Do you remember Possessed Lackey? Say "Hello" to his older brother. DH has some nice big demons, so it will be used for sure.
What's the most powerful card in Hearthstone?
A credit card.
This is disgusting. Even if you only run two of these and no other demons, the first you play will probably summon the other and make a really strong turn. Unless you're unlucky and have both in hand, you get total 14/18 stats with taunt for 9 mana.
Boring. Why are we printing Warlock cards for other classes?
Sure, combined with the guy that reduces your demons cost by 2 it will definitely see play in some form, but it's already indicative of what the archetype will be allowed to do:
Cheat out some big demons and that'S about it. They're not gonna repeat the Cubelock fiasco so we're never getting something that would really justify running this in a dedicated deck. At best it'S gonna make people run Black Knight or BGH again
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I'm not sold on control DH yet. It'll be a thing at some point, but I don't think right away.
This one has taunt even without the keyword.

Indeed, the snowball potential is real ; that's a must kill
can't wait to try it out!
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Oh hey, look its Recruit „SUMMON A MINION FROM YOUR DECK".
... At least it sounds better than „Repeatable this Turn".

This card has a similar effect as Dragonhatcher, which only saw little play in control druid, but DH doesn't have enough cards to build a control deck right now. 9 mana is also way to expensive for aggro decks, which usually want to close out games around turn 6-8.
I think this can work, by running a small high-cost Demon engine, with an early game of non-Demons. Card looks pretty strong though, also decent to get in Warlock as a "random" Demon.
He's very similar to Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, and he saw plenty of play. This should be good. I like that DH is getting multiple archetypes.

With no Voidlord for dhunter, and the fact that there are few useful demons in the list means this will often just be a 7/9 taunt for 9 that summons itself. Not too bad, but not terribly good neither.
Seems good if there are a bunch of big demons.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
Because of Priestess of Fury this card will see play in control DH decks, which Kripp has already proven to be a very viable deck.
Also Warlock can very easily get this card with Shadow Council even if that spell is a meme
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
This card looks really really strong we had a card that was a 2/4 with no taunt no tribial, same cost and it was played in ramp druid.
Btw *recruit*
I get the feeling that this is going to be too slow for DH
A bit costly and have a slow clunky feel to this card. Imagine getting 2 of this and the "big demons" you plan to summon with this on turn 1-5..you'll prob auto concede.
This card needs help, in-that it needs more enticing targets to pull from one's deck to justify playing it. The ones we have might not be enough. However, we have plenty of time to introduce new Demons into the mix so I'm hopeful.
If a Big Demon DH deck will exist, it's because of this guy. However, I think the existence of such a deck is dubious, so I don't think we'll see this guy much. Demon Hunters simply have too many good tempo tools to make a slow control deck with.
We already have Fel Summoner and that other guy who reduces the cost of your next demon by 2, I see no reason why there shouldn't be a "big demon" Demon Hunter deck featuring this card. Though it will be very hard to be able to play this guy without some form of cheating.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
One card to make a deck work.
Very expensive, very big piles of stats tend to make poor control finishers. Maybe this can be accelerated out with Raging Felscreamer, but this, and by extension the 'big demon' concept, still seems like a worse finisher than some kind of spell spam with demon hunter's large set of zero cost cards. This will almost certainly get better as more support is printed.
This post is discussing the wild format.
Good stat and really strong effect...but the real problem are the other demon. This card need a deck with a decent numer of big demon and not the small one and maybe DH can't afford right now
Targeted [Hearthstone Card (Y'ssharj) Not Found]. I like it. Could make for interesting deck building, especially in Wild with Bloodreaver Gul'dan being a thing! Get those big demons out, baby!
Oh wait... Darkest Hour is already a thing. So maybe this is bad. lol
Nevermind! It's DH card. Spending all day, every day at home with a 4 month old during this pandemic is obviously driving me crazy.
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.
There is a fact that this is a Demon Hunter demon.
You can't summon this with Warlock unless it says "random demon" and all of the cards you said mentions minions from your deck.

Oh damn! Must still be getting used to the idea that big demons like this can exist outside of Warlock! But, it would be a sweet Warlock card. :

Very strong in the Arena. In wild there are much better options for 9 mana. In standard this will only be strong, if the deck is loaded with highcost demons, wich would crash the curve.
I don't know if there will be big demons in the expansion to come, but looking at now i'm not sure big DH is strong enough. It's certainly fun, though.
It's a strong minion, and DH's have stronger demons with no downsides as opposed to Warlocks.
It's only downsides are
1. RNG summon - you'll have to build around this guy to get the most out of his effect. which means you won't use the early cheap aggressive demons
2. mana cost - I'm not sure DH's will want to wait till turn 10 to win the game, so why have such a late game minion?
This card is iffy. It all depends with it’s interactions with other demons. 9 man 7/9 with taunt is OK. If it gets another powerful demon then it is really good
really expensive..
i don't understand, why would a demon hunter have so many demons?
They’ve gotten a few big minions that this could work with (and it can summon itself) so it seems pretty strong
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
There are a handful of big demons that are really good to cheat out along with a 7/9 taunt all for 9 mana. Big minion cheating has historically been powerful and the defensive body add up to a game winning build around that slower archetypes like highlander DH will want to utilize.
For glory, honor, and gold!
A very good enabler for a big Demon deck archetype.
Not amazing as it is a slow turn 9 play by itself, but has real snowball potencial.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Don't believe this will be good this expansion, demons available are either too weak, or have effects that you want to procc your turn, like rush or 6 damage to all enemies.
However, this does allow for a future build in the next expansions should any good demon arrive. It's a sleeper card waiting for the right help, just like Grumble in shaman last year.
I like this, feels like a cool value card. Playable only if demon demon hunter is a viable deck, which doesn't really seems to be the case unfortunately .
Unfortunately "big" demon hunter seems to be mediocore. Maybe in future expansions, when we get more big demons we will see that card played.
I never apologize… I’m sorry but that’s the way I am.
