Wow, almost 300 upvotes ! Really appreciate that positive feedback. Tried my best to answer all questions ! If I dont answer your specific question its most likely because I already answered it in a previous comment. So do me a favor and scroll through the comments, thanks in advance :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why Sir Finley Mrrgglton ? Because steady shot isnt as strong/necessary in midrange hunter as it is in face hunter especially considering the currently very aggressive meta (shamans/paladins/aggro druids).
How to Finley ?
vs aggro:
Two options depending on the stage of the game
A. Ping-heroability in the early game to fight for board (druid/mage never pick rogue if you can avoid it because it completely denies Eaglehorn Bow value )
B. Heal/Armor up in the late game as you have more board presence usually and just want to heal/armor out of burst ranges
vs control (priest/warrior):
Choosing Lifetap is game winning. Hunter with never ending ressources?Yeah just concede, traveler ! (Ping abilites like mage/druid can be decent as well and probably outvalue steady shot here too !)
!Finley´s little advice : Dont forget playing Mrrgglton resets your heropower so you can use it twice on the same turn (to find lethal for example)!
Overall Finley is just amazing to play with and opens up interesting ways to approach your games!
Why no Snake Trap?
From a value/synergy perspective Snake Trap fits really nicely in the deck considering Knife Juggler and Houndmaster, so why the fuck do I not play it ? Basically because its performance wasnt as good as I expected -> Faceshaman just ignored the Trap (SMOrc face me no stoopid), Secretpaladin and druids just ignored it and then procced it with Consecration or Swipe-> Guess what ? Everybody knew that I was playing Snake Trap in this deck because everybody has that idea when they see midrange hunter. Explosive Trap won me games just because people played into it not expecting the trap !
Traps are the very flexible deckslot for the hunter class and I would play whatever suits the meta best or whatever is not anticipated by the most players. As this decks grews in popularity I would even consider playing Snake Trap again because everybody knows I dont play it ....I think you guys got the idea. Hope this answer helps :)
Mulligan:
VS aggro:
Tier 1: Sir Finley Mrrgglton,Mad Scientist,Haunted Creeper
Tier 2: Knife Juggler,King's Elekk,Quick Shot (increases in value vs druid to kill Darnassus Aspirant)
If you face decks that flood board heavily (paladin/zoo/etc.) keeping Unleash the Hounds and even Explosive Trap is recommanded !
vs midrange/ctrl:
Curving out is never bad and basically what you should aim for in every midrange build but vs slower type of decks keeping 3 drops like Animal Companion,Eaglehorn Bow is fine.
Anyway, you have so many 2 drops in your deck you should almost never miss the important turn 2. Even playing a secret can be ok. (Bear Trap is a decent turn 2 play).
Thoughts/Progression:
I think this deck has great potential. I havent played too much this season and checked in at 79# Legend EU on day 9 (Proof: http://i.imgur.com/NRLB4yz.png). As someone who reached 1# EU with Hybrid hunter in a previous season I think this build is pretty strong and I am curious to see how the climb will go on for me.
Update: Streak is still on (18-0) currently being 25# EU !
Update:
My personal streak ended at 18 wins feelsbadman. Currently 21-1 with the deck being 19# EU + ThuFull (italien proplayer OPopie) used the deck to get 16# EU as well !
Gameplay
Keep calm and dont forget to SMOrc, Travelers

Edit: Currently I am toying around with this version of fatigue warrior, doing pretty well so far ! Cick here for Starseeker-Fatigue Warrior
TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!!!
any change for sir mrglrglrgl?
If you want to play this deck, it seems like the sir Finley is pretty essential, but if you want to, try swapping with a webspinner.
Hi, I'm one of the peasants without Boom :( Do you think Gahz'rilla would maybe be a replacement? Or any adventure legend?
Haha, I'm one of those "peasants" too :D, personally I swapped the doctor with Wobbling Runts (similar effect to Highmane), but you could swap with any medium-high cost minion, or even maybe that new Rafaam :D. Hope that helped.
You know? I'm interested in trying Rafaam. We'll see how it goes.
Good luck!
Can you replace Mad Scientist?
Try Sky Golem. You won't be in BGH range, too.
I think that [card]King's Elekk[/card] is pretty useful too and not only to draw a card but also because it's a good 2 mana drop in the early game, offering you the chance to use it in beast-combo for 5 damages
Great deck mate, Went from rank 10 to rank 5with a long winning streak.
What about putting one Flare instead of [card]King's Elekk[/card] ? I am facing way too many secret paladins and mages, so i think this is a correct move
Pretty sick deck if i'm honest! 8-1 atm from rank 12, and i've only drawn Sir Finley Mrrgglton once!
I´m missing King's Elekk, any replacement? ..and what about putting a hat? may be interesting. Cheers :)
Its 40 dust. If you wait a week, you will get them from the brawl...
Yes, but it is still a good 2 drop on its own, 3/2 beast. It's a bloodfen raptor with a chance of a free draw, which is HUGE.
I know it´s only 40 dust but after i buy the 4th wing of loe i may buy lots of packs of tgt,, i may get one of those easily S:
i´ll see what i can use, thankss all anyway ^^
Excellent deck, but I lost vs secret paladin 3 times in a row. Top Decks everywhere...
thx for the deck ! Keep up the good work xD
He is my favorite card soon as he was released -)
