Recruit Hunter (also known as Big Beast Hunter or simply Big Hunter) is a Hunter Midrange deck introduced in Kobolds and Catacombs and popularized in The Witchwood. The deck relies on reaching the mid-game to summon powerful Beasts such as 
King Krush, 
Charged Devilsaur, and 
Witchwood Grizzly with the effect of 
Kathrena Winterwisp.
Aside from the core cards, the archetype is relatively flexible. It can be played as a hybrid deck with cards from Spell Hunter, or take a more Deathrattle-focused approach with Devilsaur Egg. In any case, most of the other cards should be focused on surviving the early game so that Kathrena has time to come into play.
