  3. Please answer if you are a good wild player. 
  4. Thank you for your time, ideas and suggestions.

For few months now, I have been trying to make this deck work: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/2826-wild-hybrid-hunter-secret-beast.

The original idea was to use the card draw advantages of Master's Call and Subject 9, while utilizing fun cards like Zul'jin and Deathstalker Rexxar. That did not work. This deck simply cannot climb past rank 5, and honestly is struggling through ranks 9-10 this season (falling all the way from Rank 3 to Rank 10 in one week is painful). 

SO....

  1. If you have any idea on how to make this deck work....
  2. If you have any idea what strategy I should consider for this deck....
  3. If you tried it and found the problems...

I am open to any suggestion (I can't fall lower than rank 10 this season anyway...)

THANKS!

    For my own experience, Quick Shot never worked with Master's Call. It doesn't function well because you can't draw most of the time and the card is only deal 3 dmg most of the time. Also 1 copy of Ironbeak Owl is enough I guess.

    I would change Quick Shots with Hench-Clan Hogsteeds and one Ironbeak Owl with Deathstalker Rexxar since Deathstalker Rexxar is an essential card for all of the Hunter decks in wild.

    Also Vicious Scalehide and Dire Frenzy is just a fantasy most of the time. Using Scavenging Hyenas and Timber Wolfs are better choice with Springpaws to finish quick instead of hoping some heals from them. Deathstalker Rexxar is all you need for survivability.

    Also 1 copy of Savannah Highmane is always good in hunter decks and for your secrets, Wandering Monster is always a better secret option for aggressive Hunter decks, instead of Cat Tricks.

    Well, with my requests, the deck is simply evolving into classic Mid-Range deck but I guess that is more effective, at least I'm seeing it like that.

    I will share my preffarable deck here. just wait a minute.

    Also I would even change Ironbeak Owl with Zul'jin for more Animal Companions + other spells and Tracking withCandleshot since it is always a good option to find Deathstalker Rexxar or Zul'jin quick. So you can change Candleshot with Tracking and Ironbeak Owl with Zul'jin.

    or keep those and replace them with Wandering Monsters or even replace them two with 2x Trackings too with 1 more Tundra Rhino.

    I would use this instead of yours honestly. Ofcouse you might not like this playstyle if you like hybrid style but i m seeing this as more efficient than hybrid one.

    I second what Almaniarra said. Secrets and Zul'jin are too slow in the current wild format. Go hard (mid-range) or go home.

    For what it's worth: This list has been dubbed tier 2 in vS' latest wild report: [URL]//www.vicioussyndicate.com/midrange-hunter-6/[/URL]

    I'd just go with that one if I were you. It's more than legend viable.

    Thank you all for your suggestions and ideas. You gave me a lot of material to work with this weekend. 

    I will definitely try the Mid-Ranged deck lists to climb a little bit and feel how they work. I will then adapt my hybrid list according to your suggestions. 

    The biggest problem of course, is Big Priest. This is why Cat Trick  and Ironbeak Owl are there (the Cat Secret also gives a stronger opening against Mages). However, the Owl doesn’t work too well. 

    Thanks again for your suggestions.

    Enjoy your weekend!
