Just dawned on me that I never tested Battlegrounds to see about the whole 4 choice thing and sure enough, I only have 2 choices, not 3. Guess that's a game mode that's just dead to me now.

Ugh, really? Yep, that's a killer. 3 would be fine. 2 is not.

On the subject of demon hunter, I played a bunch of it yesterday. The card draw is ridiculous, but that's just part of the classes identity. It burns through cards. And TBH, a lot of those cards are very low impact because they're so cheap. Against a decent control deck -- and I ran into a couple yesterday -- you lose to fatigue.

The question right now is what the best way to build a DH deck is...so that everyone else can decide what they need to counter. The strongest decks have early-game presence, but none of the token rush gimmickry. With the current meta, even Altruis doesn't always seem very good. He can lead to some highlight reel moments, but the rest of the time, you're just feeding him your entire hand to get maybe 5-6 damage. I'm not a big fan of Antaen, even though it does lead to big swings, because if you played any other 5 drop, you probably wouldn't need a swing because you'd still be ahead. And I have yet to land Priestess of Rage without her getting removed immediately, unless the game was already over.

Has anyone seen the "big" demon hunter package being run? I don't think anyone's even touching those cards right now, that I've seen. Regis put the 9/5 rush in his deck, but I didn't see anything unique on ladder.
