Afaict, dirty rat can be quite effective versus imbue hunter if you draw it in time. Anyone have stats on this?
From my experience if you read their hand correctly they should have minimal minions in hand with you play rat, or at the very least every minion that can be hit with dirty rat can at least disrupt their combo.
So far I’ve had good experience with dirty rat versus imbue hunter, the main problem is nearly every other card tutors their king plush, while dirty rat typically has to be hard run with zero tutor.

I have been playing imbue hunter almost exclusively.
I reached top 91 legend today and I can tell you that
dirty rat is very effective. even if you don’t get to use dirty rat
I have to play around to not get my plush dirty ratted so the whole combo gets delayed.
dirty ratting out other pieces also delays the combo for few turns which can be enough time to kill hunter or draw another dirty rat.
For those playing Rogue, just stick x2 Satyr in the deck
It’s more useful than just cheesing Hunter players by stealing their 0 mana 18/6 with charge. You can sometimes get their 0-mana spells from Shalagdrassil to use on their taunt and end, as well

king plush is just the best pull vs that deck but it has many other targets to delay the combo too and for many decks delaying it is all you need to do to win
about rat warriors can tutor it
The deck has evolved now. They are playing more minions outside the combo. You are maybe hitting something meaningful 25% of the time.
Still haven’t evolved that much, when I ran Plush Hunter to reach legend(trashed it after, felt unclean) i ran youthful brewmaster because I anticipated dirty rat, and more than a few times someone did pull Plush without having a means to kill it same turn
That is solid advice and I will try that. Thank you.
