However, since the most powerful card here is easily the new 8 mana 8/8 rush, maybe DH starts playing for longer games and then tags you in the face for 9 after rushing into your taunt.

Eh, I think that card is overhyped.

DH has had a lot of big minions that just ended up doing nothing, including Ancient Void Hound and Coilfang Warlord.

Yeah, that card plus a hero power sure is 9 face damage for 9 mana, but you could say the same thing about Inner Demon, and it's not like aggro decks were running Inner Demon as a finisher. Inner Demon only got run when you could cast it for 0 mana with Kael'Thas.

I'm a lot more interested in the "pen flinger" legendary. Not because I think you're going to recur it a ton like Pen Flinger, but because it's basically Lifedrinker. Opponent loses 2 health, you gain 2 health, get a 2/2. Obviously Lifedrinker is gain/lose 3 and a 3/3, but it's also double the mana. Even one bounce is into very good territory (after one bounce, for the same mana as Lifedrinker, you've dealt 4 and gained 4 health).

Gan'arg Glaivesmith also looks...well it's a lot worse than Twin Slice, but what are you going to do, not run it? It gives your hero +3 attack. But god, it is a little underwhelming isn't it? Like...you need outcast for that? Pretty sure you could remove the outcast requirement, and Shaman's Stormstrike would still be the better card. Still, I would be genuinely surprised if DH aggro decks didn't run this.
