Or maybe a Bloodmage Thalnos because the spell power works with Explosive Shot, Explosive Trap and Kill Command plus the draw is nice. Aditionally if the enemy has no minions its probably gonna eat a spell that then can't be used on other minions.
Anyone else having incredibly bad luck in not drawing their eaglehorn bow? I had a game versus a warrior recently that went all the way to the bottom of my deck pile, and my bows were the 4th to last and last card in my deck.
I really want to try this deck , I might even craft greenskin ,is there any other legendary I can replace him with before I fork out 1600 dust? xd, I'm going to have to DE Illidan for it.
Edit: Results from rank 9 to rank 5 with very little losses. This deck is awesome...
For Captain Greenskin replacement possibly Nightblade (guarenteed 3 damage with a 4/4 or Argent Comander (not guarenteed damage but can provide 4 damage or help to stop their taunts)
Captain Greenskin on a good day will give between 5-6 extra damage. a 3/1 weapon becoming a 4/2 (8-3)or a 3/2 becoming a 4/3 (12-6). Of course it will be better if you have better then a 3/2 from creative trap use, or much worse if the oponent has a Slime, that 1/2 pirate that noone plays or Harrison Jones in Hand.
Any chance we could discuss match-ups? Personally I'm finding Mid-Druid a problem. Once the taunters start flowing it becomes an up-hill battle unless I have a good hand.
Sure! Mid-range Druid can be a problem, when they see what you're doing (they are seeing it a lot more since this deck got spotlighted :-/). Try to be very aggressive or to play control (depending on the situation). With a lot of 5 damage options (Kill Command, Stranglethorn Tiger, Explosive Shot, ...) typical threats (Chillwind Yeti) aren't that threatful. Still a hard matchup if they realize. Save your Hunter's Marks.
As I posted several times: Captain Greenskin is just a killer in Trap Hunter-decks. So much better than he locks on paper.
King Mukla is a viable option. We had him in for Faceless Manipulator ealier. He is a little bit situational but can give a huge boost. For the other slot you can use: Argent Commander or Houndmaster. I don't like the Bloodsail Raider because you want to do something instantly (even the Stranglethorn Tigers, although they don't have charge, do a guaranteed 5 damage; they are kind of delayed chargers). As you don't have many targetable minions, they will die instantly.
This deck rocks. I am currently Rank 7 after being stuck around rank 9-11 with my control Warrior. I made a couple of changes (mostly because I don't have Captain Greenskin ) but I love playing this deck. here is the version I am using:
I use The Black Knight instead of the captain and it's a very useful card, especially late game when you are holding Leeroy or Unleash the Hounds and need a way to clear the path.
I am using two Ironbeak Owl but am debating taking 1 out to add something else. not sure what yet though. any ideas?
played yesterday with this deck for about an hour. won 8 in a row and went from 12 to 8. Will try to continue the win streak after servers back up. love the deck. if they have just a couple minions down, leeroy, uth, bow and hero power is devastating. especially if you can lay a wolf also. so fun!
i crossed the finish line :) vs. a very nasty murloc deck.....defense wins! I'm very happy that i was able to reach Legend with this special kind of rush/controll Hunter Deck.Thanks to every one here which gave me some very good advices! I hope this was not the last time i could reach Legendary :D

Use what fits you best. The list from the first post is the list that brought Tobi and me to Legend rank. But I'm pretty sure some minor adjustments due to personal preferences will work, too.
Just one thing: I would really recommend using two Stranglethorn Tigers, as they rock!
The big move would be crafting Captain Greenskin and going -1 The Black Knight. I currently have just enough dust to craft a legend but i'm still missing staples like Cairne BloodhoofTinkmaster OversparkSylvanas Windrunner and Bloodmage Thalnos. There are also class legendaries i would like to craft like Tirion, Archmage, Velen, and Cenarius but I guess those can wait since I would need to more dust to piece together other cards in a deck.

is it worth the dust to craft the captain?
the "problem" with crafting the captain....is that he only fit well in this Deck....i've never seen him in another so if you *just want to try* it out....i would rather craft more flexible legendary like Bloodmage Thalnos or [card]Sylvanas Windrunner[/card] . If you want to dedicate yourselfe totaly to the Hunter Class....the Captain will be your guy :)

I believe you can't craft greenskin, afaik you can only obtain it through getting all other pirate cards (same as the murloc).
Finaly Rank 1 ! :D
I'm very happy that you guys have success with it :)
Hope we will some more Hunters soon ^^
Grats on rank 1!
Love this deck, the only change I made is -1 tracking for +1 flare. Climbs ranks fast and I like the thought into which traps are best.
Not sure if hyped yet.
For Captain Greenskin replacement possibly Nightblade (guarenteed 3 damage with a 4/4 or Argent Comander (not guarenteed damage but can provide 4 damage or help to stop their taunts)

(PS: I played from Rank 9 to Legend in 2 weeks)

veeeeeery nice!
Congratulation for this success ^^
I'll take a brake today to hopefully get to the finishline tomorrow :)
Thanks! Good luck for you tomorrow!
Btw: Did you see, that Shizgnat played your Deck at the last NA Swiss and performed quite well?

ehm nop! and didnt get any message from him ^^''
But i guess it means the deck isnt that bad ;)

Congratulations Tobi and welcome to Legend Rank!
This really proves that Hunter is a playable class beside pure rush!
PS: I think I played NabUttE yesterday, too. He destroyed my first possible jump into Legend rank (when I was at rank 1 5/5 stars) ;-)

I have since dropped -1 Ironbeak Owl and added +1 Explosive Shot.
I will consider dropping the -1 Deadly Shot to do the +1 Stranglethorn Tiger
The big move would be crafting Captain Greenskin and going -1 The Black Knight. I currently have just enough dust to craft a legend but i'm still missing staples like Cairne Bloodhoof Tinkmaster Overspark Sylvanas Windrunner and Bloodmage Thalnos. There are also class legendaries i would like to craft like Tirion, Archmage, Velen, and Cenarius but I guess those can wait since I would need to more dust to piece together other cards in a deck.
