Hunter is my favorite class and the only one i have full collection, its doing good against priests and rogues, theres room for tech cards and the games are very short, especially if you play correctly and not fully SMOrc ("me go face" is not the winning play most o the time).
Plus its very, very good at low ranks where the skill level is bad.
I'm not sure how I feel about people referring to Big Bad Wolf by its acronym tbh
I know what you mean. I've seen some websites where the Big Bad Wolf seems very interested in the British Broadcasting Corporation and somehow also like One Turn Kill spankings.
Hunter is definitely not just about going face anymore. And it seems to be solid now, it's making a comeback, so people want to play something different. Nothing wrong with that. Interestingly enough, plenty of streamers played some hunter lately.
Mid range hunter will always be played cuz' is a really cheap deck to build and have success, many new players and F2P players cant afford a Rogue, Paladin or whatever other tier one deck is on the meta. For me personally even after hundreds of dollars spent on the game, being able to just smack your opponent face with hero power is just fun.
The usual Midrange Hunter requires about 3.5 - 4 k dust and sometimes even less, whereas decks like Tempo Rogue or Control Priest cost three times as much.
The classes strategy is simple due to the hero power (which also makes for quick matches) and very effective against slow decks.
In short: cheap to build, easy to learn and especially good at the lower ranks.
I over exaggerated some. If you ever meet a decent Priest player, you will lose 100% of the time. They steal your big bad wolf and from there it is an instant loss. How can you not put BBW in your deck tho right? It is such a good value card.
Then don't play BBW along side something they can trade it into.
Hunter is strong against priest because it can finish the game quickly before anduin comes into play. And bearshark.
Yeah, seriously ... I beat priest plenty of times with hunter. You just have to actually think pretty hard about what you do with every move, and avoid walking into a bad Potion of Madness. Potion of Madness is literally the only thing you have to play around, with priest, and it's really not that hard ... and also, you need to not overextend into a board clear. Other than that, you "hit them very hard."
Hunter is a straight forward class, it requires less skill than any other class, and performs really well if your opponent doesn't draw answers. It is capable of ending games pretty fast so it's great for climbing, and it's simplicity is great for getting better at Hearthstone, Learning when to trade and when to go face ect.
Hunter player rate actually plummeting because of it having a naturally bad win rate. It was popular for about 2 days then it dropped off. Right now it’s a tier 4 deck. It’s play rate dropped by ~6% in one week. It actually is the weakest clas in the game at the moment. /endthread

I used midrange hunter from rank 3-legend last month, took me 3 days of casual playing after work. It completely destroys priest, as that was 3/4 of the games I had, I teched in scalemanes, you just need to use the right deck for the right ranks, not blindly follow stats. /threadreopened
Hunter has a slight disadvantage against Razakus Priest and does well against Big Priest and Dragon Priest. Razakus Priest is the go to deck for Priest and is currently Tier 1 and makes up 87% of Priests on the ladder. Big Priest makes up 13% of Priests on the ladder and Dragon Priest makes up 1% of priests on the ladder. I am much willing to trust the data gathered than some person's anecdotal evidence. Data is much more reliable of a metric by leaps and bounds, especially when it's pitted against anecdotal evidence based from memory.
Because if you spend the same amount of dust for any other class, you get completely unplayable crap.
Because any other viable deck right now is expensive as shit, and not everyone can dish out cash on this game constantly

Cheap and fun. Opposed to expensive and ResidentSleeper.
