Hmm i don't know if this card is nerf-worthy or not. Deal 9, potentially kept alive, if not then there is taunt coming for you is kinda strong.

This is a great weapon, no "overkill" mechanic to slow it down, and coupled with that 0 mana "blur" spell it'll mean you can clear a board without hurting yourself too much

Pretty good if you can play it On Turn 1 - i absolutely love this card - mostly because of the Art ;) 

Compared to similar weapons that were underwhelming, Illidan can boost his attack way more than other classes through his hero power and a ton of cards. This weapon could surprise us!

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? 

Nice part of the "Cheat out big demons" package for Illidan. Too slow/weak to be played on curve though.

This is definitely going to be in the classic set! Just like Gorehowl and Doomhammer is.

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.

I'd say you can:

a) try to be even more aggressive, for example with Aggro Stealth Rogue. 

b) Play Plot Twist Control Warlock (Thijs has a nice early version of this on his YouTube), which has access to a lot of Taunts, Healing and...2x Sacrificial Pact.

c) Put too much in their way for them to handle. I'd imagine that a Taunt Warrior like my build below would make all that small minions bounce off...until they play Kayn Sunfury, but then again, your big minions would eat him alive the next turn...

[AoO] Into the Fraaaaay! Bounce those DH

Regarding your deck, I 100% second dapperdog: either drop the quest or the Embiggen, both together mean too many dead cards to overcome the initial aggression. 

Gonk was turned into this. 

One of the few real survivalcards that could help enable control-Demonhunters.

This is good. And scary. It's exactly what Illidan needs for the last push to your face and I will curse this card many, many times starting April 7.

Very good curveminion for DH midrangedecks.

It's hard to see the point of this card in standard. You have the EVIL and Mana tide totems otherwise this is kind of pointless. 

I run a similar list and I am curious why Anivia? What do you find she brings to the strategy? 

What an age to live in! To see a new Charge Minion being printed.

This card is sick, easy instacraft target. This card is just never bad, I cant wait to fish for it with my rogue burgle cards! 

Perfect against the large beefy guys of this expansion. 

I like this card but probably it's heavy meta dependant. In a meta full of token or agro this is a huge card, but in other situation need some help to full clear the board

Solid curveminion/spotremoval.

Evolve Shaman could very well make some kind of comeback. This seems also more balanced than the 1-mana spell, even though it comes with a body it's less flexible and any combo will be more expensive. Also quest synergy!

Weakest shaman card of this set. I hope Blizzard will not print in future some strong totem minion for 1/2/3 mana...

Looks wickedly powerful. 

Powerful finisher at a reasonable cost. Can also kill important minion behind taunts. Overall 5/5.
