Is Deathrattle Hunter a thing now? Did Gadgetzan help it out enough? Is Rat Pack the best card in the game??? This deck attempts find out!!!!!
Forlorn Stalker will often give +1/+1 to at least 3 minions; there are a ton of Deathrattle cards in here not to mention draw power. If the only card it buffs is Rat Pack then that's plenty of value right there!
King Krush is super optional. King's Elekk can grab it for you and if it gets buffed by Shaky Zipgunner then it's a 10/10 with Charge LOL. Call of the Wild is a solid pick here as well.
This is about as slow as Hunter gets for any of you that want a value-oriented Hunter deck like I did. I'm gonna be playing with this deck and Blubber Discover all the time this season! Here's to hoping I'll get to Legend!
Change log: -1 Animal Companion, -1 Unleash the Hounds; +2 Kill Command
Losing to Pally Murloc decks, but solid deck overall. I added Ram to the deck, and pulled a King Krush one game. A lot of fun.
Ram Wrangler actually seems like a really great addition here. There's a lot of beasts but only 2 cards that benefit them; one more beast effect would definitely be nice.
Well, Cult Master might not be that effective no matter what you swap out for it. You don't have quite enough control over when Rat Pack dies and you don't have any minions other than Unleash the Hounds that summon more than one minion immediately,C However, you could make the deck more of a Clown Fiesta by replacing 3-drops with the likes of the new Battlecry 1/1 kitty and Cult Master would be really good in that! You might deck yourself but you'll swarm the board even more than this deck already does and that's saying something.
N'Zoth would answer any draw problems as well since it's a 10-drop, King's Elekk can get it and it will bring back Loot Hoarders. Playing Princess Huhuran targeting Loot Hoarder or something that has the Infest deathrattle is a way to draw more cards if you really need to. But there's a good amount of mana spending going on in this deck already anyways, despite the 1-drops. It can definitely play a moderately long game without running out of playable cards but if there's a long-term matchup you struggle with N'Zoth might be the nail in the coffin the deck needs!
By the way, don't underestimate Infest; it's even better than drawing cards: it creates cards in your hand! If you can get a third Savannah HIghmane from Infest then that's really good; you might win the game right there. Don't underestimate that card especially you can get immediate value off of trading off your own Rat Pack and then Infesting your whole board.
