Tempo Demon Hunter is aHearthstonedeck that’s been way too powerful early on in Ashes ofOutland. It was so strong, in fact, that the dev team have nerfed its cards multiple times. Regardless, this version of Tempo Demon Hunter still stands strong as a solid deck to climb the ladder, so give it a go if you think you’re hard enough.
Of course, once the Scholomance Academy meta develops, as will this deck. We’ll be keeping you updated on all this info, and will continue to do so once the deck hits the metagame.

General strategy
Tempo Demon Hunter was hit with a hell of a lot of nerfs over the course of Ashes of Outland. It’s still a pretty damn strong one though.
Early game:It’s an aggressive deck. You’re a Demon Hunter. You want to be getting stats on board as early as possible and whacking your enemy’s face. A minion likeBattlefiendis a great turn 1 play, as it synergises with the class’ Hero Power DemonClaws. DemonClaws is easy to slot into turns too, since it’s only 1 mana. Remember all thoseGenn Greymanedecks plaguing the meta in the Witchwood?CrimsonSigilRunneris another excellent tempo play, reminiscent ofKobold Librarianas a 1 drop that can draw a card.
Twin Sliceis 1 mana for 2 attack for your Hero, but you might want to save them for different turns so you get multiple activations on minions likeSatyr OverseerandBattlefiend. Damage is always good though, so hit face as much as you can.
Other closing plays includeGlaivebound Adept, who can hit the enemy face for 4 damage after your Hero attacks, andMetamorphosis, which deals a total of 10 damage over the course of a couple turns. Hopefully with all these done, you’ve managed to finish your opponent.

Tempo Demon Hunter tips, combos and synergies
Here’s a few combos and interactions to look out for with Tempo Demon Hunter. Of course, once we’ve seen the deck played a bit more, we’ll keep you updated.
-Metamorphosisswaps your Hero Power to ‘Deal 4 Damage’. However, you can use your original DemonClaws Hero Power on the same turn if you have the mana, meaning you can technically sneak in a use of both abilities in a single turn. This also takes effect the opposite way after the second use of the 4 damage Hero Power, so count for lethal carefully - you’ve got one more damage than you think.
-Glaivebound Adeptonly deals 4 damage if your Hero has attacked on the same turn - look out for the yellow border around the card in hand to make sure the Battlecry will go off.
-Kayn Sunfuryacts as a brilliant finisher against control decks who think they’ve turned the corner. It can get 3 damage past Taunts with itsCharge, but also lets all your other minions and Hero go face.
Illidari Felbladeis a fantastic card for most points in the game, especially if you activate its Outcast ability. This basically lets you clear an enemy threat for free, and leave an undamaged 5/3 on board ready to go face next turn.
-Blade Dancecan clear the enemy’s board when they’re looking to pull off some value trades. The synergies with your Hero Power are clear to see, butTwin Slice,Chaos Strike, andUmberwingcan’t be forgotten.
