Update: Some have suggested swapping in another Explosive Trap for the Freezing Trap. Past rank 5 I have some success by doing so, but Freezing Trap can be a game saver against control matchups. Some have also swapped 2x Huge Toad for 2x King's Elekk. I made the change, but I ultimately ended up switching back to Elekk because I prefer the potential card draw and deck information it provides. 1x Deadly Shot or 1x Eaglehorn Bow seem to be they best cards to substitute if you're looking to put in another card like Unleash the Hounds or something else to combat the current meta.
I also just want to say thank you for checking out my deck. This is the first one I have posted, and I am thrilled that the HearthPwn community has been interested enough to comment and share their own iterations. I regularly check this site for deck building ideas and wanted to finally contribute one of my own. Good luck out there.
The goal of this deck is to put early pressure on the opponent with sticky deathrattle minions while using traps/weapons/removal to gain a tempo advantage until you draw into Call of the Wild to finish.
I had Kindly Grandmother replace 2x Huge Toad instead of King's Elekk. I prefer the potential card draw and deck information provided from Elekk's joust.
Barnes was swapped for Stranglethorn Tiger. He consistently pulls good deathrattle minions (Infested Wolf, Savannah Highmane, Kindly Grandmother) or a 1/1 Argent Horserider. Worst case scenario is a 1/1 Elek or Houndmaster.
Kindly Grandmother is a great addition and along with Infested Wolf they allow Houndmaster to have reliable battlecry targets. Also greater likelihood that the sticky minions will be around for Call of the Wild/Animal Companion buff from Leokk.
This deck seems to be as good as the name of the person who made it. I have been playing something similar, I don't think Huntress is worth it to have to play crappy secrets for "value". Might drop one horse rider for a tracking, as i find that you NEED to have Call of the Skill by turn 8, or you probably lose. Great deck, great name!
I totally agree with you. Secrets are so easy to play around. You are especially screwed when you do not have an Eaglehorn Bow.
Upvote. Solid deck, and IMO, more reliable than the Huntress deck that needs lots of secrets. This puts good pressure early on, and can both go face or fight for the board, depending on the matchup.
why not add an n'zoth into the deck or is it too slow?
Stuck on rank 12 with this deck, shamans wreck me easily. Idk, maybe bad lack
Working like a charm, good job! The extra card draw provided by the Kings Elekk is nice, but it is also (alongside the Houndmaster) the only card that works not very good with the Barnes and it`s always a bummer when you get those. At least they are beasts :P! Some gameplay footage: VOD Ranked

I agree wiht you, this deck works really well. It is a lot better than the crappy Hunter which for some odd reason got vote ups. I have no idea how and if people reached legend with that hence rank 5. Like you I am also currently rank 7.
I like it but i changed the traps for 1 tundra rhino and 1 toad cause both combine very well with barns 1/1 rhino turn 4 force a trade and add a 5 drop in the deck wich have non. Traps weren't used before there is no use for me to use them now. Good job on the deck.
Thank you for legend, man!
15-4 now. New "secret pally" is rising.
I like this deck very much. Probably my favourite Hunter deck so far and I have been trying out quite a few. I haven't played it much but so far I'm 4-0 at rank 7. What I especially like is that it pretty much plays by itself unlike Secret Hunter which can require some difficult decions and it can go totally wrong e.g. hand with only traps and no Huntress and I honestly have no idea how some people reached legend with it.
Nice deck Bro! I had 8 wins in a row for it for the first try, then a priest stopped my winstreak with this:
I played a lot of games with hunter recently at ranks 5-4 and I believe the secrets version works better in this meta .
Thanks for the tip; I'll check out the new secret archetype and see how it goes.
Would a stampeding Kodo work in it?
It would reduce the potential value of Barnes. Is there a specific card you're looking to replace or a deck your trying to counter?
Its goo2 days ago. now its 55% de winrate.
That's super slow soo probably not
What rank are you? I'm hovering around 60% past rank 5, but haven't had much time to make a good push.
Great deck, climbed from rank 11-->5 in about 2 hours (24-4 i think including 7 games of casual).
The only nitpick I have is that with just 4 2 drops, the deck can be a bit inconsistent at times.
