Yeah, the server side patch is able to adjust cards in game, but the local client hasn't been updated to show correct new stats. Cards are able to be DE'd for full value already though.
They stated in the announcement that they did a server side patch as a quick fix. The stats and cost changes are only reflected during a match until they can push the client patch out. Client patch should be coming today or tomorrow.
Can confirm, only while in hand. Which it does not say that, so... a bit disappointing. But it makes sense. Would likely be way too easy to get to 10 if it was no matter where it was.
Not 100% sure but it looks like you use Karl’thas and some DH 0 mana and low mana spells to play things like Inner Demon and Metamorphosis for free in a single turn. Basically generating enough attack power for you to just one punch the opponent in the face
The meta will adjust. We just lost a year’s worth of cards so players haven’t quite figured out best decks/strategies yet.
Early on I went 5-1 with a DH recipe deck and no changes. Then I suddenly started seeing a lot more Rez Priest and other control decks. Became very difficult. Although I’m sure a few tweaks are all it needs. Was playing the big boys list.
I feel like DH having so few class cards in comparison, being the new class, it probably has been finely tuned to ensure it doesn’t suck. That would be awful if they were like “NEW CLASS!” and it was just meh! But I also think we need to give the community time to react and find ways to beat DH before we pass judgement on nerfs that are needed.
I'm not able to copy decks in to HS currently. Not sure if this is an issue with the game itself or the codes from OoC. Or just me... (probably just me).
EDIT: I tried copying into HS Deck Tracker and it's saying the code copied from OoC is an invalid code.
"Clipboard contains no supported url or deck code."
Second EDIT: It might just be an issue with Demon Hunter deck codes. Copied in Libram Pally just fine. Highlander DH wasn't working. Looking off the Launch Day Survival article.
Demon Hunter codes should work now. Sorry about that!
No worries! I actually just went and made the Demon Crushers recipe instead of trying Firebat's highlander version. No changes to recipe and I went 5-1 in the lower half of Diamond rank. Safe to say people aren't expecting a control deck when they see Illidan! And the aggro DH decks can't handle the big DH taunts.
Loss was to Dragon Hunter. Saw zero new cards from them during the match.

Nicely done. On the other hand, this was my WORST ever. Opened 8 in 200 packs... *sigh*
But at least with duplicate protection at all levels I am only missing one epic, which I can wait on and not craft. And I have enough dust from last rotation, HoF, and extra copies that I can craft all 14 legendaries I missed if I want to. To start I'm only crafting the DH legendaries and Maiev. The rest can wait until I need them in a specific deck.
I imagine Outlands and Initiate sets will be a part of Arena for at least these next two cycles. Once the new expansion in August is out then we'll probably still see Initiate and the new set. Hell, any and all new sets this year might have to stay in the Arena pool just to give Demon Hunter more class cards to draft from.
I was thinking of playing it last night after posting this comment, but then looking over the list I was like, "No. I'm too tired and this needs some revisions!" Maybe I'll look at it again after the new cards come out. Perhaps the addition of some Librams could make it better as well.
I used to use Paragon of Light in an old Handbuff Val'anyr list! It was pretty decent before the nerf to Saronite Chain Gang messed with my weapon copy synergy! I mostly played it as a wild deck though so I still had Doppelgangster and Echoing Ooze to get the value from the weapon deathrattle.
A version of that list can be found here if anyone is interested.
I don't know if I'll try it right away, but I want to try and refine a Combo DH in WIld using Metamorphosis and some other cards to increase damage and use the upgraded hero power twice in a turn for a 40 damage combo. TTK, possibly OTK if I get enough cost reduction on the right things through Emperor Thaurissan and Skull of Gul'dan.
Could've been fun, but as most Brawls it's 95% RNG. The decks are so bad, that it's just a matter of who draws better.
PS: Paladin is by far the worst, did 5 games with each class, and couldn't win a single one with that one (usually dead before even a single card could be played).
I actually won the one game I played with Paladin. Got the "This minion only takes one damage at a time" taunt up with the shrine still active and then just kept buffing, and buffing, and buffing... Opponent couldn't get through it so I was free to build up a board behind it and go face, face, and face again.
But talking about the luck of RNG, my first attempt my opponent had a random Reno Jackson, and it was randomly active the turn before I had lethal.
But still more? So... what are we complaining about then? The bottom line is that the new system is a whole lot nicer with an increased number of cards, packs, etc. In your particular situation it may not seem too much of an upgrade, but for the player base as a whole it is improved. Especially for players on a budget or free to play.
I will say that it would be nice if they at least had a random chance for the free rare card rewards to upgrade to either golden rares or normal epics. Runeterra does it with their rewards, which either upgrades a single card at random, or in some cases the entire chest/pack upgrades at random.

I played a Nagrand Slam on turn 1 with Coin. That empty board made for a quick 12 to face. Got my win, and that’s enough of that.
Can confirm, only while in hand. Which it does not say that, so... a bit disappointing. But it makes sense. Would likely be way too easy to get to 10 if it was no matter where it was.
I crafted them instantly when I didn’t open them! No regrets either, even if they do get nerfed. I still want them.
Yeah, I said to someone earlier they likely went for strong cards because launching a new class and having it suck would be devastating

Thanks! Figured they didn't go all the way like before, and honestly that makes the most sense in comparison to the old system.
I actually won the one game I played with Paladin. Got the "This minion only takes one damage at a time" taunt up with the shrine still active and then just kept buffing, and buffing, and buffing...

Maybe next week when the new year starts
Last chance for this Brawl, unless they make a DH shrine and make the troll you played as in Rumble Run the DH hero for it.
