergeant are always keeps. Other then those two cards, Mad Scientist is the best 2 drop to keep. Against warrior it is fine to keep Ironbeak Owl as well, so you can silence the early Armorsmith. If you have a one drop and an Animal Companion in your opening hand, it is fine to keep both. Since there's a big chance you will draw into a 2 drop. In the worst case you can play Leper Gnome turn 1, turn 2 hero power and turn 3 Animal Companion. You generally want to throw away all the damage spells such as SKill Command, Quick Shot and most obviously your secrets, since you want to get those from the Mad Scientist.
With coin
Still mulligan the same as with out the coin. Only major difference is that it's fine to keep a double 2 drop when you have the coin. For example Knife Juggler + Mad Scientist. Or Mad Scientist + Glaivezooka.
Other notes
- Don't be greedy and do non value plays just so you can get a draw from the Quick Shot. It is perfectly fine to play it as a 3 face damage card.
- Always count up all the damage in your hand for about 3 turns ahead. This way you will know how much you can afford to trade, while aiming for lethal damage within the next few turns.
- Obviously only make the favorable trades, for example: Your Leper Gnome into his Knife Juggler. Or clearing a mech when you can expect Goblin Blastmage on turn 4. It's not always face guys ;).
This should give you a general idea of how to play with this deck. There is still a ton of stuff I haven't covered in this guide such as specific class matchups, but I might update that if this deck gets more views :).
Cheers, and have fun facetards!
Follow me on twitch.tv/tylerootd for the stream.
*Tune in Saturday 18 April. At 13:00 PM CEST (European time) for the climb to #1 :)
Why are you running hunters mark? I also missing worgen infiltrators in list.
Good replacement for Leeroy and Snake trap?
I know it's probably conventional wisdom but I feel like face hunter is very based on meta. I feel like there are no changes you can make that will help it beat someone jamming 2 antique healbots and a bunch of taunts, but if people are lax on anti-aggro measures, you can just coast ranks. This was the first deck I had built and I started late in the month and hit rank 6 in a day from 25 :) Does it make sense that ladder gets easier for hunter later in the month? Psychologically speaking, most people have the mind set of "it's the first of the month, let's play a fast deck and grind to the top asap", so logically the "next level" idea is to play something that beats aggro. Does it make sense people lose that mindset later on and therefore it's easier to climb? Just a thought.
Also, is the leeroy 100% worth crafting? I want my list to be optimal but when I stream people are getting REALLY bored of watching me play face hunter, if it's not absolutely necessary I feel like I should maybe start building zoo.
HUCK FUNTER
"FUNter"
I'm having problems with Paladin, he has several shield, live recovery and weapons... I have only a 54% win rate (13 games played...)
Any strategy?
It's a nice deck and works very well right now (for me) I played 13 games (I lost 4, but the one against the rogue and lock I just had a bad starting hand (both 3 drop weapons and leeroy) So I like to think of it as I went 9-2 not 9-4
Here's what I faced so far.
The deck doesn't have to many weak spots, but if you don't get a good starting hand then GG.
70% win rate will get me to legend pretty fast if the meta doesn't change to soon.
i laughed when i read "strategy"
Face 2 Face Smorky SmorC
Face hunters sucks balls.. u lose 90% of ur games because of no late game
rag HAHAHAH LOL
Glad you are having success with this deck. GvG season 9 works better for me. This one is to slow
This Deck worked very well for me, i finally got to legend from Rank 5 with 68% win rate!
this is my first time reached Legend ever, thank you very much for the awesome deck!
i have been playing HandLock all the way from rank 18 to rank 5,
then i switched to FaceHunter for the final climb, fuck me right?
20 mins per Game Vs 5 mins per Game,
it's your call.
You piece of trash.
I've seen people replacing Scientist with Bluegill Warrior, and I have to say, it wasn't as bad as it may sound. But there are other potentially better substitutions :)
Quickshot is so op completely carried me to legend I even beat Firebat in a hunter mirror. I have never been so proud to be a facetard.
What should i do vs priest, when he play at turn 1 Northshire Cleric?
And i have Leper Gnome, Animal Companion, Wolfrider?
