When will there be not overpowered DH card?
6/6 Rush (Demon) for 1 mana? seems broken.
worth keep all copies to maximize dust refund after potential nerf..
What are some concrete examples of a card (or pair of cards) that you cut into make room for this card?
You can Cut Adept, wand maker or consume magic
its always depends on meta, if meta is aggro to mid-range this card is great (since its great tempo, you remove something good immediately from opponent board, keeps a threat and all for just 1 mana)
If meta is control this card is not good and Adept is better (because Adept provides burst damage and this provides tempo which not required vs control).

Surely the art and name are a tip of the hat to the Lady of Pain from planescape D&D.
Wow this is amazing. Just play Marrow Slicer and 1 Twin Slice and then you can get free and powerful value. Soul Demon Hunter is already Tier 1, and this is an easy inclusion so 5 stars.
There’s an even faster way to get this earlier. Turn 3 Aldrachi Warblades, turn 4 twin slice second slice and bam, two ladies on turn 4.
As powerful as it may seem, I feel like people are exaggerating this card. Sure it’s powerful, but consider it more of a niche way to for taunts out of your way for a guaranteed execution with your Hero’s Attack Power. Though you can even consider Inner Demon into 2 Bladed Ladies for a very spiked mana value for example, or how Soul Demon Hunter can decently use Bladed Lady pretty well, Use it for the Aggressive pressure or use it defensively. If your playing Highlander, Defentially grab 1 of these because it’s still that powerful.
4 Stars.
I would be tempted to agree with you. Despite all the shenanigans that Demon Hunters can pull off, you can’t realistically expect, at any given point of the game, to be able to give yourself +5 Attack. There are still a number of ways to do it : the Soul Shard weapon with HP, both Twin Slice spells with HP, and the Soul Shard synergy card that gives your Hero +5 Attack. The real problem being that in order for this to be worth it you realistically want to play other things during that turn, so unless you have a weapon equipped from the turn before you will have to spend at least 3 to 5 mana to get the +5 Attack, which means you need something to make good use of your remaining mana otherwise this card just allows you to play a big Rush minion and some face damage in the same turn, which is not bad at all, but not meta defining either.
I’d say this card has a pretty powerful effect, but one that is relatively impractical to use, despite the huge discount. Remains a good card though, but people seem to overestimate the practicality of this card – it’s somewhat situational (you need both Hero Attack cards, or a weapon, and an enemy minion in order not to waste Rush). I agree with your 4 star rating however, because a 1 mana 6/6 with Rush is just that good.
I just found it a bit too unrealistic that Demon Hunter will all of a sudden get 6 Attack all a sudden. I was only really thinking about Twin Slice but that was legit the first I thought about since I love using Altruius so much. So yeah, I kinda backfired myself a little bit, there.
Ok, so this Card cost (1)
Feels clunky to me.
Which card from the current DH list would I cut for this one? None
This with a Marrowslicer and one Twin slice, a Soulshard Lapidary and a Hero Power, or an Aldrachi WarBlades with two Twin slices means you get a 6 Attack swing with a free 6/6 on 6 mana. DH currently is a more midrangey style deck so that’s not clunky and synergizes perfectly with the current DH lists. Yes the DH current list is good, but I would personally cut a couple of cards for such power swing turns which aren’t hard to achieve.
I think this card could be surprisingly not great. You may have to play a turn behind sometimes in order to get this to go off, so it may not be worth it. It might be, but I think (because of how fast demon hunter is) it could be too slow. Just a possibility, still a good card.
Holy fuck.
6 attack is not that much of a stretch to get I expect to see this lady a lot in upcoming DH decks
Considering that Soul Demon Hunter is one of the top tier decks? Yup, it’s not nearly as difficult as one might think. Between Marrowslicer, Soulshard Lapidary, Twin Slice and Chaos Strike, the deck has plenty of options. Demon tag even gives this lady more value if you happen to get Felosophy off of Wandmaker. Demon Hunter’s going to get real silly, real quick – again.
Oops posted too many because of lag! Sorry!
1 mana 6/6 rush with your 6 face damage!
One potential problem I see though, is that this card’s baseline is expensive. That might inhibit its usefulness in decks using the new Stiltstepper, because you wouldn’t be able to put down the six mana to play this minion in order to gain the +4 attack.
This card isn’t perfect – you won’t always be able to give your hero +6 attack on any given turn. But it’s still a pretty strong body that’d certainly find its place in some face-hitting DH decks. 4/5
Is it just me, or does this seem really good? 1 mana 6/6 rush with your 6 face damage!
