Here is the new update! (10.02.2016)
http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/428367-legend-top100-kharan-chaos-control-hunter-v2-reno
Update:
Many of you asked for an update so altough I didnt have that much time to play in the last months I tried to reach Top100 again and managed to do it a few days ago with these changes:
- 1x Quick Shot
- 2x Piloted Shredder
+ Ragnaros
+ 2x Loot Hoarder
I tried many cards but had by far the most success with these changes.
- 1x Quickshot: 2x QS were too many. I often had both at the end left on hand and one was always useless because I couldnt draw a card from it. I also hate putting two of the same card in a deck because they limit the possible choice.
+ Ragnaros: I often put him in when it was possible to play another late game card without dying to aggro. It's a fast and responsive card witch can win a game by its own and fits in really good right now.
- 2x Shredder/Senjin & + 2x Loot Hoarder: Shredders/Senjins were the main reason why the deck got weaker in the last seasons. These cards are good for a midrange playstyle but have no benefits to a control deck. With two additional Loot Hoarders you have more than enough possible plays before turn five to survive and gain card advantage.
I played this Deck a long time with 2x Novice Engineer and 2x Flare before both got nerfed and I really missed the draw power/deck thinning they provided. Loot Hoarder helps to fill this gap and also is useful to survive the early game and to get important cards faster.
There are also now tutorials and explanations about this deck available:

Hey Everyone,
Maybe you remember my older versions of this deck. Since closed Beta (even before that, in Cockatrice) I mainly played control hunter and reached legend quite often with it.
With the new Blackrock additions (Quick Shot/Emperor) it hits harder than ever before and after hitting Legend Top50 I got a lot of requests for the Decklist, so here it is.
As you can see I don't play any Beasts. Well except for King Krush!
The main problem of a controlly approach at Hunter is the card draw. Thats why you need high value cards and (my favorite card in the game) Acolyte of Pain. Hunter works really good with acolyte because of the Pyromancer/Hunter Mark combo. This synergy is the core of this deck and you have to use it wisely.
You play this deck passively. In general you mulligan for Tracking/Acolyte/Bow/Sniper and control the board.
Use the hero ability as often as you can, your main damage consists of bow hits + Steady Shot + King Krush to end the game.
If I'm facing more Control Decks I play Deadly Shot, 2x Shredder and if I'm facing a lot of aggro I switch to Earthern Ring Farseer and 2x Sen Jin instead.
Explosive Shot is really strong in this meta right now, cause it kills 2-3 minions most of the time. (Belcher / Loatheb / Emperor + 1-2 small minions for example) Sometimes I even play it 2x.
Krush also works really good now because of emperor. You can deal 13 damage in turn 10 (Bow / Krush / Hero Ability) from hand if you played emperor before and reduced krush to 8 mana. I prefer him to leeroy because you don't necessarily have to use him to end the game.
I don't want to go into too much detail and explain every card for now. Every card has a reason, just ask if you want to know why or how I use certain cards.
Because the deck is pretty diverse it does good in every matchup. I think control warrior is the hardest to play.
I guess most people only played Face or Midrange Hunter and it could be hard to adapt to this passive playstyle. You are always defending/clearing the board and don't push for minion/face dmg.
If there is great demand, I will play this deck on stream. ( http://www.twitch.tv/teamoverrated_kharan )
Enjoy this deck!
But you also need to spend your pyro, geddon and other tools instead of board control
I don't see how it makes a difference. Geddon is going to activate, no matter what happens. If you cast a spell with Pyro, it'll activate the burning no matter what. I don't see how running Gahz while having Geddon and Pyro out makes a difference in the playstyle. I don't have Krush, so I've been running Gahz instead (I also don't have Geddon but this deck makes me want to get him very badly .-.). I have to say, it works sometimes like a dream. Almost every time I cast her, they either use every resource they have to kill her, or they ignore her and I get perfect lethal the turn after. There's no reason to put pyro out unless you can use a spell in the same turn anyways, and Geddon is always going to go off at the end phase. The only activator that requires a change in playstyle is Sniper, but unless there's a taunt minion in the way that can be killed from the Steady Shot, I'd rather use it on Gahz anyways to get the kill.
Gahz isn't bad here I don't think. Just not sure what you would take out for him. I think the issue is that although they use some resources to kill him you are losing momentum to play him sense he does nothing the turn he comes out. When you would play him would be the key. You are either winning already or this becomes a Hail Mary of sorts.
Replacement for steemwheedle sniper, baron geddon?
I think it's amazing that someone can prove that you don't have to be a cancer hunter to hit legend. Well played!
Title is a lie, King Krush is a beast.
hey bro, he wrote_ Well except for King Krush! :D
SMOrc THAT DIDNT QUITE HIT THE FACE SMOrc
in all seriousness, do you ever get the card draw off the quick shot? or is it just a Darkbomb? if you're control huntering with an empty hand, you're in a very bad situation
Tracking is pretty much the only reason this deck works. Well, tracking and Steamweedle Sniper.
Holy Crap
This deck actually works, but the thing is, the card draw still a problem.
You have to be really smart and know the exact spot between Control / Aggression.
I just played against a Handlock and I killed him with no cards in hand, the tracking's were essential and he wasn't able to do a a single damage.
I might try throwing a Azure drake in there.
Really good stuff.
Baron replacement ideas please.... Rag?
Abomination.
I don't have king crush, so i replaced with Ragnaros.. 3 games, 3 wins (didn't draw rag any of these, so i dont know if was a good replacement). Looks like a solid deck.
Like some ppl from other posts, i usually dont like tracking cuz most times i have 3 good choices and have to burn essencial cards, but it's working fine for this deck. I just dont mulligan for it, often use it as a saving or combo finding option.
Why no Savannah?
A non-face hunter that doesn't run Savannah Highmane? Now that's something you don't see every day.
Just a question, why are there no Mad Scientist when you run 4 traps? And is there a good replacement for Baron Geddon? If not, would a second Piloted Shredder do just fine?
Mad scientist is for when you just want to get secrets out there as quickly as you can. For example, face hunter doesn't particularly care when his explosive trap goes off, only that it does. Because control hunter is a reactionary deck, being able to pick when you place traps is more important than getting them out for free.
I think Mad Scientist gives insane value against aggro, even if you play the secret at random.
Not when you waste a freezing trap on Abusive Sergeant
Hey! Great deck idea!
Nice to see a Control take on Hunter.
Better make this popular before everyone hates this class ;)
