Welcome to the Hearthstone realm!
I'm thinking about crafting Zixor, Apex Predator for a variation of Dragon Hunter with Scavenger Ingenuity (tutor for Phase Stalkers too). Has anyone tried it, does it feel like a strong improvement on the original deck?

I made some modifications with dragon hunter, to include stuff like Diving Gryphon, Zixor, Apex Predator, Scavenger's Ingenuity and Scrap Shot.
It gives you some options when it comes to tempo, but it can't out tempo demon hunters and doesnt have the necessary value to beat res priest. It can beat any types of warlock, but that's about it.
Its not a good meta for tempo hunters. Your best bet is face hunter with Teron Gorefiend, or new quest hunter. Good old dragon hunter still works, sometimes, but just not good enough to beat dhunters and res priest, and also struggles with galakrond warlock too.
Unless some nerfs starts getting in, expect hunter to be good against the half of all the classes and absolutely trash against the other half.
Sorry for late reply, I'm grateful for your detailed answer!
Yeah, the same problems I stumbled upon with Dragon Hunter. Interesting idea with Rush package, too bad it hasn't worked out for you in the end. I'm now considering crafting Teron, seems like a good deal, and I like that new face deck :)
Surprising news: got Zixor from a pack today! I will test some ideas after all, will update if I get any good results. :)

I'd be curious to hear your experiences with Zixor as well! I played around with it the last couple days and really only found success when I devoted a lot of the deck to drawing and buffing him (as opposed to small packages added to dragon or highlander builds).
It really does feel like any type of midrange or slower Hunter will need a big burst and/or OTK package to compete this season (e.g. the Beastmaster Leoroxx + Krush combo or some sort of (buffed) Zixor + Scarlet Webweaver + Tundra Rhino combo). Though I guess this is the usual plight for those of us who dream in Control Hunter theorycrafts ;D
