There are a few things that I'd like to point out, regarding this fight: First off all, beating the lich king with the hunter comes close to beating him with warrior, at least in my opinion. Secondly, there are two aspects shown in this video that many people do not seem to grasp: Knowing when to restart, and knowing how to trade efficiently. If you do not trade efficiently, you're going to lose way more often than someone who does, and if you do not restart when necessary, you're going to end up wasting a whole bunch of time. Regarding the traps: The only two traps that'll matter early game (because all you want to do is setup / protect your fledgling/s) are snipe and freeze trap. If the LK coins on turn 1, he's going to summon a (1) mana minion with 2/3, in other words, no immediate threat to your fledgling, which'll change once he summons a ghoul 2/2 using his hero power in turn 2. Freezing trap will prevent him from being able to oneshot your fledgling, except for the nasty possibility of him having obliterate. If the LK does NOT coin on turn 1, snipe is the best option, as he'll 100% (in my experience) coin out a (3) 3/4 icefiend. Of course, you can also use the freezing trap here, whereas you cannot in the scenario described above (as snipe doesn't trigger on hero power summons), which is why freezing trap is generally considered to be a lot better. Explosive trap is overall just bad, and if you have something that's worth replacing ET with, go ahead! Regarding the "Mulligan" process, keep in mind that this is my way of doing it, if yours is different that's perfectly fine: Shuffle EVERYTHING except for freezing trap & fledgling. Your start hand doesn't matter as much as long as you get freezing trap or snipe on turn 2 (prioritize as described above), to setup for the fledgling, and the fledgling at turn 3. The negative comments & bad luck may make it seem as if the LK always has either a glacial splinter or an obliterate ready to go, but the reality is that that isn't the case. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
if youre playing in 2019 throw in 2 springpaws and 2 scavenging hyenas it makes it much easier because you can get a huge hyena as another win condition
What's up 2020 gang, we out here :D So I read comments and here are the updates: 1. cut Explosive Trap because its bad and add Scavenging Hyena and Springpaws for an additional win condition where you make the Hyena big 2. We just got a spell named Fresh Scent from the new adventure which can speed up the process for you to win before Turn 7 even more likely if you roll Windfury on ya boi Fledgling. Good Luck!
I tried mage about 100 times and advise is to get kabal lackey and mana bind on turn 1, on the way get platebreaker and try not to die until turn 7, then platebreaker, and use his set health to 1 spell and ping. Thats What I did
I tried this deck nearly 30X just to see and then said F-it! And went with My Barnes, copy, DOUBLE Ragnaros, DOUBLE Drakkari triggering End of Turn 4X with 2 Rags on board putting out 32 Damage per turn and THAT deck took me 30 games of RNG to win!!! LOL Man, Hunter is a PAIN THE THE ARSE! The only way to keep your sanity for a win is to continue to mulligan until you have at least 2 of 3 key cards IN HAND. I also used Doomsayer. I know this is a basic/budget deck and CAN win. BUT, if you have a few cards outside of this deck you may get some ideas from what I and others have used to finally win too. GL! Tks again TJ! You're Jade Druid deck worked like a charm for me! ;)
I've literally tried 45 times now but all games end the same way. Freeze my fledgling (that is if I draw it) until turn 7. And holy shit did u get lucky to win after turn 7..
I found relying on just the fledging is bad - scavenging hyena tends to win it for me more often than not; so it's preferable to play both (with one or the other effectively being a back up) - with the scavenging hyena, it's so easy to beef up with unleash the hounds. but he almost always obliterates something which is why fledgling is great as it can adapt into the cannot be targeted buff.
I guess that makes me super lucky, too. I got him down to TWO health, before turn 7, somehow managed to luck out where he had me down to 2 hp with one trapped soul left at 2 health... he attacked with it first into an exploding trap killing it and destroying frostmourne, he then used his hero power for 1 damage and summoned out some stuff but it didn't matter as after drawing I used my hero power and finished him off. Luckiest game of my life but also was my like who knows what attempt I didn't keep track but it was a lot. 7/9 heroes beat for me now and all using Tommy J's methods. Need to beat Shaman and Paladin but the problem with Shaman is the closest I got was when I evolved into an animated armor (you can only take 1 damage per turn) and stupidly he kept attacking me instead of it with his monsters. Then after the souls were gone he was using his hero power but it was only doing 1. Sadly I never drew into a bloodlust to finish it soon enough and he got too much board presence a few turns later.
