It’s always interesting to me to compare data-driven meta reports between sites like VS and OOC. Note that OutOf.Cards has partnered with HSReplay, so these aren’t just opinion pieces.

My lord… I am not a fan of that quest hunter list that they highlight.
Beast only seems to do much better against shaman and highlander hunter, which are both referenced as poor matchups for it.
Yeah, I tend to find some of their picks a bit odd, at least in reference to what I find when I’m looking at stats.
Smeet and I have very serious opinions about quest hunter lists.
Cast this trash out!

The Master’s Call lists failed to break even. They have been around since day 1.
It’s only after shifting to the No Hands builds, which were further developed by Firebat and other players, that it broke even into Tier 2.
And it was I who called out that refinement last week when they were saying they had little hope for the archetype using the HSREPLAY Master’s Call lists performance (the No Hands list didn’t exist in HSREPLAY last week).
The master’s call lists work just fine.
The last 2 months I’ve run a positive win rate with one. According to my “month in hearthstone” email, I even had a 75% win rate vs. Shamans with it.
Casually got into the R2-R1 range just doing dailies with it last month.
It certainly is capable of much better than sub 50% win rates.

Good on you for over performing on the HS community. Unfortunately for your assessment, you are the problem, because you are just a bad mofo with that deck compared with its performance in the average player’s hands.
BTW, my experience with the No Hands list against Quest Shaman is also decent. But I don’t have copies of Master’s Call to do a head to head comparison.
Don’t ever take the credit from yourself, it’s you who’s the mofo, not the deck list.
Welcome to the most aggro meta of all time
I’ve seen Quest Hunter more and more recently and more than not, I’ve been overrun at the end of the game.
Nice to see Quest Hunter being played.
For the last 5 days i see more and more hunter players queue with quest, i won’t call the deck is strong but it certainly punishes players for playing longer games
More like a minion based control gameplay that never did work before.
You know. Drop minion after minion and when your opponent loses the gas or tempo you just finish him out of nowhere(hero power buff).
I also use a slightly different version than the beast one found on HSR (which for a long time just looked like the typical deck recipe).
I more find it a little off when data sites call a deck bad when it can perform quite highly with proper piloting / some tweaks. Patron warrior never looked oppressive aceoss the board, but when ran well, it was nearly unstoppable at the time.
Oh well, just a limitation of the data, I suppose. If I weren’t consumed by wow-classic right now, I’d probably do a legend push with quest hunter to see how high I could get in there.
With the current meta, I suspect I could top my previous L330ish best with it.
I reject their reality!
My Quest Paladin will overrule!
