The Dwarf looks odd.
Eaglehorn with no Secrets?

While it gets better with Secrets, Eaglehorn is fine as removal, especially with a lot of Aggro decks running around.
However, I would actually look into getting some Traps in there regardless. Freezing or Bear do well last I knew.
Also, my advice for playing Hunter is always count how much damage you have in hand. I always forget and I've missed lethal plenty of times.
In this meta I can't imagine why Explosive Trap isn't used. Just seems like a no-brainer.
Starting to think Tempo Warrior isn't tier one either, its pretty damn good against aggro but feel too many bad matchup against midrange deck, its favorable against Shaman, lose to Hunter and C'thun deck, not really shine against heavy Control either
You easily get bad value from Explosive, Freezing is better.. explosive isn't helping much if you swarmed badly anyway

Tips on good budget improvements for this midrange hunter deck? I know i need a second CotW, but that's expensive. I have gotten no value out of the cult sorcerer but that could be a result of playing poorly.
I'm a big fan of deadly shot. I do think it's pretty useful as a removal for big minions like rag and such

In my list I dont run firey bats or the dwarf and cult master. I also run 1 tracking instead of double hunter mark
Yup, I actually like it and it fast.

fuckin' called it, man
Harrison Jones'd a doomhammer and it felt great. Didn't overdraw either, ended up with 9 cards in hand.

You play Cult Master with Unleash the Hounds and sacrifice all the hounds for card draw. Hold back on your plays until there's a good turn to combo.Tips on good budget improvements for this midrange hunter deck? I know i need a second CotW, but that's expensive.

Step 1) Set card back to Legend.
Step 2) Use Golden Priest
Step 3) Build a Tempo Priest deck
Step 4) Enjoy all the new friends who add you asking what the hell kind of deck you're playing and is it posted anywhere online.
Step 5) Post that deck on Neogaf:
2x Circle of Healing - Hold for big card draws with northshire, or play it when you can heal a minion by +4 health.
2x Forbidden Shaping - Play it on curve if you have no other options. You want the board so fight for it.
2x PW: S
2x Northshire Cleric - Don't play this on turn 1 unless you are up against aggro or tempo
2x Light Warden - Always play this. On turn 1 it will probably draw removal. If it survives into mid-game it can wreck.
2x SW
2x Wild Pyromancer - Hold for a combo vs Zoo or Shaman.
2x Flame Juggler - Always play it.
2x SW
2x Injured Blademaster - 4/3 is sometimes good on curve, so don't be afraid to play it. Heal it as much as you can and use him for trades
2x Shattered Sun Cleric - Buff those early drops.
2x Holy Champion - A win condition. If it sticks and you get a good Pyro + Circle Heal combo you can easily win the game.
2x Holy Nova - Typically one of the worst clears in the game. When you actually have a minion on the board left from turns 1 to 4, it is actually really great.
2x Cabal Shadowpriest - Insanely high tempo card. Every popular deck is playing great minions to steal. Bloodhooves, Imp Gang Boss, Argent Squires, and so many more. Take them all.
1x Cairn - This guy fights for the board. You want the board. Use him to fight for it.
1x Ragnaros - This guy finishes up games. You want to finish the game. Use him to finish it.
Been trying this deck out. So far, so good. Very fun!
Played mostly Rogue tonight in brawl, Mage probably would have been better but I wanted a shot at Edwin. Here were some of the highlights:

This Tavern Brawl is absolute shit. Lorewalker Cho + Nat Pagle. What a great help. 3 straight losses because I couldn't get anything that could do damage on the board.

Personally, I'm really enjoying this brawl for some reason.

HS has had enough of my tempo warrior apparently 
I'm liking it too. There are some one-sided blowouts, and some cards like Dr. Boom, Kel'thuzad or Tirion are almost guaranteed game winners. But there are also a lot of drawn out strategic epics. It's like a Golden Monkey fight on crack.
I unpacked a King Krush...
I almost forgot he was collectible.
Do I even keep it? I could do with a Malygos. Heck, a Ysera even. I just need more dust. Then again I don't know what Epic he would turn into so probably not a good choice.

I had a card evolve into Gruul, and he got the killing blow - go Gruul!

one of the few times ppl are happy to see gruul
I've cut traps completely from my Midrange Hunter list. They're bad for the same reason all secrets were bad prior to Mad Scientist, they're only situationally useful and are tempo losses most of the time. If no one played secrets in any tempo lists prior to Naxxramas, there's no reason to do it now in Standard.
Grind for what? You getting daily quests every match or something or you got 120 gold now for 10gold every 3 wins?

Yeah as long as you don't take it seriously there's some hilarious setups.
looked at a few, crane, thijs, loyan etc. They are all bringing exactly same shaman list, which is also the number 1 list on tempostorm.com metasnap, never doubt t/s.
That's the general assumption.