That's the problem I've been having, everytime I finally manage to get a fledgling, he always plays Glacial Shard. About 60 tries now, and I've had enough.
If anyone's needing a solution for other decks outside of what Tommy provided, the Vicious Fledgling cheese can work with pretty much any class, but it's generally a matter of getting pretty lucky. Also for Hunter specifically, Scavenging Hyena is a nice alternative or 'extra chance' on Vicious Fledgling. You need a decent number of efficient Beasts like Alley Cat for it to work though, so be careful.
I found a pair of Smuggler's Crates to be really good in this deck. They both protect your Vicious Fledgling when it first comes out and accelerate your win condition.
Thanks for the video. I was on the right way, but a bit too blind to see a tiny thing. You gave me an idea, thanks. The houndmaster and the windfury-guy-dinosaur-thing. Of course^^ Plus some other things, like spells, what perfect match up with that what the lich king is playing. The hunter was my lust hero I needed... or well, at THIS poin he is^^ - the rest ive done on my own, without any help out of the internet. But its no shame at all to 'ask' the community. That's what the community is there for, isnt it? :D For everyone who reads my comment: Try the 'Doomsayer' and play it on turn 7. Its an easy way (especially for Paladin) to nail his 7th turn. I won each of my games with this and reno jackson. It was luck in the end... as allways.
I might as well go win the lottery then buy 1000 packs to P2W this, because that requires the same amount of RNG to win with this deck. 1) Must have Fledgling. 2) Must have cheaper cost spells/traps to protect it (then he obliterates it on his turn 3 anyway). 3) Must roll WF, cant target, and then damge. 4) LK must never freeze the fledgling. 5) Still need amazing RNG like multishot hitting the taunts only, LK playing the worst cards possible every turn, etc. This deck has zero leeway. One single thing not going your way is GG. And you didnt actually show a win before turn 7, just some more crazy RNG to get to turn 8.
I've played this deck for 6 different accounts (mine: eu, na and asia and another account - all three) and this deck is really the most consistent for hunter - Only I'd recommend putting in two scavenging hyena's too.
idk if they changed him or what, but he always has obliterate in his starting hand and if he is able to trade 1 for 1 or kill your minion with effects he will.
6 hours of trying later, not getting windfury at all sometimes, really unforseen stuff and when I was about to kill him he top decked black knight... ARE U F KIDDING ME?
@Tommy J the deck you show us in the beginning is not the correct one... How are you able to get only 4 damage on the opening spell from the lichking? it's 2 damage each minion in your deck while you have 2x houndmaster and 2x vicious fledgling ( = 8 damage as show in first fights ( but not in actual fight you win with ) )
I beat him with my mecha thun deck with 7 other classes, got stuck on hunter and mage now trying to do it the whole day with this and the hyena deck but no luck for me, i wush u the best of luck tho ^^
3 days grinding this deck it dosent work !! u got extremly lucky if u did it...played 500 times with vicious at turn 3 and never get it. Or u dont get windfury at turn 4 or he just die, and your only preVicious protection is a freezTrap or snipe.
10/10 times, he coins out the 4/3 on turn two, and then plays the little freezing bastard on turn three, and then kills the my fledgling with the 4/3. I unless I have snipe in my opening hand, I'm dead in the water. Even then, my fledgling is frozen on turn four, and if by some miracle it isn't, he pulls obliterate out of his ass, it else just kills the fledgling with the freezing bastard and a 2/2 hero power ghoul. This fight is brutal.
While this trick works and ultimately helped me beat it, it is insane RNG and can take dozens of tries. Very frustrating especially for me personally since Hunter is my least favorite class in the game.
