Informative
Hunter is back! With multiple facets, Hunter is able to control board fairly early and finish the game in a low amount of time. For a guide, I'll require 5 likes.
For Class Mulligans and Cards choices 20 likes would be nice.
Oh boy, you know your favourite class is back: Hunter!
Hopeless Shameless Begging you all Plug In
Take some time and follow me! I would appreciate it so much!

Gameplay
Thanks so much kiwiiNBacon for showcasing my deck! I didn't think this deck would get the attention it is getting now. Here's a video of him rocking out the deck.

Overview
The basics of this deck follow a more aggressive tendency than your average midrange hunter. When we have to smorc, we will smorc. In the case of this deck, you want to take control of the board early because there is a lack late game minions (More often than not, you're going to be smorc-ing face). Using your hero power can be pivotal.
Mulligan
You should always keep: Dire Mole and Alleycat.
These two cards are basically the foundation for your victory or your loss.
Without Coin: Dire Mole, Alleycat, Crackling Razormaw or Kindly Grandmother, Animal Companion or Eaglehorn Bow.
Without a coin, you're unable to quickly coin out a Cat Trick play or Kindly Grandmother. Your main focus is to be the first one to get a minion on board, so you can take care of their minions. Crackling Razormaw helps to eliminate any pesky early game minions with adapt function that can draw poisonous or +1/+1. Animal Companion and Eaglehorn Bow are good curve cards that can help you clear the even stickier minions, but at that point it you have to ask yourself is smorc-ing just that much juicier.
With Coin: Dire Mole, Alleycat, Crackling Razormaw or Kindly Grandmother, Cloaked Huntress or Animal Companion.
With a coin, the same idea here is applied to try to get down those early game minions as quickly as possible to have your board presence be immediate otherwise you lose the board early on and it becomes difficult to come back. The only difference here is you may want to coin out an early Kindly Grandmother or Cat Trick or Cloaked Huntress + Cat Trick.
Tips
(T2) Coin +Cloaked Huntress + Cat Trick or Wandering Monster
The problem with playing Wandering Monster with Cloaked Huntress is that the enemy will try to focus on your Cloaked Huntress and Wandering Monster becomes a secondary objective that may not help you if you have board control.
Class Mulligan
Vs Spell Hunter (Good)
Without coin: Flare , Dire Mole, Alleycat
With coin: Flare, Cat Trick, Animal Companion
Vs Big Priest (Easy Game)
With coin: Dire Mole , Alleycat , Crackling Razormaw
Without coin: Dire Mole , Alleycat , Crackling Razormaw
Same Mulligan because you're trying to get Dire Mole down and using Crackling Razormaw to get that +3 attack so they can't do anything to it.
Vs Secret Mage (Hard)
With Coin: Kindly Grandmother, Cat Trick
Without coin: Dire Mole , Crackling Razormaw
Vs Kingsbane (Medium)
With Coin: Kindly Grandmother, Cat Trick
Without coin: Dire Mole , Crackling Razormaw
Vs Recruit Paladin (Medium)
Without coin: Alleycat Crackling Razormaw
With coin: Dire Mole , Kindly Grandmother
Vs Murloc Paladin (Hard)
Without coin: Dire Mole , Kindly Grandmother
With coin: Alleycat Crackling Razormaw
If I try out this deck, does it work in the recent meta?
Hi. I'm really bad at building decks, so can someone explain why leeroy is not in here? (not trying to criticize)
awful deck, don't even waste time trying it
Did you see when I posted this deck? lol
Any way to replace the Karazan cards? I don't have em (even though they do offer tremendous value)
What can i change in this list if i don't want to play the Corridor Creeper? I simply don'y like the swap of Highmane for that
need some replacement for karazhan set
Nice deck 14-2 rn, replaced Hunter's Mark with Cloaked Huntress
I'm just getting wrecked by taunt decks. Any advice?
Honestly, there are few if any Hunter decks that won't get trashed by taunts. Maybe Spell Hunter, but I haven't played enough to say for sure.
As for playing AROUND taunts, you can try throwing in an extra Freezing Trap for better board control and adding another Hunter's Mark to take down early Tar Creepers and the like.
Need +1 cloaked huntress with 6+ secrets
Greetings guys!
I feel like Cobolds really brought hunter back to life I have played tons of spell hunter and now there is a cool midrange version that is viable as well! I would not expect that.
I have made a video about this deck which you can check out bellow. I have played two games - the first one VS a secret mage where flare did some job as it should in these matchups and the second one a mirror match where I felt the spellstone upgrade was key to win the mirror. Whoever plays the fully upraged wolves first wins I feel.
Hopefully you can enjoy the video :)
Can I replace [card]Professor Putricide[/card] with Deathstalker Rexxar ?
Not the best idea, now dk is such a problem that it can't connect animals with new addon.
even w/o new beasts Rexxar is powerful card
Seems very secret heavy, I guess due to the spellstones. I wonder if subbing out a secret or two to get DK and a highmane in there would be good. Any thoughts to this?
No, if you're going to DK, you need to slow roll a big creature deck. DK in this meta isn't reliable enough to provide an end-game kick like in last season. If you have enough time to waste a turn or two with DK in a midrange deck, that means you have enough control to win anyways.
MAKE MIDRANGE HUNTER GREAT AGAIN BlessRNG !
15 rank video... pls
Yee 6 days ago lol...
