Hunter in Standard
Remember to keep your discussion constructive. If you need to blow off some steam, please visit our Group Therapy Thread over in General Discussion. Some food for thought:
Aggro is losing position to Shamam, but midrange is doing very well. The fact there is not a flashy hunter deck around makes this call kind of rare to see being played, but very soon he will come back.
Beast Hunter doesn't look competitive, but I'm having fun!
Nope..
Call of the Wild.
Its still too soon for me to really decide how I feel about hunter this xpac... Its my favorite class in general however as far as its competitive nature goes.......gimme a couple weeks.
This Yogg deck is an absolute blast to play. http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/496834-yogg-stone-rexxar
None yet.
I'm with the previous poster on this one. Call of the Wild, such an awesome card! I opened well over 100 packs and didn't get a single one so I had to craft two of them. I also crafted Princess Huhuran.
I was let down by a couple of the other hunter cards. I love the creativity some of the other classes cards were given, and it just makes some of the hunters seem stale.
Have played it a little, Princess Huhuran is strong, the class seems strong, having lost to it a lot with my control decks
Loving it. Hunter is now more solidly midrange and feels better to play. I'm running a N'Zoth deck and having fun while doing decently.
He's no longer as strong as he used to be, but much more balanced and less frustrating to play against. Hunter is in a good place, imo.
Call of the Wild is a definite strength of the class now, but I personally want to show some love to Fiery Bat. Great solid 1-drop for aggro, midrange and deathrattle Hunter decks.
Forgive me, friend. I have failed.
Rexxar seems to have been forgiven for some of his face days. Right now I like playing against hunters a little bit more than before. Death rattle hunter with N'Zoth seems very viable with the addition of Princess Huhuran and N'zoth and Yogg-Saron hunter seems to be pretty fun.
Hunter got a lot of great cards in this expansion. Fiery Bat has been seeing a lot of play and is a strong 1 drop for hunters. Savannah Highmane remains one of the best 6 drops in the game in my opinion and Call of the Wild is absolutely insane, defiantly in the top 5 best cards in the expansion for me. Face hunter is still being played, but much less thankfully.
Although I don't particularly like playing against N'zoth Hunter, I don't find it as bad as face hunter before standard came out.
Overall I think Rexxar is getting his time to shine in the less aggro view.
It's fun, and not half bad to play. You can actually play a tempo game, which is pretty sweet; normal mid-range always felt a bit clunky to me, aggro/face was neither fun nor interesting, and hybrid was a face deck that was kidding itself. The new cards are well-designed: Firebat is a strong one drop, Carrion Grub has great stats, Forlorn Stalker has a cool and unique effect and trades up, Infest is another option for the "value Hunter", Infested Wolf is a mini-Highmane, Huhuran is the best Hunter legendary by stats alone, Call of the Wild is insane. I thought Sandworm would be a little better since it could be a pain to play around, but even a control Hunter is going to go with 2x Call and a Rag (other than a Reno build).
CCGing since '98.
Some other cards (such as Call of the Wild and Princess Huhuran) even though they are relatively strong, cool, and of considerable value, yet, it is highly preferable -and recommended- not to be crafted right away (specially if having limited dust resources).
If one hasn't happened to open any them in a pack, It's better to wait to see how tested decks and strategies work out and settle, as any smart and particularly expensive investment should always have a profitable return.
You can't harass members who play Face Hunter, nor are they compelled to make preemptive apologies or justifications for playing it. They don't hack or crack their opponents' game, they simply play existing cards that form a specific deck. If you suck at countering Face Hunter, you should blame the designers, not the community.
I disagree on hunter having his time to shine. Yes they did get very excellent cards but it still didn't do enough to make them any competitive. I also ended up crafting the hunter legendary and call of the wild and they are amazing cards. The nzoth death rattle hunter I have played over 50 ranked games with in standard and just gets crushed because for starters hunters lack really good card draws. Not only that but blizzard developed new hunter cards in the 3 mana slot which is already crowded enough as it is. I tried to make forlorn stalker and infest work but I just ended up using the same old standard 3 mana cards as those just work best. I feel like they need more 2 drops to contest the board early game and some more late game cards. I feel like it will at least take one more expansion for hunters to be in the top tiers again. I am having fun playing nzoth hunter even though I lose a lot of games.
Spell hunter is interesting
Yes, I love the Yogg Saron Hunter deck I created. It uses Elek's to fish for Yogg.
Not really. Face can be annoying and still has some feet despite some aggro nerfs.
Call of the wild.
