There's an inverse relationship between ranks and hunter's win rate.
Hunter has the highest win-rate in the game at rank 20-10 or so, and the higher you go in the ranks the lower Hunter's win rate is.
Do low ranked people play greedier decks that Hunter punishes? Or do they not know how to conserve their life total vs hunter hero power? Do they not play around hunter's burst from hand? I couldn't tell you the reason for this statistic but I find it super interesting.
What I can tell you is Hunter is my second highest win rate class of all time according to Track o bot, and that's because I only play it on my f2p account in the garbage ranks.
Yeah the fact that most of these decks are trading gadgetzan auctioneer for Ultimate Infestation say a lot about how good it is. I mean gadgetzan was part of what made Jade Druid so broken and they don't even need it anymore...

Okay, dunno why people think rogue is gonna be weak? I'm 8-1 so far. Just broke into rank 1, closing in on legend.
Lost once due to a fucking ultimate infestation top deck of this guy's life the same turn I played valeera DK so he couldn't push face damage but I also happened to have a minion on board. I mean shit, that 5 draw is broken imho. It should draw like 2 cards max cause you're getting 5 health, a 5/5 minion, and 5 damage. That much stuff in a single card shouldn't also get that many draws.

just beat a priest and he has anduin and jade idol crusher, two obsidians. Still lost to jade druid, ayy lmao.
turns out when I have 10 mana at turn 6 and draw my entire deck, it's pretty good.
reminds of me divine favor back in the day, people teched to beat eboaladin but when they drew their entire with one card, your control deck gets outvalued every time.

I saw an interesting use of the Rogue DK used against me. They used their copy card to copy all their jade stuff so they'd get much better jades than they've normally get. Also doubled up on Vilespine Slayer
So zalae went 24-0 from rank 4 to top 50 legend with his Jade Druid list.

I want to love Frost Lich Jaina but the Fire and Ice deck is not working for me. Anyone has a good decklist?
give him some more time and he will cut the other scales too, the card is pointless in this deck. I like black knight and spell breaker.

That jade list is indicative of a super greedy meta right now. Black Knight is probably insane.
It's been hit and miss for me. Really dependent on what I draw. You're finding it consistent? I mean, when it works, damn is it ever punishing.
Exhibit A in why you should cut Auctioneer from your Jade Druid lists and run Ultimate Infestation instead:
https://hsreplay.net/replay/dXBER98Jwc5Tiw8g9Pvgmn
Couldn't have had nearly as good of a start if I had Auctioneer in my hand. Instead I had 10 crystals and a nearly empty hand on turn 5 and was able to, on that turn, remove a threat, refill my hand, gain life AND get board. This card is fucking nuts. It's early but this feels like a contender for one of the strongest cards ever printed.
I won on turn 10, having drawn my entire deck at that point.

I'm 6 o 7-0 with it right now (the older version)
Feral and Scales were indeed performing poopy.
I guess I have to craft Fandral and UI. Stil has around 7k dust.
Yup, I haven't lost since rank 9, and almost rank 4 now. I keep <5 mana cards especially Raza in my mulligan.
Are you losing to aggro?

Deal three heal three? And for zero mana? Sounds like a pretty great priest hero power

That Priest 9 drop is ridiculous.

Gonna have to wait for Fandral Staghelm to rotate out. That should help ease their cards like norish and wrath.
Norish in particular is OP with Stag right now to help ramp up.

Fandral Nourish happens once in a high moon. It's a 9 mana play after all. Most of his value is in upgrading wrath and the threat he projects.
Nourish as a 5 mana draw 3 is perfectly in line of cards drawn per mana, just like draw 2s for 3. If post rotation druid still wants to draw the majority of their deck Nourish is going to be played just the same.
I disagree that you always want to ramp with Nourish now. It's a much easier choice than before but it's still an important decision point.

Fandral, as brokenly good that card is, is not ultimate infestation. Fandral got toned down at least a little because of rotation. Last year it was broken af imho.

Toast has been playing exodia mage all day because of the great druid matchup. I might be dumb enough to craft the quest, the deck is surprisingly cheap.

Spent 3400 dust to make the updated Jade Druid. Part of the problem!

Soon the hearthstone reddit and forums will be a mist with tears. Because the druid virus will spread like a... what the word for it. It'll spread like a wave? No. It'll spread like... well there is no word for it.
I've seen it in ramp druid too though. Mostly druid being played atm. I think ramp druid beats jade druid cause of deathwing and just so many bombs.

it's fairly straightforward keep the board under control until you can overpower them with jades. Hard mulligan either for ramp or removal depending on the matchup you expect.
Want a good counter vs Jade Druid?, I climbed all the way from rank 11 to 4 facing mostly druids and some warlocks, but I won like 15 straight games against Jades. Also if you somehow face too much agro replace toughtsteals with shadow word:horror. I honestly feel very proud of this deck

Saw this on HS forums, thought it was funny.
Ultimate infestation is like adding
starfire deal 5, draw 1
ancient of lore, draw 1, summon 5/5
shield block, draw 1, gain 5 armor
arcane intellect, draw 2
into a single card for 10 cost.

I'm doing my part and playing Pirate Warrior.
I think I see what you mean. I think I'll be spending money to get a good classic base then go f2p with preorders to reach rank 20/15/10 monthly. I don't need to get too far, I think I'd rather watch the pros in the future.
That's what I think right now, it may change in the future. I don't know.
EDIT: I like the game, I think it's tons of fun. I just don't have the time to get too far, so I either curb my expectations or become a small whale.
