Surprise your friends, shock your opponents!
Use the Cult Masters and various token minions from Unleash the Hounds, Infested Wolf, and Rat Pack to burst draw into the 30 damage combo of Malygos, double Quick Shot, double Arcane Shot. Plenty of beasts and a pair of dragons usually gives good Curator value as well.
The advantage Hunter has with this kind of deck is Steady Shot, which allows you to push your opponent to a point where you can kill them without the full combo.
In general it is better to use Kill Command as removal if the game is set to go on long enough, as it cannot be used in the full combo.
Reach:
Thaurissan -> Malygos +...
...Quick Shot x2 + Arcane Shot x2 = 30 damage, 10 mana
...Arcane Shot x2 + Kill Command = 22-24 damage, 10 mana
Thalnos (no Thaurissan ticks) +...
...Quick Shot x2 + Arcane Shot x2 = 14
...Quick Shot x2 + Kill Command + Arcane Shot = 15-17
Edit 3/6: I've been doing better with a version that gives up a lot of early game aggression for extra card draw and value. Double Loot Hoarder over the two Grannies, Refreshment Vendor, double Drake, and double Rat Pack. Changes have been made. Barnes appreciated in value, so I included him as well.
Tempo game. Just try as best you can to contest with minions and make trades. The game will never go on long enough to pull off the whole combo so it's fine to use the spells for removal and Emperor for tempo. If you can kill multiple threats with one Unleash you are doing well. Perhaps tech in Wild Pyromancer or extra Alleycat over Infested Wolf.
I totally had my doubts about this deck, but I built it, and holy cow it's fun! No one expects it hahaha
No Barnes?
I think he is pretty average here. Let's look at the possibilities.
Amazing: Thaurissan, Thalnos (2/17)
Good: 2 Grannies, Infested Wolf (3/17)
Marginal: Hyena, Rat Pack, Azure Drake, 2 Cult Masters, Curator, Malygos, Timber Wolf (8/17)
Useless: Houndmaster, 2 Elekks, Alleycat (4/17)
That's 12/17 chance to get something useless or probably useless.
Now, most of the minions in the 'marginal' row can provide value, but it is conditional on other minions being on the board (Cult Master, Hyena, Timber Wolf) or having spare mana and spells (Malygos, Drake). It's not impossible that a Malygos from Barnes wins the game on the spot, but seeing as he's a more appealing curve play, I don't see that happening often enough to include him.
Having said all that he may get more value than Houndmaster so it's worth considering.
7-3 right now. I dont know if its the best, but im having a bunch of fun!
