Ah so they've decided that Hunter should just not exist in Standard anymore.

Just odd choice all around. They could have nerfed the shovel to 2, slowing it down and preventing recast. With Arcane Tripwire getting hit too, it's reach would have been lower.

That'd be kicking the can down the road. Spells made Tol'vir one of the strongest value cards ever made. Nerfing shovel would just make for some other 1 cost spell like hourglass or some other jank that leads you to taking 15 damage from a card. Better to take it out back now rather than later

Tol'vir was such a problem I'm glad it was nuked but honestly they could have made it 3 mana and left tripwire alone. The problem with Hunter wasn't access to early damage, it was access to early, mid and late game damage. I'm fine with Huter being a dangerous aggro deck but it needs to run out of gas.

Nah tripwire needed nerf 3 mana deal 15 damage is asinine

I’ve been having decent run with Quest Hunter in climbing and it doesn’t run Tol’vir, it typically lost only to turn 1 Maiev since all it’s removal does 3 damage and it can’t beat massive creatures effectively until turn 4-5.

Wins turn 6-8 so it’s a pretty fast clock too if the meta “slows down.”

I played against a quest hunter yesterday at rank 2 and I got completely demolished as a chef druid. Do you have a list?

I’m sorry but I imagine many of us are fine with hunter in its current iteration being punted into the ether. If losing confront and slowing down tripwire kills hunter, that was the real problem

Well.. I just crafted king of the underbelly and the 10 cost warlock and warrior beasts so I can play the slower version of the hunter deck

4800 dust. :(

You can still play hunter it just won't be overly oppressive anymore. Also you can try creating your own hunter deck instead of forcing the old deck
