Let Demon Hunter have a good deck please. I’m sure the deck is strong based on the win rates, but my experience playing against it was that it was a manageable matchup (playing BBU death knight).
manageable?
i’ve just died from Exodar which did 100 (!!!) dmg

Would be cool if they changed star vulpera to remove all stacks of a certain buff from starship , that would allow us to have a tech card to counter and provide a meaningful decision on when to use it against armor DH
It’s a nice deck, but it can be beaten by a bad draw or opponents who can just muscle you down. Armor can only do so much if you’re not putting any pressure on the opponent. You also have to be so careful about which minions under 4 cost you actually play or you could inadvertently mess yourself up. Some of the imbue decks are pretty nasty and can overpower starship dh or just soak up the starship damage anyways.
so any kind of control/midrange shouldnt play rn?
Correct, or just play dh vs all the dh and see who can combo first/better lol
If you get a crystal down and the five cost down once in the game, you will win nine out of ten games.
Against many decks I find myself just trying to see how big I can make it before I kill my opponent, completely controlling the match and toying with them.
I have launched the ship with Exodar, taken the armor, and then used a cube to get even more armor. Infinite demons and 400+ armor is going to beat most anything in standard.

I really have to wonder at the Dev’s train of thought when they come up with stuff like this that then gets played as CT describes. It’s obvious that getting that much armor is insane. Do they do it for the memes? Shock value of seeing ridiculous numbers in videos and screenshots? Or did logic just get thrown out of the window altogether? Sure, it may not happen every time, or most people know that they have the game in hand and just mercy kill the opponent, but the fact remains that there is a level of ridiculousness that shouldn’t exist in what’s supposed to be a competitive card game right?

Yes. They want explosive moments so people share those explosive moments to market the game for free. It has been their MO for some time now.
Says who? Definitely not Blizzard seeing the many stabs they performed on the carcass of Esports HS.
I agree with you that it is a level of ridiculousness too far, but I only feel that way about standard. If this was a wild meme deck, I would be pretty happy about it and spend time trying to see how high I could get it to go.
I do not think these numbers should be in standard, though.
The Exodar can do hundreds of damage with the starship.

Also summoning and resummoning endless boards is plenty of pressure? Not to mention the potential to resummon 50/50 windfury ships + Kil’Jaden the Wincon

My counter to this personally is going under.
I Just Go wide and let DH have to trade the demons by itself and letting my face open.
As for the defence cristal.
It was overpowered from start so It is kinda obvious that the First time they Gave It real synergy It would spiral out of Control.
It was a take so right that It spiraled even after a preventive nerf.

I don’t even use Exodar for winning at this point. In fact, you can probably even cut it and be fine. You win with massive armor, massive minions with windfury and the kiljaeden. Literally don’t even need exodar.
The deck is that broken.

maybe a warrior deck with food fight ?
Prob assumed it would be used for Dreadsteed/Big Demon Synergy. Most likely the felbats will get limit to summon demons only and that’ll be the end of it.
Which will resolve the Starship DH problem but will leave DH unplayable for another 3 months.
Oh well, this is the bed that Team 5 made.
Even warrior wont be able to stack over 100 armor to survive Exodar’s damage
I had as DK 70 HP + 30 armor and still died to Ceaseless + Exodar combo. DH had over 30 starhip pieces xD
They can also limit exodar damage to face to go up to 20 or 30 at max.
or for easier wording “cannot damage the same enemy more than 20-30 times”
Or make starship max stack attack/hp limit to 30 for example.
Or make Crystal 5 mana and buff it.
I’m just playing a imbue shaman with two hexes and the 4 mana transform spell, it even synergies with my deck so that’s what I’m rocking till they fix it.
