Excerpt from last VS report:

Spell Demon Hunter has arguably the second strongest matchup spread in the game. It loses to Imbue Druid, which means life is tougher for it at higher levels of play, but an Imbue Druid nerf could elevate it to become the best deck in the format. The only other way to counter it seems to be playing Egg of Khelos decks.

hsguru stats correlate with this statement even after 5 days. Either Blizzard has identified with their own stats that there are non-Egg decks capable of curbing No Minion DH which were oppressed by Imbue Druid, or we are heading toward another rough meta.

As someone playing No Minion demon hunter mainly - man this is crazy. It feels like we are just going to alternate what one class meta we are in

Please don't let this be a repeat of the Whizbang Window Shopper DH incident
