Since the nerfs give mroe freedom to play new stuff and experiment more (since paladin doesn't insta win in turn 4 neither does warlock in turn 6..
I have been thinking what could counter the control decks I have been facing (well in low ranks of 12-11 so the players are quite bad, didn't play all month)
and rexxar is a natural counter to control decks with his infinite value, I wanted to play spell hunter but sadly I don't have the weapon I do have katherana though and I really wanted to make a deck around her. so I fused the 2 ideas (kathrena deck and spell hunter)
It's not a control as in control warrior that you gain armor and kill everything but you DO tend to kill most of the opponent's stuff and the deck does play taunts.. I totally forgot about witchwood grizzly didn't see this card getting played at all despite how good it is on paper, in this deck it has further synergy with kathrena, and now that the top kobold decks got nerfed new cards can be more potent).
I really hope such a hunter deck gets to be top tier, hunter didn't got to shine for a while, and with this deck I felt I had very powerful plays across the field.. it isn't optimized yet but so far it seem very solid. (this deck has a lot of traps and well.. rank 12-11 are weak against thinking.
The copy of dire frenzy is there for zombeasts or more fuel for katherena.
Crushing Walls is actually good against spiteful decks.. since spiteful now costs 7 it got much better against that deck.
hmmm yeah I probably forgot some basic combos I still tinker with it.. also I realized I don't run tracking, and I have been lucky with not drawing total dead hands yet.
I enjoy hunter at the moment and realy like Katarena, but using her was hard. The deck has the problem that it depends on an early Rexxar. If Rexxar comes very late you loose to most decks. Also there is no healing and aggro mage will tear you appart. A lot of aggro decks will also give you troubles unless you got 2 traps and a spellstone.
Would try this: Replace the winged blasts with flanking strike. It is usually the better choice with winged blast being good with more agressive versions. Here a suggestion. A spellbreaker would also fit well.
