Thanks Nirast! The potential 14 Armor gain frightened me into making it really expensive. I adjusted it to your suggestion. Here's the alternative art, which would you like better?
The original is more interesting and more dynamic.
@anchorman I like the Titan artwork better. About the cost, I think 3 Mana is appropriate.
@MrRhapsody I think the new name sounds too vulgar, yes. What about something like Very EVIL Heckler? Dunno, we have a precedent with Mad Bomber and Madder Bomber.
At this moment I have no certain desire to climb the ladder but if I do, I will probably head down the same path as OP. I have to craft both the DH legendaries though.
At least I can tell you that they're absolutely a safe investment. Metamorphosis probably won't be nerfed and will remain essential as a finisher. Kayn is also necessary and will probably be used even if he ends up being nerfed.

Leave my favorite class alone. Yes he goes face, yes he doesn't give a shit about your taunts. That's what that class is all about.
and he also heals better than Warlock with more burst than Hunter and better card draw then Rogue. If it wasn't for the fact that he can't kill big minions early on he'd have no weaknesses whatsoever
I like the guardian the most. Maybe reword it to "activate the effect of your Hero Power" so there's no ambiguity when said power has been used for the turned.
I like the flavor of Thaurissan's Guard. It fits Blackrock very well. Ironmelt Guardian is difficult because what happens if you quipped a targeted hero power like mages? That said, Dragon Turtle has the cooles art and the effect is really innovative. I think it's the most interesting card and you should go with that one.

There's a typo in the name ("challAnger"), the point behind "Taunt" shouldn't be there and you should take care of the orphan in the last line. The card is interesting, but probably too slow to see play. But what if you added magnetic? That would be really crazy, since you should end up adding a copy of the other minion to your hand. A second Zilliax would be great.

This reminds me of Val'anyr. Interesting concept, but I have no idea if it is balanced.

Simple and solid, but I'm having difficulties bringing the art and the card together. A huge warlord Demon with 1/2/2? Is there some WoW lore behind this I don't know about?
I'm at 13-6 (68% wr) with the latest version of the deck, climbing from silver to platinum in wild ranked. Good matchup against DH as long as you get a nice consecration early on because we got so much healing afterwards they can not keep on. Big priest is good because they give you enough time to setup. Did not encounter razakus priest so can't tell. Zoo warlock can go either way. Cube warlock is a good matchup because we have a lot of taunts. Secret mage is a pain, but it's the case with 80% of decks so no suffering, just accept your death. Even sham can go either way. Same for evolve sham since it's a bullshit deck in essence. Spell hunter is very easy, so is deathrattle as long as it's the big variant and not the face one.
Did not match any other class, everyone was playing DH when I tried the deck 🤷♂️
I've got a second iteration with different art, but imgur is malfunctioning right now. Feedback would be very welcome.
I found ZardozSpeakz idea to ask Linkblade what the deck is missing really helpful. Too bad Sulfuras requires the minions to be played. Maybe I'll try my hand at another Taunt minion with Echo, but that will be hard I guess...
Skull of Gul'dan discounts cards by (2) (Outcast would still be 'draw 3 for free', possibly still too good).
Priestess of Fury: deals damage at the START of your turn. OR deals damage to board only (this should keep in check the Tempo builds against Control, still good for Tempo against Aggro)
Kael'thas Sunstrider costs (8) (this should keep in check ALL Combo lists, not just DH, against Tempo)
I used her in previous versions of the deck, but we still need one coin to make sure the OTK happens, and since she is understated and does not have a direct impact on the board when she arrives (and can ever burn some combo pieces if you cast too much librams and the minion gets destroyed), I decided to cut her for snip snap which gives more board presence. If you have good results with her it would be interesting to share your version :)
With exception of a few games to feel up the decks, been avoiding tempo and OTK dhunters like the plague. Just dont like climbing ladder with decks like this. It feels dirty, as you have experienced evidently. If I have to play meta decks at all, I'd like to make some changes into them so I can feel like I've contributed to the deck's power to some degree.
Of course, with principles like this comes poor rank climbing. Been stuck around rank 7 diamond for some time, trying desperately making decks like zixor combo hunter work. I might move on to try ranking up with paladin or shaman next. Wonder what my rank would be by the end of the month had it not been for rank floors.
Without a doubt tempo dhunters is going to dominate until next expansion or until some nerfs are set. Its greatest gift to all of hearthstone is to completely ensure that other tempo decks cant exist, and making res priest a dominant and popular deck. Truly evil indeed.
Leave my favorite class alone. Yes he goes face, yes he doesn't give a shit about your taunts. That's what that class is all about.
That shouldn't imply the class should easily get away with it and steamroll the meta.
I think a couple more nerfs are on their way, just mild ones (possibly on cards that make it too comfortable for a Tempo deck to overcome a Control one), and I think you can stay assured they won't break the back of the new class.
Maokai is Legend of Runeterra's Newest Champion - New Shadow Isles Card Reveals & Toss Mechanic
Burns their deck, but defeats opponent with the board anyways. Seems like how most of the games will go down. too gimmicky.
Forgive me brothers...
Same story. It took me 21 wins though.
My reward was Xavius, pretty fitting aswell :)
I realy enjoy the outcast mechanic. It‘s a shame that it feels so dirty winning with DH..
Forgive me brothers...
Funnily enough King Mukla is actually a decent card in tempo demon hunter.
How many of those games that you played were mirror matches, though?
Legends of Runeterra - Patch 0.9.4 Card Balance Changes

Overload Totem Shaman
Bloodlust, but if you switch it out might as well switch off the overload package entirely imo.
Introducing the Death Knight: A new Hearthstone class!
Tweaked the class a bit, added more cards. Considering the HP revamp but I want to keep the following:
- Random swap each turn with a pool of X hero powers (3 seems like the most optimal number).
- Permanent (but slow) gain in power.
Was thinking of tweaking the HP to look something like this: ”Deal 1 damage to your hero and give it +2 Attack until your next attack (stacks).”

Feedback:
Xarkkal
Yeah, your card could probably go down to 4 mana, maybe even 3, since it's still susceptible to hard removal.
Fedrion
Just gonna agree with Xarkkal. Give it a better stat-line.
h0lysatan
Looks goos. Basically a smaller and more limited Val'anyr. Not sure if the cost should be increased or not.
BasilAnguis
Simple and effective. I like it.

I like the guardian the most. Maybe reword it to "activate the effect of your Hero Power" so there's no ambiguity when said power has been used for the turned.
anchorm4n
WAAAAAAAAAY overcosted. Bolster is 2 mana with no Armor gain, so this would be a 3 at most.
