General strategy

Your main goal is to utilise Beast and Dragon synergies in order to overwhelm your opponent, with a turn seven finishing blow fromDinotamer Brann’s summoning of the mightyKing Krush(along with your army of minions from previous turns).Dragonqueen AlexstraszaandZephrys the Greatshould help you on your way if you need a little bit extra too.

Early Game: You’re a Hunter, so play out early minions as much as possible. Given the natural lack of consistency this deck has, each game will begin very differently. With this in mind, play what you can and don’t get behind on the board. You have early-game minions likeDwarven SharpshooterandPhase Stalkerto contest the board, and your spells can be excellent tools to react to enemy moves.

Mid Game: This is where you start to take hold. YourImprisoned Felmawwill be waking up, whilst the more expensive minions in your hand can be played now. Begin hitting your opponent’s face for damage if you get the chance, and ensure you weigh up the benefits of each trade before committing.

GetStormhammerplayed once you’ve got a Dragon on board, and you’ve got a free 3 damage every turn. We’ve chucked a bunch of Dragons in this deck to enable this weapon’s ability, so keep an eye out and ensure you have one in play before swinging this weapon.

Highlander Hunter Mulligan Guide

Despite the staying power of this deck, you don’t want to get overrun early on.

1.Dwarven Sharpshooter: A well-statted 1 drop that’ll give you a great deal of flexibility with your Hero Power.

2.Imprisoned Felmawis a 2 mana 5/4. Insanely powerful, aside from the fact that it’s Dormant for a couple turns. Playing it early will mean you get its benefit sooner, and it’ll even attack an enemy upon awakening.

3.Phase Stalkeris great early game, as it’ll let you get Secrets out of your deck and in play, strengthening your later draws and boosting your board state.

Highlander Hunter tips, combos and synergies

Highlander Hunter is a simple deck to play, but keep an eye out for the following synergies and situations:

-Siamatis an amazing card to play in most situations. You’ll likely be using Rush and Divine Shield most of the time, but it’s important to keep an eye out for when something like Rush andWindfurymay be better.

-Zephrys the Greatcan be used early to ensure you curve out properly, but it’s probably best used for that extra oomph in the late game. He’ll find lethal for you too, so if you think one of the options is a bit of an odd one, think about how you could play it for a win.

  • Your Dragon package is extremely powerful, particularly alongsideStormhammer. It doesn’t lose Durability when you have a Dragon in play so try to always fulfil this requirement.

-Nightmare Amalgamis in this deck to activate Dragon synergies, but also works as a Beast for minions likeScavenging Hyena.

-Veranusworks likeEquality, but with a 7/6 body attached. AlongsideUnleash the Houndsit acts as a full board clear.

  • NegrandSlam, if you manage to play it on an empty board, deals 9 damage directly to the enemy face. A great closer if possible.
