Demon Hunter Theorycrafting - Potential Decks and Strategies for the New Class

With Demon Hunter coming to Hearthstone on April 7th, just about everyone is going to be interested to play the new class (myself included). The class looks to contain many elements that are most closely related to Rogue, complete with a hero power that does damage at the same rate of mana, while also containing elements of Warlock themes, including Demons, sacrificing for power, and board-clearing abilities.

This is the first time something this big has hit Hearthstone, so predicting how good the class will be, what its major decks will look like, and how it will fit into the post-rotation meta will be nearly impossible. But that’s the beauty of it: we have a whole new world to discover and, for that purpose, I will try to be your Aladdin for getting those gears turning.

Here you will find five different potential Demon Hunter decks, building around what seem to be the major themes of the class. Some look more promising than others, and all will no doubt require excessive amounts of polishing before they reach a finalized list. However, before you can refine decks, you need to figure out where the strongest sources of power reside. Hopefully these can serve as a useful guide for thinking about what you want to build your decks around.

(Editor's note: We're aware that deck headers display Hunter and not Demon Hunter, we'll be working on a fix soon)
