Pros;
– Control decks such as Control warrior will be no problem; When you run big minions likeGahz'rilla , King Krush andDr. Boom , you will probably have your late game covered, and the hidden gem when fighting other control decks will almost every game be theSideshow Spelleater. Poor boys, getting a 6-3 body for a better hero power when you can get one yourself for a 6-5 body!
-The natural enemy of Aggro decks; This one is straight forward… Reno can make you beat the nightmare that is Aggro Shaman.
-A lot of answers Hunter's Mark , Dreadscale , Big Game Hunter , The Black Knight , Faceless Manipulator ,Harrison Jones , among other ones.
Tips and tricks; Wild Pyromancer can be used in a ton of different ways depending on how your game is going, you might use it as a worse version of equality if you Hunter's Mark an enemy, or use it this way; PlayGahz'rilla , if it doesn’t die next turn, Gg! Just put your little pyro and cast some spells, you see where I’m going at. Blingtron 3000 has become one strong guy after the “Cursed Blade” joined in, You can also do Harrison+Blitngtron for some fun plays.

Match ups;
–Druid; There are some posibilites, Mill/Fatigue Druid, Aggro druid (that one with the eggs and deathrattles) and BS ramp druid. If it is mill, play safely, dont put a lot of minions because they will be cleared easily, save up your important cards till the end. If it is aggro, just play like you would against any other aggro deck. And ramp druid is one of the hard matchups for this deck imo, Try not to get hit, this means use your weapons carefully, try to use a well timed taunt/Explosive trap for the Force of nature savage roar combo.-Hunter; It’s midrange or Aggro. Midrange is not going to be a difficult job for you, since you have those cleanups you can board clear until late game. And the aggro deck is pretty simple, just take care if you have -15 HP, since those Quick shots + Kill commands can kill you easily.-Mage; It’s Freeze/Secret/Tempo/Aggro. Freeze will be pretty easy for you, since you dont play a lot of minions the mage player wont kill them, until you deal enough damage, use kaezan/flare to get rid of those pesky ice blocks, and the boom bots are the natural enemies of the Ice block. Sectret is not played that much but it could get risky, Think about the posible secret that the mage is playing for the optimal play. Tempo is a hard one, You must trade asap against minions like Flamewalker that could get some out of control. Aggro will be fine, although you will need some RNG in your favor.-Paladin; Murloc Otk/Midrange/Secret. The murloc deck is a basic one, its just a midrange paladin with murlocs, if posible, try to rush him down, since he’s got that 30 damage on turn 10. Midrange; Not much to say about this one, we all know it, Minibots, Muster for battle, some secrets… Dreadscale+ Pyromancer will be great removal tools against it. Secret, the easiest matchup imo, after control warrior. Just flare. –Priest; It’s control, save up the Sideshow spelleater until the priest plays Justicar, avoid putting minions that could be traded and healed, for example a webspinner into a cleric. try to bait some of the removals for the big minions. –Rogue; If it is Oil/Tempo rogue, Enjoy destroying your weapon with Blingtron/Harrison jones. Most of the minions that you play with rogue dont surpass 3 hp, so you will have an easy time on clearing the board, careful when taking too much damage as they can deal quite the punch on later turns. Not much to say here, on the case of miracle, Save up your hard removal for cards like Malygos and Auctioneer.-Shaman; Aggro, just aggro, Careful when taking too much damage, put taunts, Doomhammer will give you as much cards as you want when played with Harrison.Warlock; Zoo or Handlock. Zoo will be a hard matchup, it will depend on RNGsus the fate of this match, If posible try to prepare your hard removal for Mal ganis. Handlock on the other hand is one of my favorite matchups as you can show him your late game power, just try to not keep him with low hp, if you are going to deal damage, Kill him or don’t deal it.Warrior; Aggro is basic af, Control is the easiest matchup as you can also stack armor with Sideshow, Harrison jones gets a lot of value, and his removals will run short in the long run.
Awww Shit, I forgot that Savanna highmane existed for a bit. That is a good replacement for Gazz’rilla, an awesome one at that
Hey man, this deck it’s a really interesting idea, thanks for all the explanation and case scenarios for all matchups. I intend to build this deck, however i don’t have the 03 hunter legend cards: Dreadscale, Gahr’zilla and King Krush. Do you think is still a playable deck? any ideas for replacements? Keep It the good work.
King crush is for a good finisher, it can be replaced with Rangaros, or Ysera if you want a bit more board control. Dreadscale is more of a utility card, that I love to use against things like muster for battle, you might want to get a Card draw or removal tools like Unleash the hounds. Gahz’rilla is complicated, there is no minion that does its job quite the way this card does, you could get Azure drake or Elise Starseeker. Elise is good because its a 4-mana card and gives you a card draw and Azure drake gives you a card draw and you never know if that 1+ spell damage could come into play with multi-shot, explosive shot or even explosive trap.
interesting deck. only problem is the lack of card draw.
well my problem is i dont have any legends for hunter 🙁
King crush is a finisher card as I said, you can just replace it with a big minion, Dreadscale can be replaced with some removal. and Gazz’rilla can be replaced by a big minion/Draw mechanics
You can’t have anything but you can replace some cards, Gladiator’s longbow has been one of my favorite cards since it doesn’t get that much of an use, and since you can use weapons to your advantage with Reno already (you take some damage, then heal) the whole being inmune thing becomes pointless in SOME cases. Blingtron is if you are feeling lucky, you can also replace it with some card draws, like Azure drake and Acolyte of pain, Even Finley. Hope I was kind of helpful.
Why not Finley? If you are against an aggro deck it can be great to get a hero power that gives you more board control, say the mage/druid/rogue hero power, or to get one that gives you more survivability (priest/warrior). Great deck and guide thought.
Finley works well, and you can replace most of the cards that have “destroy” or “steal”, since it depends on the meta, and because I’ve seen a ton of secret related decks, kaezan comes into play, but if people stop using secrets, Finley might be a great addition to the deck, and the other reason is the desert camel. Unless you can get an early finley, the value of the camel won’t be as great as it could be, getting a zombie chow, cool, getting a webspinner, cool, getting finley, the battlecry is unplayable, which defeats the whole purpose of having it on your deck. I’ve seen a ton of different control/midrange hunters that add some cards that are not used and you could find them fun, like the Elekk, Stablemaster, or even change some of the secrets, like freezing vs Snipe.
“to get one that gives you more survivability (priest/warrior)” Remember we have the Spelleater, which in almost every game you play against priest/warrior, Justicar is a must have.
Although against an aggro deck I do agree that Finley works well.
Hey, I missed out on a lot of stuff since I have that 5000 letters Limit, just ask me for some doubterinos.
