Twitch VOD where the deck was taken from, https://www.twitch.tv/videos/144774355
The deck plays out at the start like typical beast hunter, looking for 1 and 2 drop beasts into Eaglehorn Bow, animal companion and Houndmaster. As the game progresses, however, the deck looks for reach using the two copies of tracking to find 2x Kill Command, Leeroy, Wolfrider, Eaglehorn Bow, or either of the two secrets (both of which do damage to your opponents face).
Look to keep control of the board early game, similar to pirate warrior. Around turn 4 or 5 change your gameplan and go Smorc and try to burn your opponent out.
In regards to starting hand, look for your 1 and 2 drop minions (quite simple).
If you want to improve with the deck as a whole I highly recommend watching the Twitch VOD given above, and watch his mulligans and play style.
Fun deck. Only played a few games but really enjoy it. The inconsistency of secret draw can be frustrating though. In 3 of the 4 games I was stuck with a huntress but no secret to go with it :/
Yeah, the two copies of Tracking attempt to make up for that but I often dealt with the same problem :( Here is the most recent variant of Kranich's list that he took to a tournament

Give it a whirl if you want to change up your list a bit!
replacements for cat trick and leeroy ? please
Unfortunately cat trick is fairly irreplaceable in this list ): However, if you have no way of obtaining any of those three cards try -1 leeroy +1 wolfrider -2 cat trick +1 knife juggler +1 snake trap.
Congrats! I am also grateful that Kranich made a great face deck for the current meta ^.^ If you are taking this deck to wild I would recommend trying to find a way to fit 2x Quick Shots and 1 or 2 Glaivezookas into your decklist.
ALWAYS RESPECT THE STEED FROM PALADIN BOYS!!!... FeelsBadMan !
You got some really bad starting hands and draws these games D: You made the best of it for the most part though, SMOrc.
Thanks man haha yeah I really felt like the deck could have done better but I was getting unlucky Idk how unlucky but it just felt all wrong XD ! Definitely a great deck against rogue though :D !
Well I won't deny making misplays because I do those somewhat often BUT I think this deck can't beat face warrior even with trading because when you trade you have nothing to push face with and then they just keep facing you every turn so you lose in the end... Warrior is just better at SMOrc in general!
And yeah I didn't know that Counterspell did that sorry I haven't used Flare is so long no deck on here really uses it any more lol...
gut
I'll write up a deck explanation later today so everyone viewing the deck knows how it functions :)
I mean, you could say the same thing for control mage at this point as well. Face hunter is a simple archetype but the deck plays differently than traditional face hunter.
