No minions? No problem!

Spell Hunter is a Hunter deck type, that was first used after release of Kobolds and Catacombs. This deck has no minions to activate Kobolds & CatacombsTo My Side! and Kobolds & CatacombsRhok'delar effects. It relies on minions summoned by LegacyAnimal Companion, Kobolds & CatacombsTo My Side! and Kobolds & CatacombsLesser Emerald Spellstone and created by Knights of the Frozen ThroneDeathstalker Rexxar's Knights of the Frozen ThroneBuild-A-Beast.

The deck shares similarities with Secret Hunter, where the main bulk of the early game is playing Secrets to power up Kobolds & CatacombsLesser Emerald Spellstone. Although it doesn't get the benefits of One Night in KarazhanCloaked Huntress for huge tempo swings or The Boomsday ProjectSubject 9 for massive card draw, as well as being unable to include Neutral tech cards like LegacySpellbreaker or The WitchwoodMossy 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 One Night in KarazhanBarnes and Y'Shaarj combo before they rotated out of the Standard year.