I been doing it all day and i havent get that lucky yet , alwasys something happend there must be like 100 coincidences on your favor to reach that point where you actually can win. :/ Blizzard really place it freaking hard for this
2x Alley Cat, Fiery Bat, Hunters Mark, On the Hunt, Raptor Hatchling, Smugglers Crate, Timber Wolf, Tracking, Crackling Razormaw, Scavenging Hyena, Animal Companion, Deadly Shot, Kill Command, Unleash the Hounds, Houndmaster I had to craft alot of them, i dont play hunter at all. But only Raptor Hatchling is rare, so they are very cheap to craft. Good Luck
I got him to 4hp @ turn 6.... 4 minions on board including a fledgeling with cant be targeted and like 11 damage. Guess what? HE PLAYS BLIZZARD TURN 6. IM SO FUCKING MAD %&%¤&/%¤&/#%%#&¤. I couldnt even draw a fucking kill command nor have one in my hand. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! Had no way to get rid of the trapped souls.
I DID IT! LOL! He actually didnt freeze my units a single time and I got cant be targeted to my Hyena from Razormaw... Also two alley cats and a houndmaster...
Add 2 hyenas and alley cat... MUCH better. I got it to 20hp turn 7. Had a 20-1 hyena on board and lethal if hyena survives (empty board). Guess what? BLIZZARD! ¤/¤&%#&%&/(&/(
This is pure fucking luck I tryed over 100 times (yes I counted). I mostly have the perfect hand but magically the lich King has a hard counter. Turn 2 freezing trap turn 3 vicious and bounce the 3/4 Lich's turn 3 OBLITERATE. And other times I have an amazing hand and the game decides fuck him put the bird at the bottom. This guide is trash and you MUST have the perfect game to actually win. Bird frozen done. Bird killed done. Missed your multi shot done. Don't have perfect hand done. Lich gets to turn 7 done. Get the wrong adapt done. Lich plays more than 4 or 5 minions done.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
you are the luckiest mother flipper in hearthstone... he uses a million things on me that i dont see in your videos at all.
Shane Gordon it's not like he records all of his attemts. at the end of the day, he's a professional and still restarts shit ton of times
This Strategy flat out does not work.
That fledling should have been the new lich king. He did all the thing not Rexxar
if youre playing in 2019 throw in 2 springpaws and 2 scavenging hyenas it makes it much easier because you can get a huge hyena as another win condition
What's up 2020 gang, we out here :D
So I read comments and here are the updates:

Good Luck!
Do u have any advice for mage ?
@@MrC0rbeau I took the L on mage, spent some Dust and hate to admit it
I tried mage about 100 times and advise is to get kabal lackey and mana bind on turn 1, on the way get platebreaker and try not to die until turn 7, then platebreaker, and use his set health to 1 spell and ping. Thats What I did

How do you win when he always has glacial shard/blizzard for the fledgling :thinking:
That's the problem I've been having, everytime I finally manage to get a fledgling, he always plays Glacial Shard. About 60 tries now, and I've had enough.
Yeah im also done with this p2w "event" by bli$$ard.
Kan Kanenas the event really isn't pay to win, I haven't bought more than 10 dollars of cards in the past and beat 6 of the 9 so far
*Pay-to-get-cosmetic. Unless you just want to beat the LK for the pack, in which case just play priest.
i managed to put him on 9 health and then sudenly.. A WILD GLACIAL SHARD APEARS
If anyone's needing a solution for other decks outside of what Tommy provided, the Vicious Fledgling cheese can work with pretty much any class, but it's generally a matter of getting pretty lucky.

I find the murloc smorc much easier. Obviously that doesn't work for hunter though.
I found a pair of Smuggler's Crates to be really good in this deck. They both protect your Vicious Fledgling when it first comes out and accelerate your win condition.
Very Hard Deck, try 4 hour... dont win :(
Thanks for your videos I wouldn't have stood a chance at any of the bosses without them. The decks do require some rng but patience pays off
Thanks man! I've only added an eaglehorn bow and bearshark. Beat the lich king in second attempt. Same thing with your priest deck.
