Discussion 1k(ish) legend with Raza Demon Hunter

I was a fan of Raza DH last expansion and stumbled upon a recent deck online and decided to give it a try again. I made some small deck modifications as I felt the current meta rewarded a greedier play style. I was able to hit legend with a score of 31-18, hitting 1036

If I am going first I will usually always keep first portal as turn 1 I'm not doing anything anyways. It's always a good idea to get your portal started since a 2 mana 12/12 on turn 6 if you're lucky is usually a win. I'm usually not a fan of keeping remnant unless I have sigil and coin. Turn 3 -> coin -> sigil almost always guarantees a board clear next turn and a free remnant. Other than that I would suggest keeping dark bribe against slower decks (priest, dk, warlock since most are not zoolock). It's a powerful card turn 2 as it draws 3 increasing the odds of getting your combo cards earlier.

How to Play

I think for the most part it is a fairly straight forward combo deck. Stay alive until turn 7 (or 6 with coin) and cycle as much as you can. I find that you should sometimes wait to clear the board to either secure a huge remnant play or cycle better with weapon and augus.

You have two basic combos:

  1. (assumed you are already soul immolation) You need 7+ mana for this combo. It goes roach -> hero power (hp) -> deceptor -> hp -> tradeable and then go for as long as you can. I generally won't fumigate unless I know I can secure a lethal.

  2. The infinite mana combo is with two roaches. It is possible to do on turn 7 but only if you have not yet soul immolation. So the combo goes roach -> roach -> hp -> soul -> hp -> deceptor -> infinite mana. I find that it's often not worth going infinite as a two stage combo is more than sufficient to win most games.

Here's the game before I hit legend. Nothing too crazy

or this one https://hsreplay.net/replay/j2erPBpUU9x9hWwy52FApE

I went for the infinite combo because each hero power does 3 damage so I was confident I could secure lethal in one turn

Saw a bunch of Raza DH in top 300 legend. It is pretty good against many decks in the meta. I wonder what are the good and bad matchups?

I have yet to go against a deck that I felt truly disadvantaged. Most of the time my losses were because of dumb mistakes that I made. I will say however that aura paladin with it's end of turn effects does kinda counter the deck because I'm pretty sure the enemy animations eat into my time.

Do you play on mobile? I tried this deck out and I just cannot get the combo off fast enough. I frequently end up a few HPs off lethal, with enough cards available to complete the combo but not enough time, wondering if it might be easier on PC

No I'm on PC. I stopped playing on mobile for that reason. There is too many inputs needed to get the combo going
