Note that if the early tempo of Demon Hunter is nerfed enough, their big minions like Imprisoned Antaen will be more difficult to be played, which makes nerfs toward them less necessary.

 Jesus Christ, you're taking the leaves out of the WOTC balancing book. And Magic the Gathering is fucking terrible at balancing cards, even for Standard. This screams hurr durr I want to play brainless Face Hunter and Pirate Warrior again hurr durr.

The only reasonable nerf I see is to Eye Beam. The other nerf ideas are absolute ass.

I was around for Shamanstone, so I can tell you right now that Battlefiend idea you have is a huge mistake, since it will be a Small Time Buccaneer with a permanent buff. 1 mana 1/1 is way more reasonable.

Skull of Guldan is more than likely going to get a nerf to 6 mana.

The Aldrachi Warblades are fine as is, since there are plenty of other 3 cost 2/3 weapons or 3 cost 3/2 weapons.

 

 100% wrong about blades. Almost always a 3/3 weapon (if not higher on damage) 

DH feels as a weird choice... maybe monk was a better option idk

Prediction: Antaen will be nerfed to a 4 mana 7/7 and Skull of Gul'dan a 5 mana 5/5 minion with battlecry "Draw 3 cards" and outcast "They cost 3 less".

Problem solved

Demon Hunter as a class is fine to me as well. It's JUST Imprisoned Antean that needs a nerd in my opinion. The rest I can give or take. All I have been seeing in ladder is Illidan and I have been beating a fair amount of them. The key is to outlast their resources. 

 After day 1 disapointment, managed to get some sucessful results with token druid this afternoon (6/2).

Controlled the first turns, kept board advantage and overwelmed them with tokens.

1 of those matches was particularlly absurd: Turn 8 i have letal on board with 15 health. My opponent drew 8 cards and hit me for 16. Ok cool, I guess I'll just die. 

 

That's more of a problem with Kaelthelas than with Demon Hunter in my opinion. I do think Kaelthelas should be nerfed. It's sad because it's a cool effect but the OTK demon hunter is insane and may end up being the best deck of the expansion when people learn how to play it properly and it's pretty broken in wild with Druid.

My bad, just forgot to mention: no Kael on board. Just a Mistress of Pain and Battlefiend.

Anyway, awaiting the nerfs

If DH was fine they woudn't make changes so fast

 It clearly needs some work op is just saying they don't need to burn the entire class down and start again from the ashes. I agree that some of the more powerful cards just need some adjustment. Blizzard has a tendency to go way overboard when nerfing classes - like turning Galakrond shaman from the most overpowered deck in 2 years to unplayable garbage. I'd rather they just adjust things slightly and keep demon hunter a strong option.

 Yeah, I got OP's point. The first half of the tittle is just misleading and could be better reprhased.

Other than that, i don't want DH to be nerfed to the ground.

Nerfs incoming in a week or two, no doubt about it.

The meta is shaping solely to counter DH, feels wrong enough. Too much card draw, there is no punishment to play all your cards recklessly once you top deck your outcasts.
Minions like Battlefiend, Imprisioned Antaen, Priestess of Fury, Glavebound Adept and Altruis the Outcast are too overtuned. Spells like Skull of Gul'dan are also too overtuned, not to start about Aldrachi Warblades cost or durability.

Nerfs incoming in a week or two, even if other classes manage to rise against DH, no doubt.
