Beast Mode Tempo (Kraken)

Goal of this deck is to gain tempo with your suite of beast Secrets… Bear Trap, Cat Trick , and Snake Trap.  Most of these secrets activate once a player has depleted their resources, and often the turn ends and you end up with untouched, hasty beasts (which is the source of the “Tempo”). If you follow up any of your trapped beasts with a sticky beast, your board presence occupies your opponent and they have to spend all their resources (both aggro and control) in order to gain the tempo back.

Your playable beasts are all stickyKindly Grandmother Infested Wolf Savannah Highmane and synergize late game with N'Zoth, The Corruptor to get the edge on control games. 

Hunter staples because of value: Eaglehorn Bow (removal and secret synergy) Animal Companion (great 3 drop beast that doesn’t ruin barnes) Quick Shot (valueeeee)Kill Command Call of the Wild (burst and removal)

A few tech card explanations:

Barnes : the only “miss” is houndmaster, and many of the hits give you tempo as deathrattles.

Scavenging Hyena : very highly debating this one, as I’ve found through testing that he can’t survive to go off, but if he does, it’s gg for you. Might replace with a toad/kings elekk or fiery bat.

Lock and Load : singleton copy for now that plays with Cloaked Huntress  and secrets on turn 5, so that you don’t deplete your hand. Might remove for more consistency.

Starving Buzzard : I like this card! The nerf has made it unplayable for the most part, but I’m finding that playing this with a snake trap ready is a solid play. Also, the deck has 6 beasts that deathrattle out more beasts, so you can often guarantee yourself at least 2 draws from a buzzard. He also eats removal instantly, so if following with highmane, it’s a solid turn 5 drop after trading a wolf.

Houndmaster : great synergy to play on a beast that was summoned due to traps or even a leftover beast from a deathrattle. 

With this deck, your board should never really disappear (especially if you play properly around mass removal and AoE once you know you are playing against control). I often get to turn 8 against aggro no prob for Call of the Wild which often pushes things over the edge. Aggro often has to switch gears from face to board trades, but most players don’t realize how much consistency in board presence to expect from this deck, and then it’s gg. The only danger from aggro is heavy face, in which you have to make smart trades with your life total and your bow.

Suggestions and comments would be great!
