UPDATE: Hey guys, I'm really happy that the deck met with such an interest from your side.
Catch me when I'm streaming to see this and some other creative decks in action :)
All rights reserved! :D Ok, just kidding, feel free to test it and change this boring WellMet meta!
I'm Xyrron, a Polish streamer and a passionate deckbuilder.
I'm legendary rank player and every single time I hit legend with my own deck.
To make it clear, writing "my own" I do not mean "it's a patron warrior but I've changed 1 card so no it's my own deck", no...I mean completely new deck which is not a variation of any other deck.
I'm usually trying to use new cards that no one else is playing, cause the greatest advantage in every card game is the knowledge of what your opponent is playing while he has no freaking idea what you can possibly keep in your hand ;)
Today I want to share my warlock decklist, it is build around various demon synergies and uses some of less standard cards like Sacrificial Pact or Demonheart.
I hit legend rank with this deck 2days ago with average win ratio of 71% (almost 80% before rank 2) and I will be going for top100 this season.
Here is the short video from beating the Final Boss guarding the Legend Rank ;)

About the deck:
Due to the very high rate of WellMet encounters (on ranks 6-3 nearly 80% of my games were vs Uther!), the deck was meant to crush every WellMet on it's way. It works great against any aggro deck and still has enough late game stuff to win a control match up. I only struggled a bit vs face hunters (around 60% win) but you won't meet them that often on the higher ranks.
Mulligans:
Zoo/WellMet/Hunter - 1 drops, 2drops, Mistress of Pain is incredibly important vs WellMet and Hunter. Look for Demonwrath too in all cases but if u have hellfire in your starting hand you may consider keeping it too. Keep Voidcaller if the rest of your cards is looking good or if you have a coin.
Tempo Mage - Mulligan here is a bit different cause you don't need Mistress of Pain any more in the early stage of the game (she's just not trading well and is very vulnerable to flame cannon). You want to make sure that you have at least 1 Darkbomb in your hand, Zombie Chow is alwas good too. Removals will be your key cards so keeping Imp-losion or Hellfire (great vs both tempo and mechmage) is higly recommended. Voidcaller is great if you already have some early game stuff.
Warrior - I'm not going to explain patron match up here cause patron will be dead soon.
Don't rush, play a slow control game and in most cases you will be able to outvalue your opponent. Voidcaller is the most important here. Keep 1 Darkbomb to deny Acolyte of Pain, Imp Gang Boss cause he is hard to remove and Zombie Chow to pop up his armor.
Shaman - Similar mulligan as for the tempo mage, you don't need Mistress of Pain early game. Focus on Imp-losion Zombie Chow and Voidcaller.
Demonwrath is also pretty sweet cause it kills all the totems and set the stronger minions in the range of Bane of Doom.
Priest - this is a hard one. It's very frustrating to fight for the board against all these high hp minions which are getting constant heals. You need bomb to deny his draw and Imp Gang Boss to weaken his minions. Never keep Mistress of Pain in your hand, don't feed the troll :D
Voidcaller is great to catch up with tempo and Demonheart is a key card to make this one superdemon who will finally kill his Big Guy and take control of the board.
Important Notes:
Try to NOT use Demonheart as a removal unless you are very desperate. In 99% cases you want to buff one of your demons (usually it's Mistress of Pain for insane heal or just a casual imp to make BGH proof 6/6 who can trade for 2 or more minions).
Don't waste Faceless Manipulator on some poor 5 or 6 drops unless your opponent is out of cards and you're headong for fast lethal. Keep it for double Lord Jaraxxus or Mal'Ganis. Sometimes you can use it as a combo-finisher in a situation when you have Doomguard + Demonheart + Faceless Manipulator in your hand (or just a Doomguard on board) you may buff up your charger, then copy it and hit face for the insane 20dmg(!!) with double 10/12 Doomguard!
I hope I didn't skip something important. Share your opinions about the deck and maybe make some suggestions about possible card replacements. I know that the deck is very hard to play and your brain will be working at top speed, but I promise that you won't regret learning this one.
For the Xyrronlock gameplay visit my stream on http://twitch.tv/xyrron and feel free to ask me any question when I'm online. I usually start my stream at 20:00 CEST every day.
Good Luck my friends! ;)
Update: -1 Zombie Chow +1 Ironbeak Owl
I just don't see that many secret WellMets in the legend rank and owl is much better vs priest and in other control match ups. If secret WellMet is still a curse of lower ranks you may keep the zombie though.
