New demon hunter cards

I can’t seem to post images. Hopefully someone else can.

Argunite Golem - 3 mana common minion
1/5 Gains +1 attack for each card drawn this turn.

Eredar Deceptor - 4 mana common demon minion
3/5 Summon a 1/1 Rush Demon whenever you draw a card.

Crystalline Statue - 2 mana rare elemental minion
5/4 Starts Dormant, Rush - Awakens after 4 cards are drawn.

Momentum - 5 mana rare spell
Gain +4 attack this turn. Costs 1 less mana for each card drawn this turn.

Runic Adornment - 2 mana epic spell
Discover a spell that costs (3) or less. Shuffle two Cast When Drawn copies into your deck.

Jotun, the Eternal - 5 mana legendary minion
4/5 Battlecry: For the rest of the game, cast a copy at enemies of the first spell you draw each turn.

Seem pretty good draw deck for wild draw quest stuff.

Damn that legendary might be the best card of the set so far. How far we’ve come in terms of value and mana cheating.

Blizzard seems to have completely lost it, by putting such a strong effect on a 5 mana minion.

Looks like some classic DH shenanigans of drawing their whole decks by turn 8. Cringing already.

Relic DH stocks just went waaaay up. Topdecking any relic is just an extra copy played

Runic Adornment could also be used in that deck.

These are really cool. DH has had “draw lots of cards” synergy before, but not in this quantity.

Jotun, the Eternal is a bonkers card. Low tempo but you can make up for it almost immediately. It’s also random, but people don’t put bad spells in their DH decks. Relic DH is the clear winner.

  1. Relic DH will spew off extra Relics, which is obviously insane, or Unleash Fel; Taste of Chaos is a low roll.
  2. Outcast DH doesn’t have a ton of synergy here. You can get random Rush the Stage or Security, but that’s about it.
  3. Spell DH and Big DH are kinda whiffing here.

Crystalline Statue is basically Goldshire Gnoll, but only for DH. If you play it on turn 2 it comes up on turn 3 or 4, just like Gnoll did. Seems solid for Outcast DH.

Runic Adornment is clearly for Relic DH. You can get extra Phantasms and Extinctions for it, in addition to Unleash Fel and other card draw spells. Definite auto-include in Relic DH, might replace Nerubian Vizier. Probably good enough for any DH though.

Argunite Golem is the worst one here. Might have synergy with Argus though, IDK.

Eredar Deceptor is actually great for Outcast DH, who can use Glaivetar to great effect here.

Momentum will be part of a finisher combo. Not sure where it fits right now. Probably Spell DH?

Overall, I’m not seeing a TON of synergy with Argus, but you could probably use Argus with Deceptor and Argunite Golem on turn 10 after using the “Discount by 2” ability. Glaivetar seems to be a great tool for this.

Honestly, Relic DH might have an argument for using Jotun and then not power-drawing. If you draw too much, you’ll skip over all of your relics in one turn! Matchup-dependent, I’m sure. But if I’m against a slow deck, I’d much rather draw slowly and get a free Relic of Extinction or Phantasms every turn.

EDIT: Oh, I’ll be honest, I completely forgot about the “Aggro DH” package that they got back in Nathria - stuff like Bibliomite, Sightless Magistrate, Kryxis the Voracious, and the Magnifying Glaive. Those can also work well with Crystalline Statue, Argunite Golem, Eredar Deceptor, and Momentum. So maybe we’ll see a bigger Aggro DH presence!

3 more were revealed:

weight of the world - 3 mana rare spell
Draw 2 cards. Forge: Draw cards until you have as many in hand as your opponent first.

yikes power creeped divine favor/arcane intellect for dh

Disciple of Argus - 3 mana common minion
2/2 Deathrattle: Summon two 2/2 elementals with Taunt.

Mythical Terror - 7 mana epic demon beast minion
3/10 Lifesteal At the end of your turn, force all enemy minions to attack this.

seems like a tougher wider hollow hound

So let me get this straight…

The class that has zero problems with card draw and zero problems with mana gets an entire archetype that benefits from card draw and gets mana discounts and synergy for doing so?

