This deck is solid. Had a lot of fun with it. Great combo with Far Watch Post and Glide, probably even better since the latest nerfs. I am at 71% win rate after 58 games.

Gets wrecked by aggro. Even vs the expert most practice bots i lost to hunter and mage once (granted bad draws), definitely better vs control but if it isn't control then seems like loss. Liked the other version a lot more but kind of like you said, rock paper scissors

Yeah I went to this version because it seems legend is a lot of combo / control right now, which the other version suffers against :)

Do you still use the towers post nerf?

Yes! Although I am still working on this deck and making other changes :)

is there a replacement for blackthorn?

You can run the deck without him, but if you are facing meta decks you are gonna miss him a lot he is just the strongest play, if you are against mostly control decks you can try running the 7 cost watchpost legendary instead :)

What about piloted shredders? Or maybe a reno version?

If this deck ever takes a more tempo approach I might look at shredder, but for now I want more high impact deathrattles - and a reno version is something I take a look at every now and then, as demon hunter gets more and more cards a reno version becomes more likely to be on par or better than this one :)

I put in Razorfen Beastmasters and Shredders and it works awesome. Also added Loatheb and Zola and Lorewalker Cho is doing work here, because I dont play many spells. Also I added Zai, the incredible for the spice :D

Deck gets destroyed by aggro decks. Winless so far.

Play the other version if you are facing more aggro, this version is geared to beat combo and control decks :)
