I was stuck at rank 11 for a while this month, than I decided to give the good old hunter a try and it went surpisingly good. In two days I climbed the ladder relatively easy and got rank 5. The deck went on a winning streak from rank 9 to 5 so I decided to share it with you, in case you are struggling to rank fast enough.
Unfortunately I got no tracker cause I mainly play on mobile, but I can assure you that i wrecked all kind of decks on my way to rank 5, if you want proof I can post a screenshot of my current rank or you can add me. Last encounters were almost all druids and some priests. Best matchups were mages and pirate warriors, 100% winrate against those two.
Mulligans
Be careful, cause sometimes you can overload your hand with 3-cost cards, always dig for your low cost minions
General:
Alleycat not more than one
Two-drops, especially [card]Scavenging Hyena[/card] if you have turn 1 Alleycat
On coin, a two drop followed by [card]Crackling Razormaw[/card] is a really good start
Specific:
[card]Golakka Crawler[/card] keep even two of those against Warrior, one against Druid and Shaman
[card]Deadly Shot[/card] against Druid (early Hydra for aggro, Doomsayer in some Jade lists), against Mage (Doomsayer)
[card]Eaglehorn Bow[/card]only if you already have 1-2 drops
Strategies
Get board control as soon as possible, try to play around boardclears a little. When you got decent board start pumping face damage. [card]Stitched Tracker[/card] and [card]Tracking [/card] are great late game cards, they are a bit clunky in the early stages of the game, so time those cards well. Scavenging Hyena+ Hounds combo is always good so try to make that work. If you have Bonemare in hand try to leave a sticky board on turn 6, or you could keep an alleycat and play the 2 cards on turn 8.
Against Druid try to not play too many small minions or they will punish you with Spreading Plague. Always think of the worst, play around turn 8 UI by making efficent trades with 5 health minions. An unanswered [card]Scavenging Hyena[/card] or [card]Tundra Rhino[/card] can win you games.
Against Priest play around Potion of Madness (the reason why I don't play Kindly Grandmother) and Dragonfire Potion (leave some sticky deathrattles on board). [card]Houndmaster[/card] on a 2-attack minion hurts them enough.
Against Mage, I only faced quest mages, always keep an answer to doomsayer in hand. Leave some space in you board to summon charge beasts (Huffer or Unleash the hounds). You want to go face as soon as possible, leave them at 1-2 health and then pop all those iceblocks with your heropower.
Against Warrior [card]Golakka Crawler[/card] is a must have. If you have 2 of them in hand, or if you already have good first and second turn options, try to save one golakka for high priority pirates (Southsea Captain, Naga Corsair or buffed pirates).
Good luck climbing bros!
P. P. S. English is not my native language so I don't speak it very well, I'm sorry about that
Here is a showcase video made by kiwiinbacon
i agree .
welcome to 2015
extremly boring deck
no kindly?
I can't believe on this
But one evening-and grom zero stars 19 rank i came to rank 9
How it's working?
Not really a fun deck for me. Never once ended up with any kind of useable curve.
I like to run a couple of Jeweled Macaws and Hungry Crabs in this deck. It's a much more reliable activator for Crackling Razormaw.
Any suggestion on how to use this deck against Evolve Shaman? I keep getting destroyed versus this deck
I was thinking of playing this deck but decided against it as I vs it frequently with the razakus deck I run and have only lost to it once. Doesn't seem to be an effective climbing deck for me.
Stitched Tracker have a bad value, I recommend trade it for Vicious Fledgling (I'm using a very similar deck since the beggining of the season)
Do you mean bad tempo and good value?
Stitched Tracker has been a great boon to midrange and face hunter. It allows for a lot of flexibility mid-game. You can pull minions for big impact or board control easily and as the situation demands. Vicious Fledgling on the other hand is just good for a single win condition that can be hard to pull off before the late game without any real taunt options besides Bonemare. Besides you've already got Scavenging Hyena in this deck, which requires a similar manner of conditions to be correct for a win to happen.
Atm still little but stuck with this deck , I like the deck but not really lucky with my Mulligan also I am seeing alot of ridiculous decks especially Druid and Priest.
Almost became rank 17 with it , Now back to 20 but gonna keep trying hehe :P
Started using this deck today and made it from 20 to 16 (one game from 15 (and 2 health from that win)). Hit a brick wall then, but might have been due to tilt.
is this Kripperian's alt account?
I hear you, no idea why this deck has so many up votes. Your chances of getting a horrible starting hand are just way too high. With no real comeback potential. If you lose momentum, which you have a high chance of doing, it's just instant GG. Not a consistent deck IMO.
Seen people asking about tracking and if you should replace it.
Situations like this is why you shouldn't replace it.

I absolutely love this deck got rank 10 from 15 in 1 hour and a half :) Should i replace tracking with any 1 cost minion? cuz if i go first and dont get alleycat things get hard
Tracking allows you to search for win conditions, hounds, kill command, weapon etc
Yea i know now it saved me many times :)
