I’m screwing around with demon hunter right now, coincidentally. With Razorfen Beastmaster, I’ll be interested to see if a demon hunter deathrattle deck’s in the works.

I approve. Deathrattles for DH is a fresh take on the new hero.

Wait for 2 more Deathrattles from the reveal for DH. Looks like the meanest SOB in the DH set.

The variation among the mana-cost required for the targets of some of these cards is interesting. This requires (5) or less, while Razormane Beastmaster is (4) or less. And Vengeful Spirit from earlier today draws two with no cost limitation, but requires you to meet the Outcast requirement.

I’m wondering how all of these are intended to work together, since the summon options don’t actually align with one another. Are there things you’d want to draw vs things you hope stay in your deck to be summoned by Blackthorn?

I guess we’ll need to wait to see what Deathrattles are still to come.

DR are usually considered too slow/poor stats and not fit for aggro (select ones like leper gnomes or undertaker hunter being exceptions), but it looks like the idea here is the DH can quickly draw and jank them out from hand or deck

In the known pool, al’ar is probably the best pull.

Vectus also exists for more DR synergy.

Minions is all well and good, but usually a well rounded deck will include some sort of non minion synergy, as in weapon or spell. But maybe generic weapons and spells can work too, like say a soul package where you don’t mind shardshatter mystic triggering your own deathrattles (e.g nerubian egg will be in core)

Shouldn’t this boar be a beast?

It’s a Quillboar. They’re not Beasts, just humanoids that look sort of like boars with spikes on their backs. Sort of like Vulpera are fox-like people, and Taurens are cow/bull-like people, etc.

Wtf… why is this 7 mana curator was 7 mana and added 3 to your hand?

Waiting for the inevitable
Obvious Synergy Plug
4 mana 6/1
Deathrattle deal 1 damage to the enemy hero for each card in your collection.

I don’t think priest has a monopoly on deathrattle or anything, but this would have been SUCH a cool priest card.

…this looks damn amazing, though.

The whole dr thing doesnt really fit what demonhunter has done so far so i think this is kinda bad,which is a good thing.

Looks like a fun and Really Strong Standalone Card.

Potentially around 19 mana worth of stats on turn 7 and probably Resistant to Removal.


6/5 Power

This is my sentiment exactly. It doesn’t fit at all with what DH normally does and cares about. All the support for this archetype is gonna have to come from this set because the cheap neutral deathrattles suck in standard and there’s only 2 in DH already and both of those are pretty bad. That said I am really happy demon hunter is looking like it’s getting a package that doesn’t look good at all because this first year of the class was so absurdly overpowered that it’s gotten me to completely hate the class and be so sick of it that I already want to see it in the dumpster tier only category.

On top of that demon hunter really doesn’t want to be running too many 6 mana or more cards that get in the way of skull of guldan and why run this when you can run the soul package

This is very reminiscent of Hooktusk.
