So, I was trying to think of how (slower) hunter decks could compete with the decks that would otherwise kill them if they didn't win soon enough. Exodia mage and Razakus priest were the two decks that came to mind as the most common ones assuming that you could either establish a good enough board against Jade druid or tech in the geist. Swamp King Dred came to mind as an option to delay when mage could play their combo or when priest could play Velen. It would even work against the Exodia paladin or others. Has anyone tried this out by chance or had an success with other counters?

Meh. Quest Mage don't need a quest to beat Hunter in a lategame. You can't heal yourself, so you'll die from anything from the bubbling books and cabalist tomes. Razakus Priest is even deadlier.
I don't know of any super slow hunter decks, at least in standard since i saw a post about control hunter being potentially viable in wild due to a combo between Unstable Ghoul and Toxic Arrow. I was thinking more any slower midrange decks or maybe the play dead decks, although I don't know how slow those are compared to the typical midrange hunter. If it's an issue that they don't have quite enough time to beat those decks with all the board clears they run, even a standard midrange deck could tech it in for surprise. I'm thinking it could be decent since after Anduin is played and the one Death is used, I can't think of much that would easily remove it as a nice finisher. Same for mage since they typically freeze the whole board in my experience without too much big single target removal.
I'm pretty sure OP knows that there aren't any good Control Hunter decks. I think the idea here is to brainstorm ideas for Control Hunter in the next expansion.
