Hello!
This is my hunter deck that I peaked at rank 12 Legend with on the 11 of May.
(Defensive variaton:http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/549421-high-legend-defensive-hunter)
To play this deck we must first understand the choice of including the card Tracking.
Tracking - Uses: Gives us a more tech heavy deck. How? It creates a bigger chance of finding our one-off cards like Acidic Swamp Ooze / Harrison Jones or our power house cards like Savannah Highmane &Call of the Wild.
Tracking also allows us to pick apart our own deck and discard the cards that aren't optimal in the current matchup.
This is why Tracking is our only way of card draw, it's a perfect way to find an answer for specific situations and late game "top decks" as well as refining the deck. As we get the opportunity to discard cards we don't need to draw into.
In a way we can say that Tracking allows us to change our play style depending on our opponent, as long as our deck have enough options.
This also makes Tracking a hard card to play correctly as we need to understand all the different matchups we are playing against.
Best part for me as a player is the choice it gives me to easily create responsive plays vs the other players.
Meta is slightly changing every day and will be different to all of us, so here are some options I switch between:
Freezing Trap = Explosive Trap (If you face zoo) / +Flame Juggler / +King's Elekk - If you'd rather have a minion in its place.
Harrison Jones = Stranglethorn Tiger / Tundra Rhino / Stampeding Kodo / Princess Huhuran / [card]Psych-o-Tron[/card] - Go for anyone of these.
Teching a deck to your own meta is important, as you can see on my version I faced a lot of weapon classes and control decks.
At the start of the page I linked another version of this deck, it's one I've used when I faced more aggro.
Shout out to Fluffy for being the only other Hunter player I faced on ladder during the first two days I played my Hunter and peaked at Legend 12.
Also to Orange for letting me help him tech his hunter <3
*My IRL friend took the deck to a local tournament with great sucess.
*My former team mate used it to win a B05 in the ESL Benelux Championship!
Hope you guys enjoy this deck, even if it is a bit too weird.
Gl HF!

Hey there friend I got something for you d:D !
Thank you my man! <3
Great plays as always! :3
You're welcome sir :3 ! Great plays?! Oh yeah SMOrc )/ haha
I don't have LoE yet, so would replacing the huge toads with king's elekks be a suitable replacement?
Yeah king's elekk is great, but if there is a lot of control decks in the meta your chances of winning the joust will lower.
I'd prob go with +1x flame juggler and +1 King's elekk :)
Nice happy to hear that that it works for you! :)
Really cool deck! Used it in a tournament match vs lbDutchBoy yesterday and the deck performed well. Took a turn 5 lethal vs renolock with Reno in hand!
Yeah sometimes you get these insane early tempo boards and with tracking it's easy to find that burst!
Haha I try atleast, it's me, Yagut, Orange and Fluffy doing our best ;)
May sound a bit biased as RDee is my friend and my name is posted on the screenshot, but gotta say I've had good success in climbing to the top 100 legend rank with this deck and its a bunch of fun to play with :) Especially when Shaman start getting on your nerves ;)
