Hi there! I´m Andree59 and this is one of my decks. I'll be glad for all of the comments and FollowMe. This deck is still the version I'm working on.
First, I would like to invite you to a new group for WILD players, where you can share your decks, consulting a metagame, share your games and discovering with other lovers of this format. The group is here.
Why Reno Hunter? It is one of my favorite decks with which I have been able to get Legend 1 several times. In recent seasons, this deck was bad against other Reno-Kazakus decks because it did not have such value in the late game. But the new cards have transferred the value to your side.
My stats:
Strategy:
This deck is based on tempo. Board control is very important. The deck is good against controls, especially against priest. Key cards are Sylvana+triggers (You must steal wincontitions of your opponent), Stitched Tracker (for second Nzoth or Reno), Feugen+Stalagg (If you have a tempo, opponent can´t play entomb or something and steal you stalag / feugen). The same situation against Mage control.
Somebody told me Priest is better!
Quest warrior is a free win, Jade druid and control druid is a favored matchup. In these games you have better early game and then only play good minions + Nzoth. They haven´t effective clear spells.
Theoretically it is weaker against aggro decks but I never lost game against Pirates. I recommend always mulligan for Reno. If you meet a lot of pirates add Ooze to decklist. Against aggro druids and murloc decks be patient. These matches are 50/50 and you must use the value of your cards.
Metagame is still not created and you can meet anything. So I will not discuss about matchups more specifically.
Cards:
1 drops - Many of you want to replace Zombie Chow. That's a big mistake. Chow is better tempo card than Mistress of Mixtures. Webspinner and other cards are useless.
2 drops - A large number of 2 drop cards will ensure a good start to the game. Secret cards only keep against aggro decks.
3 drops - Earthen Ring Farseer is a good tempo card. He can heal Zombie chow and keep the board or he can heal you in aggro matchups. Stitched Tracker is a great new card. You can find something you need (taunt, heal, nzoth ...). Terrorscale Stalker it can be used as a tempo card (Kindly Grandmother, Mad Scientist) or in control matchups with Sylvana, Feugen, Stalagg.
4 drops - Here most cards are classic. Only Spiritsinger Umbra is a question. The card can be great in the late game (+Sylvana,Feugen, Stalagg,Hyenna...). In early game, he always dies.
5 drops - [card]Feugen[/card] + Stalagg are really good. With deck that has so many trigges, they are really great.
Princess Huhuran is another trigger. My deck is built on trigering + tempo. Instead, you can use Loatheb. There is nothing better.
6 drops - Savannah Highmane , Sylvanas Windrunner and Reno Jackson are the best cards in deck.
Deathstalker Rexxar is maybe the best "new hero" in expansion. You can create each turn new deathrattle minions for nzoth. I use it t for Charge + Poison minion or Dispatch Kodo+big attack, or something big with taunt and lifesteal. Rexxar is always keep against controls.
Replacements:
Sylvana+Reno+Nzoth+Deathstalker Rexxar never replace. You can replace other legendary cards. The best options are Cairne, Loatheb, Piloted sky golem, Dr.Boom, Old Shredder.
Why not!?:
Corpse Widow is very interesting but in 5 turn you don´t need his ability. So it's better to play something with deathrattle (Feugen, Stalagg).
Eaglehorn Bow is good but I replace it for Rat pack. I think that the deck need more minions with deathrattle.
[card]Freezing Trap [/card] is good against midrange/control decks. These decks arent problem.
Sneed's Old Shredder + Cairne Bloodhoof. I prefer Stallag+Feugen because it is more safe and cheaper. Sneed's Old Shredder is more RNG for me.
After a year, I'm still using this deck 😍 😋
I just added two more taunts :
Deathlord
Rotten Applebaum
and this card :
Youthful Brewmaster
so I can recycle Reno or N'Zoth to have one more life 😎 😅 😝
Thanks for the deck, I had so much fun up to rank 12 😊😊😊
I added Cult Master and Unleash for card draws 😊
Play Dead or Feign Death , I use them for Huhuran or Umbra .
Corpse Widow is a good one 😊😊 Deathlord , I need more taunts !
