I can second this. I haven't played as much as I'd like to, but managed a winrate about 50%. Didn't pull off the combo once yet. The closest I got was having three Krushes in hand and killing my opponent with one of them because I couldn't find Leoroxx. It's a decent enough deck that makes use of really interesting Hunter cards that haven't been very popular so far. I like it very much! Also thumbs up for the very detailed guide! I figured it out myself more or less, but some Mulligan advice would be a great addition. ;-)

Congrats griffior!
I agree with you and RavenSunHS. I made it to legend in Standard in the old system once with Mech Hunter which was great because I "discovered" the viability of the deck before it became popular. The experience wasn't my idea of fun nevertheless. Same goes for wild, where I did it with Darkest Hour Warlock merely 2 days before the nerf bat killed it. I don't think I'll ever do it again, since I'm playing to have fun in both formats right now, which means constantly switching between decks and trying out off meta stuff like YourPrivateNighmare's Hunter deck.

Alright, I finally went through my whole collection and dusted all the duplicates and goldens that aren't likely to be nerfed soon. Lo and behold, I got enough dust together to craft your list and the Pure Libram Paladin meta deck.
Thank you so much for sharing this, your deck is great fun and competitive enough not to get too frustrated playing it. I only wish Xarkkal was still around, he surely would have enjoyed this.
I think the point should still be given to Dermostatic.
No, I don't think so. I'm almost 100% sure evasion was deliberately chosen instead of ice block, which is the far more well known immunity secret. So Live4vrRdieTryin earned the point.

Quite a few candidates for this, if I'm guessing correctly that the card we're looking for makes your hero immune for one turn. I'll guess Violet Illusionist for starters.

This looks really fun! Thanks for the great write up and keeping us Hunter players sustained! Sadly I probably won't get to play this deck, I'm missing Beastmaster Leoroxx, Professor Slate and at least 1 epic, maybe even 3 of them (probably dusted the fletchers, I'm not sure). :-(

I'm sorry you didn't like it and I admit that I'm not really good at creating riddles. I wouldn't say it made 0 sense, though. Even if you aren't into those things, just entering "number of the beast" into google would have given away the 6 (and an iconic Iron Maiden song to enjoy). To say/shout/scream is a code word common enough in this thread to be recognized as a battlecry card and using the quest instead of a minion was just me trying to make it a little harder. Maybe all that together was too much, but I prefer riddles that require some out of the box thinking instead of references to flavor texts or something. I'll try to do better and not wander too far from HS content next time. Finally, I want to add that I'd never make an unfair or overly complicated riddle on purpose. I enjoy solving your riddles way more than providing my own, so I'm quite contraryly to your statement interested in you solving them quickly. I don't want to be a bad sportsman and just offer low effort riddles, so I try to contribute as well as I can.
BTT: the line "a noble falls" makes me think we're looking for a "lord" or "lady" card, which there are quite a few of, probably with a Deathrattle. I couldn't find something that fits the rest of the riddle very well, but maybe it is Lord Barov? If it isn't, it would be nice if you could give us a hint or tell us if my reasoning was correct or not.
I guess I'll try out Big Warrior, then. Soul Mirror will provide me with the dust for either Lady Liadrin so I can finally try out Libram Pally or Beastmaster Leoroxx because why not.
The second line really sounds like Northrend or Death Knights in general. Uther is a noble and his "fall" might be the transition to his Death Knight form. The sound of the bones could be his new hero power.

Nice one, Corrupt the Waters is correct! I must admit I didn't know about the part you edited in. Everything else was exactly right. "say" = battlecry, "the number of the beast" = 6, "elemental" = water.
I liked how you reasoned out what was already known and put it together. Well done and welcome to the thread, I'm looking forward to your riddle!
Fire Elemental? I think the specific number is 6 cause the number of the Beast is 666. Fire Elemental costs 6 and has 6 Attack, also its name fits perfectly with the first line's hint.
Nice one, you got that exactly right! The number you have to "say" is 6.

Neither of those. The riddle has nothing to do with flavor texts. I'm sorry, the reference to The Beast can only be solved if you know something about a special type of popculture. I should have known from custom card design that this usually backfires.
So here's a substantial hint for the first line: think of "elemental" like fire, water, wind, earth.

Alright I guess I'm gonna blow some dust and try out both decks. And I'll also try out to sneak in Ace Hunter Kreen because I really like that card and got a golden copy from the preorder bundle. Rush minions + Kreen might actually work out.

So the first round of (card) nerfs has arrived and I don't know how to react. I could get 3.200 dust plus some more from spare golden copies if I hit that disenchant button and I'd really like to craft a few cards... But surely those two can't be all, can they?
What do you think, are there more nerfs incoming? And if so, when do you expect them?

Looks like R was too impatient to wait more than a few hours and the rest of us didn't pay attention. I'm sorry!

Valeera the Hollow's flavor text sounds fitting, so that's my next guess.

Thank you! I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but the speed with which you react to constructive criticism just never stops to amaze me.
Would it be possible to add a little table to the site of the mug that shows oz in ml? Just like with the sticker page that translates inches to cm.

Great haul from the felosophy bundle! I got Shan'do Wildclaw and Rattlegore from Scholomance, a golden Soul Mirror from AoO and The Boom Reaver from the year of the dragon packs!
I guess I'll try out Big Warrior, then. Soul Mirror will provide me with the dust for either Lady Liadrin so I can finally try out Libram Pally or Beastmaster Leoroxx because why not.
Is it Uther of the Ebon Blade?

Nice one, you got that exactly right! The number you have to "say" is 6.
But it's not yet the card you're looking for.
Congrats! I like that archetype, too. Would you mind sharing your list?

Sorry, but no. Again, The Beast is relevant, but not the HS card. Try to put it together with the second line!
