This new version is much stronger post-nerf and I think it is also a good bit more fun to play. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I have! Thank you for the overwhelming support on this 1st version. You guys made it one of the top 10 most popular decks in the history of Hearthpwn!
This is a Demon Hunter Highlander list which utilizes some interesting cards, and has an 85% WR (25-5) over the first 30 games played with it. Below is a full guide to the deck explaining how to play it, match-ups, and mulligan options. I am also a streamer and legend level player, check out my stream if you enjoy watching hearthstone players :) (https://www.twitch.tv/supersenter).
Deck Overview:
This deck really has no bad match-ups. See the stats below:
Demon Hunter: 7-4 (60% WR)
Every Other Class: 18-1 (93% WR)
This is meant to be played as an aggressive tempo deck, so that means going face most of the time, but also getting board clears when needed. The deck is a little challenging to play, but for the most part the cards in Demon hunter are just so powerful that they win you the game. I have a few interesting options in this deck, which I will explain at the bottom. The next section will be the mulligan/match-up guide.
Mulligan Guide:
In almost every match-up you are looking for early game threats to get out to a fast start.
Always Keep: Battlefiend, Furious Felfin, Netherwalker, Sightless Watcher, Umberwing, Rustworn Initiate, Aldrachi Warblades, Satyr Overseer
Sometimes Keep: Crimson Sigil Runner (If left-most card), Ur’zul Horror (If no other 1 or 2 drops), Zephrys (Against Druid & Priest), Eye Beam (If left-most card), Skull of Guldan (If left-most card)
Demon Hunter: This is your worst match-up, simply because Demon Hunter is so strong. Your main goal here is figure out what type of Demon Hunter deck they are playing, and counter it as fast as possible. You want to play early game threats to gain board control, or have early game spells to clear their board. Lifesteal is crucial against Demon Hunter because of how much damage they put forth. You will win or lose these games based on who plays Imprisoned Antaen & Priestess of Fury better.
Warrior: I think this match-up will be tough because of the armor gain that warrior has. Demon Hunter kills most classes very quickly through board swarming, weapons, and obviously chip damage. Warrior is one of the only classes that has many board clears and “healing” (armor). Your goal in this match-up should be to create early game pressure, but don’t overextend. Then you will finish them off with your deathrattle minions or your big demons.
Priest: See Warrior guide. Other notes: Keep silence for their new 1 mana legendary, or for their lifesteal handbuff card. Disguised Wanderer is very dangerous to play because they could steal it and get the deathrattle.
Druid: Embiggen Druid is a very tough match-up due to the taunts and the stats. Somehow I seem to barely win my games against them, but it’s always very close. You always want silence and Zephyrs to counter their early big minions. Other than that, your best chance is winning fast, and having a big Kayn play to get past their taunts.
Other: I have yet to lose a game against any other class, so it’s hard to say what not to do. The main strategy is to get board control early, and then win with your big demons.
Card Choices:
Most cards in this deck are very obvious, they’re just super strong Demon Hunter or Highlander cards, so I won't explain those.I’ve created this highlander deck to be a little more aggro than normal, so that is the reason behind some of my choices.
Twin Slice: I’ve seen lists that don’t run this, but I feel that it is combos with so many cards and can create outrageous early game plays. One of the stronger cards in the deck honestly.
Consume Magic: Great card draw about 50% of the time, and is super strong in some of your weaker match-ups. It’s your best card against Priest and Druid, and can silence Priestess of Fury.
Netherwalker: Gives you a 2nd Priestess or Antaen most of the time!
Rustsworn Initiate: This card is HEAVILY underrated… It is a 2 mana 3/3 across 2 bodies, has spell damage +1, and the second half is a demon.
Altruis the Outcast: So much stronger than I expected, one of the best cards in the deck. It’s on average a 3 mana 3/2 that deals 2 damage to all enemies and must be cleared ASAP.
Disguised Wanderer: One of my favorite cards of the set. Every streamer I saw gave this 1 star, but I think it will show up in many decks, aggro, deathrattle, and tempo decks. It’s almost like a 3/3 permanent stealth because no one wants to clear it. When they do clear, they’re either using 2 cards to clear 1 guy, or using a clear card and 2 mana on a hero power. Finally, if the 9/1 ever lives then it’s basically instant win. This card has felt very strong overall.
Faceless Corrupter: Obviously a super strong card. It’s usually a 5 mana 8/5 and clears a minion.
Biatch noob deck, biatch noob players. GG no skill :) feed B. wallets and win. Everyone who is playing this deck is noskill -EVERYONE. Good luck noobs...but wait - you dont need it. You play turbo imba noob demon hunter ^^. Enojoy your nobrain win. HAAHAHAAAAAH!!!
Welcome to Hearthstone, brother. If you want to compete in legend, you need the cards.
The case is that you are not compete, you are just noob who throws cards. Thats how your game looks. You use IQ of 7 years old kiddo. Nothing else. Game is bad designed, bad balance, stupid ideas and this demon hunter...what dumb should anyone be to play this class.
Welcome to the real world, brother. People will be better than you at things. Its your job to practice =)
LOL -what a sweet bullshit^^ People will be better than me due to someone decided like that. AHAHAAHAHHA Omg you are showing who is playing this game ^^ Practice what? Playing against unbalanced broken cards? Until I do the same? Internet and games are not a real world ^^ where do you live? In your room?
Hey, I tried the deck after nerfs so if you want to see how it performed you can check the video bellow :) Seems pretty good to me still.
"seems pretty good to me" says while the decktracker shows score 0-2 vs other DHs
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza ×
Kayn Sunfury × 1
Maiev Shadowsong × 1
Zephrys the Great × 1
how i can replace this cards?
If you don't have Dragonqueen Alexstrasza nor Zephrys the Great why would you play a Highlander list? Maiev Shadowsong could probably be replaced by Frozen Shadoweaver.
If you don't have those cards, it will make the deck a lot worse no matter what and I suggest you check out this deck instead.
You can replace them with playing another deck.
Well, after many games... I can say that this deck gets destroyed by almost everything. You run out of resources pretty quick, and by the time you get out your big minions it is already too late. no way of stealing cards, or generate any kind of presence on board. I wouldnt recomend it
I just hit legend with this Demon Hunter deck:
Congrats man!!! I know a lot of people that have hit legend with this build!
Thanks a lot! Which deck are you using?
Which region are you in? I also hit legend tonight, but my rank is way-way lower xD
I am playing on EU. I already hit Legend a couple of days ago, so it makes sense that there are more players in this league by now.
I'm not having much success with this deck. Mainly with the class matchups you conveniently left out in your guide mage, spell druid, warlock, face hunter) which, because of the popularity of DH, now are the only classes you'll encounter
None of those decks were on the ladder when I was piloting this deck on day 1 though, so it was a very different meta. I spent the last couple days reworking the deck though, and I've settled on a new version which runs much better in the current meta.
