Episode 106 : Rattlin on Demon Hunter!!!

This week we take a look at the ban of Stealer of Souls in wild then we move into a deep dive into the various versions of Death Rattle Demon hunter!!!

Stealer of Souls will be BANNED in Wild mode after patch 20.4.2 on Wednesday

https://twitter.com/PlayHearthstone/status/1403431995858849794

• Alec Dawson commented on the card when it would rotate to Wild with the rest of Forged in the Barrens via Twitter (https://twitter.com/GW_Alec/status/1403434439145754624): "Current plan is to adjust the card at that point in time and remove the ban. If any adjustments happen to Stealer of Souls before that (ex/ a standard nerf) we'll also re-evaluate its inclusion in Wild."
• Patch notes for 20.4.2 include Stealer of Souls Ban, 2 battlegrounds changes and some