Thanks for the video. I was on the right way, but a bit too blind to see a tiny thing. You gave me an idea, thanks. The houndmaster and the windfury-guy-dinosaur-thing. Of course^^
Plus some other things, like spells, what perfect match up with that what the lich king is playing.

I won each of my games with this and reno jackson. It was luck in the end... as allways.
Been trying this for almost 2 hours but it's not working :(
All right... I think I will create those Fledglings for this one :) Thanks mate!
I might as well go win the lottery then buy 1000 packs to P2W this, because that requires the same amount of RNG to win with this deck.
1) Must have Fledgling.

I thought I was doing well and he fucking black knighted my fledgling guess I can't houndmaster it ever... fkin christ
Hey all, if you're only interested in watching the kill attempt, here's a timestamped link to it: ua-cam.com/video/QVaAD3P3Sk8/v-deo.html
A simple 5:43 would have sufficed :P
100 games later and I still haven't seen my fledgling adapt
idk if they changed him or what, but he always has obliterate in his starting hand and if he is able to trade 1 for 1 or kill your minion with effects he will.
10 games and I've yet to draw a fledgling by turn 3. FML
After countless restarts, finally got one and wasn't even able to break his armor by turn 7
Been trying to do the same thing with the exact same deck for 2 days (10-12 hrs), didn't work, didn't get lucky.
I tried this deck but i always have problem after he use frostmourne, i cant get myself to finish that phase in 1 turn
I cant buy the rare card. I cant find it☹
Would tracking be good to get a bigger chance at getting the fledgling ?
Use a scavenging hyena deck. I got it with my third try after spending 5 hours with fledgling.
Can i change grievous bite and on the hunt with something
Been trying for 3 hours now,he either freezes my fledglings or uses a taunt...
How do you get the outline of your deck in card build
pretty hard fight, Freezing Trap and Snipe were critical, I added Scavenging Hyena's and gambling on Doomsayer to get through round 7 really paid off
You know the Lich King has lethal when he ignores your minions and goes face with Jason Bourne aka Frostmourne.
Thanks the Deck worked and I did 10 tries to do
So nice guide
6 hours of trying later, not getting windfury at all sometimes, really unforseen stuff and when I was about to kill him he top decked black knight... ARE U F KIDDING ME?
Just did it thank you so much dude
@Tommy J the deck you show us in the beginning is not the correct one... How are you able to get only 4 damage on the opening spell from the lichking? it's 2 damage each minion in your deck while you have 2x houndmaster and 2x vicious fledgling ( = 8 damage as show in first fights ( but not in actual fight you win with ) )
Cards in hand are not in the deck. So he had 2 minions in hand and therefore only had 2 minions in his deck. 4 damage
2022 and almost all of those cards free/uncraftable
Próbowałem dziś i dalej działa za 13 próbą udało się go pokonać!!!
Impossible to win, he always obliterates or freezes my fledgling.
i think is better to have scaveging hyena and cracking razormaw for it
you only settle this within 2 round ? i tried over 10 times .All ended up shit . LOL
First try on deck and got LK to 8 hp missed lehtal after 3 hours not even close to doing it
Because of you i finally beated him with priest!😍😍😍😘
same here. my only win so far. his priest deck worked like a charm only under 10 tries for me personally haha
Quest adventurer for Priest is very ez for me
Okay you got incredebly lucky with this maexxna, thats for sure... Blizzard would have absolutely fvcked u over... ^^ Hope i get the same Luck 🤔
Got him down to 10 hp on the first try... Seems pretty good!
I beat him with my mecha thun deck with 7 other classes, got stuck on hunter and mage now trying to do it the whole day with this and the hyena deck but no luck for me, i wush u the best of luck tho ^^
3 days grinding this deck it dosent work !! u got extremly lucky if u did it...played 500 times with vicious at turn 3 and never get it. Or u dont get windfury at turn 4 or he just die, and your only preVicious protection is a freezTrap or snipe.
Easiest one is with hayenas or however you spell it
The strat works comboed with a hyena strat
Insanely hard to pull off. Your draw can be perfect but all it takes is for him to Freeze it or use Obliterate.
