 Spell Hunter is a wild-exclusive archetype. For more information, see Game format. |
Spell Hunter is a Hunter deck type, that was first used after release of Kobolds and Catacombs. This deck has no minions to activate 
To My Side! and Rhok'delar effects. It relies on minions summoned by 
Animal Companion, To My Side! and Lesser Emerald Spellstone and created by 
Deathstalker Rexxar's Build-A-Beast.
The deck shares similarities with Secret Hunter, where the main bulk of the early game is playing Secrets to power up Lesser Emerald Spellstone. Although it doesn't get the benefits of 
Cloaked Huntress for huge tempo swings or 
Subject 9 for massive card draw, as well as being unable to include Neutral tech cards like Spellbreaker or 
Mossy Horror, To My Side! and Rhok'delar add a great amount of value. Because of its ability to function without minions, it was commonly used to abuse the Barnes and Y'Shaarj combo before they rotated out of the Standard year.
