Support for the Big Demon Hunter deck that still doesn't really work. And this is bad to pull from Proving Grounds, and can't be included if you're using Vanndar Stormpike
Remember when 4/5 yeti was OP? Now this card makes it a joke.
When I used to play dragon decks I figured I needed 7 dragons in order to make sure I could activate my dragon synergies.
Does big demon want to run at least 7 demons that cost 5 or more? Maybe with DH's draw you only need like 4 or 5 though. My Priest decks didn't draw well.
Honestly, double Illidari Inquisitor is probably all you need. DH has the best/most card draw in the game (Spectral Sight, Need for Greed, Acrobatics, Skull of Gul'dan, etc.). You have so many opportunities to draw them out early and get value from Warden. There's also multiple forms of tutors available (Pokelt, Taelen) and deck manipulation with Sphere of Sapience.
My question is moreso is: is a vanilla 4 mana 3/8 with Taunt good? We've had several iterations in the past (Hecklebot & Conjured Mirage) and none have been amazing so I'm not too sold on this one
Assuming we get more big Demons for DH then this is interfering with Vanndar Stormpike.
If the payoff of the assumed new big Demons isn't that great then Warden of Chains would be better than Vanndar Stormpike
Illidari Inquisitor says Hi
It depends more on:
1. how many other good less than 4 cost minions that deck want to run, as of now there are a lot of different 1-4 cards that a slow deck like big demons DH would want, including this new guy, but also...
2. How aggro centric the meta is. A card like this and most other 1-4 drops are only important and relevant mainly for aggro games. So if there's a lot of aggro it makes sense to run this guy along the other cheap cards, if not then again, Vanndar is better.
It's a 4 mana 3/8 with taunt.
Even if it's not a big demons deck, lots of decks were still running Illidari Inquisitor anyway, so... I could see this fitting in.
Vanndar murdered this card in its crib.
Well Vanndar is auto include in Big Demons, so this won't see play then
Vanndar isn't auto-include. Vanndars biggest weakness is that he is like Keleseth a high Variance win card with no guarantees. Vanndar only works if you play him on 4. If you don't you lose SOOOO much tempo that your deck can't come back from. This DH card is an alternative to Big Demon without the Hight Variance of Vanndar.
Nice! They found the sweet spot at 4 so you cant play this and Vanndar in the same deck :) .
Big demons DH needs better support, this is not what they’re asking
