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.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
