Kobolds and Catacombs is here and you can easy go Legend once again with Giants Hunter!
If you face many aggro decks just change deck. There is no way to make this deck work against aggro. Add secrets or replace any card, your winratio will be below 50% against aggro.
Just couple days after the new expansion aggro paladin was everywhere and Naga was a dead deck. Now Reno Priest and Cubelock rule the ladder.
Its a Control META in wild. Use Naga Hunter and be a Legend super easy ^^
Asking for new cards in this deck? Sadly no. Works like a charm without any change.
First of all I apologize for my bad English. Moreover I want to make clear that this is not a deck i made myself. Found it posted at another website and most people said its an RNG 50% winratio that cant make you legend. I play hunter since the release of Hearthstone, so i try any possible Hunter deck just for the fun of it. I got to rank 5 in a crazy winratio like 80%. From rank 5 to Legend was two days with score 33-8. I know it sounds crazy and probably many people wont believe me but doesn't really matter. When hit Legend i was placed really high at n179:
This deck is absolutely RNG. Almost non interactive with opponent's deck. You just try to make a combo and win the game. You use Tracking, King's Elekk, Coldlight Oracle and Stitched Tracker so you can play Naga Sea Witch on turn 5 or turn 4 if you have The Coin. Naga Sea Witch will allow you to play for 0 mana cost your giants. If your opponent cant kill you on next turn or clear the board then he is dead. That's all about it.
Against aggro decks you always try to get Doomsayer at your starting hand. Zoo decks are ok but you will have a serious problem against super aggro decks that go just for the face. You need Doomsayer or you can sometimes die even at turn 4 before you are able to play your combo.
But META is full of Reno Priests. If you have The Coin and play your combo on turn 4 then you just won the game, they have no counter. If you dont have the coin and you play the combo on turn 5 then you wish they dont have Lightbomb .
Like i said already this deck is pure RNG. But the chances to win against current META are super high. According to my stats its a 73% against Reno Priests, this is 3/4 wins against the main META deck.
- This deck is FUN TO PLAY !!!
- Games don't last long
Honestly I've been having more success with loot hoarders besides king's elekk, and statistically more games were lost whenever elekk was mulliganed into, drawn, or played at any given time in a game (in comparison to other cards in the deck). Proof (sample size 500 games): https://imgur.com/ymO0IeM
It's obvious that this deck needs all the drawing power it can get, but I don't think king's elekk is the correct solution and there are two reasons.
1. It doesn't always draw due to some of the minions that cost less.
2. Even if it does draw it takes away the surprise element of the deck, which I think is more costly than showing your opponent a doomsayer.
It's a lot more difficult to win a game when your opponent knows what you are trying to pull and prepare for it. Loot hoarders does not specifically draw minions, but it does provide that extra little draw power this deck needs. Sure thing it doesn't put as much damage on the board for early trading, it's more compromised to potion of madness and easily killed by hero powers, I don't think it's to be concerned for this deck. I think a guaranteed draw is always better than a 50% draw that gives away your deck.
Keep up the good work!
I got naga on turn 5, oh i won game. I didn't have naga, I loose. Silly deck.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks dude
I have tried several giants hunter alternatives myself. I agree with you that when you need to get Giants and Naga in your hand you dont need other minions in deck but for some reason this version works better, at least for me. Doomsayer is a life saver against aggro and cant stop your opponent in mirror games so you play the combo first. Loatheb and Call Of The Wild is somehow the finisher the next turn after playing Naga+ Giants. Usually when have coin and play naga turn 4 you dont have enough giants to finish your opponet at turn 5. So you play Loatheb to secure your board from Lightbomb and kill Priest next turn or you play call of the wild (5 cost) to get the extra damage you need and instant kill opponent.
If you have any specific version of the deck that works better please share it ;)
Is Deathstalker Rexxar really needed in this deck? If so, why?
Sometimes is a life saver and can clear board against some aggro decks that you have survive until turn 5 and you still haven't make the combo.
Moreover against control decks if you your opponent manage to clear the board after you play the combo then he is your best chance to win game. I have win late game against several Priests the last turn before they use their combo to kill me cause of some badass beasts like battlecry: deal damage equal to this minion's attack + charge.
But if you want to go pure RNG then you can replace Rexxar. Chances to win if you fail to make the combo early are super low anyway.
bad deck
how is bad? I am already rank 5 with it. And will soon go legend again. thats not something you call "bad"
i mean not interesting and if yoi hit legend by this deck that means nothings, don't need skill to play. even aggro shaman needs more mind work
cool story bro, let me go legend and you the skilled one dont
The posts you make on Hearthpwn could use a little more mind work..
I personally would not play a deck like this because of the lack of thinking, strategy, and overall lack of fun and fairness, but congratulations on legend. Funny enough, the Naga Sea Witch buff was done because of the Professor Putricide solo adventure boss fight.
Well the Deck is from Tempostorm indeed. I played it, but I wasn't happy with it against Paladin, Priests or hyper aggressive Decks. So I tried a different approach which suits me better at actual Metagame (Rank 6).
- 1 Call of the Wild (2 is to much IMO, 1 can be a life saver in much situations)
- 1 Molten Core Giant (Against Control you are often not -5 life on T-5
- 1 Loatheb (You want to protect your giants on T6 against Priest, which is only possible if you have coin T4, Naga and enough Giants in hand).
- 1 Bright Eyed Scout (1 is ok because to much I drew Tracking or other stuff with < 5 Mana Cost).
+ 2 Mad Scientist (Another early drop against aggro and allows crazy plays combined with Freezing Trap)
+ 2 Freezing Trap (Steals ALOT of Tempo from Opponent and can save your plays or even life when bouncing something important).
But like the author said, it's pure highroll RNG Deck but the most consistent one among the different classes e.g. Warlock or Druid because of the soft tutors with Tracking, Stitched and the elephant thingy:)
Just my two cents
Takeno-San
Totally agree mate but chances to win against aggro decks are low no matter the changes in deck.
To be honest I stop play if I face two aggro decks in a row. I tried several alternatives but seems like not worth it.
So far I made it up to #33. This deck is god tier against Control decks but is shit tier against aggro decks. So my final ranking depends on opponents 100%. Hope to see more Priests that will let me join in top 10 XD
This deck is really fun and competitive. Thank you for sharing!
KAPPA
Great deck and thanks 4 the explanation!
It's not really complicated :D
Do i need to craft 2 Bright-eyed Scout for this? Or is she replaceable
Bright Eyed Scout is a badass turn 4 card to give you Naga, Call of the Wild for the next turn or give you a giant to play free on turn 4!
I wouldn't suggest replace. Still if you want to try with just one copy then replace her with a spell for some early deck control like Animal Companion. Maybe add flare for the draw. Don't replace her with a minion.
