Haussenfuss posted a message on The worst way to nerf hunter?!?Posted in: HunterHSReplays posts a list of the 100 most-played cards in Standard - DK Rexxar currently has the third-worst played win-rate of those hundred cards, so I suspect that a nerf is unnecessary. By the data, playing DK Rexxar in any Hunter build aside from Cube Hunter is as bad as playing Genn Greymane in an Even deck, or Baku the Mooneater in an Odd deck - playing any of those three cards tanks the win-rate of their respective decks by 12%-13%.
It's worth recalling that DK Rexxar was considered a meme card prior to the K&C nerfs. When Cubelock was hit, it opened the door for the next-slowest Cube deck, and Cube Hunter has been a consistent Tier 1.5 deck for the past year. The deck plays DK Rexxar, because unlike every other Hunter deck in the history of the game, it is designed to play into the late game - it therefore has the time to actually leverage the value of all its Zombeasts, and attempt to earn back the opportunity cost of actually playing him. DK Rexxar is too expensive for any fast Hunter build - the first Zombeast is costed at an 8-mana premium, and it often takes three full turns before the first Zombeast can actually attack (play DK, play a Zombeast, attack with it.) Hence, unplayable in any deck which is meant to win the game by turn eight - in other words, just about every other Hunter deck on ladder.
In Cube Hunter, Rexxar's played win-rate is even. By comparison, the best-performing DK in the game is currently Bloodreaver Gul'dan - his played win-rate is +13%. It's worth noticing that Cube Hunter plays lots of late-game cards - DK Rexxar never "solos" a control deck, but supplements an already powerful late-game package which altogether punishes slow control decks with accumulated value over multiple late-game turns.
As it happens, the most-popular build of Midrange Hunter on HSReplays has cut DK Rexxar altogether. Not surprisingly, the overall win-rate of that particular build is 2% better than the next most-popular build which continues to run the DK.
