Spell Hunter Archtype: Future Of Hunter? Or Trash?

Seemingly, the Latter

As I wrote last week, this new Hunter archetype is interesting, to say the least.

The deck is something very new for Hunter and to be blunt, I think it's trash. I spent more or less 4 k dust to craft some of the cards and I am particularly salty about my expenditure. It's a fun deck, but not one that's good in my opinion.

In my like 30 games, I think I won around 4. The wins seem to be from pure luck or my opponent being afk. And unlike Yogg Mage where it's possible to win, this meme deck is just bad. If you get really lucky with your draw you can do some damage, but you have no waveclear really and if you don't draw Deathstalker you lost basically.

While the deck can have some nice tempo, against any sort of deck that has taunt or control, it seems as if winning is impossible. Maybe I am just playing it wrong, I mean the deck was seen at the Hearthstone tournament in Sydney. But I really think its just not good. Like at all. As someone who loves Hunter, I think I am going to try and master the deck just because Hunter has nothing else going for it.

I have attached a picture of what I am running, but I want to go over a couple cards. The bread and butter of the deck to me seems to be Deathstalker and Rrok'delar. Then "wolves" and animal companion are the support until you get either your weapon or transform to Deathstalker. While I love Huffer and Misha, the ability to get minions who will stay on the board seems impossible until Deathstalker.

Rogue, Mage, Warlock, Priest, Shaman, etc usually clear the board the few minions available to summon. I am just confused on the archetype and it just doesn't work. I am fairly certain I am playing it right and every game seems to be a struggle. I have an easier time with Midrange Hunter, which runs the old school standard cards.

As someone who loves Hunter, it's frustrating that even with a new expansion and archetype, the old school Hunter is still the best. After you summon Alley Cat turn on the 100th time, the deck gets a little dry.

At least with all the complaining from the player base, Deathstalker Rexxar will now use beasts from the new expansion. I don't think this change is something game-changing for this deck, but it does show Hunter does have a chance, or at least I hope.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
