Update: Some have suggested swapping in another Explosive Trap for the Freezing Trap. Past rank 5 I have some success by doing so, but Freezing Trap can be a game saver against control matchups. Some have also swapped 2x Huge Toad for 2x King's Elekk. I made the change, but I ultimately ended up switching back to Elekk because I prefer the potential card draw and deck information it provides. 1x Deadly Shot or 1x Eaglehorn Bow seem to be they best cards to substitute if you're looking to put in another card like Unleash the Hounds or something else to combat the current meta.
I also just want to say thank you for checking out my deck. This is the first one I have posted, and I am thrilled that the HearthPwn community has been interested enough to comment and share their own iterations. I regularly check this site for deck building ideas and wanted to finally contribute one of my own. Good luck out there.
The goal of this deck is to put early pressure on the opponent with sticky deathrattle minions while using traps/weapons/removal to gain a tempo advantage until you draw into Call of the Wild to finish.
I had Kindly Grandmother replace 2x Huge Toad instead of King's Elekk. I prefer the potential card draw and deck information provided from Elekk's joust.
Barnes was swapped for Stranglethorn Tiger. He consistently pulls good deathrattle minions (Infested Wolf, Savannah Highmane, Kindly Grandmother) or a 1/1 Argent Horserider. Worst case scenario is a 1/1 Elek or Houndmaster.
Kindly Grandmother is a great addition and along with Infested Wolf they allow Houndmaster to have reliable battlecry targets. Also greater likelihood that the sticky minions will be around for Call of the Wild/Animal Companion buff from Leokk.
I've used your list but had to make some changes due to the weird meta last season, ragnaoros is a very good inclusion and i've put in a cairne, i did however remove the fiery bats and king's eleks so the only bad barnes summon is houndmaster! On the other hand very good deck :D
Replacement for call of the wild, would rag and sylv work?
if not I can craft one and what can I replace for the second one
some cards you just can't replicate, Call of The Wild being one. In your situation I would craft 1 and slip Rag in place of the other one for now, but if you want the deck to work to maximum capacity you'll need both copies.
I have tryed putting in sylv and no, in most cases it's useless.
I am going to try this deck today , after a fast climb from 17 to 6 with barnes+ Yshaaraj combos.
Any information about testing N'zot?
Any changes for this season?
What is the best mulligan for this deck?
Fiery Bat, Kindly Grandmother, and King's Elekk. I would keep Eaglehorn Bow and Quick Shot versus Shaman and Warlock if I already have a one or two drop.
Appreciate the deck list. Thanks.
Hi, cheesebutt69 ,this is a far most best deck i have ever played.So far it push me up to rank 17 now i'm still playing i hope i can reached rank 1 by the end of this season and post a pic :) haven't reach rank 1 before
Thanks! made an account just to say I hit legend today with this. I swapped out one deadly shot for a second unleash the hounds, and both secrets for 2 cat tricks.
I'll add some pictures later today as there seems to be a lot of doubt regarding the potency of your deck
Congrats! Thanks for checking out the deck. I'm going to try your substitutions and see how I do--appreciate the tip.
I swapped explosive for a second freeze (works really well to freeze the first potential res minion against priest). Barnes loves highmane.
Results from a run from 13 to 5 in 3 hours including a 15 game win streak at the start. Probably go back to janky decks now.

Yeah, we got a regular Jason Bourne conspiracy thing going here...

I was playing with a secret hunter list with Cloaked Huntress which got me to rank 2, but I was struggling to climb more. Then I saw this list and tried it, got to legend in a few hours. Really solid list, this is a tier 1 deck right now, no doubts. The only match I found almost impossible was Nzoth Paladin (which there aren't many), all the rest were even or favourable. Congrats for the deck!
Glad to hear, thanks for checking out the deck! Versus N'Zoth Pally I try to force them to either blow their turn by using an early Forbidden Heal or hold on to enough burst damage to let them feel like they're in a comfortable spot.
i'm playing hs since half a year, last 3 seasons rank 3-5. got stuck this season at 3 for a week. this deck got me from 3 to legend in 2 hours. thanks man!!
Appreciate it, and glad to hear! I'm still making the push to Legend myself just haven't had enough time to commit yet.
