Il'gynoth

Il'gynoth is a legendary demon hunter minion card, from the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire set.

Strategy
There are many Lifesteal options for Demon Hunters, be it from the Aldrachi Warblades + attack boosts like Inner Demon and Soulshard Lapidary combos or from general spells like Soul Cleave and Eye Beam. Control Demon Hunters can use this as a way to close out the late game with all of their leftover, presumably worthless Lifesteal cards, and Aggro decks can bypass Taunt and finish off their opponent without having to waste resources dealing with the minions.

You can also combine Il'gynoth with Mo'arg Artificers for extreme burst damage. Artificers can be duplicated by Felosophy for even more doubling, allowing you to kill the opponent from full health with spells.