10/10 times, he coins out the 4/3 on turn two, and then plays the little freezing bastard on turn three, and then kills the my fledgling with the 4/3. I unless I have snipe in my opening hand, I'm dead in the water. Even then, my fledgling is frozen on turn four, and if by some miracle it isn't, he pulls obliterate out of his ass, it else just kills the fledgling with the freezing bastard and a 2/2 hero power ghoul.
This fight is brutal.
Lol it's not freezing bastard it's coldwraight... Lmao 😂
Love the video
it took me over 20 hours to win with this deck
this is like rolling the dice until you get the right combination, there really are better ways to do it ^^
ehhhhhhhhh.... i have gone like 20 tries without getting windfury on the adapt
drop tracking for scavenging hyena
ty tommy ur the best
Wow I like your voice , Good video !
Here I am replaying shit for over 50+ times, and this guy always gets shit done in like 3-4 tries.
While this trick works and ultimately helped me beat it, it is insane RNG and can take dozens of tries.
Very frustrating especially for me personally since Hunter is my least favorite class in the game.
My brother killed the Lich king with a Hyena with super buffed attack.
1000 thanks from first fight win :) your the best
I been doing it all day and i havent get that lucky yet , alwasys something happend there must be like 100 coincidences on your favor to reach that point where you actually can win. :/ Blizzard really place it freaking hard for this
he is so hard to defeat it's not a joke
You are so lucky I played 2-3hours with warlock vs lich king and I not beated he
Got scared read these comments, before I tried the deck for the first time. Doesn't matter. FIRST TRY BABYYYYYYYYYY
Joshua D. You are so lucky
so lucky it's triggering
hyena works so much better
whats the deck with hyena?
2x Alley Cat, Fiery Bat, Hunters Mark, On the Hunt, Raptor Hatchling, Smugglers Crate, Timber Wolf, Tracking, Crackling Razormaw, Scavenging Hyena, Animal Companion, Deadly Shot, Kill Command, Unleash the Hounds, Houndmaster
I had to craft alot of them, i dont play hunter at all. But only Raptor Hatchling is rare, so they are very cheap to craft.
Good Luck
Im having trouble with paladin and shaman, what do you suggest?
MURLOCS!!!
rapschit can you spare me some dust?
This is like 1/200 - go for the Hunter Murloc, took me just 3 attempts.
Anyone else notice how he mispronounces skeletal?
i love u thx so much
Imposible...
Hyena works very well against HIM thats how i won
Don't try this. It's completely based on luck and will take hours.
i love you
I got him to 4hp @ turn 6.... 4 minions on board including a fledgeling with cant be targeted and like 11 damage. Guess what? HE PLAYS BLIZZARD TURN 6. IM SO FUCKING MAD %&%¤&/%¤&/#%%#&¤. I couldnt even draw a fucking kill command nor have one in my hand. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! Had no way to get rid of the trapped souls.
I DID IT! LOL! He actually didnt freeze my units a single time and I got cant be targeted to my Hyena from Razormaw... Also two alley cats and a houndmaster...
you have insane luck.
Add 2 hyenas and alley cat... MUCH better. I got it to 20hp turn 7. Had a 20-1 hyena on board and lethal if hyena survives (empty board). Guess what? BLIZZARD! ¤/¤&%#&%&/(&/(
Exodia... Obliterrate!!
First try ty
50+ tries and no luck :)
I hate the lich king so much
son of a bitch, this deck is just waste of time.
This is pure fucking luck I tryed over 100 times (yes I counted). I mostly have the perfect hand but magically the lich King has a hard counter. Turn 2 freezing trap turn 3 vicious and bounce the 3/4 Lich's turn 3 OBLITERATE. And other times I have an amazing hand and the game decides fuck him put the bird at the bottom. This guide is trash and you MUST have the perfect game to actually win. Bird frozen done. Bird killed done. Missed your multi shot done. Don't have perfect hand done. Lich gets to turn 7 done. Get the wrong adapt done. Lich plays more than 4 or 5 minions done.
Bullshit deck
