"A free Jormungar, Maexxna, and King Krush? Yes, please!"
Well Met! When TGT was first announced, there was a card that underwhelmed nearly everyone who laid eyes on it when it popped up in Firebat's exhibition deck... Ball of Spiders... When I saw this card I thought it was one of the best ideas ever! The perfect card for late-game hunter!
This deck is designed to slowly build up pressure over the course of the game while utilizing strong Beast synergies. Kill Command gives good removal and face damage, Ram Wrangler can be the ULTIMATE in value, and Ball of Spiders gives you plenty of gas to run for an entire match.
I've had multiple games where the Spiders produced 2 King Krushes, making the late-game a cake-walk.
Secrets also play a big part here, producing more Beasts for free in the form of Snakes and Bears. A great combo is Turn 2 Mad Scientist, Turn 3 Eaglehorn Bow, Turn 4 Houndmaster on whatever Beast secret has likely been proc'd by then.
Give it a try, and have fun! -Cyg
Update: Edited 9/28/15, some significant changes, primarily removing both Tundra Rhino and adding Flare to handle secret pally, freeze mage, and other hunters.
Versus Face Hunter
Versus Handlock (potentially a Malygos Lock?)
Versus Combo Druid (same game as top pic)
By the time I concluded that this deck really wasn't working for me, I had 40 games played with it. It is that fun to play. Got 20 wins & 20 losses in the end. Feels like it's just short of being something viable. You know, if Ball of Spiders had been 4 mana or if the spiders had charge... something... this would be a pretty cool card for hunter. It's just a rare occasion that you feel Ball of Spiders is the best thing you could be doing for 6 mana.
Perhaps check out my more refined version of this deck and see if it works out better :)
I have a similar version of this deck and it is a lot of fun and very effective. I dropped Dreadscale and I am currently giving Acidmaw a go. A bit late game but Acidmaw + unleash, power shot, or any minions on the board for that matter, turn into a board clear. Have had 3 handlocks concede after killing their moltens and Malganis with hounds. Hilarious!
I believe Knife Juggler is just TOO good to pass up.
I have one Ball of Spiders less, also no Quick Shot, Dreadscale, Deadly Shot or Powershot. Instead, I put 2 Jugglers and a Hunter's Mark. I have also swapped Sludge Belchers for Piloted Shredders. 2 Knife Jugglers require 2 Unleash the Hounds.
As my deck is more offensive, I put Loatheb instead of an Antique Healbot.
Pushing rank 2 at the moment.
I really liked the concept of this deck. Given the new meta without patron warriors, as well as my own ideas to make this deck more personalized, i have created an alternative version of this concept. Considering it this hasn't been updated for a while i decided to post it.I feel like it has a lot of options to make use of, and a better midrange curve. So if you love your balls, check it out :) If you don't yet have any balls, i suggest you get a pair. Don't be touching mine!
I pulled two from spiders in a single game. Good times.
Day9TV made a video for this deck
I tried this deck out, and have really liked it! 4-1 so far, with one small substitution. I decided to replace Dreadscale with a single Doomsayer, as I felt this deck lacked a reliable early game or a way to come back from bad draws. Am I crazy? Probably. Does it work? Surprisingly so.
Update: This deck has had continued success! I've lost track of my win/loss ratio, but it/s definitely positive.
Doomsayer has proven to be a huge help, and I've found a second use for it. If your opponent values his or her minions, you can play Doomsayer to soak up 7 (or more) damage. The most recent success he gave me was when I played him against a mech mage, and he soaked up a fireball. I went on to win that game, and the sweet Sayer of Doom gets a lot of credit for that win.
Remember everyone. When playing against an annoying deck, just tell them to suck on your Ball of Spiders!
Been running a similar deck, Ram Wrangler OP!
After starting 0 - 4 some days ago (losses against Dragonpriest, Patron), I tried it again yesterday, went 4 - 1 and only lost to a Facehunter who had sume incredible luck with draw...
That deck is so much fun playing, and I love that RNG from the webspinners and ram wrangler.. :-D
It's really interesting how many legendarys I already got provided from those two carsd above.
Several (!) acidmaws have been spawnt already..
Deadly Shot and the Belchers saved me 2 games already, however, I couldn't find a usage for powershot yet.
Powershot can be use to counter aggro and Muster for Battle
deck works great with out any grim patrons on the ladder. Ive been destroying almost every other match up consistently. I teched a few cards in my self, but its basically a mid range hunter with ball of spiders and a few changes.
I recommend a second Powershot or a second Deadly Shot or just add Steamwheedle Sniper
2nd unleash is perfect or another quick shot. Unleash basically does the same thing and quickshot is another decent sweep card.
Great deck !I think as secret paladin completely dominate the next meta, a version of this deck could be a great contender.
Pretty fun deck as long as I don't get 2 BoS and a Dr. Boom in my opening hand. Hard match up against Secret Paladin if you don't have the answers. But good deck nontheless.
8/10 deck in my eyes.
fun deck but the inclusion of Dreadscale is perplexing as it works against the Snake Trap and Unleash the Hounds cards
Snake trap won't activate unless a minion is attack, so I think in any scenario they would often time attack Dreadscale knowing they are going to kill it, and I think you would use Unleash the Hounds for mostly trading and you or get them to 1 health for Dreadscale to kill em off.
Solid idea. Might be a good replacement for the Elekk and Unleash.
