I haven't lost to Embiggen Druid yet playing Quest Hunter.
I lost as Face Hunter once to Embiggen Druid, and that's when they got a +4 Zilliax on turn 7 when they were on 2 health. The increased stats don't matter a bit when everything gets more expensive.
I did not cut Explosive Trap though, but Tracking I find a hard card to use, and I never use it early, only in situation where I need a specific card so I can look for it. 2 clogs so I went with 1, feels good enough for me. Another card that feels a bit subpar to me is Animal Companion. I am really considering Wolfrider in this slot.
Here's my winrate. It's at 72%, but keep in mind that I used this to climb from rank 25 to 10, and there are some wackey decks in the lower tiers.
I am getting better at this deck though, not using every burn card when I can but saving it for 1 big burst, opponents had Zilliax on 5 way to often so it's better to play around it :p
After playing over a 100 games in this last week, I decided to cut Leeroy Jenkins (running Tracking for now). It's good burst damage later in the game but: a) turn 5+ is almost always a Taunt turn (Shield of Galakrond is most common) and b) I lost as many games with him being a dead early draw, as I won games with his 6 damage Charge.Here's my list for now:

Not running Doomsayer anymore, I like Knife Juggler the most as the "flex" spot of the deck. Has synergy with the sidequest, Unleash the Hounds and Snake Trap. Also I'm using the exact same deck in Wild and it works fine there as well!
I only started playing Hearthstone in November, but I've been watching it for most of 2019. I definitely enjoyed the Tournament broadcasts on Twitch; Tour Stops, Grandmasters etc, it tought me a lot as a noob, and when I got myself a new computer I downloaded this game immediately. First month I managed to get rank 15, and I'm hoping to reach rank 10 this month. I loved the year-around story about the League of E.V.I.L and the Heroes!
The one Hearthstone thing you are looking forward to most in 2020.
I personally would love to reach Rank 5 on ladder, and eventually Legend, but I don't know in how far that is possible. Mayble I'll compete in some online tournaments. Other than that I would love to see a rotation change, as I'm missing a lot of cards from the older playable expansions, making it harder to play some decks. New start, and I'll try to keep up with all the new cards. Hopefully we'll see a bunch of cool expansions, keeping up with the trend of a year long story.
So I'm a new player and I don't plan on getting this adventure any time soon (almost done buying Tombs of Terror and Dalaran Heist). Can I craft these cards without buying them?
Okay I added Knife Juggler back instead of the Doomsayer. Elven Archer helps me contest the early board early (killing lackey's and stuff) while still being able to SMOrc. I'll keep her for now.
Guys, maybe a dumb suggestion, but what about Doomsayer in Face Hunter? I've been trying it out in the 2 mana slot, over Spellzerker, Knife Juggler etc. Because some people mentioned that Face Hunter needs board control in the early turns in order to snowball to a win. Well, Doomsayer usually clears the board and gives me initiative. I once killed a board of Taunts with it so Leeroy could follow up with a Charge to the face, and I also won a game where it killed of my Leper Gnomes for the win.
Maybe I'm thinking too much about it xd

Thanks for the answers guys. I'm trying to get to rank 10 this month, and face Hunter, despite the hate it gets, feels solid enough for me to do that.
Does playing Aggro really mean a lack of skill? I've only been playing since november, but I bought 400 EUR worth of packs and can make every top tier deck. Zoo Warlock is another deck I enjoy, but I tried decks like Holy Wrath Paladin, Quest Priest or Highlander Mage and I just don't get the feel of those.
Is Wolfrider ever worth it over Animal Companion? Sure overall the later is better, but it's a 1 in 3 to get the one you want (on average). And SMOrc'ing for 3 seems more consistent, albeit sometimes weaker.
Anyone else not liking the frequent nerfs? As a new player it's hard to make decks, and I don't have enough dust to make multiple tier 1 decks. If they keep nerfing so often I am afraid to craft cards because the deck might become useless and I can't craft anything else then =/
- Start as Elise with the Starseeker Hero Power (cast 2 spells to add a Moonfire to your hand). Play until you get Jr. Navigator, keeping the board as clear as possible, but don't damage Tekahn (if he stays in his "first form" you don't have to worry about C'Thun and such).
Do you have a tip for Heroic Kirin Tor Citadel as well? I've been playing that one all week and it seems impossible. Before the nerfs there was OTK potential with Sound the Bells! but not anymore
I played both games, and Age of Empires 2 DE might be a good choice for people who were let down by WC3:Reforged.
I got 2 special quests today, one new one, and one by re-rolling another "regular" quest. So strange it's this inconsistent ...
Okay, so I almost made it to rank 5. Finished my exams so will be climbing hard the next couple of days. Made some changes though:
I took out the [Hearthstone Card (Unleash the Hound) Not Found]s and Timber Wolfs and put in another Freezing Trap and double Ironbeak Owl, and this seems to be working vs Druid. I'm also considering Blazing Battlemages to accompany Skydiving Instructor perhaps?
I lost as Face Hunter once to Embiggen Druid, and that's when they got a +4 Zilliax on turn 7 when they were on 2 health. The increased stats don't matter a bit when everything gets more expensive.
Could this card work in Face-Hunter? The 1-drops being Leper Gnome, Dwarven Sharpshooter and maybe Blazing Battlemage?

Any other cards worth crafting? Alleycat, Brave Archer, Fiery Bat etc?
Another question. If I were to take Aggro Hunter to Wild, what cards should I add that isn't Baku the Mooneater? Is Bad Luck Albatross a good inclusion since Reno Jackson is in that mode?
So I'm a new player and I don't plan on getting this adventure any time soon (almost done buying Tombs of Terror and Dalaran Heist). Can I craft these cards without buying them?
These look very strong !

I can't seem to find decent stats on HSReplay, so I'll ask here.
Aggro Hunter is a decent budget deck, but I have some questions about some inclusions.
Many versions run Spellzerker, and maybe I'm using this card wrong, but it seems pretty pointless to me. Wouldn't Knife Juggler be a better card? It has synergy with the Leper Gnomes from the sidequest, Unleash the Hounds and Snake Trap.
Is Wolfrider ever worth it over Animal Companion? Sure overall the later is better, but it's a 1 in 3 to get the one you want (on average). And SMOrc'ing for 3 seems more consistent, albeit sometimes weaker.
Timber Wolf seems a bit weak to run 2 copies off. It's fine with Unleash and to activate Kill Command but pretty weak without that. Could Secretkeeper be a viable option, and running 6 secrets (2x Explosive Trap, 2x Snake Trap, 2x Freezing Trap)? This could even make Sunreaver Spy viable for the 2-mana spot.
Why do some people run Bomb Toss? You can't activate the bombs, unless the opponents uses and Aoe.

I only had 7 DoD packs, and Kronx was in it! Good card, would suggest

Not the answer I was expecting, but thanks for the kind words :)
And thanks for the responses everyone else, I'll try to look into them!
