What hero are you using? For hunters I see Ter as being the only obstacle. Assuming Jericho doesn't blow up my items, I would care less about Rapid Fire and arrows getting destroyed.

This may sound stupid, but...
1. My most used hero - Gravebone. For ranking up.
2. My sub heroes for when I want a different type of play or what mood I feel in - Zaladar and Majiya.
3. When I'm playing for fun, and not to mention my favourite hero of all time - Darkclaw. XD
I've been using Majiya. The thing that makes Jericho so tough IMO is that he has the ability to destroy weapons, armor(with destroy arms) and effects.(with shadow ability) Those are three things alot of decks use to win, including hunters. And throw in that damn Wizents Staff! I just feel he matches up really well against most Heros.
And allies with Tidal Wave.
This is exactly how I play him. Deck full of answers, Wizent's Staff to draw more answers than you're drawing threats. It's very Weissman school of Magic (though it has the option to go aggro if I'm the beatdown).
I'll play the one for one trade game (my Destroy Arms for your Soul Seeker), keeping my opponent's card draw off the table while taking advantage of mine. Eventually I get to the state where my opponent's hand and board are empty and they are drawing one card a turn while my hand is holding several answers and I'm drawing two cards a turn.
If I haven't taken too much damage at that point, I'll eventually win.
Where is my Banebow? He is stronger than you know too. :p
