It's a bit different than Reno. Definitely worse. End of turn is much worse than right the heck now, since you can't bust through taunts for lethal. It going face also makes it very unreliable for sniping one big minion, which is how I use Reno 80% of the time.
I would say repeatable Fireball to the face, but your opponent can deal with a 7-drop. If they can't, you were winning anyway. Even cut down to 5 mana with Raging Felscreamer, it's too slow for an aggro deck. Like, are you really running a 4/4/4 with no immediate effect in aggro? Probably not. You're definitely not going to run enough medium to big demons to make Felscreamer worth it. No aggro deck would ever play a 7 mana 6/7 that doesn't win the game.
People are saying Demon Hunters are being given aggro tools, but they're so much slower than what Hunter and even Warlock pump out. I see Demon Hunter as a midrange class with the cards presented. This is a dream midrange drop. It's flexible, it can go face or play board control. It's a threat on board. That's exactly what midrange wants. Same with Imprisoned Antaen.
Here's my idea. Having played DH a bunch, I decided to go for one of their spells. Fiery Brandin WoW when applied to an enemy, causes the enemy to deal less damage to you, and increase the amount of Fire damage you deal to the target. I thought that sounded like a great tool for DH in HS to save a little damage when attacking a minion, while also getting some extra damage out of your hero power to give you the ability to take down some larger minions.
The debate of whether DH would have been in the League of E.V.I.L. or one of the heroes will have to wait for another day...
I really dislike this mechanic of dealing randomly split damage for demon hunter. I am aware of the benefits and problems of rng in a game like hearthstone, I just think this class has too much of this effect introduced already.
I don't think there is an existing archetype where this can fit in. If it finds a home, I think it will likely be with pally or priest since they have the most buff cards I think. Moreso with pally since he can guarantee a minion to transform with his hero power.
Only potential downsize I see is the beast tag if you are planning to use this with Scavenger's Ingenuity + Zixor Prime combo. It prevents the guarantee of tutoring the exact beast.
Great for finishing of a weak Board, and, since DH has so much Damage, probably a good Finisher in general. Imagine sticking one of these for 2 Turns (or summoning 2 with that Copy Spell/Skull of Gul'dan). 12 Damage to Enemies will leave a huge Mark, no Matter where it lands.
The only Downside this Card has is its Cost. Though that's Something that DH can get around through Cost Reduction.
Yeah underwhelming with current spells available. Odds are Druid will get a new 10 mana or so spell that will be her pet. I guess there's also possibly a deck that runs just her and the mana reduction dormants and maybe Kaelthas and then just spells, with Fungal Fortunes and Crystalsong Portal.
While comparing this card with Reno the Relicologist You guys are skipping that Reno the Relicologist has an instant effect, so if minions don't die, you can ping or use another spell.
This card doesn't guarantee how it deals damage. I'm not saying here you can't set the things up for your favor but pointing that it is still an "At the end of your turn" effect which can do absurd things thanks to rng.
Card is good, I'm not saying it is a bad card but comparing it with Reno the Relicologist bothers me a bit. I personally think that an effect like this doesn't need a condition, if it has been a battlecry, then it would need a condition in my opinion. I'm in the same boat with Blizzard at this time.
They really want DH to succeed, huh. Like, this is a weaker but constant Reno the Relicologist. And it's gonna stay for 2 Years! I can imagine that this and/or Imprisoned Antaen will get nerfed. Maybe not during the 1st Xpac but probably later on.
Btw, all their Cards that can damage Face really put the HUNTER in Demon Hunter.
A Boulderfist Ogre that casts at least 2 Arcane Missiles for 7 mana - or a slightly different version of Ragnaros the Firelord. In addition, this card has pseudo-taunt, since your opponent has to deal with it immediately if he doesn't want to receive the 6 damage again next turn. This is definitely a good card in constructed, and even a better card in arena.
The only downside if this card might be the mana cost, since 7 mana could be too expensive for the aggressive play style of Demon Hunter.
Its not a 5 mana do nothing. Its 5 mana, reduce selected spells by 2 cost, and more crucially, it has taunt. The taunt alone makes it worth it. So even at worst, its a 5 mana 4/6 taunt. Good enough honestly.
I know. That's why I wrote it down. ;)
It has a bigger Cost Reduction than the other Guy and the Fact it has Taunt makes this Card a good on-curve Play (or a 5 Mana do Something).
I probably should have put a comma somewhere in my first Comment, sry!
Well, fluffy...er...knives, is like most other dhunter cards, very good. And this one's not a legendary so you get to put 2 copies, so that helps a little with consistency.
Pairs very very well with the already probably broken card Imprisoned Antaen. Played on curve, your opponent can expect 16 shots at their board and face, while starring down at a 10/6 and 6/7, turn 7.
I won't be too surprised to find out if either one gets nerfed a while after the expansion starts. In fact, nerfs to dhunter is probably just a matter of time.

New Demon Hunter Minion - Priestess of Fury
Seems like a good, versatile albeit slow card.
This is 6 damage to face if DH can clear board, or can be used as an inconsistent board clear for a board full of weakened or token minions.
The non-battlecry effect also means another free 6 damage next turn if not removed. Another bonus is this cannot be blocked by Boompistol Bully.

I don't think there is an existing archetype where this can fit in. If it finds a home, I think it will likely be with pally or priest since they have the most buff cards I think. Moreso with pally since he can guarantee a minion to transform with his hero power.
Overall, seems like worse version of Faceless Corruptor.
Unfortunately, for standard, all magnetics rotate with Boomsday.
New Hunter Minion - Mok'Nathal Lion
Very nice card.
This is essentially a 4 mana 5 damage removal card, trigger a deathrattle.
Insane value curving into this after playing Zixor, Apex Predator on turn 3.
Only potential downsize I see is the beast tag if you are planning to use this with Scavenger's Ingenuity + Zixor Prime combo. It prevents the guarantee of tutoring the exact beast.

Quite busted.

It is more like comparable with Ragnaros the Firelord rather than Reno the Relicologist.
