    It's fun for some weird Malygos Kael'thas Sunstrider OTK shenanigans, but I don't see it becoming a viable card unless druid gets some really strong high-cost spells like Ultimate Infestation.

    It's like a slightly more expensive Arcanite Reaper that can't be destroyed and goes through taunts. I see this being played just to give that extra bit of reach for agressive DH decks.

    Absolutely nuts. 1 mana draw a card is always good, and I don't see this being stuck in hand too much. Will be played in every single DH deck.

    Very decent card. 2 mana draw a card is fine, 2 mana draw 2 cards is very good. Its playability will depend on how easy the Outcast effect will be procced.

    Good control card, will slow down any token deck in the earlygame.

    A nice bit of value, but bad tempo for a class that REALLY loves tempo. Will see play in slower Demon Hunter decks, but I don't see those becoming as popular as fast tempo decks.

    Like Zilliax, it's a strong midgame card that will both slow down your opponent's aggression and restore your health total. Will see play in any midrange or control DH deck.

    An imposing body that's too big for your opponent to ignore, but I don't see Demon Hunter running a slow big demons deck when it will probably be the best tempo class in the game. Just too slow compared to all other DH cards.

    You can tempo it out on turn 2 as a bloodfen raptor, or use it as cheap removal later in the game. Flexible card, will see play.

    Best card of the entire set. 5 mana deal 3 is already a very good card. 5 mana cast 3 Far Sights? Absolutely bonkers. Both an insane value and tempo play. Will see play in every DH deck until it rotates.

    All the people at the summit say that this is one of the best cards of the whole DH class, and I believe them. With strong early-game tempo tools you can afford to skip turn 5, to close out the game on turn 7. We'll see him a lot.

    One of the best cards from the set. It's like a cheaper ragnaros that doesn't suck against token decks. We'll see this girl a lot.

    Insane stats for the cost, combining a proactive tempo play with a defensive one. Even just dropping it on 8 without any minion opposing it will threaten your opponent's life total. I see this topping off the mana curve of tempo-y midrange DH decks.

    Good card for it's flexibility. When behind it's a good board control tool, while when ahead it's 12 damage to the face. Its only major weakness are decks full of big minions like Embiggen Druid, so whether it will see play or not depends on whether decks like those dominate the meta.

    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.

    Obviously very strong, allowing for unexpected burst through taunts. Even just dropping this on 4 and valuetrading for it will be good. Expect to see this in every single Demon Hunter list for the coming 2 years.

    I voted on the cards from the Ashes of Outland expansion guide page. Does that count?

    Quote From Elvaeyn

    Having the Zixor package in there feels like it would just make the deck less consistent, since your Scavenger's Ingenuity could hit that or his prime. Now that we've seen all of the hunter cards, it would probably be better to replace those with Scrap Shot and something else.

    Hunting Party also feels too slow now that we know we can get more than one +3/+3 on Krush, meaning you could OTK with as little as two if you hit all three buffs

     

    Thanks for the suggestions! I agree with your points. I have decided to put in a small dragon package to help against early agression, which also helps cycling with Big Ol' Whelp. Tell me what you think about that.

    The main reason I put in blessing of wisdom is because a deck like this really needs carddraw, and you get it back with Lady Liadrin. I agree that I should probably try to fit in the 6 mana libram.
