I strongly disagree with this. Demon Hunter's core theme is one-turn hero attack buffs and benefiting off hero attacks, plus augmenting low-impact cards with incredible card draw. They have side-themes of Rush minions, symmetrical AoE, a lack of hard removal, cheating out demons, and token synergy. I would say that is a strong, clear, and distinct class identity. I would even argue that DH probably has the cleanest class identity in the game, without any weird old cards feeling out-of-place.
Their class identity was rough at the start, but I think they've carved a very distinct niche over the past three years. I have no doubt that DK or any other class could likewise be carefully molded.
It doesn't defy logic or mechanics at all. Bouncing only removes self enchantments, and Edwin's effect isn't technically self-applied. He places an enchantment on the card you draw, which grants that card the effect to give Edwin +2/+2, draw a card, and enchant the card you drew. Since it's possible for minions to gain stats while in hand, Edwin continues to gain stats off the enchanted cards.
It's me, ya boy, guy who occasionally asks for card backs to be up to date. Card backs are a little behind again. I don't think the section has been updated since Throne of the Tides.
I would give a detailed list, but that would require me to reinstall Battlenet and that's not happening.
Deathwarden, just with Secrets instead of Deathrattles. Same stats, same cost, same rarity, same type of effect. It's even a mini-set card. Like Deathwarden, I think Tight-Lipped Witness is pretty unlikely to see play. Any counter card that is that targeted and doesn't dismantle the thing it's countering isn't good enough.
Well, we saw our first Nerf of the set. Did we learn nothing about this guy with the spells? Colossal minions coming out super fast is scary.
You're looking at at least 6-7 mana to cheat something out, or even more cards to cheat Kael out then a big minion. It's hard to chain minions together, so you're probably only getting this effect once. Which class plays this card? It doesn't seem worth it.
I disagree, Demon Hunter's main gimmick of building up lots of one-turn attack buffs to augment weak weapons is not really seen in any other class. Personally, I find that gameplay loop pretty fun. The main issue is that their minions and non-attack spells are all over the place.
However, I also think that people are way too harsh on DH. Any time Blizzard makes something that's an even slight deviation on theme for them, and people flip their shit. Deathrattle DH was the only time I've had fun with the class, because it was something fresh. They should be allowed to experiment and find their footing.
Earth Shock is not a good counter, because you have no way to win the game other than getting lucky with the 10 rando cards. As soon as they topdeck a Pogo and you don't topdeck an Earth Shock, you lose.
The best counter is Varden Dawngrasp. You freeze their board every turn and establish a bunch of 3/3s to quickly end the game.
Even if this card were to be good, there is that heavily implied Location counter yet to be revealed. If that card is any good, then it'll keep this in check.

I have to work during the livestream. Here's hoping Polygon leaks everything a day early again.
Bump?
Stiltstepper works the same way. If you play the card, bounce Stiltstepper, then play the drawn card, you still get the Attack buff.

The 2/6 is a huge deal with Dirty Rat. Disruption is always great, but the lower utility definitely hurts this card.
I don't see how it's better than Eater or Kezan Mystic.

Higher the tier, the lower the armor. Tier 1 is no armor.
Grizzled Reinforcement could easily be 4 mana and have "Start of Game: Draw this." and not be broken.
I managed to open two golden Legendaries this set. Unfortunately, one of them was The Stonewright, so you can't win them all.
I'd imagine it summons a random minion from your hand to attack the targeted enemy minion.

This card is 7 mana.

Playing two in one turn to kill off all of your skeletons and resummon a full board. That's my guess at least.
