Spell Hunter Archtype: Future Of Hunter? Or Trash?

Seemingly, the Latter

As I wrote last week, this new Hunter archetype is interesting, to say the least.

The deck is something very new for Hunter and to be blunt, I think it's trash. I spent more or less 4 k dust to craft some of the cards and I am particularly salty about my expenditure. It's a fun deck, but not one that's good in my opinion.

In my like 30 games, I think I won around 4. The wins seem to be from pure luck or my opponent being afk. And unlike Yogg Mage where it's possible to win, this meme deck is just bad. If you get really lucky with your draw you can do some damage, but you have no waveclear really and if you don't draw Deathstalker you lost basically.

While the deck can have some nice tempo, against any sort of deck that has taunt or control, it seems as if winning is impossible. Maybe I am just playing it wrong, I mean the deck was seen at the Hearthstone tournament in Sydney. But I really think its just not good. Like at all. As someone who loves Hunter, I think I am going to try and master the deck just because Hunter has nothing else going for it.

I have attached a picture of what I am running, but I want to go over a couple cards. The bread and butter of the deck to me seems to be Deathstalker and Rrok'delar. Then "wolves" and animal companion are the support until you get either your weapon or transform to Deathstalker. While I love Huffer and Misha, the ability to get minions who will stay on the board seems impossible until Deathstalker.

Rogue, Mage, Warlock, Priest, Shaman, etc usually clear the board the few minions available to summon. I am just confused on the archetype and it just doesn't work. I am fairly certain I am playing it right and every game seems to be a struggle. I have an easier time with Midrange Hunter, which runs the old school standard cards.

As someone who loves Hunter, it's frustrating that even with a new expansion and archetype, the old school Hunter is still the best. After you summon Alley Cat turn on the 100th time, the deck gets a little dry.

At least with all the complaining from the player base, Deathstalker Rexxar will now use beasts from the new expansion. I don't think this change is something game-changing for this deck, but it does show Hunter does have a chance, or at least I hope.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
