The Hunter deck does feel really dependent on getting good L&L draws, but the biggest misconception I had about the Brawl going in was that the Hunter would be the more aggressive deck. The Mage's early game stacks up really nicely against the Hunter - the Mage has 1-drops and the Mage's 2-drops generally need to be answered immediately (except for Garrison Commander). Hunter's got King's Elekk and Secrets and not much else, and Huffer or Leoc from Animal Companion can end up doing almost nothing. The Mage shouldn't be worrying too much about hitting Inspire effects early on unless the hero power is independently valuable, as when a Fallen Hero is on the board (this card is ridiculous here). The Mage lacks reach, though, and can eventually run out of steam if the Hunter can answer its mid-game. If you don't draw your Frost Giants or Rhonin you're left trying to ping them down or maybe getting that last bit of damage with Polymorph Boar.

The Hunter has a really hard time early game, like I said, but tends to win if you can stretch things out. Generally you want to trade instead of going face, except perhaps with the 5/3 charger. Snipe and Bear Trap are good early game secrets, but because you're not playing for tempo and because Mages run out of cards you really want Freezing Trap to go off on something big. Use Unleash pretty aggressively to keep the Mage from being able to establish a board, since Mage basically wins with unanswered mid-game Inspire minions (letting the Mage sit back and use hero power in the mid-game is especially bad for you because it means that their Frost Giants will be dirt cheap later).

I'm definitely playing the hunter deck more controll-y, but I keep getting outcontrolled by the mage anyway. He'll establish board control early and then I have no way to get that board back.

I've played the mage more aggressively, but other hunters (i.e. not me) seem capable of rushing me down far better than I am capable of.

I think we need to have one chat because this is just confusing.

Spellslinger gives me Fan of Knives with Acidmaw on hand. Opponent drops entire hand including 2 giants.

*Thank you*

 

[Dahbomb]

I didn't make a new one, it was the same as the previous one that Xanathus created.

Don't know what's happening here, I could've sworn I invited quite a few of you guys before.

Anyway sent you guys the invite again.

Just a question is it called Hearthstone GAF? The one we used for TGT stream?

Yeah that's the one. It's the same one for the last time we did this for the Archon team league.

majiebeast. Removed the room see if readding it works.

Seems that worked thx Dahbomb.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

There are actually 2 different gaf rooms for hearthstone, which is probably what caused the confusion.

There's only one... DahBomb is advertising the same one as mine. Anyone can invite anyone.

After that the dude went on a tirade about how he doesn't play Patron decks because of integrity or whatever.

I was just crushed by mage late game twice in brawl. I managed to make it to late game with a reasonably close board 2x in a row, but he pulled out a coldarra drake and rhonin which I had no plausible answer to. I'm losing whether I play aggressive or controlly, here.

This really isn't clicking for me somehow. I can't find a winning strategy.

 

[Haunted]

I haven't won as a Hunter yet, I've lost only one game as a Mage.

I know others have had different experiences, but I honestly think that Mage just crushes Hunter here with much superior early game and midrange tempo. The inspire deck seems much more reliable and constant than the Joust deck.

The screenshot looks perfectly fine to me?

Some say its fine you me and Haunted say its super small wtf!

There was a hearthstone gaf chat room made months ago, so yeah there is another room existing.

 

[Haunted]

Giving dahbomb the benefit of the doubt here, it probably has something to do with people using different browsers? (Chrome, W7 here)

There, the important part:

I think Ram Wrangler is really good.

Just not in this garbo Hunter deck.

It's OK. I believe you Haunted.

PSA: it is possible to lose as a Mage if you draw 2 Kodo Riders and 2 Coldorra Drakes by turn 3.

The only reason the Inspire deck is more reliable is because the Hunter deck doesn't have shit to contest the board with. If you had a real deck go up against that exact same Mage deck, they wouldn't be able to keep a board full of Fallen Heroes and Garrison Commanders. I was able to beat the Hunter in the one game that I played because I had two Fallen Heroes up for at least 3 turns. He won every single one of his jousts, but it just didn't matter because I had removal (Polymorph: Boar and Flame Lance) and a 3 damage hero power. Dude just conceded when I played Maiden of the Lake, hit him with hero power twice and dropped 2 2 mana Frost Giants.

You actually have to make trades with Tavern Hunter, so no one knows how to win.

 

[Vitanimus]

What's the cheapest way to prepurchase TGT cards (in the UK)? With amazon coins?

 

[Opiate]

You actually have to make trades with Tavern Hunter, so no one knows how to win.

The issue is I'm getting outtraded. He gets a Fallen Hero on board and I can't remove it; I finally get a Jorumungar or larger minion on board and he either polymorph boars it or flamelances it. I'm consciously playing the hunter as a control deck and I still can't win.

When I'm playing mage, however, the hunters I'm up against seem to have tons of low cost removal and lots of board pressure. Maybe I'm doing poor mulligans, I'm not sure.
