So, i am back with new hunter deck which has exceeded even my expectations.
What is new?
Bestial Wrath - This card proved to be quite good . This deck is all about beasts and board so who doesn't want free trade? It can make 1 drop trade into 3 drop and survive and thats huge tempo swing. Also it is face damage when needed. It can be replaced with 2nd Eaglehorn Bow, 2nd Deadly Shot, Tracking or Knife Juggler
Carrion Grub - average/good 3 drop, beast and 4/7 taunt dream. that's pretty much it :D can be replaced with 2nd Eaglehorn Bow, 2nd Deadly Shot or Knife Juggler
Scavenging Hyena - It is really good distraction if anything. But if it gets buffed even 1 time it becomes best 2 drop in the game, and it can get huge if left unnoticed. Also it synergizes well with Snake Trap, Unleash the Hounds and all the beasts this deck runs . Imagine situation where you are versus zoo and on turn 5 you play Scavenging Hyena + Unleash the Hounds dropping huge minion which zoo usually can't remove plus clearing enemy board, it is one of the best combos in whole game.
Powershot - This card has proved quite successful for me in almost every game. it helps you get back in game if behind or avoid trading to protect your board. It can be replaced with 2nd Eaglehorn Bow or 2nd Deadly Shot.
Ram Wrangler - This card took place of Stampeding Kodo/Stranglethorn Tiger for 5 drop in midrange hunter and yes it works really really well. There are 49 beasts from which only 9-10 being bad and 10-12 being insane.If this card doesn't work for you or you want to have safer pick replace it with one of 5 drops i mentioned above.
Snake Trap - This card is here for 3 reasons 1) It summons three beasts
2) there aren't many efficient removals for three 1/1s . There are 2 only, Warrior's Whirlwind effects and Mage's Flamewaker + Arcane Missiles which is possible they don't have in hand. with other AoE removals we are ok. like swipe, they waste 4 mana for our 2 mana spell. That is like giving us almost free turn.
3)They don't expect it, they usually play around other secrets and end up surprised :D
It can be replaced with Freezing Trap/Bear Trap/Explosive Trap .
I hope you will enjoy the deck :)
Its fun but lacks card draw. Several times im out of cards by the late game.
Going to work a second Elekk and a tracking in to help with that.
Any replace for Call of the Wild and Huge Toad?
you can't replace Call of the Wild but Huge Toad can be raplaced with 1x King's Elekk and 1x Knife Juggler
Nice deck! Quick Shot replacement?
1x Arcane Shot 1x Eaglehorn Bow
Hey dato, another fine deck by you :)
Just tried it on rank 7 and it was working quiet nice (lost the 2nd game versus a hardcore lucky Yogg-sarron though :/...): Video

Tip for people playing this: Snake trap is supposed to be played after Houndmaster.
You put a taunt to force them to hit it. Otherwise in this meta they will just go face.
[Edited] =p
I don't think you know how a freezing trap works...
If they go face it still triggers freezing trap -_-
Guys, he clearly meant Snake Trap
Thanks for your innovation, I really enjoy the whole beast theme :) (Rexxar was the beastmaster in dota)
No offense erm but the fact you not sure whether or not to go face or trade is probably why the deck is failing for you.
Make smart trades and if there are none then go face. Most games by turn 4-5 I switch to face depending on how much reach I have in hand.
You should dominate against control decks.
I like the deck.
With snake trap and 2 unleashes, how about using knife juggler? you still will basically always have a beast to synergize with.
Juggler for unleash hounds
I have to say I like this deck much more than your other one . Nice innovation !
I might give it a try .
What is up dude? Did u hit legend w this deck? I love hunter but it seems meta hurting really hard, will give it a try before crafting cards for other classes.
Good initiative, have everything but that tricky snake trap :( Keep up sharing ur experience! :D
i play like 1 hour a day so didn't hit legend yet, meta isn't really hurting tho, in this meta warrior is top class which is countered by hunter and i haven't faced many aggro decks yet but i have decent winrate against them lost 3 from 10 or smth like that.
Snake Trap isn't that important, sometimes there are situations where Freezing Trap would be better sometimes Snake Trap, can't really tell which one is better, i chose Snake Trap for the surprise effect .
i have written replacements , you can replace snake trap with freezing or bear trap but i don't think replacing bestial wrath with trap is good idea, i think 2nd eaglehorn bow is better but you can try it and write how it worked out :)
0-4 It seems like a great deck and I'd love to play with it more but I just cannot seem to win games with it. It might just be bad card draw on my end but I really cant find myself living to even get call of the wild, which means that this deck gets beaten by most aggro decks.
