Stranglethorn Secrethunter
Hi together,
Had good climbs with this deck last season from 5 to 2 and this season from 16 to 8 already. With more time this is definitive a legend deck. Not gigantic differrents to all the other secret and face decks but finetuning a bit and found the stranglethorn tiger as a perfect solution!
Here are my stats with it:

Card Choices
Early Game
Argent Squire: Sticky one drop, i play 2 copies to ensure a good mulligan without coin
Secretkeeper: Must play in Secrethunter, so good. Even without a secret followed, a huge threat, always first target to remove for your opponent.
Kindly Grandmother: You need something with 2 mana for the Board. There could also be Huge Toad but Grandma is al lot harder to remove.
Secrets
2x Cloaked Huntress for sure
2x Freeze, 2x Cat, 2x Snipe
no Explo, Snake or Bear.. this combination just figured out as the best for me. Bear is too slow and most of the time instantly removed. Snake is often not triggered cause u have an empty board. explo... could be good against zoo and shaman matchup but is completely crap in most of the other matches.. but will test it soon again
Throw down your Huntress with coin and let this be followed up with freeze and snipe. Awesome start and insane tempo. Snipe so good against all those 4 health minions... I think this is just the best secret combination.
Interesting Choices
2x Stranglethorn Tiger: My favourite card in this deck. Nearly guaranteed 5 Damage, Beast for Kill Command follow up. Throw him on the board and you've done a huge step in winning the game. Yes I know. 5 drop, comes late, wait one turn.... doesn't matter if you play the deck with putting constant threats on the board. In turn 5 you will be ahead with ur health ressource and you can afford to put a tiger on the board. Next turn will be amazing!
Argent Commander: Ok. This is a bit surprising... also for me. But he performed well if i get him in late game. therefore only one copy. Its another charge, another 4 damage or removal of nearly everything (Azure, Totemgolem, Flamewaker, ...)
Tracking: I dont like tracking that much. Use it wisely and think a lot about your choice. I like to get it late so i don't have to throw away that much in early game. Sometimes just saves your ass if you can choose your kill command or quick shot into empty hand and draw.
I think the rest of the cards is quite common. Double Animal Companion cause of always calling the Huffer ;)
Subs
Argent Commander and Tracking are the spots I'm going to test other stuff. Second Unleash or Explotrap will be possible Subs. Wolfrider and Reckless would be surprising new (and probably bad) stuff... but i think the setup as i posted it is quite good. Also thinking about Jungle panther, but will be removed too often from Aoe I think.
Edit: Thanks to my first comment, Barnes will get his chance soon. I'll update the deck if it fits in
This is it for the moment...I will post some Mulligan, Gameplan, Matchup Stuff if u want and if this gets some more upvotes.
Feel free to post constructive comments and give me an upvote if you like the deck, I'll appreciate. Thanks for reading!
6-1 so far. lost to a tempo mage who got cone of cold from his babbling book and turned the game. Traded an argent squire for barnes. loving the deck, so thanks for the list =)
Thanks man appreciate that.
I'm Not sure bout barnes. He's so much better in midrange decks where he draws savanna or Wolf.
Currently i'm trying second unleash instead of the squire but must say i really like 4 onedrops
Why not using leeroy instead of argent commander?
Cause i use both
quick shot is very important in an aggressive hunter cause it's either a cheap hard removal or in the mid/late game 3 damage incl. card draw into next damage,
if you want to replace it you could try explosion trap / wolfrider / second unleash / second tracking
Bad move hitting 1/1 into the 2/3 gave away the wolf for free had u not done that turn 3 you would've had 2 3/2 with buff from the 2/4 and his board clear.
this is a great deck for Barnes! I'd take out an Ardent Squire and put Barnes in there!
thanks for your comment. u're right Barnes could be a nice subsitution cause there would be only good outcome (no always houndmaster^^) and its the missing 4 drop. I'll give it a try in the evening
np man. just seems like the perfect fit in here, no bad situations.
