This is Gaara's hunter deck that was used to win Dreamhack in Bucharest 2014.
The deck is now 100% known, and it is stated that he worked with Kolento to make his #1 NA/EU hunter deck, and thus is very similar in its fashion. Some marque differences between the two decks was the inclusion of an explosive trap that actually saved the win in Game 3 of the finals.
Main differences between Kolento's #1 US/EU Hunter is the inclusion of one Eaglehorn bow, and one Explosive Trap!
the only thing I question about this deck is when exactly it was made and specifically - the inclusion of buzzard post-nerf.
not sure if 2x unleash + 2x buzzard can be viable as opposed to unleash and cult master, post-nerf.
Wow this guy was almost not going to use Explosive Trap in his build? What kind of Hunter plays without Explosive Trap? 7 minions on the board that's 2+2+2+2+2+2+2= (14 Effective Damage) plus two more damage to the player so a total of (16 Effective Damage) on the board. Only a fool would not take Explosive Traps for the Hunter as that's his best combo clear. The enemy player has no choice but to attack you if you have zero minions on the board. It's a forced trap so it will hit them, if they wait and don't attack the situation will just get worse as you will be able to play Unleash the Hounds with Scavenging Hyena and Snake Trap.
I tried this build in Ranked and it does not work well, maybe it worked well in the tournament with only 126 people but when you play Ranked match with hundreds of thousands of people it does not work as well with the current meta with Naxxramas release. I lost 5 games in a row and deleted the deck. My current self-built deck got me from 20 to 14 and slowly climbing.
My advice, if you plan to use this deck and think you will climb Ranked play you need to think again. This is a tournament deck and not a Ranked deck for the current meta. With Naxxramas release this deck is way out of date.
The phrase "current meta" cracks me up.
thanks for posting this, I was trying to play the "guess what plays he'll make before his turn" game, lol
I only play Warlock and pretty much suck at that, but I love the game. So when the dailies arrive, I scan over some of the other character builds, to find a nice core. So lack of knowledge on the Hunter, I had issues with the card draws. It seemed I was getting overrun, waiting to work combos. So I tweaked it a little more to my liking, adding another Explosive Trap, Snake Trap, King Krush (yea, I put him in there) and the Gladiator's Longbow. I have to say, this deck if not on it's own, can still help one build a monster.......until meta crushes the dream. Thanks for posting the build.
If I were to use Leeroy in this deck, would it be better to take out one Tracking or one Stampeding Kodo? Or is there anything else that would be better to remove?
Alright, this deck is imba!
Love the deck
i would like to add the 2nd deadly shot, but really i can't figure out what to take from it... any advice?
Pim
Sorry, but this deck is overrated.
Agreed, this deck is awful
Every single change you suggested makes this deck weaker.

Are you stupid? King Crush is the worst card you can add into this deck.

What did I just say?

I refuse to believe I'm the worst player of this game in the history of time... maybe second worst, but I have lost with this deck 5 straight matches. Can't tell if it's luck of the draw or complete incompetence.
ur bad
The deck has been released and some of your guesses are wrong. You should probably update your decklist.
