Game Plan.
Early-on you want to keep their board as clean as possible. Use removals like Quick Shot, Eaglehorn Bow(Sometimes good Kill Command.This tempo deck than normal Midrange. On start we must keep board.On turn 8 use Call of the Wildand end game. My average game time 9.6 turns.
Replacements.
- N'Zoth, the Corruptor: N'Zoth very good if you meet many control decks. Can replaced for Princess Huhuran or Sylvanas Windrunner
- Quick Shot: can be replaced for second Eaglehorn Bow or Arcane Shot.
- Huge Toad: if you don have LoE can replace for Flame Jugglers.
- Snake Trap: can be replaced for secondBear Trap or Freezing Trap
- Call of the Wild: its core card and dont have replacements.
- VERSUS AGGRO:
- -1 Snake Trap,-1 Bear Trap
- +2 Explosive Trap
- VERSUS CONTROL:
- -1 Unleash the Hounds
- +1 Deadly Shot
Matchups.
Quick Shot, Eaglehorn Bow, King's Elekk, Huge Toad, Fiery Bat. Versus Aggro just try to control the board and play a bit more defensive. Versus Totem it's a bit harder since they flood the board but we have Unleash the Hounds.
Fiery Bat, King's Elekk, Huge Toad, Animal Companion, Knife Juggler, C'Thun Druids are slow and you win easily. They dont have good AOE. Just keep board and lethal him
Fiery Bat, King's Elekk, Huge Toad, Animal Companion, Knife Juggler, Eaglehorn Bow Easy matchup. Priests now dont have Lightbombs. But remember they have 1-2 Excavated Evil.
Quick Shot, Eaglehorn Bow, King's Elekk, Huge Toad, Fiery Bat. Mirror. I saw more Hunters and all of them have Doomsayers. Just keep board and win.
Fiery Bat, King's Elekk, Huge Toad, Animal Companion, Knife Juggler, Eaglehorn Bow, Unleash the Hounds. Against zoolock control board with early drops and removals in midgame can pressure him.
Flame Juggler, King's Elekk, Eaglehorn Bow, Animal Companion, Fiery Bat, and Huge Toad Against warriors good Stampeding Kodo versus Bloodhoof Brave, Acolyte of Pain.Control warrios too slow and we have too much damage. If you see Frothing Berserker its dont control warrior he has 2x Ravaging Ghouls and Whirlwinds so he can easily clear your low hp board.
Fiery Bat, King's Elekk, Huge Toad, Animal Companion, Knife Juggler, Eaglehorn Bow Tempo Mage depends a lot on draw and who establishes stronger tempo is usually the winner.Mages in Standard keep at least one Flamestrike and some even keep two of them. Try to use Call of the Wild only as lethal because of that Flamestrike.
Fiery Bat, King's Elekk, Huge Toad, Animal Companion, Knife Juggler, Eaglehorn Bow. Just pressure him but don't overdo your board cos of his AOEs and that should be it, just like with Mage try to use Call of the Wild only for lethal.Easily matchup.
Fiery Bat, King's Elekk, Huge Toad, Animal Companion, Knife Juggler, Eaglehorn Bow. Just play as aggressive as you can and think about their Sap, if they used it already and all that.Face is the Place in this matchup. Trade only when its needed (for example kill Bloodmage Thalnos so he doesn't use Fan of Knives and destroy you turn after).

Gameplay videos:
Not quite enough dust for 2nd Call of the Wild. Since there are so many beasts in this deck, I added The Curator. I'll add an edit line with results once i finish 3 - 5 games.
Thanks for a large effort to make this guide for us! Great!
Very enjoyable, reliable deck. My opinion may be a bit biased as both games I tried it, I drew both of my Call of the Wilds before turn 8. :x
If you're playing against a warlock, keep knife juggler on your hand and combo it with unleash the hounds on turn 5. You can usually clear their whole board. If you aren't playing against aggro decks that much you can take out juggler for some other 2 drops.
I love this deck! :-)
Currently going around 55%~60% WR from rank 15 to 12 and back to 14 and 13.
Since most of my meta is control I replaced -1 Unleash the Hounds to +1 Deadly Shot.
I feel like Knife Juggler doesn't really work for me... maybe replace one of them for one Ram Wrangler or Harrison Jones?
Thanks.
Really struggling with this deck around rank 13...
Anyone got success with this deck to reach ranks beyond 10 this season?
I reached Rank 7 today after a lot of played games. I use Sylvanas instead N'Zot and at Rank 9 replaced Bear Trap with Fire Trap. Saved my butt couple of times to warlocks, but not much otherwise. Aggro decks are tough. Knife Juggler feels weak. I definitely feel the lack of NZoth when games get late, especially against Priest and Warrior control decks.
Got to rank 10 with 5 stars a few days ago with this deck.
In all the games I played with this deck - I don't recall any game that [card]N'Zoth, the Corruptor[/card] won me the game.
I don't have huge toad but I went from rank 15 to rank 3 in 3-4 days. Maybe I got lucky with win streaks but after rank 5 there aren't any win streak bonuses. This deck can definitely help you climb in ranked.
Man I really want N'Zoth Hunter to work, but after playing about 40 games with this deck I realized that the only matchup he actually won me any games was Priest.
I replaced N'Zoth for Eaglehorn Bow and the deck feels much better now. Unfortunately Hunter doesn't have any huge board clear or any sort of healing to afford playing N'Zoth on turn 10.
i dont know, but Knife Juggler dont really work for me on this deck, i substituted one for Acidic Swamp Ooze, lets try now
the [card]Acidic Swamp Ooze[/card] is working well against all the weapons, and 3/2 is not that bad body, i still keep the 1 [card]Knife Juggler[/card] to com with Unleash the Hounds
Incredibly strong deck, the inclusion of n'zoth sets it apart as far as I'm concerned.
Very enjoyable to play.
Would it work to add an infest to this deck?
Would getting a bunch of snakes/spiders/hounds and add infest to get more cards improve this deck?
So far loving it, despite only 1 call of the wild, but i added Sylvanas to replace it.
Hardly ever got to play her either as games usually end fast.
No deadlyshot? How do you deal with druidS?
Great deck! Made two changes though, Switched both Tundra Rhino to Sylvanas Windrunner and Cairne Bloodhoof
10-2 Right now, Shamans and Warlocks don't stand a chance
Yeah I'm not sure what's the issue, but I have a 30% win rate with this deck. I think maybe I'm not putting enough pressure, and trading too much.
