General strategy
Aggro Demon Hunter is a pretty simple deck to play - just stay on curve and go face, mostly. Of course, there’s a bit more to it though.
Early game:You have a whole lot of 1-drops to choose from. If you’re going second, you might have the Coin which makes yourIntrepid Initiates extremely powerful. In fact,Intrepid Initiateinto Coin intoBeaming Sidekickis such a ridiculous turn 1 that you’ll end up with a 3/4 and 1/2 on board immediately, which can put you right on the front foot extremely fast.
That’s not all though. All your early minions are great shouts.Blazing Battlemageis perfect in a lot of situations, and sometimes you can just whack out a cheekyBattlefiendand get to buffing it with your Hero Power. Basically, at this point in the game just stay on curve and go face, weaving in Hero Powers whenever you can.
Late game:You should be close to victory, but if not there are always options. Dreadlord’sBiteis a 3-attack weapon that’ll often deal 1 to all enemies (including face) because of its Outcast effect, andStiltstepperoffers +4 Attack to your Hero if you have mana to spare to play the card it draws. This is often enough to finish the enemy, especially if you’ve been going face the entire time.

Aggro Demon Hunter tips, combos and synergies
Keep an eye out for these cards and synergies when playing Aggro Demon Hunter.
-Intrepid Initiategains +2 Attack as soon as you cast a spell while it’s on board, making it essentially a 1 mana 3/2 if you have the Coin. There are alternative cheap spell options though -Mana Burncan be a great disruption andDemon Companiondoubles as board presence.
-Guardian Augmerchantcan be used to give your minions Divine Shield, but don’t forget you can also ping enemies and deal a bit of damage to finish them off. Just make sure you do finish them, or you’ll give them Divine Shield!
-Mana Burnacts like the ShamanOverloadmechanic. It’s pretty simple - your enemy won’t be able to use 2 mana on the following turn, meaning if they were planning on clearing you off withSoul MirrororBrawlto survive, they might no longer be able to.
-Acrobaticsis a great catch-up card. If you can play both draws, which you’ll often be able to do since most of your deck costs 1 mana, it amounts to a 3 mana draw 4 cards. Absolutely ludicrous value.
-Guardian Augmerchantcan be used on a friendlyBonechewer Brawlerto end up with a 4/2 with Taunt and Divine Shield - very irritating for an opponent to remove at the early stages of a game. It’s also handy to giveBattlefienda Divine Shield, as that’ll make it extremely irritating to kill as it continues to grow larger and stronger.
