They may also contain information that changes at such a rapid pace that maintaining them is no longer practical.
Big Demon Hunter is a control Demon Hunter deck type that uses late-game Demon minions with Demon synergy effects.
The bulk of the deck's power comes from large, high-cost demons like 
Taintheart Tormenter and 
Pit Commander which are brought into the board with cards like 
Raging Felscreamer, 
Caria Felsoul, or Sigil of Reckoning. They use a number of mid-game AoE and Lifesteal spells to stabilize beforehand, such as Immolation Aura and Eye Beam. Other late-game threats like Priestess of Fury continue to add pressure after they've established control of the board with big demons.

History[edit source]
Originally, the rampant success of aggro and midrange Demon Hunter made Big Demon Hunter not only generally outclassed, but their popularity resulted in the presence of many Warlock decks running 
Sacrificial Pact, which countered Big Demon Hunter moreso than any other Demon Hunter archetypes. With their biggest counter and other Demon Hunter cards nerfed, the deck started to see presence in the meta.
