 I don't understand. This is the DH forum. Aggro DH is favoured vs priest. Aggro DH is favoured vs EVERY class except enrage/egg warrior. It also has an even matchup with face hunter. Other than that it beats everything in the meta including priest.

 Post nerfs? Not really, I feel like some people (including meta snapshots) blindly echo opinions pre nerf.

What nerfs did was making DH match-ups even. Yes, you can win vs Priest. But Priest can blow up your entire field turn 3 and you have not enough damage output to finish the game anymore. After they deal with initial aggression they can pretty much outheal you. Also people live under the impression that DH has endless card draw... Good luck not having your Skull on 6 - you simply won't draw enough damage.

DH used to have many good match-ups and very few bad. Now it still has few bad, but its good ones went down closer to 50%. Also you no longer have an almost auto-win play, which was Felscreamer on 4 into Priestess on 5. Basically DH went from an oppressive class to a well-rounded one (few bad match-ups, but also very few auto-wins). 

 No it is still favoured POST NERFS, play the game you will know.

 Guess what - I do! And I had DHs concede on me after turn 3/4 Breath/Holy Nova. Stats give DH mere 52% - the match-up is as close to even as it gets, even considering pure stats from hsreplay can be misleading. Also the only thing I said is that the match-up can go either way, not that DH is unfavoured.
