Usually until level 5-10, its just a grind for wins, since Face Hunter has the lowest average match times its a great choice to grind until you get skilled opponents, then you can pull out your deck that takes 20 minutes per match.

I didn't touch it until it was winning tournaments. It is a major player in the meta like it or not. I really don't like it but if it is a legitimate part of the current meta it should be played and understood. I do also think it is a broken build and should be nerfed somehow. After playing it a bit I also understand that I suck with it because I am too control oriented. I have a difficult time going face all day.

It plays similar to Mono-Red in MTG, but the hero power gives recursive damage so it's much more face orientated. I can kind of see why people would play it, and I can't deny that it's strong even in tournament settings, I just can't imagine grinding to Legend with it.

Having a ton of fun playing a warrior grim patron deck with tons of enrage minions.
Also the mage BRM challenge was awesome. I wish there was a true casual mode where you could play against battle net friends with similar random decks.

Some interesting card choices there. Can you expand on why you run two kill commands?

For the reach to get around taunts, or possibly blow up taunts. Maybe, every once in a while, even kill a high propriety minion with it that isn't even taunted.
I would just take out an abusive Sergeant for a second Arcane Golem. Better reach to have more chance at scumbag wins.I really like quick shot in my face hunter deck:
Deck has a 70% win rate so far, being 23-10, though its also the deck I'm using to quickly climb though the ladder so its no a huge surprise.
I was talking up Unstable Ghoul a while back. Thing is that Control Warrior already does decent against Face Hunter.
Most people use Zombie Chow over Annoyotron though. Comes out one turn early and trades up. I think at start of GvG some Handlock decks used to run Annoyotron. I used to run it in Handlock as well but found Zombie Chow to do a better job. Handlock already has enough taunts anyway.
Here's my attempt at an enrage-style Warrior deck. It basically wins if you get a good start and your opponent doesn't, but I feel like that's true of a lot of decks.
The Upgrades are from when it ran two Spiteful Smith and the finisher was Gorehowl + 2 * Upgrade. They'll probably be replaced by Axe Flingers whenever that wing of BRM releases.

Could anyone give me his Bnet tag so I can add him to my friend list and spectate his game to complete the daily quest?
Can try Toddhunter #1965 (on NA)
I'm doing 5 win face hunter so you might get lucky

Hopefully I win the first game.
Edit:
You're probably better off with toddhunter.

I never seem to get this quest, how do you get it? Is it only for people who bought BRM?
No idea man. I was really surprised by it, never seen it before.
Yeah I get it fairly often. Apparently it's so they can stay low ranked for easier gold farming or something?
I decided to try building a crappy face hunter build today, because why not.
The most satisfactory cheese win was against a druid with ermperor balance. (Every druid I encountered today used him)
I was at around 2 hp
He was at 11 hp
I had nothing on the board and only an Animal Companion in my hand
He had a bunch of legendaries on the board and at least 6 cards in his hand
When my last turn came up he decided to taunt me, which for some reason really annoyed me that time.
I drew kill command, put down companion which cast as huffer, hero ability and that was it for him.
Lesson for the day, stay classy and don't taunt on your opponent's last turn.

What's the role of Worgen Infiltrator in this deck?
It's another 1 drop that likely does face damage before it dies. It can also be used to trade up I suppose, for example against a 3/2 or even higher when you couple it with glaivezooka or abusive sergeant. I don't run the card in my hunter, but it's more of slightly slower mid-range type anyway. It seems like a good addition for the face hunter deck.
I had 1 concede this morning against a mech mage right after losing to two mech mages in a row when I started playing this morning.
I don't have a problem with people playing the same crap, but when people play the same crap and don't bother to put up a fight when there's a response to their opening plays.
Or people probably just want to roll face to rank up and don't want to bother with actually playing the game out.
As for QA testing, we're in it right now. Don't know how they add a card like Emp and miss those basic things with it. What else are we bound to find once the other cards are released.

Been doing a few games with mill rogue at ~rank 14. It's pretty fun, but it makes me really want a good midrange deck that uses Gang Up. That card is super versatile and fun, but I don't really want to play mill all the time.

playing face hunter to do dailies is the best excuse to be a bad person, I love it
We have some even here in GAF!

Hey, you can add me also. I just got the quest myself. Anyone feel free to add me, and let me know if I can add you as well. The more the merrier. Kunohara#2887. Sorry, I'm on NA.

The main use (besides going face), is to go face.
Beyond going face, it is really there to take out zombie chows. Without the stealth, you risk your opponent getting a board presence which means you have no choice but to ignore it and go face.

worgen infiltrator is a good tool to combo glaivezooka or abusive sergeant, because it doesn't die to hero power like leper gnome
but yeah if they don't play anything on turn 2 just hit face. If he wants to hero power off-curve to remove it then good for him

Alright guys, I've been gone for a couple months now. What do I need to know about the new meta and cards?
they told me 5 swipes were too much, they were wrong ᕦ( ͡°╭͜ʖ╮͡° )ᕤ
You can have more than 2 of the same card in arena?
