Hit the enemy in the face until they die.
Hunter has always been a class that excels in combining its resources and Hero Power to play aggressively. With so many aggro tools available to the Hunter class, we’ll be seeing a fair bit more aggression from Hunters in the future.
You’re looking to use your Hero Power as much as you can, thanks to all the new Hero Power synergy this deck provides. We’ve added a Secret package too, since it offers a significant amount of coverage for aggressive decks’ weaknesses, as well as some great ways to finish off your opponent.

General strategy
This build requries you to play out all your cheap minions and kill the enemy before they have a chance to do anything about it.
Early Game: Your cheap minions are solid options early on.Adorable Infestationcan beef them up a bit (especially if you have anIntrepid Initiateon board), whilstDemon Companionoffers great cheap options for the early game in a mini-Animal Companionstyle.
From here, you just want to play out your minions as and when you can. And keep going face.
Mid Game: Don’t worry too much about trading! You want to be winning the game as fast as you can, so unless they have some kind of Lifesteal shenanigans going on (and you’re pretty screwed if they do), just deal direct damage when possible. Once their health gets low enough, your opponent will have to do something about it, so it’s all on them to counter your gameplan.

Face Hunter tips, combos and synergies

-Piercing Shotshould always be taken into account when you calculate how much damage you need to get lethal. Enemy tokens should be targeted to maximise face damage.
-Rinling’s Riflecan and should be used aggressively. If you can getOpen the Cagesto proc, you’ll be so far ahead on board it’ll feel unfair.
-Quick Shot,Arcane Shot, andWound Preycan godirectly to faceif you’re after that last bit of damage.
-Trampling Rhino’s Rush ability gives it a similar effect toPiercing Shot. Hit an enemy minion with not much health left to send the remainder of the damage to face.
-Warsong Wranglercan buff yourTrampling Rhinos, giving you more face damage thanks to its +2 attack power.
