2.How to play Midrange Anti-Meta
The deck is not dificult to use, but u need experience to use it good.
At first, this is not a total SMOrc deck, if u always SMOrc, probably u wil lose the match, Then u need to know when u can SMOrc and when u need to trade completey the board or only clean some minion.
The two bests qualitys of the deck that u need to use are: presence and pressure. Using that u are near to the win. I important if u wannab use ur damage spells on his face, try to wait and keep the burst to not alert ur oponnent and probably u will rekt him.
3.Deck
*( All beasts make combo with Kill Command and Houndmaster )
-Hunter's Mark : a great card to remove any minion on the table, u can combine with Quick Shot , Eaglehorn Bow , Unleash the Hounds to do a clean clear, depends on the situation.
-Fiery Bat : the best cost 1 on hunter, quite good vs aggro match ups like zoo, because u can clean 2 minions wit that, or vs shaman, or simply vs a drop with 3 points of life( only if u believe on rng). Is a beast*.
-Freezing Trap : this card replace one King's Elekk , i think is better because we have 2 weapons that can be benefit of this trap. But within this benefit, is a great card, he can give us the board, standing up one minion of the oponent and adding 2 more manas on his use.
-Quick Shot : 2 manas, 3 direct damages, what more we need? This spell can trade the 90% of the cost 2 and 3 of the game, or just give us lethal or kill other minion combining with more damage, without talk about the draw if we dont have cards on our hand.
-Huge Toad : now, this card is better than Knife Juggler . At first Huge Toad is a 3-2 drop for 2 mana, and deathrattle deal 1 random damage, so we can call it like a big Fiery Bat and adding that is a beast*.
-King's Elekk : 3-2 drop for 2 mana, beast*, and if u win a minion joust, draw your minion showed. Quite good for this deck for his use and because we need more 2 mana minion drops to make presence and pressure on early game.
-Eaglehorn Bow : combo with Freezing Trap adding one more use to our weapon, this weapon can clean 90% of 2 or 3 mana drops, some 4 mana drops, or just SMOrc.
-Animal Companion : the classic 3 mana spell of hunter, the BEAST* card (Kappa). Good pressure and presence on board.
-Kill Command : more damage on our deck, SMOrc or trade, it depends on the situation.
-Unleash the Hounds : a great card vs aggro decks like warlock zoo or shaman agrgo, good use too vs midrange decks. Beast*ial.
-Houndmaster : good 4 mana drop and the combo with our beasts is rlly good for us, one of the keys in the deck.
-Infested Wolf : a great card of Wotog expansion, his deathrattle give use two 1-1 beasts* that give us a little more presence on board.
-Harrison Jones : a great tech card to use in this meta, all people using warrior, shaman, paladin and rogue. And without his use, is a 5-4 for 5 mana, good presence too, and help us in the curve of the deck.
-Princess Huhuran : dr.5 Beast* on hunter. Active our deathrattle and without is a 6-5 for 5 mana, so so good , great potencial with Savannah Highmane and Sylvanas Windrunner.
-Stampeding Kodo : another great tech card in the actual meta, in addition is a beast*. Great vs aggro decks and control or midrange too, deleting Acolyte of Pain , Armorsmith , Bloodhoof Brave , Northshire Cleric, Beckoner of Evil ,...
-Savannah Highmane : one of the bests card in the game for me, just incredible. 6-5 beast* for 6 mana, deathrattle give us two more beasts* 2-2. Great presence on board and trades.
-Sylvanas Windrunner: another tech card in the deck. Really good vs control and midrange decks. Combo with Princess Huhuran .
-Call of the Wild : one of our finishers, summon the beasts* of Animal Companion on the board. With one o two more minions on board we can rekt the oponent. We take presence and pressure, the two qualitys of our deck.
-Ragnaros the Firelord : the last tech card to beat the meta. The classic drop to win versus control decks, just a finisher, or in other situation can clean a minon( feel the rng). This card is so good, because nobody spect that a hunter will have a Ragnaros.
4.Replacements
-Harrison Jones : i think right now this card is usefull, so is difficult to replace, i think u can replace it for a Acidic Swamp Ooze to destroy a weapon and have more early too, or for Stranglethorn Tiger to get more presence and one more beast*.
