Has anyone won a single game with the Core Demon Hunter deck recipe?

The Core Demon Hunter deck recipe is unplayable garbage. Did anyone playtest this deck in Standard before release?

Yesterday I attempted to win a game in Standard using this deck. I tried for over 3 hours and lost. Every. Single. Game. Never even got close to winning. I went 0-20 before deciding enough was enough. What the hell? Anyone else have a similar experience with the new core decks?

I have went up 8 ranks since the update yesterday. I believe itā€™s foolish to be locked into the decks. I spent time creating several decks and now cannot use them because Iā€™m not bronze 10. Being punished for being new.

Demon Hunter is stupid op. Just go face and opponent dies before turn 5

I think the Core Deck recipes are kinda bad and not adapted to the meta. I have been trying out ~760 dust decks with just Common + Rare and Core cards, and some have been winning. But I donā€™t have a big sample size.

Right, the free decks are bad and they have low win rates. Blizzard wants you to spend money.

Yeah, not being adapted to the meta is one thing. But when a deck is so bad that an experienced TCG player can literally not win a single game with it in a 3-hour session, that tells a different story.

Having a low win rate is fine. Iā€™ve played lots of meme decks with very low win rates that were still occasionally able to pull off a victory. But losing 20 games in a row at Bronze 10 is unacceptable.

Oh, the Core DH should be one of the better ones. I donā€™t think youā€™d have that much trouble winning with it (I might try it later)

So I went 2W-5L (Bronze 8 to Bronze 4). But the deck is all over the place. Feast of Souls and Coordinated Strike donā€™t have enough support and donā€™t belong in the deck.

The first game I won, I got double Battlefiend out early and a lot of weapon damage for Illidari Inquisitor finisher. So the deck should have 2 copies of that.

To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone
