Dies to Removal

Tbh I think I'll just switch to shaman mid and handlock for now. They're better for the meta and I'm not exactly married to hunter any more.

I think I might. I doubt there's as much pally in legend so it's not worth it for you, but that card is basically our only hope against pally. I narrowly lost one game because I threw it back in my opener before looking at their class (showing how tilted I was).
My dream deck would play zero leper gnomes, zero wolf riders, zero hound masters, zero Web spinners, 4 Shredders and 4 creepers, but oh well

At least I'm getting good against those decks. Before, the blowouts just felt like bs and now I'm consistently losing by 2-3 points of damage

There's too much fucking paladin at rank 7 for me to play hunter anyway

Basically, I like the shared "core" between the two decks, a and the unique cards of each archetype can be hit or miss

Yeah that's fair. I just hate a lot of the cards in midrange and like the tempo draws that hybrid gets; it's the most suited to me (over face and midrange), I'm just forever tinkering with my decks!

I built mid today and that was something I couldn't get over as well. It's not that I miss the aggro cards, it's just that I really don't feel like I'm doing anything that's all that powerful by playing hound master or webspinner

I mean, moving to infiltrator makes your deck more aggro, but if you were throwing back sergeants then it seems your play style is more suited to midrange

Sounds like you'd rather just be playing midrange hunter

Oh yeah. You would have been so good at hs if you got in earlier, just because 60% of the game was squeezing value out of everything, but only the magic players seemed to get that. Arenas were a breeze :swoon:

BTW, it you do end up making a write up somewhere for hybrid hunter, you should probably mention the whole cheating thing in your background/credentials. Don't want to have someone reveal that in the comments section of your first article, ya know?

I think it is so much better to have multiple decks when laddering because, without the ability to make a big switch, you can get stuck in a slump for a fucking long time. For example, when I was just jamming hunter, I dropped from 7 to 11, and it took me the better part of a week to get back. I'm still not the way recovered (got stuck at rank 8 5 stars, then later rank 7 3 stars), but hopping between shaman mid, hybrid hunter and handlock certainly helps me overcome the problem of losing trust in my deck and my draws after a few unfortunate losses.

Haha I guess you just eventually hit legend if you keep winning more games than you lose (not an easy thing to do at high ranks)

Oh. Yeah. I kinda went against my word just now and joined the dark side. I saw some dude streaming handlock and it gave me the notion that I'd be good with the deck, so I made the switch and found success.

Then this morning I got beat turn 4 by face hunter because I didn't draw any interaction.

Rank 1

Im zemanjaski 1145 if that helps.

cool. you shouldve just gotten a request from gazare

Yeah, I've found that and just made the switch

Got hunter dominance quest

Scratch that, Houndmaster seems so much better.

Also, Shieldmasta seems tasty. I'll try it in the Mystic slot, since that thing hasn't been putting in any work lately.

[deck]the most powerful thing in the meta[/deck]
Took this on a 13 game win streak from rank 14 to rank 8, dicked around with other decks for a bit, then got back on hunter for a 5 game streak.
I'll be playing hybrid hunter until someone gives me a STRONG reason not to.

What's your tag, zem?

I'd love so much to hop back on oil rogue now, but I'm at rank 15 and don't have much time to play, so I might be stuck on aggro this month.

Good luck to both of you on legend!

I just like my free wins lol

I like kezan mystic when 75% of players seem to be on mage or hunter

Fwiw, I'll run 2 freezing until it's clearly stupid to do so just because that secret is so much easier to set up.

I'm really not a fan of split secrets (except for the defensive secrets that mage has), and never really liked two quick shots. I think wolf rider is a better card since it requires and answer.
Since it's a new month, you'll probably run into a lot of other aggro decks, but as aggro starts to die down, you'll want to play another owl.
