Fury replaces Twin Slice for reach and Bladed Lady activation. The nerf to Mystic has also significantly weakened the card, and it might be better to run a package of Sigil of Flame and Immolation Aura for AOE. The upside of cutting into the fragment package is making our Skull of Gul’dan stronger, and their only purpose in the deck is to activate Lapidary. This Soul DH build attempts to take advantage of new cards to reduce fragment production. It can boost the deck’s defensive capabilities and provide redundancy for Artificers when you’re looking to clear the board with Immolation Aura or use combo pieces for survival, but it also increases the OTK potential of a Felscream Blast. Talented Arcanist might also be a good fit. When Lifesteal Demon Hunter gets to cast Skull on an empty board, it’s doing very well. You can preemptively play this in the mid-game to prevent an expected turn from the opponent (such as a Glowfly Swarm) and to set up Skull of Gul’dan. Not only does it remove an opponent’s early board, but it also prevents them from developing for an entire turn, which could cripple their chances of killing the Demon Hunter in time. Sigil of Flame is the perfect stalling card for the deck. The deck also got two potentially interesting additions to consider. Lifesteal Demon Hunter sees nearly its entire shell stay intact for the next year, and decks that go into rotation without losing any of their key cards while seeing the rest of format grow weaker usually have better chance of success. Kazakus has multiple options to further an aggressive strategy in dramatic fashion. Then we have Kazakus, which could be very common in aggressive decks since their mana curve tends to be low and they are less likely to be heavily reliant on 4-drops to function. Gan’arg Glaivesmith works well with Illidari Studies and offers more reach alongside Stiltstepper. Kor’vas is a solid 2-drop that can scale later in the game. Oasis Thrasher is a great aggressive 2-drop that could encourage the return of the Brawler/Augmerchant package. Aggro Demon Hunter is getting a few new cards from both the Barrens set and its Core set that could make an impact. We may not have much faith in Deathrattle Demon Hunter, but other Demon Hunter decks look fine. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, it’s time to look at some gargantuan decks. Wait at least a few days to see what strategies end up being strong and fun before making a significant commitment. If you have a limited collection, we highly recommend that you DO NOT make big crafting investments on any theory-crafted deck. These decks aren’t based off whatever’s been done in the early access streams either, since we don’t watch them! Remember that while we have extensively worked to produce the featured decks, they are still untested, and nothing can replace the post-launch refinement that is backed up by real-time game experience and data. Sometimes, with big patches, the plug-in deactivates inadvertently. We remind our existing plug-in contributors to check on their plugin and make sure that it is still active. We appreciate and thank all our contributors for keeping this project going. Installing the plugin is very easy and will only take a couple of minutes of your time. Alternatively, you can contribute data through our Hearthstone Deck Tracker plugin. This can be done using Firestone, which provides us with all its user data (with an option to opt out). Once again, we remind you that you can help us perform our analysis by contributing your Hearthstone game data. We will provide an update in such a case on our Twitter. Our first Data Reaper Report for Forged in the Barrens is scheduled for Thursday, April 8th! We will note that should there be balance changes within the first few days of the expansion, the Data Reaper Report could be delayed. After completing the comprehensive Forged in the Barrens preview article, it’s time for theory-crafting! We encourage you to read the card preview as it is likely to shed light on many of our decisions regarding deck building.