What could possibly go wrong?

3 cards nerfed per patch.

But what would any current DH cut to include the «card draw» package? Outcast might pick up Statue and Deceptor, but it seems mostly geared towards an Aggro DH that doesn’t exist right now.

Relic DH won’t use WotW, its hand is full all of the time. Outcast probably won’t use that either. I think Relic DH will cut Okani/Felerin/Mel’tranix for Jotun and Runic Adornment. But there’s not room for the other new cards unless Relic wants to use Renathal.

No, this is an entire new draw and scam cards deck. And it’s very likely the other 2 archetypes pick up a card or two to increase draw and pressure.

It’s also possible it could be another relic dh version that incorporates a faster package with earlier pressure. All these cards help DH do things they’re already doing well.

Aggro DH forges WotW to activate Ignis, then gets Windfury weapon and double Momentum. EZ PZ Rank 1 Legend.

There were some memes about Dispose of Evidence right after Ignis got revealed, but now we have Momentum and WotW, so it might not be a joke.

Relic DH and Outcast DH already draw through their entire deck faster than anyone else can even dream of.

It’s why Relic DH has zero problems running Fizzle. It can get that Fizzle copy back within a turn or 2 and just keep it going.

Now, we’ve got another deck coming that will do the same. Drop cards, give your hero attack for extremely cheap, draw your entire deck and just slam into the opponent.

It’s amazing how good your deck can be when you have access to every single card in your deck every single game. Drawing in this game = power. DH are practically immune to “bad draw”. It’s why they have so many great decks that are top tier.

I mean I dunno about Dispose of Evidence, but a windfury weapon in DH was never a joke. 1 mana windfury into Chaos Strike or any number of other attack cards

I feel like in general, value generation just hasn’t been appropriately costed across the board. It’s particularly bad in DH, though.

Runic adornment and Jotun are basically three auto include in pretty much every DH deck at this point. Even Big DH wants to play those three cards.

Runic adornment has an absurd amount of hits over misses in the DH discovery pool. That card will be meta till it rotates for sure.

Drawing cards and hitting face. Interesting /s
Next class.

When are they going to do something interesting with dh? Same trash since release. Go face, draw cards while going face, oh nothing costs mana. Lets go face and draw more cards while not spending mana. :face_exhaling:

Jotun, the Eternal certainly seems like a high roll nightmare. Playing this on curve may just win games. If it’s at the bottom of your deck, that’s a big sad.

Crystalline Statue seems rather meh. DH has better things to do imo.

Runic Adornment seems very powerful. Getting extra Relics or Unleash Fels seems pretty strong to me.

Argunite Golem is effectively a 2/5 for 3 that gets bigger whenever you draw cards. DH sure does like to draw cards. This might find its way into an Aggro DH at some point, but not sure it has a home right now.

Eredar Deceptor seems kind of slow, kind of underwhelming. Maybe some kind of board flood with Halvaria makes this playable, but I’m not sold on that.

Momentum seems decent. The anti-synergy with Glaivetar hurts the playability, but maybe the extra burst + mana cheat capability helps this find a home.

I have the picture asMomentum

Jotun, the Eternal looks stupid and powerful.

6/5 Star Power. Boring. Broken. Dumb. :japanese_ogre:


Crystalline Statue looks ok, but I would bet against it being meta.

3-4/5 Star Power.


Runic Adornment might actually be great.

These kind of effects usually suck, but this is the strongest looking one ever and DH has mad card draw now.

4-6/5 Star Power.


Argunite Golem looks ok, but probably isn’t worth it.

2-3/5 Star Power, probably a skip.


Erader Deceptor is interesting and I kind of like it, but I think it’s too hard to use in the early game.

Would be cool with stuff like Glide and a Better Version of Keep Reflex.

2/5 Star Power. 5/5 Potential.


Momentum is probably a 5/5 Star Power eventually. Glide in next Core?


Demon Hunter gets one of the strongest sets of the Expansion as usual. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
