Been playing Aggro Hunter lately, and the main problem that I always encounter is Taunts, I know that probably every Aggro Hunter deck out there runs 1 (if not two) forms of Taunt removal, whether it be Ironbeak Owl or Hunter's Mark, and I've been experimenting with both, but which one should I use. I've always thought that Owl is the better choice because of the beast synergies, and the ability to get by taunts without sacing a minion, but in mirror matchups Ironbeak is often a dead card and Mark can let you kill a Knife Juggler with a Webspinner or a Hound.
What do you guy's think?
P.S. Im not running Haunted Creeper so I might need the owl for triggering the Kill Command
Owl's generally preferred for aggressive builds, as it means you don't have to spend any resources dismissing obstacles, and you get the beast proc. Midrange and control hunter prefer hunters mark, though the midrange build runs both.

Ironbeak Owl, Hunter's Mark requires trade, and thats too much skill.
Your icon is incredibly adorable.

Owl because of Kill Command synergy and to get around pesky deathrattles that Mark otherwise could not remove as easily (Sludge Belcher)
I run 2 Owls and 1 Mark in my Face Hunter build. Been working okay so far.
I need to topdeck IRL.

You won't have as much damage against other aggro though
Owl does not remove opponent's minion from the board. That's why i'm running x1 Hunter's mark and x1 Owl im my midrange hunter
You need owl for kill command. Face hunter deck should always have at least 1 of each or 2 owls. I would run 2 owls and a mark.
