Hunter's popularity follows a familiar pattern of being quite high outside of legend, while dipping at legend. But what's happening within the archetypes is quite interesting. Both Big-Beast and Quest Hunter have seen Renathal builds emerge relatively later than other classes and gain traction. Why would we run Renathal in Hunter? That's a good question.

I bet you didn't expect Hunter to be the class that's utilizing the strongest Renathal decks in the format, but this is a fact!

Big-Beast Hunter is good. Big-Beast Hunter with Renathal is very good. One of the two best choices to climb to legend with, and a respectably good deck at higher levels of play, is only going to get better as Renathal takes over.

We're not sure anyone thought that the strongest utilizer of Renathal would be the Hunter class, but this is where we are. We already have a sense of what makes Renathal a positive component to a deck, so let's look at the two archetypes that utilize it here.

Big-Beast Hunter doesn't have a ‘clear' win condition, but it has a lot of tutor effects in Tracking, Selective Breeder and Pet Collector. It's also a deck with very weak defensive tools. If it gets pressured, it can only realistically start stabilizing past turn 5. Finally, its ability to close out games against defensive opponents is heavily determined by its ability to keep churning out threats, which makes the bigger deck less of a downside. Wing Commander Ichman is one card that becomes more powerful with a list of 40-cards, for example.

The featured list was made by Sidisi and is superior to the 30-card iterations of the archetype we've featured before. Battle Ram is very strong in this list, and you're not desperate for Azsharan Saber to pull beasts from your deck since you have more time with the extra health to play Ram-discounted beasts from your hand.

The most questionable card in the deck is Devouring Swarm. It's very weak, but we haven't found something better in this week's database. There should very likely be something better, so those are two slots the deck can find upgrades on. A second Azsharan Saber is one option. A Naga package is another option, but it requires a bigger overhaul. We're curious about Savannah Highmane because of this deck's thirst for threats. It's a suggestion without any empirical basis.
