New Demon Hunter Minion - Bladed Lady

6 attack is extremely easy for DH to achieve, so yeah definitely good.

6 attack seems easy enough to achieve, i suspect this card to see play in a lot of DH decks.

Another strong card for DH. Gaining 6 attack is incredibly easy for DHs; just play three Twin Slice on turn 4 and you can already play Bladed Lady. Actually, this will be a great tempo play at any point in the game, where you gain 6 attack for your hero then drop a 6/6 body WITH rush. Pretty good. 

I thought it said “cost 1 less” if at 6 attack and was like “oh, okay.” Then I read a little closer and it said “COSTS 1.” LIKE WHY. WHATS THE POINT. DH ALREADY HAS PRETTY GOOD BOARD CONTROL, IT DIDN’T NEED THIS.

6 or more attack is really nothing honestly, You can genuinely get this simply by having a weapon up and having 1 copy of Twin Slice. It used to be that you'd try to bait out that Blade Dance with just 1 or 2 big minions. Now with this card on those baits have to have more than 6 hp.

So that's it then. Neither taunts, big minions, a group of medium minions, or a swarm of small minions will ever stop Illidan from smorcing your face.

Why is this not a demon? She's clearly the same race as two demons from Ashes of Outland.

She is a demon, it was mistake by admins here..

This card does everything that Soul Fragment DH wants to do and adds on to what the archetype lacks. As a burst archetype, Soul DH wants to send their attack buffs to the face, which Blade Flurry helps in accomplishing since it's so cheap. Bladed Lady shores up a class weakness for DH, as it is supposed to lack efficient single target removal, by trading into a mid-sized threat for consistently cheap at 1 mana. Discounting this is easy with cards that provide high attack output like Soulshard Lapidary, Marrowslicer, and Twin Slice. I don't see why any Soul DH wouldn't want to run this.

Autoinclude on every DH deck. 

EXTREMELY easy to get out. Fits perfectly in SOUL Demonhunter, and is honestly also amazing in aggro decks. And if you cast Inner Demon it's free. DH Lacks single target removal, and Bladed Lady can help patch up that weakness. (The best single target removal before, was their hero.)

In wild: I don't know much play this will see. It's EVEN costed, so it can't be runned in ODD DH... But it will  probably see play in some kind of aggro DH deck.

It can never be free. It will always cost 1 mana, if you have 6 or more attack.

This can't be run in odd DH, so this would have to take its changes at being run elsewhere, but there aren't that many other even cards that demon hunters really need, and the power of the upgraded hero power is enough that I think you aren't willing to give it up just to get a card that works best with upgraded hero power + twin slice.

I read it first as "it cost 1 less if your attack is 6 or more" and was like what a weird trash card, but then I was like "Oh...".

anyone who played as/against soul dh can tell you, getting to 6 attack is very EASY and you have a lot of card draw as well.. and you get a 6/6 rush for 1? what?

this card is insanely strong..

With Marrowslicer or Twin Slice it shouldn't be hard to get the discount. The only issue is that if you don't get the discount, this isn't worth playing. I guess whether or not the card is good all depends on how easy it is to get the discount.

This card seems insane.  Probably not as busted as I was thinking when I first saw it, but super good.  For 6 attack you need a weapon + twin slice or lapidary, at least with the cards we have right now.  So there is some set up involved for cheating this out.  Lapidary + hero power + this is seven mana.  Weapon plus twin slices is 6/7 mana, so its not like you're just jamming it down out of nowhere cheaply.  The strength of this weapon will be on your turns where you already have the weapon loaded up though.  You can pump up your weapon, blade dance, and play this to kill a fourth thing all in the same turn for not that much mana.  Thats a powerful swing.  

Even if you have to play 6 mana 6/6 in some gamestates that isn't terrible.  

This is going to see some play in Soul DH and any other DH that is making big weapon swings.  

This is a good card. I am super happy for Demon Hunter, they really had nothing to work with until now /s.

So, on turn 3 you Aldrachi Warblades, the on turn 4 you Twin Slice and Second Slice and still have enough mana to summon 12/12 worth of rushing stats. On turn 4! DH is already pretty strong, they don't need this level of highroll, jeez.

Quote From Demonxz95

I'm not going to say that it's quite as broken as most people are saying it is, but there are indeed a number of ways to make it as such.

If a card can be made broken with simple combos, that card is usually considered broken, period.

Indeed, it is pretty scary to think that even with a taunt or two you won't save your face against Illidan ...

I'm actually hesitant on this card. Yes, it's strong, 6/6 with Rush isn't something to sneeze at, but even with everyone's best-case scenarios, this card is only coming out turns 4/3 with Coin or later. Definitely sees play in Soul Demon Hunter, possibly sees play in Aggro?

4/5

It's passable for 6 mana if you really need to.. anyway DH has enough draw and it will be played in a deck where you can get 6 attack easily.

6/6 rush on turn 3/4is not that great card?

This will prob be included in the current Soul DH, should be "fun"!

When getting it down that early demands that you have both copies of Twin Slice in hand, yeah on paper that seems good, like an early Edwin. But then there's also a good chance you're giving up a Blade Dance turn down the line.

Very strong and will be an auto include in almost every DH Deck.

it good but its not guaranteed and doesnt mean wont be better/More consistent cards to put in deck instead

How hard is it to get 6 attack in DH?  Good condition for this card with pretty solid stat structure as well

yay another good card for dh

WELP. With more weapons and attack boosts revealed, it's not hard to build a deck that can play this discounted consistently. Score revised to 5/5

Even if it doesn't end up being that strong, it's not a fun card to play against.  If your opponent already has 6 attack, you're going to be taking a lot of face damage, but also having a large minion that can instantly trade against one of yours feels really bad to play against.  I mean it's not even bad to play at 6 mana because it can instantly trade. 

you only need 1 or two cards to get to 6 attack in demon hunter so I expect a ton of this for a while

OP, just OP... nerf please!

6 attack is nothing for DH's to get to and this is insane value for such an easy condition. 2-of in every DH deck.

you still need 6 attack so it's not that common but pretty good curve when you manage to get it off

This is so easy to pull off and a 1 mana 6/6 rush is great.

I can't really add much more to what people have already said - Demon Hunter doesn't struggle to reach 6 attack, and a 6/6 Rush for 6 is already pretty decent. Making it cost 1 is just insane.

Super strong card since it's so easy to reach those attack values as a Demon Hunter

This will be a pretty good finisher enabling card. It should give you the ability to build up a big weapon swing and have this to clear out a potential taunt.

There are so many ways for Demon Hunter to get to 6 Attack, so adding a cheap 1-Cost Rush on top of that sort of swing is just icing on the cake. With all the card draw available to Demon Hunter, they should be able to cheap this out often.

I think there's a bit of inconsistency with this card's effect. I managed to discount the cost of Bladed Lady with Skull of Gul'dan, then I pumped up my attack to 6 to activate its effect. Since its card text reads "Costs (1) if your hero has 6 or more attack," I fully expected the Lady to be 1 mana, but it became 0, which I think isn't consistent?

The reason I was thinking that was because of Eye Beam: if you discount it to 0 mana with Skull of Gul'dan, it will STILL be 1 mana when it's in outcast position. Maybe it just works differently with outcast, but I dunno, this just doesn't seem right. Not really a complaint, just an observation.

In classic Blizzard fashion, they probably reduce the cost by 5

Myth for Hysteria. Increase its cost somehow and then get 6 attack
