Since your deck doesn’t have any spells that cost less than four, this means you’ll always be doing at least 4 damage, but usually it’s closer to six. Dragon’s Fury is a great option for clearing minions with bigger health, because its damage is based off of the cost of a random spell in your deck. You’ll also be running Polymorph and Zilliax, which can help with board clear, but these are only single card removal options.īy mid game, against decks like Secret or Spell Hunter, the opponent has usually amassed a board of minions. At least against anything other than Priest or Warrior, whose hero powers cancel out yours.Those big board clear spells come in the forms of Dragon’s Fury, Blizzard, Meteor, and Flamestrike. It's surprising how effective this simple combination can be. Meanwhile use that nasty hero power and face damage spells to pressure the enemy life total. Try and use your minions to keep board control.
If you don't have or haven't drawn Rexxar, it's all about the classic Hunter ploy of direct damage. Better to pick effects you need and combine them with spells in your hand to grind out the win. Don't always build the biggest minions you can. His battlecry will often buy you a turn or two of safety, while you utilise his new hero power to create value and build you board.
The other victory lever is Deathstalker Rexxar. Then adding in 12-mana's worth of minions for a mere 5-mana can be devastating. You'll already have enjoyed the benefits of two secrets. That's why it can be worth keeping one from the outset, even though it's a turn 4 or 5 play at best. The closest thing the deck has to a single win condition is the Spellstone. Instead, once the game state has developed, it lets you go fishing for critical cards to swing things in your favour. Although it only costs one mana, it's not best as a turn one spell unless you're facing aggro and you really, really need an Explosive Trap. It can go toe-to-toe with almost anything and have a decent chance of winning if the draw goes well. Lacking a single killer combo, Midrange Hunter's value is in its flexibility. You won't get to close out the game if your opponent's minions close you out first! But if you need it to remove a minion instead, don't hesitate to do so. Kill Command is best kept as an aggressive, game-closing play if you can. And so long as you can keep a Beast on the board, Houndmaster offers a tasty buff with a side helping of Taunt to keep you safe. Animal Companion has a one in three chance of summoning a good speedbump. If you ensure it only has one target to hit, it's a guaranteed removal.Īs the game progresses, Taunt minions come into play as a second line defence. You can play the same game with Deadly Shot to get rid of big threats. Otherwise you have to leverage the uncertainty created by secrets and hope for the best. If you can thin the enemy board to leave it with a juicy target, do. It can be worth suffering a turn or two of early face damage before playing it, just so it's got plenty of targets to wipe.įreezing Trap can be a double-edged sword as you don't want triggering against minions with a Battlecry. The former needs proper timing to ensure it does sufficient damage.
There's randomness involved, but most of the time it will remove an early minion while leaving you with one on the board.Įxplosive Trap and Freezing Trap require a bit more cunning to deploy properly. Wandering Monster is the best catch-all solution. As a mid-range deck, the fact your board takes slightly longer to build can be a critical problem. This decks' biggest weakness is against decks with a very strong early curve. If you can't manage that, a second Deadly Shot will do while you save up your dust. If you don't have it, the ideal swap in is Savannah Highmane, giving you a big mid-game minion to play with. Sadly, it's pretty powerful, but the deck does work without it. There's only a single legendary card in this build, Deathstalker Rexxar. As such, it's a great choice for new players. It's just a collection of powerful, mutually supporting cards. As the name suggests, there's no clever combo powering this deck. Now it's revitalised an old and much-loved archetype, Midrange Hunter. So much so that it's made its way into more mainstream Hunter builds like Recruit Hunter. The package of secrets, weapons and spells used by Spell Hunter has proved very powerful.
