Sounds like your problem is you're playing too passive. You have to play very aggressively against hunter, otherwise you'll get buried under a never-ending tide of charge creatures and direct damage.
It's funny that they claimed to fix UTH twice now but somehow Hunter is still a combo deck. The deck has so many easy synergies. Charge minions = direct damage spells that don't hang around = no board = setup your Misdirection.

In that game i played Harvest Golem, Keeper then Sunfury Protector to end up with 2 taunts. That got me blown up with Vulture+UTH+Wolf. My druid deck is a Savjz build. I guess I have to go to an aggro deck to race?

Sounds like a nuts draw. There's no control deck that doesn't get blown out by a murlock nuts draw either.

Ancient watcher into sunfury protector, followed later by things like yeti into defender of argus will really shut down a hunter deck. Just big taunts in general are good, though ancient watcher is one of the better options since they can't use their owl as an out for it without major drawbacks.

Seriously though more people should give Cho a try in certain decks (e.g. ones with Sunfurys/taunts). He can really fuck with your opponent and give you a great advantage, either in tempo or card advantage. I almost always get a 2 for 1 with him. You get him out early vs. certain classes like the popular Mage right now and it's huge. You get him out later for situational advantages and it totally destroys their plans. And at a basic level I find him very similar to Pagle. Gives me 4 health at the absolute minimum and usually 1-2 cards, sometimes more.

Whatcha gun do?

At first I thought I drafted too much late game... I was wrong.

I don't think it's possible to draft too many Druids of the Claw.

Christ, epic losing streak this morning. Just lost to some faggot playing that queer as fuck vanish rogue deck that someone posted a video of the other day. Fucking stupid.

Really rustles my jimmies when little bitch ass whiners like Morrow cry their fucking eyes out about UTH when rogues are the king of non-interactive faggotry.

What? The hypocrisy here is astounding. My point was that the repetitive nature of it was boring. And I hadn't been active for over a week so I hadn't seen the change to these other things. So let me get this straight: it pisses you off when people complain about stuff that bothers them rather then complaining about stuff that has bothered you? Wow. brilliant point! Look I know losing can cause you to rage sometimes, but seriously. try to at least sound reasonable.

I'm sure that Rogue shit is extremely annoying and boring and less interactive than anything, calm the fuck down. Someone else complaining about an entirely different issue a week ago does not make your future complaint illegitimate. And by the way, go read my post. If anyone is "crying their fucking eyes out like a little bitch ass whiner" it's you. seriously you look like a fucking childish idiot right now. You don't need to lash out on others when you lose man, wow. This is some insane rage right here. And faggot x2 and queer? You okay brah? Did you get a boner looking at a man today or something?

Yeah, I clearly need to take a break, I'm so flustered that I'm engaging Morrowgirl as if it were a real person. Time for some casual mode priest!!!

Waaaaahhh. it really fucking annihilates my temper when another player makes a legitimate complaint that a thousand other people have also pointed out about a game mechanic that 75% of the playerbase was using for weeks on end when a new gimmick comes out that is still very rare but that I had to play against and lose to. Why the fuck don't these whiny little bitches complain about what I lose to? It just makes me sooooo mad!!! Why the fuck are people complaining about this other issue? Don't they know that I, that I of all people, that mother fucking I, lost to this other thing too? Why? Ohhh the humanity!!!

Engaging me? Nah bro, you're just randomly lashing out at me because you lost and because you're too much of a fucking pussy to do anything else but lash out at the easy target while using the words faggot and queer 3 times a sentence. Then, to make yourself feel better about an extremely embarrassing childish temper tantrum that shows you for an immature asshat, you try to insult and dehumanize someone else that, again, wasn't even involved in what made you rampage in the first place, all in order to draw attention away from how much of an asshat you just showed yourself as. Waaaah I'm angry and I just through a self involved temper tantrum, but Morrow is a freak and I'm not and faggot faggots faggots!!! Grow the fuck up you fucking closet case.

Why the hell do you object so strongly to my use of faggot and queer in the pejorative sense? You have no sexual orientation. I never called you anything worse than a bitch ass whiner.

Wahhhhh I'm angry I lost so I throw a temper tantrum, but then accuse others of being faggot ass bitch whiners, when my post was a thousand times more whiney than the person I'm accusing of being a faggot ass bitch ass whiner!! But hey, it's okay, because I'm not a fucking faggot like Morrow whom because is trans I am going to refer to as an it and derail this fucking thread. Because hey, I might be a childish little bitch throwing a temper tantrum, but at least I'm not a faggot "it." Fucking faggots. god damn faggots.

That is what you sound like. Grow the fuck up.

I'm not the one wasting my time trying to address the social injustice of the language someone used while obviously rageposting.

Stop wasting your time dumbass.

Hah, I think it's time to slow down how much you're playing HS for a couple days Gavin. I went crazy "looking for oddities" mode when the game pissed me off I needed a break from it - you seem to just be pure rage.

Take a couple days off, let three quests build up then give it a fresh go - the time off should help if I'm any example.

I actually only play like an hour or two a day, more if I get a good arena run going. I was pissed for maybe 10 minutes. I normally do my mini-rants in irc but it's been slow today and I wanted an audience.

Having absolutely no luck getting shaman or mage to work today, which I have a dominance quest for. Maybe lava burst sucks after all.

I know that the new Hunter deck is supposedly balanced but what beats it? I'm running into it all the time around rank 9. I can't find a control strategy that stops it. I've tried priest, druid and paladin. Last match I played 1-2 minions, got a 2 for 1 on Swipe twice, healed with Earthen Ring Farseer and Ancient of Lore andstillgot blown out.
I have been playing some paladin giants. It beats it at least half the time. I run 2 holy lights, 2 truesilvers, a guardian of kings and a lay on hands, so I can often get a free molten or two out and then heal up. If I don't draw moltens then I will probably draw consecrates. I also run a wild pyro and an avenging wrath. If I draw none of those things then I obviously lose.

You are playing really bad hunters then. Aggro hunters are meant to end the game ~turn 6, anything past 8 is generally a lost cause for hunter unless their opponent is very low and the hunter has a kill command. GoK at turn 7 is too late, probably not enough to heal out of range of lethal turn 8 if you're still alive. Lay on hands at turn 8 is a dead card against hunters. Even if your hunter opponent got a terrible draw so that you made it to turn 8 you never will be able to spend the whole turn just healing and drawing cards. Truesilver is great, but leaves you nothing on the board and you will at best take as good as you give because every minion you kill with it will have at least 2 power. Holy light would be good with a wild pyromancer against hunters.

Paladin giants is a late game deck, sure it can beat hunters with the perfect draw, but it is going to be way less consistent than say mid range druid/shaman/warrior.
