D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Guide to Everything: What subclasses made the cut?

[Phion]

I was pretty disappointed that the Monster hunter did not make the cut. I know there is the monster slayer, but something about the monster hunter fighter is just more appealing. Made a Half-elf who used the tavern brawler feat so he could use chained hooks like a whip and then grapple them as a bonus action or use 10 ft reach against tougher opponents. Monster slayer encourages you to go more of a DEX build.

A pretty diverse selection but they can be organized by themes.

Religious: Forge, Grave, Conquest, Redemption, Divine Soul, Zealot, kind of The Celestial.
Feywild: College of Glamour, Circle of Dreams, Circle of Shepherds.
Shadowfell: College of Whispers, Shadow Magic, Gloom Stalker, Grave, Hexblade
Defender: Cavalier, Ancestral Guardian

Horizon Walker could fit in with any planar theme, but because ranger can take fey summoning spells fits with the feywild best.
