Looking for advice on hunter deck counters

As the title says, especially against Victor deck with loads of traps and cheap nukes that are comboed with hero ability and heart strike or whatever it's called (reduces ally HP to 1).
Both times I played against such decks I simply abandoned any hope of summoning allies since they were all killed by traps or combo on next enemy turn.
Somebody suggested using Widespread Decay

to mass destroy traps, but does it really remove traps? I'm kinda new to the game and I can't figure out what exactly that card does.
I'm using priest templar+ embers deck, if that matters. I know that prayer destroys traps, but even if I'll use 4 of them, hunter can potentially have what, 3 or 4 sets of different traps?

EDIT: Also looking for counter to elemental shard of power (or whatever it's called) + haste creatures deck, other than Braxnorian Soldier

. Don't want to make a thread for just haste counters.

My Deck:

*Hero*
1x Jericho Spellbane

*Allies*
4x Guardian of Unaxio

3x Justicar Alysia

*Abilities*
2x Retreat!

1x Forgiveness

3x Divine Connection

3x Lingering Essence

4x Embers of the Just

2x Ice Storm

3x Focused Prayer

1x Resurrection

2x Smite
