You do realize that the DH hero power now costs 1 right? It's not passive anymore. Slows down the tempo alot.
At least we can now stop with the Tiller combo hysterics...
(can still pull off the combo with Neferset Thrasher and Treachery though.)
My Hysteria Treachery Neferset Thrasher build survives!
not sure if the change to deathrattle hunter hero power is going to do enough.
Can you? I know that you can give and inmune minion to your enemy with Treachery, but can you then target Hysteria on and enemy inmune minion?
now that i think, is it possible to target an enemy inmune character?
Nope! :)

I never used immunity, I would double buff the Thrasher with Powr Overwhelming and then treated very to the other side, THEN play rafaams scheme to fill my board before hitting the hysteria
Neferset treachery here we come
