I've finally found a place where hooktusk feels ok.

Wild Reno Rogue.

I mean, probably not against the current meta boogeymen, but I've beaten two different combo-ish warlocks with it (one was mech'a'thun warlock, one was curse of agony). Like these are real decks (well...mech'a'thun warlock much more than curse of agony warlock), and I can say with relative confidence that stealing 5 cards out of their deck probably won me the game.

The added defence and flexibility of cards like Reno and Zephrys frees up hooktusk to go for their cards. (And combine that with the fact that decks like Mech'a'thun warlock aren't threatening you with large boards).

Funnily enough I still ended up using one mind control in these matchups--stole 5 cards out of the opponent's deck, then shadowstepped hooktusk. One of the cards I stole was dirty rat, which popped out Mech'a'thun, who hooktusk then mind controlled.
