2.How to play Midrange Anti-Meta
The deck is not dificult to use, but u need experience to use it good.
At first, this is not a total SMOrc deck, if u always SMOrc, probably u wil lose the match, Then u need to know when u can SMOrc and when u need to trade completey the board or only clean some minion.
The two bests qualitys of the deck that u need to use are: presence and pressure. Using that u are near to the win. I important if u wannab use ur damage spells on his face, try to wait and keep the burst to not alert ur oponnent and probably u will rekt him.
3.Deck
*( All beasts make combo with Kill Command and Houndmaster )
-Hunter's Mark : a great card to remove any minion on the table, u can combine with Quick Shot , Eaglehorn Bow , Unleash the Hounds to do a clean clear, depends on the situation.
-Fiery Bat : the best cost 1 on hunter, quite good vs aggro match ups like zoo, because u can clean 2 minions wit that, or vs shaman, or simply vs a drop with 3 points of life( only if u believe on rng). Is a beast*.
-Freezing Trap : this card replace one King's Elekk , i think is better because we have 2 weapons that can be benefit of this trap. But within this benefit, is a great card, he can give us the board, standing up one minion of the oponent and adding 2 more manas on his use.
-Quick Shot : 2 manas, 3 direct damages, what more we need? This spell can trade the 90% of the cost 2 and 3 of the game, or just give us lethal or kill other minion combining with more damage, without talk about the draw if we dont have cards on our hand.
-Huge Toad : now, this card is better than Knife Juggler . At first Huge Toad is a 3-2 drop for 2 mana, and deathrattle deal 1 random damage, so we can call it like a big Fiery Bat and adding that is a beast*.
-King's Elekk : 3-2 drop for 2 mana, beast*, and if u win a minion joust, draw your minion showed. Quite good for this deck for his use and because we need more 2 mana minion drops to make presence and pressure on early game.
-Eaglehorn Bow : combo with Freezing Trap adding one more use to our weapon, this weapon can clean 90% of 2 or 3 mana drops, some 4 mana drops, or just SMOrc.
-Animal Companion : the classic 3 mana spell of hunter, the BEAST* card (Kappa). Good pressure and presence on board.
-Kill Command : more damage on our deck, SMOrc or trade, it depends on the situation.
-Unleash the Hounds : a great card vs aggro decks like warlock zoo or shaman agrgo, good use too vs midrange decks. Beast*ial.
-Houndmaster : good 4 mana drop and the combo with our beasts is rlly good for us, one of the keys in the deck.
-Infested Wolf : a great card of Wotog expansion, his deathrattle give use two 1-1 beasts* that give us a little more presence on board.
-Harrison Jones : a great tech card to use in this meta, all people using warrior, shaman, paladin and rogue. And without his use, is a 5-4 for 5 mana, good presence too, and help us in the curve of the deck.
-Princess Huhuran : dr.5 Beast* on hunter. Active our deathrattle and without is a 6-5 for 5 mana, so so good , great potencial with Savannah Highmane and Sylvanas Windrunner.
-Stampeding Kodo : another great tech card in the actual meta, in addition is a beast*. Great vs aggro decks and control or midrange too, deleting Acolyte of Pain , Armorsmith , Bloodhoof Brave , Northshire Cleric, Beckoner of Evil ,...
-Savannah Highmane : one of the bests card in the game for me, just incredible. 6-5 beast* for 6 mana, deathrattle give us two more beasts* 2-2. Great presence on board and trades.
-Sylvanas Windrunner: another tech card in the deck. Really good vs control and midrange decks. Combo with Princess Huhuran .
-Call of the Wild : one of our finishers, summon the beasts* of Animal Companion on the board. With one o two more minions on board we can rekt the oponent. We take presence and pressure, the two qualitys of our deck.
-Ragnaros the Firelord : the last tech card to beat the meta. The classic drop to win versus control decks, just a finisher, or in other situation can clean a minon( feel the rng). This card is so good, because nobody spect that a hunter will have a Ragnaros.
