I would rather drop either one copy of Defile or "Health" Drink. Yes, they are good board control tools, but imo, one copy of either is enough to survive against most decks in the current meta anyway.
I've noticed you mentioned it in the description already. I get your point, but it's still worth running in my opinion. The meta is full of control decks currently and as I said, it makes those matchups much easier. It's true, that it's worthless against aggro though.
Looks very similar to the deck I'm currently playing, although I'd reccomend changing something for the Wheel of DEATH!!!. Could be on the sideboard, if you're not sure you want it, but it really makes most control matchups almost an autowin. In short, you play Wheel of DEATH!!! first, then Kil'jaeden. All you have to do is survive for 5 more rounds and enjoy an easy win. Make sure to have a good hand before playing Wheel of DEATH!!! though, preferably with lots of board clear.
Nah, that might be one of the most absurd things I've seen on this forum. Leroy Jenkins is one of the most iconic, if not THE most iconic card in hearthstone's history. Not bringing him back for HS's anniversary would be like having a Mortal Kombat game without Scorpion and Sub-Zero, or a Rambo movie without Rambo.
Btw, how on earth would a FREE card make Blizzard "soak up the $"?
I had this happen to me quite some time ago. Apparently it has something to do with the deckstring. Try remaking the deck manually (not copying), that should help, at least if that's the same issue I encountered.
What's up with Blizzard bots though? Why do they exist? And what kind of decks do they run usually?
Blizzard bots exit to fill the queue in either very low mmr or unpopular gamemodes - I didn't see any in twist so far, but casual was filled with bots. They play basic ladder decks. As far as I'm concerned, it's usually different variations of Death Knight with mostly core cards.
It's also noteworthy, that there are significantly more bots on American servers, which I don't know the reason for.
Yeah, you're right. I posted this deck shortly after Fall of Ulduar had come out and the meta shifted quite rapidly since then. I had a lot of success with this, because the most popular archetypes at that time were Armor Warrior and different variations of Ramp Druid. Now, it's mostly just very fast decks like Aggro Paladin or Secret Hunter, so this one's not that good anymore.
I completely agree with you. Demon Hunter used to be interesting at first, but after a few expansions Blizzard clearly lost any idea what to do with the class. When Demon Hunter was first introduced it had 3 main archetypes: Tempo/Face (which turned out to be the most dominant deck during Ashes of Outland), Token and Big Demons. Scholomance Academy added Soul Shards into the mix, but overall managed to keep Demon Hunter's class identity untouched. Everything changed during Darkmoon Faire. While the majority of cards introduced with that expansion were meant for the Aggro and Token archetypes, there was one card, that became a main reason for the rise of DH's class identity crisis - Il'gynoth. I actually have no idea, who thought that a card with such an effect would fit Demon Hunter, but nevertheless, it became quite popular. During United in Stormwind Il'gynoth was such a powerful combo enabler, that it had to be massively nerfed. However, it seems that Blizzard actually liked Il'gynoth's design and therefore continued adding more and more weird combo cards for Demon Hunter. Now, DH is officially deprived of the class's initial identity and consists of weird combo archetypes, that almost never work. Good job Blizzard.
It's also interesting, that the botting seems to occur only on the American server. I don't know much about Asia, but thre are definitely very few bots on Europe. I don't want to sound racist or whatever, but maybe those bots are products of something like those Indian scam call centers? I can definitely imagine a bunch of people working together and sustaining thousands of bots just to make them level up and sell the accounts later on eBay.
Thanks for commenting, I'm glad that you like the deck!
As for Kryxis, he's not a core card by any means, I'd personally replace him with either a second copy of Weight of the World or Kayn Sunfury. The latter is a pretty forgotten card, but can really help against an opponent with lots of taunt minions in their deck.

I honestly don't get why people are so upset by bots. It's just a free win in most cases.

You do realise, it's how the card is supposed to work, right?

I'm using a slightly modified version of this deck. It works really well.

Can some mod please close this thread? It's just being "necromanced" and causing confusion.
