Deck Spotlight: Mur0's Legend Control Hunter
We're highlighting a Hunter deck today which is making the rounds and is quite frankly, awesome. We can't guarantee you'll see the same results, a 65% winrate over 62 games, but you can certainly have some fun with it before some of our favourite cards get rotated out.
Mur0 has been trying to make meme Control Hunter decks work for the past couple of years and finally has a list that is doing better than a 50% winrate thanks to the current meta and recent nerfs. Check out the list, and videos, below. Mur0 is planning a more extensive guide, soon (tm).

Deck Gameplay
A few HearthPwners have put together videos on the deck.
Would re-craft both spellstones and crushing walls to play this but I think I'll just leave it since rotation is around the corner.
Deck looks really fun. However, does anybody have any experience with the reliability of Corpsetaker? I mean, if you draw Zilliax first, it's just a 4 mana 3/3 with taunt. Is that really worth it?
well you have Witchwood Piper, and Stitched Tracker all help you to get out your Corpsetaker before Zilliax.
but I do agree that you might want some more divine shield/lifesteal/taunt cards in your deck.
I gave this a shot and sometimes the RNG lets you circumvent that. I got Dire Frenzy off of Bloodscalp Strategist, used that on a lifesteal/taunt zombeast I made with Deathstalker Rexxar, and got a lifesteal/taunt Corpsetaker alongside the three buffed copies of the zombeast.
Otherwise, it's not the worst problem in the world to have. The deck has so many outs that a failed Corpsetaker synergy isn't going to lose you many games at all.
Corpsetaker actually fills a lot of missing parts of this deck, because if you remove it you are left with only 2 taunts, only 1 source of healing except the DKs and most importantly only 3 4-drops. I added it mainly because of Odd Mage but it also helps a lot against Midrange Hunter. If you are not facing a lot of aggro decks I recommend you replacing it with Houndmaster Shaw!
Really fun deck to play and quite strong. I just managed to beat a Togwaggle Druid, Midrange Hunter and Odd Paladin with it. The last two are the Top 2 Deck of HS Replay. It's a niche Deck, but that is what makes this deck so cool to play. I highly recommend to give it a shot.
The problem is the ladder format. Because to rank up you have to win a number of games the format very strongly promotes playing the deck that statistically has the highest winrate. If hitting legend is your goal, then netdecking the top deck is simply logical.
Well played, hearthpwn
Actually there are a lot of interesting decks that can be built.. those who complain about the meta are just lazy netdeckers.
This is both true and not true. There are a lot of interesting decks that can be built, I agree. People who netdeck don't experiment enough wich keep the meta stale. However it's hard to try out another deck, get crushed by net decks 9 times out of 10 and keep on going. There is also no reward for being experimental or creative. Most people are just in for the win so they net deck. I wouldnt call all of them lazy, it's just Human behaviour.
I am only missing crushing walls and corpse taker, any suggestions for replacements?
It depends on what you are facing. If you are facing a lot of aggro replace them with Shroom Brewer and another secret. If you are facing a lot of control decks try out Stonehill Defender and Arcane Dynamo or any other budget value generating card.
thanks, right now, I am replacing corpsetaker with rotten applebaum, because it is also taunt and heal.
and crushing walls with baron geddon, because AOE.
Well Met! I created a video showcasing this deck. I hope that you will enjoy it and learn something new. Thanks and cheers!
It's been a while since I've seen one of your guided :P I hope you have good stuff coming soon!!
i had a small break because of problems with graphics card but i'm back for good. right now i want to cover other unique decks on hearthpwn but soon i will make my own wierd off-meta decks so stay tuned and good luck. Cheers! ;)
Actually built something similar to this day one of the expansion; was the most fun I had playing a class I despise.
i dont wanna be that guy, but crushing walls is really bad and only works sometimes cause ppl dont play around it. in a meta full with 1\1s running crushing walls is heartbreaking how about another copy of explosive trap? or another copy of corpstaker? or just voodoo doll?
The nice thing about this game is you are welcome to tech your deck however you want. If your experience is that Crushing Walls isn't working, swap it out for whatever you think is better!
true. vs even warlock im sure it rocks or some other big minions decks, i just face odd paladin too much xd
