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.

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

I want to run deathstalker rexxar, any suggestions for what I should take out?
I think that you could take out a bonemare
nice deck works well thnx
You are welcome! Good luck!
Very nice deck, quite strong and has lots of answers. Personally I´ll run Deathstalker Rexxar for better lategame with Zombeasts, but this deck works really well without it, so that also makes it both f2p friendly and good for refinment/customization.
What would you replace Deathstalker Rexxar with?
what would you take out if you running deathstalker rexxar?
Probably Bonemare
I actually have Deathstalker Rexxar and meant what did you take out of the deck to put it but I now get that it's Bonemare.
Thanks for the answer and the great suggestions.
Crazy good and fun deck! It wrecks everything in the early game. Even priest if you have good beast synergy.
Thank you very much! May RNGgod bless you!
I've been playing this deck for an hour. I went from 12 to 9 on a win streak with ease. My first loss was to evolve Shaman. Hopefully, I climb more soon! 12 was my highest level until about 15 minutes ago. As an FTP player, streaking up this high with such a fun deck was amazing. Sweet deck!
Wonderful! I'm really happy to hear that! Good luck bro!
-2 Tracking / -2 Infested Wolf for +2 Raptor Hatchling / +2 Tol'vir Warden
Speed up the early game without losing consistency later on.
Tracking saved my ass a lot of times, I think it's a really good card for hunters. Infested Wolf has a really nice 4 mana cost so it fits really well.
I always had a strange relationship with Tol'vir, but if it works for you go for it!
Thanks for the reply! I guess I'm just trying to figure out a way to use Tol'vir in a competitive setting, and your deck is an easy fit for the card. I've actually been working on something very similar to this deck of yours for a while now, never got it working. I'm still learning though, and your deck is a great inspiration.
One question: If you had to choose between Deadly Shot and Tundra Rhino, which would you choose?
Probably deadly shot, they are both game changing but deadly shot is the only possible answer to certain situations
The deck is flexible you can play whatever you find useful at the moment! I don't really like Vicious Fledgling but that's just me, if you can attack face just once it can snowball really quickly
