Oddly, the demon type really hurts this card, polluting the resurrect pool and getting pulled from hand instead of big taunt demons and Mal'Ganis. If this effect was something warlocks really wanted, Demonwrath would be seeing play right now.
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.
If you equip Aldrachi Warblades at 3, then you can just Twin Slice into this on 4. And this thing has rush too, and you can still go face with 6 attack, and have 1 mana left over.
Amazing card. Demonwrath that costs 1 more mana, with a 4/3 Body. OR, you can call this a Duskbreaker with +1 attack, but deals 1 less damage AOE. However, unlike Duskbreaker, Fire Breather doesn't damage Demons, which are a very common tribe for warlock. However, considering their pushing some kind of zoolock deck. I'm betting were going to see some more small demons soon. Also, because Fire Breather is a demon, you can cheapen it out on turn 3 by playing Kanrethad Ebonlocke on turn 2. (Yeah it does kill the Kanrethad Ebonlocke, but it can be a decent play against aggro.) Another thing that might not be worth mentioning that much, is that you can copy it with Felosophy in a control deck for more clears.
Standard: Will fit in Zoolock, depending on the other demon cards were going to see. And this will surely see play in control warlock decks, as they love to get some more AOE.
Wild: This MIGHT see play in Renolock, as the deck likes clears so they can survive early game. but it can mess up Bloodreaver Gul'dan and Voidcaller pulls. So that's something to be carefull off. And because of that, i'm pretty sure Cubelock won't use Fire Breather, because of Fire Breathers demon tribe messing up Bloodreaver Gul'dans ress pool. Maybe it will see play in some other decks, but i'm just too unsure if Zoolock and Discardlock even want this... Wow having a demon tag harms Fire Breather a lot in wild...
Vanilla is double the mana plus 1, so for 4 mana it’d be 9. It’s not like this is something that hasn’t been seen before, Chillwind Yeti’s from the classic set after all
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.
Warlock is a class designed to have strong AoE cards, which in this case you can either interpret as them having a lower cost for the same effect, or paying a smaller penalty on minion stats.
It's similar to how Flik Skyshiv in rogue can casually get a better Assassinate at the cost of only -2/-3 from Boulderfist Ogre, while every other class has a higher cost for single target removal.
There's a bit of misalignment between the goals of the AoE effect and the aggressive stat distribution of the minion. Zoo decks would make good use of those stats but also hurt themselves with the effect unless they limit their choices of minions to work around it. Meanwhile, slow decks won't get as much out of the 4/3 body. So it's an instance where a card is less than the sum of its parts.
If there's more small demons revealed down the line then we can see something like zoolock or demonlock. It won't exist outside of that though, since warlock has generally better AoE cards, and 2 damage to everything doesn't reach that magical figure of 3, where most things will die to.
I think the point that AngryShuckie is making is about the PROBABILITY that a card shows up in the options, not whether it’s DISPLAYED more than once.
I know. And these two things correlate with each other.
What I'm trying to say is, that the Probability of a certain Card being offered to you is influenced by the Fact that it can't be displayed more than once. Like I mentioned before, Effects that dicover from your Deck treat the Cards in it as if they were unique.
If you play Stitched Tracker with 15 Raptors and 3 other Minions in your Deck, it doesn't look at it and think:
„There's 1 Loothoarder, 1 Acolyte of Pain, 1 Thalnos and 15 Raptors in the Deck". What it actually thinks is:
„There's Loothoarder, Acolyte of Pain, Thalnos and Raptor in the Deck".

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

Reminds me of Duskbreaker.
The AoE is weaker, but it's not tied to a Condition and you can play it without screwing yourself over.

Autoinclude on every DH deck.

I can see that being played on a demonlock (not Big), with the prime you can play It on t3.

Wouldn't it be more balanced if the Condition said 10 Attack?
Like, 6 Attack in DH is not hard...
