So I havent really seen anyone use Countess Ashmore even though she is one of my favourite cards (The Curator was my favourite previously so this kind of makes sense) and I've been trying for ages to make her work. Today though, I discovered something that I don't know for sure is out there yet that might be really good in hunter.
So what we all know is that Vicious Scalehide into Dire Frenzy puts some good cheap heal minions in your deck with rush. Countess Ashmore draws both lifesteal AND rush meaning that we can reliably draw this minion from our deck after we put Dire Frenzy on it! Ive been trying to implement this into some kinda control hunter deck but I need your help to form an actual list. anyone have any suggestions?
In a control hunter deck you always want dk rexxar, and imo you also should add spider bombs (maybe with an activator card as well) and you have a missile launcher + venomizer combo but i believe its not that great...
(notice that spider bomb also has synergy with countess ashmore)
you should add traps like explosive trap, freezing trap, wandering monster, etc... to control the early game as well. Extra midgame tools are giggling inventors and flanking strike, Then some late game control options are elise and lich king or king krush. Also discoveries from stitched tracker keep the buff from dire frenzy i believe, and stiched tracker also can be used for extra copies of certain cards: elise in a control mirror, maybe you quickly need spider bombs. Also if you already have elise and dire frenzy you might want to try augmented elekk and extra shuffle cards like seaforium bomber or balefull banker for fun.
I also had an idea for control hunter, but for the wild mode, and then you have a vicious scalehide or stonetusk boar or maybe something bigger like charged devilsaur or king krush, buff it with dire frenzy, and then when you have the buffed one in your hand, try to boost it even more with hidden cache, trogg beastrager and zipgunner, and at the end you play emeriss to double up all the buffs.

The idea is not bad but hunter have a much more reliable deathrattle sinergy to work for a midrange/control setup.
You have to draw both vicious and dire, play both cards and after that play Countess to get the value, in the other deck you only need to draw Kathrena for a massive value and tempo.
I did forget to mention that the countess actually draws two copies of the scalehide since it has both rush and lifesteal. That makes it a lot stronger and more consistent too

Try also Kathreena and King Crush + the 3/12 beast with taunt... So you have 3 big minions and 3 4/6 with rush lifesteal to draw/summon
My strongest decks play countess ;-). She does not fit in much decks but she is great in some. I use her in my odd control warrior and tree druid and she is great in both.

You asked for a decklist. I made one :-).
What fits well is a Big Game Hunter and Harrison Jones. Maybe for the Augemented Elek.
Main probelm of the deck might be not drawing a dire frenzy. But the deck has other strong options to win like spellstones and always Rexxar.
