Hi guys. Made this deck on the first day of S14. It works almost the same as Kolento's GvG Demonlock. It's not handlock-type of deck, more midrange style with some lategame.

The current list you see here was made to counter tons of aggro decks in the first days of the season. I will change it to more controlish-style when the meta will be established. Going to play this deck up to high legend ranks this season, it's pretty viable for that with some changes. Also going to play it on the next Zotac Cup.

My stats:

Had 80% winrate when posted this deck. I'm climbing and facing better opponents so my winrate slightly decreased but it remains above 70% against most of the classes except just a few of them.

Cards explanation:

Power Overwhelming - It's awesome to make your Shadowflame better, also it gives you burst damage or can be used as Nerubian Egg activator. Against control matchups (let's say Control Warrior) when he plays one single legendary on board (Ragnaros the Firelord / Ysera etc) you can drop Sylvanas Windrunner and Power Overwhelming it to steal his legendary.

Darkbomb - Early game removal which allows you to remove Acolyte of Pain, Knife Juggler etc. In lategame it's an additional burst. Has synergy with Azure Drake.

Shadowflame - Probably the best AoE removal in the game which allows you to clear any board without sacrificing your own.

Abusive Sergeant - Cheap minion but still has value. It helps you to make good trades, to pop your Nerubian Egg, to make Shadowflame bigger. For example, you played Twilight Drake turn 4 and your opponent plays Sludge Belcher turn 5. You will be able to trade with Sludge Belcher using Abusive Sergeant. And probably the best use for this card is its synergy with Big Game Hunter. This combo allows you to kill 5 HP enemy minions. Can also kill your own Sylvanas Windrunner in this way.

Sunfury Protector - Helps against aggro.

Big Game Hunter - It's just awesome in this deck and it's the reason I use 2 of them here. It has insane synergy with Abusive Sergeant plus it gives you not just a removal but 4/2 body on board.

Blackwing Technician - This card has nice stats as a 3-mana drop. It's even better in Warlock decks where you have more card draw power and almost always will have a dragon to make it 3/5.

Defender of Argus - Helps against aggro the same as Sunfury Protector.

Hungry Dragon - It's probably my favorite non-legendary BWD card. Awesome stats for 4 mana and the negative effect doesn't hurt when you have minions on board to deal with 1 drop instantly. Also it might be very helpful against aggro when you get Zombie Chow from the negative effect (and it becomes positive). It happened to me when I was playing against face hunter and that Zombie Chow won me the game.

Twilight Drake - Always good in non-aggro Warlock decks just because you will always have cards to make this guy above 4/6.

Antique Healbot - Helpful against aggro. Double healbot is a must in this meta. Might cut one when meta becomes slowlier.

Azure Drake - It's additional card draw without losing 2 HP which might be very important in aggro matchups. Also gives you spellpower that sometimes can also be useful.

Sludge Belcher - Auto-include in any non-aggro deck.

Emperor Thaurissan - Useful legendary that can give you huge value especially in Warlock deck where you always have enough cards.

Sylvanas Windrunner - Must-have in this deck. Synergies with Shadowflame, Power Overwhelming, Abusive Sergeant + Big Game Hunter, Sunfury Protector, Defender of Argus.

Volcanic Drake - When your opponent become greedy and floods the board this card gives you an opportunity to retake board control after Shadowflame. Shadowflame + double Volcanic Drake + Sunfury Protector / Defender of Argus can win you the game against aggro decks.

Dr. Boom - Dr. Balanced Kappa

Alexstrasza - Helpful against any kind of deck. It's better than Lord Jaraxxus in this deck because it can be used in both ways: offensive or defensive.

Possible cards to include:

Ysera - Insane valuable card and my favorite legendary in the whole game. Will add it for sure when the game becomes slowlier.

Siphon Soul - You can use it as a replacement for one Big Game Hunter if you don't have two of them. Might be even better against aggro as it gives you bit more heal.

Blackwing Corruptor - Might consider to add it, for example, instead of Darkbomb.

Mortal Coil - Can be considered. I wanted to include it at the beginning but didn't find any place for it.
