    So basically if Rogue could hero power turn 1 + a body. That's pretty strong.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Its an exclusive dhunter Waterboy for 1 mana. Its health is probably why this is not going to see much play, in my opinion.

    It'll see a lot of play. If you go second it's a 2/1, ping a 1 health minion. If you got first, you can hero power and play this on turn 2 for a 2/1 and to ping 2 health minion

    It will see play, but I often raise an eyebrow when I see a 1 drop that needs another minion in play to be useful. In this case, to maximize its potential this cant be a turn 1 play . You'd need another 1 drop or skip the first turn. If your opponent has a 1/2 on turn 1, you get to remove it and develop a 2/1, which can be pinged easily the following turn.

    Dont get me wrong, I still think its good. But not as good as most people might think. Considering that Twin Slice does the same but better, and that the hp is only 1 mana, I think there's better 1 drops than this.

    This is far from crazy. 2/1 for one mana will die to ANY damage and +1 damage to hero will kill only 1 health minions while damaging your hero.

    The comparison with Elven Archer seems is appropriate, and because of that it doesn't look 'crazy'. Gain +1 attack at the cost of taking face damage if you hit a minion. Plus it's a demon I guess, we'll have to wait and see how much that means for the class.

    There is quite a bit of synergy in the class for gaining attack on the hero.. but yep it's a +1 attack Elven Archer, nothing too crazy.

    Maybe I am mistaken, or maybe I'm worried that not every classes can consistently remove it before it snowballs.
    Could be wrong, I mean, I've never played Demon Hunter, but aggressive one drops tend to see play.

    The Demon Hunter version of Waterboy. This card is both a good turn 1 play and a decent card in later turns.

    I think this will be fantastic in the more aggressive and tempo style DH decks. Happy to throw him down on turn 1 and start the chip damage.

    They are pushing aggro DH hard. The Force is strong in this one (even without the bow).
