And janky deck building they did. Cubelock went on to dominate the meta.
"Let me change your mind"
oh yes because priests have demons in their decks making stealing this very valuable
Turn 6: Possessed Lackey + Dark Pact, try to change his mind now.
To all those Jhonnies out there who are looking to do goofy things with this card, may I recommend Sanguine Reveler?
In control warlock, play this into your opponent's Doomsayer or your own Defile. Yank a very large demon of your choice from your deck.
Better yet, combo with Unwilling Sacrifice if the meta has a lot of EZ Big decks.
Of your choice ? Then you have to only put him this demon in the deck and no other. Wow great
Evolve shaman should tech in an Illidan Stormrage to get some serious troll value when/if they wind up with this guy on board.

Just put Malganis (if wild), 3/9 Void taunt, and a bunch of huge demons in your deck. Removal and non-demon early. And use recruit to cheat out late-game stuff. Hell, remember big demon handlock that many people reached legend with seasons ago in GvG? Literally just do that. They are not over costing recruit. Drawing a minion and playing something from your deck is extremely strong and controlled RNG. Like not every deck in the ladder is tempo oriented. The issue with Recruit is not viability, but that it is too easy to control and that it is interactive.
To make this minion have equal value (or more) to that of a vanilla 5 drop, the demon that gets pulled needs to be at the very least a 3/4 or 4/3 (5/6 or 6/5 total stats).
If you create a deck that only has bigger demons than that, and the meta is slow enough, it may see play, but I seriously doubt it...
turn 10:
This plus Bane of Doom for 2 demons on the field
You'll either highroll and get Voidlord and Doomguard
or lowroll and get Street Trickster and Blood Imp
Why the fuck would you ever take Street Trickster or Blood Imp into your deck? :D
Hes talking about Bane of Doom, not the pulled demon
Lackey Recruits a minion, meaning takes it from the deck, so the question is still valid. :P
well one comes from your deck so you probably shouldn't put either of them in. in fact, you should probably only play high-value, midrange demons in that deck.
Yes a bit understated, but in a demonlock just think: Pit Lord , Voidlord , Despicable Dreadlord. The potential value is insane for 5 mana imo. And it's fantastic against Doomsayer
5 mana 2/2 PogChamp
Yeah I also dont like it, I think its a pretty crappy mechanic and even more rng bullshit.
