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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
