Yes, Midrange Hunter loses its sharpest sword with the rotation of Deathstalker Rexxar. Yes, the rotation of Crackling Razormaw and Flanking Strike will also hurt a lot. But no, this will not stop Midrange Hunter from doing its thing: Dire Frenzying into Master Calling and by this rolling over the most – more balanced – midrangy and controlly archetypes. Also remember that Zul’Jin is one of only three remaining Hero Cards after the big rotation and a significant source of value (Unleash the beast has-as twinspell-great synergy with him by summoning two 5/5 rushs and getting a copy back to hand by playing Zul’Jin). 

The addition of Oondasta and the typical two Highmanes should guarantee a bit of late game pressure (remember DS Rexxar is hunting in wild now) before Zul’Jin arrives.

I am really not sure about the single copies of Baited Arrow and Marked Shot but it should be decent to have some more value for Zul’Jin and the 4 mana-slot seems terrible empty without Flanking Strike.

    You should cut Oondasta and Dire Wolf Alpha and add two Tracking.

      Tracking doesn’t work that great with Zul’Jin… the cards are chosen at random when he casts them. Could mill something you don’t want to.

    In some points I agree. Zul’Jin after Unleash the Beast is super insane but I think one copy is enough because it might be not affordable to play a 5/5 rush for six mana in three or four differnet turns before the friendly troll arrives. Oondasta could be out of place, but let’s first see how the meta develops: In a midrangy meta it is super crazy to have a 8/8 Rush that cheats out a dire frenzied Beast or a Highmane. I totally agree with the Dire Wolf, that one was a filler. Not sure what you mean with adding Baited Arrow and Marked Shot for more Zul’Jin synergie because they are already part of the deck and Baited Arrow is not really powerful in the most cases when played by Zul’Jin.

    I like your shell, But tbh I think the Oondasta is a bit out of place imo. I’m also not too sure on the Dire Wolfs, all your minions are beasts and the Timber Wolf will do better in achieving the same goal. I think ppl are sleeping on Unleash the beast, DragonCaller Alanna was insane but a bit overshadowed in that year and having them be rushing beasts is is ludicrous while also refilling your hand. Maybe add in marked shot or Baited arrow for more zuljin synergy.