Notice: keep the same mana curve 😊
(I took out traps and Scientist and Earthen, sorry 😊
seems to be to many low deathrattle minions that keep blocking my good minions when i use zoth plz revise the deck as it has potential :D
Just leave more space for N'Zoth then 😇
N'Zoth is not a key card to me, since I rarely came to round 10th 😇
umbra is to slow and just gets removed easy play dead is better ~:D
Umbra saves me a few times 😊😊😊
On turn 9, it came with Feugen and gives me a 11-11 monster 😊😊
Another time on turn-10, it came with Sylvanas and let me captured enemy's queen Syl , so I have TWO queens on board 😊
This deck has made me fall in love with Hunter. I love the Swiss Army Knife feel; I have a few outs for every situation and i almost always find one.
Clearly lots of room to fiddle with this list. I'm 20-5 running
- Princess Huhuran, - Spiritsinger Umbra, - Earthen Ring Farseer
+ Play Dead, + Deathwing, + Tracking
Princess Huhuran and Spiritsinger Umbra can be bombs in the long games, but I ended up having to play them as vanilla bodies quite often to try to keep up with aggro and mid-range opponents. I was never happy to see Earthen Ring Farseer; it doesn't even reliably buy me an extra turn against aggro and is irrelevant against control.
Thanks for sharing... Love this deck)
I needed 4 cards to complete it:
- Rat Pack
- Call of the Wild
- Spiritsinger Umbra
- N'Zoth, the Corruptor
Replaced with these ones for good deathrattle triggering and for good start)
+ Jeweled Macaw
+ Play Dead
+ Feign Death
+ Sneed's Old Shredder
Really looks sick when you triggering your Sylvanas Windrunner, Sneed's Old Shredder or Stalagg + Feugen 2-3 times in a row)
Looking forward to try Baron Rivendare but it could be too slow...
Btw noticed one interesting thing when Stalagg + Feugen are on the board and oponent clears it, both deathrattles is activating at a time so 2 Thaddius are on the board)
It's hard to get the table back. Where such a winrate?
Maybe you need card draws 😊
Cult Master is your friend 😊
Check my new thread #42 for ideas 😊
Thx for sharing! Will try it out :)
Another nice beast-combo from Deathstalker Rexxar is to use poison with Dispatch Kodo
Tundra Rhino+ stealth=autowin, my friend :)
The Dk against Priest is always a win in my case, I would suggest to keep the original hero power against Rogue or Mage to presure them, most of the time.
Currently 21-5 (81% winrate) Between rank 10 and 5, I'm currently climbing from Rank 5 now!
Thanks for sharing the deck it's really fun!
I changed some things in the deck to make it work better. I added some card draw to be sure to have your solutions against other decks. The deck run out of steam quite fast if you don't draw DK Rexxar. I also removed Stalagg and Feugen as it was quite rare to see them both in a game even if Stitched Tracker can help get the lacking piece. I removed Spiritsinger Umbra and Princess Huhuran I preferred to put things that can be dropped in any board without combo. I kept Terrorscale Stalker as it's very huge tempo boost if you get a deathrattle from turn 2 and it's insane with Sylvanas Windrunner on turn 9.
- Feugen
- Stalagg
- Princess Huhuran
- Spiritsinger Umbra
+ Loatheb
+ Dr. Boom
+ Azure Drake
+ The Curator
azure drake, and curator were good additions. I added acolyte of pain for extra draw as well since the deck runs almost none.
Currently replaced Infested Wolf for Arfus and it's doing great. The DK cards literally won a couple of games.
undertsand what you mean, but those DK cards are all very good or at least useable in most if not all situations. I hate rng as much as any other competitive player, but I must say the chances of you getting something completely useless from him doesn't seem very high vs what the the 2 spiders can do. But I haven't played this deck (too poor atm) so i'm not sure. But i'd say to give it a shot if you have the card before judging it just yet.
Really like the deck. I will give it a try rank 10.
How anyone manages to beat jade druid with this deck is beyond me. That said, It's a really cool idea and it feels great when the deck actually works.
Ok so I made few rounds with this deck (few means more than 50 games), I must tell, it is a freakin blast!! I mean really, when I faced aggro, bam reno, when I encountered control, bam, spaming zombeasts. This deck is so awsome, the only games I lost it was vs mill rogue, and that s because I had bad mulligan to be aggresive. Big upvote Andree59!!