4.Replacements
-Harrison Jones : i think right now this card is usefull, so is difficult to replace, i think u can replace it for a Acidic Swamp Ooze to destroy a weapon and have more early too, or for Stranglethorn Tiger to get more presence and one more beast*.
-Princess Huhuran : u can replace Dr.5 for Leeroy Jenkins to have one more finisher, Straglethorn Tiger to curve and presence or Psych-o-Tron to curve and defend ur face and minions.
-Sylvanas Windrunner : this tech card is quite difficult to replace too, but u can try Cairne Bloodhoof , Hogger, Doom of Elwynn or Sunwalker .
-Ragnaros the Firelord : i think is a unexpected and really good card on hunter. i think u only can replace him for Leeroy Jenkins or N'Zoth, the Corruptor .
5.Mulligans
I need 50 positive votes to upload a concrete guide versus each deck of the meta, so i hope u will help me :) .
-Aggro: u want to reppel the aggro and control the board. Fiery Bat , Huge Toad , King's Elekk , Eaglehorn Bow ,sometimes Unleash the Hounds and if u have good curve Animal Companion .
-Midrange:u want to control the board and make pressure. Fiery Bat , Huge Toad , King's Elekk , Eaglehorn Bow with coin , Animal Companion with coin and if u have good curve keep Houndmaster or Infested Wolf with coin.
-Control: u want to make pressure, but be careful and dont overextend on minons. Fiery Bat, Huge Toad , King's Elekk , Animal Companion or Eaglehorn Bow with good curve and Houndmaster or Infested Wolf with coin and good curve.
On some Match ups u can keep Freezing Trap and versus Control Warrior with coin and some good curve u can keep Harrison Jones.

- Thanks to all the people who enjoy this guide and this deck -
is it good now after the call of the wild nerfs?
replacement for Rag and Princess?
i would say quickshot with 2 deadly shots (i've seen this a lot recent) and play 2 flame juggler for the toad. basically the same card but different stats. i also prefer juggler more because i can decide when the ping should go off.
With many people having issues against zoo they may consider adding a Dreadscale in to help against it. Not sure what to replace for it though.
Great deck! Sadly, this deck have too many legendaries, making it's cost very high :(
Still having trouble with some aggro and zoolocks. You have to be kinda lucky.
Nice guide though!
How do you win against zoo with this deck?
Use your hero power more often
And always try to play on curve
How to beat aggro shamans? I totaly get rekt by them, even if i have a good starting hand (1-3 drops, weapon, animal comp.)
Harrison on their hummer let you win the game
They swarm the board pre-turn 5, so harrison is useless
You have Unleash the Hounds × 2 Quick Shot × 2 Eaglehorn Bow × 2 Kill Command × 2 against the swarm. Also freeze trap can be replaced with explosive
Climbed from rank 12 to rank 5 *** with this deck (only replacement is -1 Ragnaros the Firelord, +1 N'Zoth, the Corruptor)
Guys any tips how to beat rouges. My stats are terrible with them now it should be ~ 2 wins 10 losses.
Their sap on Savannah Highmane just win the games. Аnd this conceal ((
Maybe add a deadly shot for the conceal
I dont have the princess huhuran, tundra rino is a good replacement ? or the tiger 5/5 is better? great guide, thanks
mmmmm, not a fan of tundra rino so ? haha. whats u think is better to swap?
well, thanks for reply me, i think n zoth will slow down the deck, and with 2 cotw i dont see much use for leeroy, i will test with tundra rino, if its go badly i will tiger, thanks man !
Just logged in to comment on this awesome deck. I basically win streaked from rank 11 to 4 and i would call myself an average player. only lost few games. I had the biggest problems against aggro decks and zoolock. All in all very solid deck! +1
Yesterday.
I've played similar deck (just couple of replacements) ~ 40 games and ended up with win rate 64 % Climbed from 12th to 7th rank
The only real problem for me was miracle rouge. Don't have a clue how to win them. Likely not that many of them on the ladder.
Surprisingly for me it is dealing good vs shamies, both agro and mid range.
Shaman feels unwinable, their early game is too strong and r able to do too much damage late game. Aggro in general feels bad.
