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 -
Though I agree with you, I personally don't like the type of feedback since you don't give any alternatives. Personally I replaced her with Leeroy Jenkins, and I haven't met a single moment, I'd rather have used Princess Huhuran over Leeroy Jenkins
That you always type u instead of you is very annoying to read haha. I play a similar version since release but I still didnt got the Call of the wild from packs. Got 1600 dust for another legendary and still look for a good one but I would craft call if its worth it,
Deck is working pretty well for me I'm sure I will have more success after watching the stream. In your stream what add ons do you use to show your deck and also the boarder around your video feed. Thanks
Just had to come back and tell you how much fun this game is...i got so frustrated when I crafted Princess Huhuran and couldn't make any deck work, but this is finally a midrange Hunter that works
Strong deck (thanks !), can beat lots of decks as it can get stomped if you draw poorly. One of the really bad matchups I get quite often is Freeze Mage. The deck is still fresh and powerful.
Finally got legend for the first time yesterday, using your deck in conjunction with Aggro Shaman !! Thank you so much ! (https://imgur.com/RlmIqQJ)
Really like Midrange Hunter in the current meta, very powerful.
I personally prefer a slightly more early game- with such a bad hero power, and now AOE, it seems important- I like double huge toad and a flame juggler
What's your thoughts on Flame Juggler? Does Huge Toad's beast tag justify losing the immediate impact?
Flame Juggler would be the closest, although it doesn't have the beast tag.
Just craft it
Just get 2.100 gold and unlock 3rd wing of LOE :P
You should unlock whole LOE anyway, so many useful and fun cards, for reasonable price in gold.
This finally seems like a Deck I can work with (turns out N'zoth isn't needed to make Princess Huhuran work).
However, I took the liberty to replace the 2 Quick Shot with Snipe because of the many powerful 4 healthh minions right now (Totem Golem, twilight elder, etc.)
Also, I feel like a Cult Master replacing one Unleash the Hounds might be a good idea
Currently running Leeroy Jenkins in place of Princess Huhuran and its working for me ;) Nice deck Mac BTG!
I really love this deck. It is fresh, it is fun and it does extremely well against the current (shaman) meta! Call of the wild MVP.
I had such fun that I decided to make a video showcasing the deck, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
GL for the rest of the season guys!
Hey, nice video. You are higher ranked, but one thing I noticed playing against zoo is to always keep unleash the hounds till he floods the board, rather than playing it early. Especially with hunter's mark on darkshire councilmen or sea giant, it completely turns the game around.
I tried this deck in ranked, played 20 games, 70% winrate (14-6). Was 10 - 1 star and 8 - 3 star now. Amazing against slow pally and warriors ( 4-0 and 3-0), have some troubles against shammy and zoo. Any councils? And good job man :)
I am playing a similar deck but I am having explosive traps instead of freezing traps and believe me explosive trap helps a lot against zoo and aggro Shamans.
I was considering removing a bow for a deadly shot, since I take so much dmg. vs. aggro, and deadly is also good vs. control, but I also like your idea
I think N'Zoth is too good not to run in this deck. If you're already running syl, highmane, infested wolf, toad, and bat you're basically guaranteed huge value
What is with people on this site and misusing the word anti meta, anti meta doesn't mean a new deck that is good on latter, I would call this a new meta deck, not an anti meta deck. All that aside amazing deck, so fun to play and win with.
