Generally, the deck doesn’t work too well in fast matchups. Your basic Hero Power is pretty much pointless against Aggro, since you won’t rush them down anyway, but the upgraded one can give you all sorts of useful minions – with Rush/Charge (immediate removal), Taunt, Lifesteal etc. Between the initial AoE, Armor gain and a much better Hero Power, it’s a great card to have. Elven Archer in particular – not only it clears something right away, but also leaves a 1 mana 1/1 with Poisonous.ĭeathstalker Rexxar is actually great in the fast matchups.

Toxmonger is even better, as it turns your 1-drops into deadly removals. It also has solid vanilla stats, meaning that your opponent might not have a good way to clear it. The first one gives Rush to each one of your minions, meaning that it will be easier to catch up and clear the board. Sticking a Houndmaster Shaw or Toxmonger is going to help you greatly. Try to clear the board constantly – Flanking Strike and Wing Blast should help a bit with clearing medium-sized minions, while Unleash the Hounds and Deathstalker Rexxar will work better against wide boards. Similarly, your 3-drops are either tech cards or cards with low stats that speed up the quest ( Ravencaller, for example). Your 1-drops get much better in the mid/late game when you can combine them with Toxmonger, but they are pretty weak early. Your minions aren’t exactly… of the highest quality. Unleash the Hounds is your only early-mid game comeback card, and it works only against a wide board of low health minions. While you want to try to rush the Quest as quickly as possible, remember that falling behind means that you most likely lose the game. When you play this deck for a bit, you’ll notice that it’s surprisingly slow. Your game plan vs Aggro decks is to control the board and survive. It’s something to drop on T3, which accelerates your Quest. Gluttonous Ooze – Against weapons decks.Elven Archer – Against decks running 1 health minions in the early game, so mostly against some of the Aggro decks.Lower Priority (Keep only if certain conditions are met) Prince Keleseth – If you play a deck with Keleseth, you obviously want to get it as often as possible.Fire Fly – Your best way to finish the Quest + a solid 1-drop in general.The Marsh Queen – Your deck is built around the Quest, so you always keep it.Check out our List of the Best Standard Decks for Hearthstone Ladder Deck List

If it gets more support in the upcoming expansions, it might actually turn into a meta deck. It’s off-meta, but it works pretty well in some matchups. Right now, the deck is close to being viable. It made it stronger, but not yet viable.įast forward again to The Witchwood, where Quest Hunter got some more support, and none of the deck’s vital cards have rotated out. Fast-forward to Knights of the Frozen Throne, where a lot of players have thought that Prince Keleseth might finally make the deck viable. Before the release, there were some worries about the deck’s strength (including the famous LifeCoach’s “don’t print the Hunter Quest” words to Blizzard), but in the end, it turned out that the deck wasn’t very strong. Quest Hunter, just like any other Quest deck, dates back to Journey to Un’Goro.
