First time posting a deck, but This deck actually feels postable.
Standard deck with 65-75% win rate over 80 games. Goes toe-to-toe with aggro and has multiple win conditions against control. Heavily favored over midrange and jade decks. When playing against Midrange or Control - play conservatively and try to only play one card per turn until you can set up / have lethal. Know when to make trades, and when to go face. The deck does require more skill than other face and midrange Hunter decks.
Against Aggro mulligan for board clears and sticky minions:
Unleash the Hounds, Alleycat, Kindly Grandmother, Quick Shot
Make smart trades and aim for a Houndmaster and a finish with in hand damage
Against Midrange/Jade mulligan for cheap sticky minions and midrange cards
Kindly Grandmother, Houndmaster, Trogg Beastrager, Dispatch Kodo
Challenge the board early, but play conservative - if you can ALWAYS try to empty your mana crystals with a hero power starting at turn 3-4. Don't be afraid to hold onto Unleash the Hounds for lethal.
Against Dragon Priest / Reno decks mulligan for cheap sticky minions and buff cards.
Kindly Grandmother, Hunter's Mark, Trogg Beastrager
Played similar to Midrange - Keep deathrattle minions on the board for clears and chip away HP with hero power, keep spells in hand for surprised lethal - Hunter's Mark for Big threats makes a BIG difference in this matchup
You can swap in the following cards for different playstyle
Tracking to replace Fiery Bat - more versitility
Timber Wolf, Dire Wolf Alpha to replace Fiery Bat - synergy with Dispatch Kodo, Unleash the Hounds, Tundra Rhino
Leeroy Jenkins to replace Call of the Wild - More aggressive
You know ive been trying to get a buff beast deck to work since launch, very similar but w/ 2x rat / smugglers/ doppelgangstas, 2/5 x it would work great and I would get that dream buffs on rat pack, kodo or doppel, but when it didn't you get screwed
i like your deck more, its got all the solid parts of hunter, but a tad of the buffing on the hunt got stronger w/ pirate wars, i have been shutting them out. I think we can make this even stronger w/ 2 hyenas, but no sure what to cut, maybe a juggler and infested wolf.. but i would also like to make room for a direwolf to help trading with those annoying shamans
Anyway fun deck!
Wait, Timber Wolf and Dire Wolf Alpha buff Dispatch Kodo's battlecry? I've never seen a Hunter on ladder, I didn't know this xD
They do, i meant infested wolf though. But yea when he comes down whatever his attack is so if its 2 +1 from dire, 1 from timber it would hit for 4 damage
I started to play this deck with a minor change; instead of 2 Houndmasters, I play with 1 Houndmaster and 1 Leeroy Jenkins since I love playing Hunter and 2 Houndmasters never been a good idea for a loooong time after a certain rank. Also since this deck is really aggressive, Leeroy Jenkins would help you to get lethal in 6-7 mana.
Going well for now, after some while I can post the statistics here. Thanks in advance!
how do you play against reno decks with this deck? I can't beat them
Pressure early game only trade if necessary. Hunters mark is amazing in this match up. Try to hold onto spells and charge minions for lethal, you can deal 20+ damage on turn 6 or 7 with kill command, quickshot, and board minions.
Call of the wild for sustain after they Reno helps. 5 damage to face + taunt + damage buff for whatever minions you already have on board.
whcih ranks did you advance with this deck?
went from rank 13-2 with this deck, then hit an aggro shaman wall
are you in Americas region? thanks for sharing the deck BTW
Yeah in Americas
why no rats? just curious
Rats are too easy to clear with any form of AoE and it's much better to buff up your kodo, highmane, or rhino for a win condition or board clear