-Princess Huhuran : u can replace Dr.5 for Leeroy Jenkins to have one more finisher, Straglethorn Tiger to curve and presence or Psych-o-Tron to curve and defend ur face and minions.
-Sylvanas Windrunner : this tech card is quite difficult to replace too, but u can try Cairne Bloodhoof , Hogger, Doom of Elwynn or Sunwalker .
-Ragnaros the Firelord : i think is a unexpected and really good card on hunter. i think u only can replace him for Leeroy Jenkins or N'Zoth, the Corruptor .
5.Mulligans
I need 50 positive votes to upload a concrete guide versus each deck of the meta, so i hope u will help me :) .
-Aggro: u want to reppel the aggro and control the board. Fiery Bat , Huge Toad , King's Elekk , Eaglehorn Bow ,sometimes Unleash the Hounds and if u have good curve Animal Companion .
-Midrange:u want to control the board and make pressure. Fiery Bat , Huge Toad , King's Elekk , Eaglehorn Bow with coin , Animal Companion with coin and if u have good curve keep Houndmaster or Infested Wolf with coin.
-Control: u want to make pressure, but be careful and dont overextend on minons. Fiery Bat, Huge Toad , King's Elekk , Animal Companion or Eaglehorn Bow with good curve and Houndmaster or Infested Wolf with coin and good curve.
On some Match ups u can keep Freezing Trap and versus Control Warrior with coin and some good curve u can keep Harrison Jones.

- Thanks to all the people who enjoy this guide and this deck -
I replaced an unleash with a Dreadscale. It is really good.
I am yet to find out why ragnaros is good in this... I hate that card, only hits totems.
you cant beat agro
I dont get it... "anti meta" but I get raped by mages, these damn shamans, and control warriors with their tons of armor... C'thun mages have every spell possible to get rid of minions of board and gain advantage, C'thun druid have just so many taunts. I certainely do not play this deck at its best, but at rank 17-16 it is horrible. I can hear you from here "you're only 17 bla, bla"... but, yeah... it's just hell. I could play aggro hunter but I don't like it much :/
To be honest I'm recently playing with this deck (well, without Princess Huhuran) and it works amazing, about 2-3 hours and I went to rank 5 from 13. I'm losing only when I'm just unlucky with card draws. You just have to fight for board control, which vs aggro decks like shaman is mostly making a tempo plays, for example even if you don't have any beast, you still play Houndmaster to be able to kill enemy minions. Try to have the cheapest starting hand possible, trade all the time, use spells like Kill Command on minions to kill them without losing your board. Versus Contol deck is much harder, but still beatable. Tempo/control mages usually don't have much heal, try to kill them as fast as possible. Warriors can kill your minions with execute, shield slams, etc. The key to win is not losing board control. Then it should be easy to kill most of decks on the ladder now.
:D
Eater of Secrets kappa
Ever tried King Crush? what are your thoughts on him?
i build a similar deck on my own but with the king instead of rag, Crush did a lot of work for me winning games actually :D
this deck still competitive (rank 5 -> legend) even without princess?
Who is the guy on his friends list that is legend rank 1?
Can't get past rank 10.
Losing the matchup against control priest.It's like unbeatable.
could you add matchups in your description ?
or give tipps ?
I'm tryin' to roll with this deck, but I can't .
you just play on curve dude, this deck is pretty simple. just use the mulligan guide.
Loving this deck!
I'm having a semi-tough time with Flamewreathed Faceless though, any tips on how to best deal with it?
But should I go as far as keeping one of those in the mulligan vs Shaman or still better to aggressively go for good start curve?
Yo yo, dudes. I made a video about this deck. I'm glad that there is finally a pretty decent hunter deck, but with call of the wild it's ez pz. Now I seriously like Stampeding Kodo in this deck, it can definitely deal with some taunts like Bloodhoof Brave easily and cards like Acolyte that can draw. Ragnaros is also a pretty nice addition, cause people usually don't expect him, the only problem is that you don't really have too many 1 and 2 drops. but the curve gets easily stabilized. Check out my video and leave a comment or two.
Yeah, man.
Is there a call of the wild replacement?
My beef with Ram is that when you don't have a beast, it is so bad to play him. Princess has good stats. Stranglethorn Tiger is super good in this deck if you don't have princess
Am I the only one who thinks you should definitely play N'Zoth over Ragnaros?
