Current W/L on Ladder: 11/10

"Feelings?!? Look, mate - you know who's got a lot of feelings? Blokes wot bludgeon their wife ta death wif a golf trophy. Professionals have standards. Be polite! Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.- The Sniper, TF2

After listening to the discussion of Midrange Hunter on the Angry Chicken, I was interested in a deck that used three distinct cards: Feign Death, Quick Shot and Steamwheedle Sniper. Not finding a deck that included all three, I decided to make my own - and I am very pleased so far with the results!

This deck is extremely flexible. You can play it as straight Control, clearing the board of enemy minions and aiming yourself towards big plays. You can also lean more in an Aggro direction if your opponent is playing a distinctly Control-flavored deck (most Warriors, Handlock/Demonlock, etc). The tools at your disposal for controlling the board - Hunter's Mark, Quick Shot, your traps - are just as good for general clearing as they are for removing taunts or other obstacles to a quick win. You can adapt the deck easily to your personal playstyle.

Since I opt to play this as a Midrange deck, the Mulligans and Matchups below are written up from that perspective. If the deck gets enough likes, I'll do a Control section as well. However you play it, have fun with the deck, and may your aim be true!

EDIT 1: Given the propensity of aggressive decks in the 14-13-12 bracket of the ladder, I swapped out a Freezing Trap for an Explosive Trap.

EDIT 2: For similar reasons, swapped the Azure Drakes out for Antique Healbots.
