So after getting the new Hemet I was thinking about some deck types that could work with him. There was the idea of just using him to weed out low cost cards you don't want to draw late game, but I had a different idea.
You could use him in a combo deck where all the pieces costed more than 3 mana... or at least most of them. So you use the cheap cards to get board control and stall for a bit while gathering a combo piece that may cost less than 1 mana. Hemet, and then all the cards left are just combo pieces.
Tried it out a little with a deck I liked to call Cruel Hemet using Cruel Dinomancers, Spirit Singer Umbra, Hemet, and Soulfire. combo is 100% doable turn 10 if you go second, and the only card you have to find is soulfire which isn't hard by turn 6. Anyone else have any interesting combo ideas you could do with this?
Other ideas include playing Hemet after you complete the Hunter Quest but before you play Queen Carnassa and then topdecking Tundra Rhino for 15 charging 3/2s, or Jade Druid so you can use Hemet to skip to the point in the game where all you're drawing are Jade Idols, or Quest Mage so you can get rid of cards in your deck that aren't Alexstrasza or Arcane Giants.
The possibilities are endless, and I'm sure more is to come when streamers and other good players start to experiment more with him.
