At long last, Tunnel Trogg is gone. After a year of shaman early game dominance, free at last, free at last, lord almighty we are free at last! Good riddance.
So a couple days ago I draft a warrior arena and I get offered a legendary pick. I can't remember the other 2, but I picked Harrison Jones. I'm pretty bummed since weapon classes I find to be rarer, but lo and behold on my third game that run tonight I face a shaman that drops Grand Crusader on turn 7. Hearthstone being lolrandumb gave him Tirion. Well now that's a good roll, but what's this I have in hand? Is it... why yes it is! The one time tirion in arena is bad against warrior; I would feel bad for that shaman if he didn't get it from a lolrandumb effect.
Holy shit, I drafted Ragnaros in a Mage deck! Time to go 12... oh wait, he just kept hitting face or nerub eggs... 2-3 for me. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Try fatigue or grinder hunter with Justicar. 3 damage/turn can be really scary in a fatigue war (which I know rarely happens in loltroggu2death meta we're in, but still).
Not a problem. I feel that while weaker right now due to draw, aoe, and heal issues, hunter control is still really underrated. It may not be as consistently strong as say aggro shaman or any of the other top tier lists, but this deck can still take wins off of those top tier decks. Just don't go into the mindset of 'me hunter, me go face' right off the bat, save that for turn 8-10 when you get the big beasts and fossilized devilsaur out :P. The playstyle takes some getting used to, so be aware of that as well.
If you're looking for budget control, I made a budget control hunter when Old Gods came out that did reasonably well. As of right now hunter has no sustain or heal, so using the early removal you have to not take damage in the early game is what I've found it takes to get to the late game. I may not be a top tier deckbuilder like the pros, but I'm still able to break this out when I feel like a budget deck and have reasonable success.
The fact that it costs less than 2000 dust should also be really helpful; also Powershot and Deadly shot are interchangable depending on the meta, 2x Powershot I feel is usually the stronger option due to the sheer amount of aggro.

So let me get this straight... you need to:
A) Either not have a job or have vacation time lined up
B) Have enough disposable income to afford the attendance ticket IGNORING EVERYTHING ELSE
and C) Either live in Koelnmesse or have enough disposable income to buy the plane ticket, passport, food, and board in addition to point B
Enjoy Gamescom folks. I'll just be sitting here... going to work... busting my ass trying to make rent while you guys have fun...

What's this? A hunter card that is
A: defensively statted
B: passes the vanilla test
C: has a very relevant and powerful upside
Fantastic card and well designed. Now let's hope (HAHAHAHA) that we have the tools to not die to pirates.

It's not bad provided you don't die turn 4, just like Galvadon!

So let me see if I understand this rogue's arena game:
Turn 1: coin-loot hoarder
turn 2: jeweled scarab
turn 3:burgle from scarab
turn 4: clockwork gnome into burgled si:7
turn 5: kobold geomancer into buffed backstab into ANOTHER burgled si:7
