Hello friends. I've noticed that since the last wing of Karazhan came out, most of the more aggressive style Hunter decks have started to underperform. I've also noticed that in terms of time to death, the clock appears to have gone back by about two turns.

Previously, I have uploaded a couple of "fun" control Hunter decks that were well received from the admittedly limited feedback that ensued. These were entirely inboxes filled with funny yet encouraging memetext and I thank the users that corresponded with me and helped me develop this deck.

So, on to the deck;

Game Plan:

1: Mulligan for lower cost cards (always mulligan Coldlight Oracle)
2: Control the board
3: Draw cards with ruthless abandon
4: Out value and out number the opponent
5: Kill them with either Call of the Wild or N'Zoth, the Corruptor
6: Heal at strategic times to avoid dying. It's usually okay to play Apothecary or Farseer to little effect, but try to avoid wasting Reno. Timing your Reno until the last possible turn is important so I would suggest really thinking about your opponent's possible lethal combos. Don't be discouraged by "weird" lethal, sometimes people run jank, just like this deck.
7: Hero power when you can, we're an aggressive control deck!

Your actual mulligans are fairly standard, you want to keep low minions and Powershot against aggro decks like Zoolock and you mulligan hard if you don't have at least a 2-drop to play.

Weird Tech Choices:
Chillmaw's function is to give N'Zoth, the Corruptor a large taunt body and you'd surprised how many people do suboptimal trades thinking it's actually going to go off. Most of the time it will be 50% to draw Chillmaw from The Curator to give you a pretty solid turn 7->8 (or maybe 6->7 with coin). It IS possible to activate with Azure Drake, but most of the time you do not want or need to.

Coldlight Oracle is there to subsidise Hunter's lack of good card draw. We pretty efficient minions and Hunter naturally puts the game on a clock due to the aggressive hero power, so we don't care about the other player having more cards. In addition to being pretty good for us, it makes The Curator cycle much harder, increasing the chance of us drawing an important tech card like Reno or N'Zoth without even needing to use it. Generally best played late game and always mulliganed.

Arcanosmith Basically exists to kill a turn for the opponent and potentially give a strong body to Leokk

Potential card swaps: 
Cairne Bloodhoof is pretty good and not putting it in was completely for curve purposes. If you're secretly, deep down, a reckless madman, you can get rid of Cult Apothecary or Sylvanas Windrunner for Cairne.

Bear Trap->Cat TrickPerfectly fine, I just value the taunt more than the potential face damage inherent to the purpose of stealth minions.

Fiery Bat -> (any other low drop) Honestly, I've become a little bit disenfranchised with Fiery Bat as of late, and if you were to replace it with something like Acid Swamp Ooze, it'd probably be fine.

Tinkmaster Overspark It actually might be completely valid to swap Fiery Bat for this as it removes a minion without causing a deathrattle and more importantly, doesn't add it to an Anyfin Can Happen or N'Zoth, the Corruptor pool. I would consider it almost exclusively a removal card for opposing high cost deathrattle minions with the added bonus of it perhaps hitting one of your own low cost minions (such as an Infested Wolf token) and transforming that into a Devilsaur as the Tinkmaster tokens are beasts, and that benefits us!

Queries/death threats? Put them into the comment section and I'll read it within days.
