A new season, a new midrange secret hunter deck!

In this version Vlps drops drakes/curator/call of the wild/bear trap/2nd snipe for horseriders/kill commands/kindly grandmothers/2nd tracking. He piloted the deck in a shaman-heavy meta to top 100 legend.

This is not an all-out face deck, but it's close. Make trades when necessary. We have 2 Savannah Highmane plus Ragnaros the Firelord for damage in the mid-to-late game. However, you often need to be aggressive in hopes of closing the game around turn 8.

Give the latest iteration of secret hunter a try, and good luck in season 32!

Due to the meta, the key matchup is with Shaman. This is why we want to be aggressive while maintaining some midgame power to push to victory. Keep in mind we expect board clears. Since we know Maelstrom Portal is coming, don't be too eager to trade in your 1/1 Kindly Grandmother. Let his AOE make you stronger.

Mulligan for: Secretkeeper, Cloaked Huntress, Eaglehorn Bow. Keep secrets only if you have at least one of those and it fits the current matchup. The dream start is T1 keeper, T2 coin + huntress + secrets, T3 bow.

Other starter cards: Can keep Animal Companion if you have two of the starter cards. Can keep Quick Shot for matchups where quick removal is helpful (druid, mage, priest, shaman, warrior). Can keep Kindly Grandmother with coin but I prefer to dig for the main cards.

I will add to the guide as I have more time to play test the deck and compare it to previous secret hunter lists and the current meta.

Here's a game play video from Khristophesaurus so you can see the deck in action:
