Really now, those thinking it's T1 are either severely ignorant about the new 1.28 cards or are just plain trolling.
In fact, 1.27 Moonstalker was much stronger. It's true that Darkclaw's ability is much better than Moonstalker's was on 1.27, so why would the deck be that much worse. It's very simple really, this little card:
See? In 1.27 Moonstalker could actually beat Warriors and Gwen if he got the lock going. And that was a significant portion of the meta. Of course it was auto lose against anything shadow or priests.
Now in 1.28 this deck beats nothing. Let me repeat that so it can sink in, NOTHING.
Sure, you're forced to take it into consideration in deckbuilding and have to tech specifically against it, but that's all that can be said for the deck. And the tech involves 2 cards that can actually be somewhat useful against other decks too. Sure you'll catch noobs by surprise with it, but anyone that's been playing 1.28 longer than a day already knows how to beat it.
Here's how in case you haven't figured it out already. For shadow carry 2 Shrieks, for human 2 Misplaced. It's that easy!
In both cases you play it out the same. Play as much allies as you can, doing as much damage as you can. He will eventually lock you with his ability. Even with Shadow Font he can't keep it up forever. Eventually a Full Moon or Rain Delay has to come. When it does shriek it or misplace it and finish him off. By then you should have more than enough firepower to kill him in that same turn. NEVER shriek anything else. I've seen a lot of people waste them on WBT or Lone Wolf. Don't. Save it for either Full Moon or Rain Delay and win the game.
Funny thing is that if Full Moon was 5cc, DC might actually be T1, but since it's 4 it's T3.
I'm posting this because I find playing against DC insuferably boring, so hopefully once people realize it's an auto lose against literally anything that carries shriek or misplaced, we'll see him a lot less.
