We're shining the spotlight on Hearthstone's Demon Hunter class today and checking in on how they're doing so far in Scholomance Academy.
Statistics referenced in this post are from HSReplay.net over the past 7 days.
Best Craftable Demon Hunter Cards
Demon Hunters are in an interesting spot where they have a very powerful base set and still don't have a ton of cards that can be crafted with their introduction to the game coming only 5 months ago. These are the most popular Demon Hunter cards that are craftable and would make a great addition to your collection.
It's hard to play a game against a Demon Hunter without seeing Skull of Gul'dan (54.9% WR) and Marrowslicer (55.3% WR), making them must-crafts. The only Demon Hunter card that is used in more decks right now is Twin Slice which is free for logging in, so no need to worry about crafting. Marrowslicer's fantastic minion smackdown and potential large face damage also brings some much-needed healing to the table for the class which is why most decks are using it without going full into the Soul Fragment mechanic.
Although it isn't necessary to play with all the Soul Fragments, they are a ton of fun and it should be no surprise that Spirit Jailer (54.2% WR), Soul Shear (53.9% WR), and Shardshatter Mystic are being recommended as crafts. All of these beauties can be found in Kibler's Soul Burst deck down below.
A special shoutout to Demon Companion (56.4% WR) which although not a very popular card it Demon Hunter decks, coming in at only 41.7% of all decks, it has the highest deck winrate of all Demon Hunter cards. Worth the dust? Yep!
On the legendary side of things, Kayn Sunfury and Soulciologist Malicia remain safe crafts, though the former is much more popular to play with being included in 65.7% of decks. Speaking of decks, let's jump into that!

From a dust economy point of view, if you're missing commons and rares, you're better off opening more packs from those sets instead of crafting them. Quest gold alone lets you to open a pack every other day and it won't take many packs before you have all commons.
So far the Demon Hunter decks that are good are too Smorcy for my tastes, but I must say that the highlander deck listed here looks interesting.
That is a great point! Demon Hunter is such an awkward class to talk about with stuff like this because they simply don't have the larger card pool everyone else does and with them being so aggressive, all the good cards are always so cheap.
I don't mind aggressive; for example Highlander Hunter is a deck I like which is pretty aggressive, but it's not a deck that fizzles out once the early game is over. I think the issue with Demon Hunter is the last thing you mention: that the good cards are the cheap ones, while the more expensive cards are merely OK.
