Spell Hunter is a wild-exclusive archetype. For more information, see Game format. |
Spell Hunter is a Hunter deck type, that was first used after release of Kobolds and Catacombs. This deck has no minions to activate To My Side! and
Rhok'delar effects. It relies on minions summoned by
Animal Companion,
To My Side! and
Lesser Emerald Spellstone and created by
Deathstalker Rexxar's
Build-A-Beast.
The deck shares similarities with Secret Hunter, where the main bulk of the early game is playing Secrets to power up Lesser Emerald Spellstone. Although it doesn't get the benefits of
Cloaked Huntress for huge tempo swings or
Subject 9 for massive card draw, as well as being unable to include Neutral tech cards like
Spellbreaker or
Mossy Horror, To My Side! and Rhok'delar add a great amount of value. Because of its ability to function without minions, it was commonly used to abuse the
Barnes and Y'Shaarj combo before they rotated out of the Standard year.
