I'm not telling you to netdeck it (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I think it's a good reference for what you should be looking for.
The biggest problem with your deck are the minions you're running. Out of all those, I'd only keep hyena and springpaw, the rest are kinda bad (except for houndmaster, but only keep it if you're not going to play master's call).
Animal companion is also a must
Edit 1: I get that you're trying to build a more token version of hunter, but it just falls apart, the class has no real support for that except for revenge of the wild. Midrange hunter is beast hunter already
Edit 2: I'm realizing now that I sound like a bit of a dick by basically saying "that archetype is bad go play the good one", but it's just that I don't know what your deck tries to accomplish (or it's flavor) compared to midrange hunter
I can share mine with you, but I run a pretty standard list right now.
I wanted to talk about this anyway though. I love how hunter lost some of that horrible OP stuff and now we have a proper mid range hunter deck that harkens back to the early days. I didn't like all that candleshot and flanking shot and stuff and DK Rexxar annoyed me no end.
I feel now hunter is in a niche spot and has a control killer deck, I love it much more now.
I mean granted, wyvern spam followed up by the new hero is still OP in ways, but I like my underdog, low tier 2 decks a lot.
we were talking about this the other day, but if you play a niche tier 2 deck you are far less likely to be countered on ladder than playing something like token druid or mech paladin.
anyway dude, if you wanna see my deck or talk about hunter just let me know.
here ya go, boss. this is what I'm running. (I wanted to upload for future reference anyway, so just went ahead and shared with you)
as far as opinions dude. the one I posted is the best mid hunter deck right now. maybe you could play that and get a feel for it, and in turn it will help you make your own deck better?
it's essentially a hyena deck with some late game tricks in the form of Zul'Jin + wyverns. you can gimp yourself with unleash the hounds though as if it casts this first, you get no wyverns a lot of the time.
with this in mind, I tend to not go for wide board plays with this card, I like to use it early to juice up my hyena.
I've not played this style deck in years though mate, so I'm learning to play it (well) again.
I have confidence in the heart of the cards and all that though. I reckon it could be amazing in the right hands.
Thanks for anyone that contributes to the discussion.
Grandmaster tip: Cut all the cards that don't say beast on them and then run Master's Call. It turns out Master's Call is a pretty insane card. Also running a couple more good spells like Unleash the Beast and Zul'jin could prove to be a powerful turn 10 play :)
why would ou ever run banana buffon or Scarab egg?
banana is actually being run by some people, dude. I'm not sure what they are switching out for it, but I have seen some Zul'Jin lists that have it as well.
maybe it's to help trade and beef up the hyena? although this guys deck is way different.

yeah. thats what I'm doing as well. it's really good actually. I posted my list above if you wanna check it out.
I HIGHLY recommend checking out deathstarV3. He's a hunter savant and I watch his builds closely on Twitch. he usually posts his streaming sessions as videos on his Twitch page, too, so you don't have to worry about catching him live.
He assesses hunter the way Fibonacci assesses warrior, Zetalot assesses priest, Mryagut assesses rogue, and so on. Watch how he plays and build hunter decks and it might give you an idea of what will work best.
I know this is more abstract, but watch enough of a pro at work and you'll start to understand their mindset.

this looks like a subpar budget version of a very slow beast-midrange hunter to me. i don't wanna sound harsh but you should probably let hearthstone autocomplete a hunter deck if you want to play more a viable deck.
if you want criticism for your deck creation i would suggest choosing one route and commit to it.
either you go for 2 beastmasters. in this case you should probably include more draw cards like flare, tracking or cult master.
or as others already suggested go full beast and add masters call.
if you wanna go the scarab-egg route with buffing resilient deathrattle minions i'd suggest adding highmane, nine lives, spider bomb... alternatively you could start making a deathrattle mech hunter deck including cards like fireworks tech and ursatron.
in general cards like starving buzzard and stonetusk boar are just not good enough to be included without needing them for a specific gameplan. if you include starving buzzard just to cycle you are probably better off putting in loot hoarders

why can't you critique my stuff? :(
damn, been waiting for someone like you to come along for years and cut me a new one. You can't get anywhere without proper, truthful critique.
Maybe it;s just the time of night I post, but my threads rarely get any replies... maybe my decks are just perfect? ha ha :D (I jest)

Hello. I've been playing with this deck and having moderate success, but I think it could be more solid or have some techs here or there.
I just want some opinions on it.
Thanks for anyone that contributes to the discussion.

I tried having fun once. It was awful.
This is what the best midrange deck out there looks like: https://hsreplay.net/decks/t4K7uVAEwv56UawOOmiJVb/
