It's a fun idea, but they've got to be revealing more big demons than that.
Yeah there isn’t a Malganis in standard yet lol, but I mean having 4 primes is decent right?
Sort of questioning the inclusion of the soul jailer and the scrap imp just because it messes up your prime and archwitch. (Maybe run the one that copies demons in your hand instead? Or am I just not seeing it?) Jaraxxus I think might still not be a great card in the deck tbh. You don't really wanna pull him with the Archwitch or with the Prime either. He's *okay* but you really want those dreadlords. And playing him leaves you really vulnerable to a lot of burst. Same with Sathrovar potentially too tbh.
You might even wanna run some plot twists for the synergy with Betrug and chances at Anansi Broodmothers and Soul Shards (if you want the healing).
Vector is a really cute tech.
One of Jaraxxus or Willow will probably be cut for the anti synergy. I think scrap imp is too good a standalone card to leave out and the same goes for the 1 drop. I do only have One of each so Its not that punishing from the willow or prime. Plot twist is a big no for this deck because it can just draw multiple soul fragments and ruin your activators. Valdris is something I will likely replace after seeing all the cards!
This card is big cringe. This will 100% be a tier 4 meme deck. Don't craft this. If you're a DH, just play tempo and win. If you're a warlock, just lose.
welcome to hearthpwn. all rank's opinions are welcome.... even bronze players.
This all fragment soul mechanic doesn't seems to be a game changer, unlike that spellburst thing
Control demonhunter is looking really sexy

Oh no......
First, -50 DKP because that punny name is terrible. But, card seems good. Similar to Blastmaster Boom this is the "payoff" for a new synergy. This is even more below rate by base - obviously a 5/5 for 7 is unplayable compared to a 7/7 for 7 which is also unplayable but closer to it. The real trick is, how good are the support cards for this? Much like good ol' Dr. 7 himself, I'd say you need to be able to get two 3/3s Reliably to make this "worth" the cost and probably want more like 3 or 4 Released Souls to compensate for the occasional game where this is a 5/5 vanilla. Fortunately, every single Soul Shard card produces two shards - which is a huge deal compared to Bomb cards that produce only one a piece. That means playing even a single Soul card is going to generate enough shards to get good value, and everything else you can cast is just gravy.
In Warlock This feels like it will find its real home, and the reason why is looking at all the supporting cards: currently in Standard, Warlock has no reliable early game boardwipe (they have to wait for Hellfire or play a heavy handed, minion-light deck with Dark Skies) and has no reliable 2 mana removal (they have Nether Breath but that card requires a dragon package). They also like a powerful stabilizing 5-drop outside of dedicated dragon decks again (with Crazed Netherwing). So right off the bat - Soul Shear, School Spirit, and Void Drinker form a great backbone that is reminiscent of classic powerhouse cards like Demonwrath, Darkbomb, Despicable Dreadlord, and Hooked Reaver. Since I think decks are going to naturally be interested in School Spirits and Soul Sheer, it isn't far off to add this as a payoff, and it is definitely worth testing if Spirit Jailer adds enough to the party and helps justify also having Void Drinker and maybe Shadowlight Scholar.
Demon Hunter: I'm less certain this is good - even current "Control" DHs top their curve at 6. There's less need for a card like Soul Shear since the deck already has access to cards like Twin Slice and Chaos Strike to pick off early minions and gain advantage; there's less need for a 1-drop like Jailer in a class with Battlefiend. Marrowslicer is a bit more interesting but DH doesn't hurt for weapons. I'd be surprised if this is good right away.
Why is this comment down voted so much? He's just stating his opinion that it's a decent card.
I suspect people come to Hearthpwn for posts like the above "C O N T R O L D E M O N H U N T E R" or "card is trash lul", and dislike walls of text that require reading. Thanks for asking though!
damm i like this expansion already !!!

Since Tempo DH will remain in their Face ways they would much rather have these Souls with Chaaaaarge.
But I guess they will take it anyway, since its just such an absurd Temposwing.
Warlock looks more intimidating than Demon Hunter with this new mechanic.
Say that again one week in with cards like Soulshard Lapidary sucking OUT the Soul of the Meta left and right.
I mean, 5 damage 5/5 existed previously and wasn't so crazy. DH is WAY slower in Soul Fragment generation. Warlock has perfect curve (1-2-3)
