She looks like Aubrey Plaza. Maybe that's a reference, who knows!
god, I wish this thing was a dual-class with DH so that Big Demon Hunter was actually more than just a failed sales pitch.
a card with a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference lol
That's exactly what I came here to comment on.
My favourite card of set so far.
Seems like a more consistent DQ, the card is as good as the demons it summons so might receive big demon support, Big DemonLock is back?!
"Where's my pet?"
Why isn't this a dual classe card with DH? Big demon Hunter would love this card....
Anyway i see potential in a control warlock with 2 lifesteal taunt demon
This could potentially be quite good in handlock. The issue with some previous cards summoning stuff from your hand *or* deck, is that if the summon-target was in the other zone, the card in question lost a lot of power. Summoning one from your hand *and* deck gets around this - if you draw the desired demon before you play this, great. If you don't, also great.
Ideally it'll end up in a control warlock deck like handlock, and would want to include only a few expensive, high power demons to really get a swing out of its battlecry. Off the top of my head I can't think of what those demons are - but surely there are at least a few in standard that would be worthy. Perhaps that deathrattle demon that summons the lifelink minion?
Actually, just having a look, there aren't that many great expensive demons - perhaps the aforementioned one (Enhanced Dreadlord), alongside Fel Lord Betrug, and Aranasi Broodmother - not the best target, but you're likely including that in a control warlock deck anyway. If you make sure to always keep a demon in hand (and don't get so unlucky as to draw all 5 cards), this basically becomes 7/7 and at least two 4/6 taunts, for 9 mana. Not bad at all.
