2x alley cat
2x tracking
2x razormaw
2x golakka crawler
2x hyena
2x animal companion
1x deadly shot
2x eaglehorn bow
2x stitched tracked
2x kill command
2x unleash the hounds
2x hound master
2x infested wolf
1x tundra rhino
2x highmane
2x bonemare

Or one of the gazillion cheap ass variations of that.

And if you like that deck you can eventually get rexxar, have you gotten your free death knight yet?
yeah I got valeera and then disenchanted her
I don't wanna go for mid-range hunter bc
A) I have almost none of the cards
B) I have murloc paladin and aggro druid which work fairly well as budget, and I wanted to focus on building those up
Albeit with the rotation they both may get significantly weaker

New card reveal hype
Branching Paths seems good for aggro druid with the +1 attack & draw a card
The level up card also might be good wth some more synergy

Because I think that the best way to win arena games right now is with aggression. The traditional take on hunter is that its hero power is powerful but is not the best in arena because it doesn't interact with the board, and you need to be early to the board and control it to win with hunter. I think those are the things I want to be doing anyway the way arena currently is right now, which really allows me to leverage the hunter hero power.

Hunter has the best removal the best low cost-stat minions and the most aggressive hero power.

It shows in my results. I average almost 2 more wins with hunter than any other class.

I have noticed this in the arena and in the tavern. hunter, while it doesn't have the power cards necessarily you can still load it up with some key 5 cost cards along with early cost cards controlling.

@ deathnote

I do still feel at the mercy of rng lol, with every other class except for shaman rn. some1 gave me a shaman list that rocketed my play into a new ranking tier (probably considered low with the players here, I am nowhere as good as other players lol) but it was progress considering how long I have been stuck at the same rank.

I still need to work on my drafts for the arena. I am just not that great. I HAVE improved since I started opting for tempo instead of endgame control. it probs shld be obvs but I had some early success with it and just sort oof stuck with it I guess.

shaman is by far my fave class rn.

aaaaaand after only recently acquiring patches I think I way underestimated its value cos it is hard to wrap my head around how an early charge can effext the game so much but apparently it does.

excited about the xpansion but won't be able to invest as much as I have in the prvs 1s.

I almost never want more than 4-5 cards in my arena decks that cost more than 4, and I want those cards to be like savannah highmane and call of the wild.

I wasn't so lucky with my recent hunter arena deck and was forced into picking midrange.

I still like hunter in Arena tho.

I suspect you're not prioritizing the right cards rather than getting unlucky.

For instance, you should definitely take the 1/1s for 0 over a clunky 5 or 6 drop.

Yeah at home, I'll try to record my next one.

Derailing from Arena topic, I've been playing Evolve shaman lately and decided that I can't stand drawing Bloodlust. Every so often I can draw it and just win the game but I find a majority of my games that I just get pissed off having it in my hand. It isn't helpful to have the card if I can't establish a board presence and usually if I have that presence then I'm already in a winning position.

Am I wrong in thinking Bloodlust isn't necessary?

I know that as jade druid I feel like the only time I ever lose to evolve shaman is if they have a well timed bloodlust.

Well evolve loses to zoolock and splits with tempo. It also loses to all the "big" decks.
