At Bronze everything kinda works, as most people there don't even have all the cards to build any consistent deck.

 

Okay thanks.  Um....so......what?  I'm losing to early game perfect draws most of the time.

 

Unlikely.

You are probably losing due to lack of skill if it's in bronze ;)

Or if you truly think it's just due to early game draws, play a deck stuffed full of early game and see how it goes 4 u. 

Yasuo decks are not straightforward, and not really that strong atm on the scale of things.

If you want an easy deck to climb fast, just play some brainless spider aggro (shadow isles x noxus)

been trying out some Yasuo. he kinda struggles vs meta decks. but is fun when he pops off =)

Lord Godfrey and Zilliax for sure.

Godfrey is the best legendary that Warlock has received in a long time, and it's just a fun board clear to carry on the Defile theme.

And Zilliax is one of the best designed cards that they've ever come up with. The fact that it's been an auto-include for so long, without needing any kind of nerf, and never really felt bad to play against - they totally hit the sweet spot with this one. Unity, Precision, Perfection. 

Edit: Missed the part where this article is just talking about Witchwood cards. Whoops! Jumped the gun with good ole Zilly. 

Next:

Godfrey was in this set, right? By far my favorite board clear.

Let's take a moment and remember that this set originally included Baku the Mooneater and Genn Greymane, two of the most degenerate cards ever printed that warped last year's meta in a terrible way.

While those cards are slowly fading in popularity in Wild (only a couple decks are strong now, whereas one year ago most of the high tier lists were odd or even), it's still incredible that they were the first cards to ever be rotated before the usual lifespan.

For what concerns current Witchwood, I think I'll miss Dire Frenzy, Houndmaster Shaw and Earthen Might, all cards I really enjoyed toying with.

Yeah, as much as it's one of my favourite cards ever printed, I'm glad it's going to Wild before even I tire of it. A fun effect, but not one you want hanging about in Standard for all time!

As nice and awesome Shudderwock has been, im still pretty exited to see this card getting yeeted strait into wild.

Rotten Appelbaum.

A decently statted neutral Taunt thst heals.

Has found it's way into any number of decks as a nice utility card and solid mid game curve filler.

Not quite that late here. You could always save it until next weekend and be like "Wow! I have an entire weekend to try this out!".

Don't bother with kaladin last time i fought them they were playing lackey rogue a deck that thrives on randomly generated bullshit.

correct, i dont deserve sympathy.  i deserve all the hatred i receive. 

Quote From Actin

Yasuo is a weak champion. Hilariously enough, the reason the deck does decent is everyone wastes their removal on Yasuo and the beat down units overwhelm the opponent. I know reddit loves vlad and yasuo right now, but they're just not strong.

The fastest way to climb is to run elusive or fearsome decks. Both are still ridiculously strong and it's nearly impossible to brick on your opening hand with them. Shadow Isles/Ionia is the most broken deck now. You have complete control, lost cost spells, and an answer for everything

where can i find those deck lists?

sorry but i not a native speaker what give people a pause mean? is it good? i also like riot design  choices hope they keep it after launch.

Abominable Bowman works great in albatross hunter.. Nine Lives + Necromechanic for 2 birds is lovely.

Edit- I just noticed it said standard.. I mostly play wild and I have only one mechathun deck  for standard.

Epic! Thank you!

I normally disagree with the idea that competition is going to force hearthstone to increase it's quality because normally others game don't look as polished or simply don't have the support required but with MTG going to mobile a lot of it's base may actually switch over. I know for a fact I'm going to try it out.

Hi Hunters,

I've been looking to freshen up my Rexxar gameplay lately and was wondering what off-meta builds folks have been experimenting with in Standard these days? 

My main goal is to use under-played cards/synergies to generate novel problem solving opportunities for myself (and hopefully my opponent) in Casual mode (i.e. winrate <=50% is OK/expected).  Below are a few examples of what I've been tinkering with for the last couple weeks.  I'd love to see what people have theorycrafted for these type of archetypes as well as any other of your own crazy conctions!

• Beast Highlander - Gives an excuse to play cards like Octosari as well as a super long-shot combo where Scarlet Webweaver hits King Krush and then you use Escaped Manasaber to play the discounted Krush + Dinotamer Brann on the same turn
       
• Off-meta Unseal the Vault Hunters - I wish Licensed Adventurer enabled more combos for Quest Hunter in the late game, but so far I've really only built around Onyxia as a new threat with the coin.  However, being able to play 3x SN1P-SN4P + Hero Power on Turn 10 is also a nice change of pace.
  • Highlander Vault is pretty fun but Deathrattle Vault with Nine Lives and Deathwing is my pick at the moment.
  • Has anyone tried a Mech Vault build?  I could see one with Chopshop Copter having a little spice to it.
          
• Chef Nomi / Mecha'thun  Hunters - I like to try cycling with Arcane Fletcher each season and I think it might be in its best spot ever as the 1-drops aren't terrible at the moment (e.g. Dwarven Sharpshooter, Secretkeeper, and Springpaw).
  • Add in a few other deck thinning options like Tracking, Phase Stalker, and Diving Gryphon and you're well on your way to Nomi or Mecha'thun!
  • I also like to include a sidequest or two so I can run 1 copy of Licensed Adventurer and use that coin to play Archivist Elysiana + Baleful Banker on Turn 10 to experience the good ol' days :D
          
• Token Beast Hunter - A token deck without Quests so I don't feel pressured to play all the quest cards.  Instead we pump up our tokens with Spirit of the Lynx, generate value from them with Witch's Cauldron (replaying the spells via Zul'jin later), and draw from them with Cult Master. 
  • Fresh Scent and Veranus spice up the list a little from past seasons
         
• Midrange Weapon Hunter - This archetype has been awful for me, but I always try to include Bloodscalp Strategist in a build each season. 
  • To mix things up I've tried using Skydiving Instructor to thin out weak draws like Dwarven Sharpshooter and Shimmerfly in the midgame and then use Mojomaster Zihi to keep things in the midgame.
         
• Bad Luck Albatross Stuffer - After feeling the salt from a series of Embiggen Druid match-ups, I made something that has no intention of winning...you just stall and hope to frustrate their draws with as many 1/1s as possible.  Naturally, this invovles removal cards + Albatross, Nine Lives, Ramkahen Wildtamer, Dire Frenzy, Revenge of the Wild, and Zul'jin.
  • This deck also gave me the opportunity to play Tentacled Menace in the hopes of discounting two of my cards to 1-mana.  As a result, I throw in a Colossus of the Moon for the super rare high roll.  

Other builds I know I'll be experimenting with until the next expansion:

• Typically try a couple Flark's Boom-Zooka decks - one with big beasts and revenge of the wild and another with deathrattle minions and Deathwing
      
• I also really like the memes that Blatant Decoy enables with little-used cards like Colossus of the Moon, Big Bad Archmage, and Ysera. 
  • Unfortunately, when you combine the Decoy with Nine Lives it doesn't pull another minion from your hand.  Instead, it gives you another copy of Blatant Decoy and then pulls that new copy into play.  However, I've been meaning to try Nine Lives + Necromechanic to see if it will play the new Decoy and then pull a big minion from my hand.
        
• And when I'm really burnt out I'll make a full Casino build featuring Drakkari Trickster, Mischief Maker, Transmogrifier, Wyrmrest Purifier, etc. 

It's kind of crazy that, although I've listed a bunch of under-used cards, there are still a number of fun-looking ones I haven't touched this season like Dread Raven, Chromatic Egg, Body Wrapper, etc.

Please share any crazy Hunter theorycrafts you've been testing below!!
