The Darkness
As people have said, this card will be nerfed. You can coin this out on 4. Dealing with a 10/6 on turn 6/7 that just Reno the Relicologist'd the board is hard, especially when demon hunter has as much rush shit as they do. If you draw both these early and are able to get them out back to back. If the enemy does a board clear on 9/10 mana like Plague of Death, you can even play both of them on turn 10, then 2 turns later there's 20 damage plus 20 more on board.
Because spending turn 4 putting a card on layaway that doesn't do anything for two turns won't cause a massive tempo downswing for you. Depending on the deck this thing is facing, you will not want to give away your turn four to this card. Face hunter will turn you into mincemeat if you give them a free turn.
Demon Hunter doesn't necessarily give away the turn they play this because they have swarmy early minions, cheap weapons, and ways to both deal minion damage for 0 mana and ways to discount cards.
Don't underestimate DH tempo generation, remember that this is a new class. You can't think just of this like a rogue daggering up. DH can have very explosive starts off of just one or two cards. Think of old school tempo mage in the days of unnerfed mana wyrm and flamewaker.
it targets ALL enemies so it hits face too so not as strong as reno aside from the 10/6 body
We're... gonna be rich?
The effect and statline are quite strong, but your opponent knows it's coming and 10x1 damage that can hit face is like Knife Juggler throwing 10 knifes which can have some horrible RNG or can be abused by the opponent with cards like Armorsmith plus the thing that people are bringing up that in general going turn 5 nothing in constructed standard is the kinda stuff that loses you the game. in Arena this can be hella op though.
Overall: I predict this card will hardly see play in constructed, BUT without knowing how fast the meta will be etc. it could be playable and can be a sleeper op card in my books, but the more that i think about it, it feels worse.
Well that's not true. You basically put 5 mana doomsayer that only affects enemy minions. Sure enemy can flood the board but this board will be killed in two turns. And if enemy don't put minions on the board then you'll get 10/5 minion on free board.
Some shown cards are from classic set. This is 6th DH's card. You have 5 clasic neutrals per class and 3 per expansions. We are still waiting for 8th DH rare.
dormans are just useless, if you do nothing in turn 5 even a midrange deck will wipe you out
is this the 4th demon hunter's expansion rare or am i missing something ?
Well, yeah... Normal classes will get 10 new cards, 2 legends, 2 epics, 3 rares and 3 commons as always (probably) and Demon Hunter should get 15 cards instead.
oh k, so i miss this ahah
Broken lol
what is that Warlock card?
We don't know yet.
DemonHunter card
Playing 5 mana do nothing justifies this effect and stats. Strong card.
Seems is the keyword here. Pay 5 mana on curve to do nothing is an investment you need to be able to make.
What's the Warlock minion? Sizeable lifesteal...