Update:
Catch me streaming/leave a follow and maybe present your ideas for the new deck?
During my stream I'm often trying new stuff, trying to break the meta and counter mainstream, boring decks ;P
I start everyday around 20:00 CEST http://twitch.tv/xyrron
Hey! I don't know if you'll see this, but I just wanted to say thank you for this deck! I really enjoy playing it! Additionally, I was wondering what you thought about this change that I made: - 1 Bane of Doom +1 Nexus-Champion Saraad. I think it works nicely, as the demon summoned can be hit or miss, and the Saraad is a good card to bait some removal. Additionally, it can snowball well with Emperor. What do you think about that change?
Of course I will see ;)
I care about my viewers and ppl interested in unconventional solutions like a mother who cares for her new born baby :D
I really do love Nexus-Champion Saraad but this would slow down the deck even more. Bane of doom allows you to remove enemy minion when playing vs aggro and instantly get the board control while saraad is doing nothing. What's more the deck has insane amount of removal already and after turn 4 you don't really tap that often cause you want to keep your big minions flooding the board and don't lose the tempo. Tell me how he works for you, but I'm a bit sceptical about it :F
However I'm trying to get the best value out of the Nexus Champion in my new deck I'm still working on:3
I've been using Nexus-Champion Saraad the whole time I've been using this deck (as I don't have a second bane), and I think I started using it around rank 10 or so. Using it, I got to rank 4 and my rate overall is 44W/34L or 56%
Hmm should be a bit higher but it's still more wins than loses ;)
Hope you can get legend with that one, good luck bro.
The deck's doing nicely rank 5-4. It gets completely crushed by face hunters tough, but as it does very well against the other decks that's forgivable.
Yeah that's right, face hunter is very bad match up, but they were at the edge of extinction as I was climbing up the ladder ;)
After the warsong commander nerf the deck may need slight changes to guarantee higher win ratio vs batman.
This match up may be either very ez or impossible to win,game vs batman is highly dependent on your starting hand.
I have been beating face hunters with this deck. RNGesus on my side with the hellfire and demonwrath. Having those is mainly your only hope. Also they never see the Demon Heart + mistress of pain combo for heals coming. Almost always leave my Mistress on the board because they are occupied with going face. Another trick I found is to not proc their secrets. If you have the spells and cards to maintain board control without using your creatures until you can survive their secrets its manageable. This deck is a lot of fun climbed to 11 with it last night. Thanks!
Yeah, you don't really want to trigger their secrets unless you are sure you are able to deal with them ;)
That's right, mistress of pain not only heals you but sometimes they are forced to remove it so it serves as a taunt.
And usually they prefer going face with hoffer instead of trading and then you punish them hard with DH MWAHAHAHAHA! :>
Nice deck. Replaced a Bane of Doom for a DreadSteed. It has great synergy with DemonHeart.
will it return as a 6/6 ?!
No, it doesn't really have that good synergy with Demonheart. It's only synergy is that unless Dreadsteed is silenced, you are guaranteed to have a target but this deck has so many demons it doesn't matter anwyay
yeah, the only benefit of dreadsteed is the fact that you always have a demon on board to target him with a spell but since you can spam so many imps with implosions and gang boss it is not necessary ;)
Sometimes I also go on lose streaks but you got a lot "4 or less" drops in the deck so your bad starting hand does not necessarily mean that the deck is too expensive overall. I have over 150games played with the deck and the stats are 123-52 so I'd say it's been tested properly ;) Sometimes you lsoe 3 in a row to a dragon priest, but then you win 10 following games, that's how the card games work ;)
Very nice, but the only card I am missing is Mal'Ganis. Should I replace him with a second Doomguard or Illidan for the demon synergy? Or just replace him with another high-cost minion?
He's not really replacable - buffs everyone while making you immune. In my Dreadsteed deck I have an Enhance-o Mechano and that does wonders, so you could try that. Illidan (for me at least) plays really slow & you don't get much use out of him unless you have cards you can play at the same time. He'd be a removal target for the opponent at least.
Yeah mal'ganis is not really replacable bro, it's on of the key cards of this deck, the best value from voidcaller and main faceless manipulator target. You can try any other big guy but it will be much worse in this case ;) Or just craft mal'ganis, a great card to have in any warlock deck.
Hey guyz i did another demonlock a view weeks ago. Check it out and let me know what you think about it. It acually works pretty good and i want to know what good players think about it. hf

I will track you down and I will show you your place mr. DragonPriest :> I AM A TURTLE!
People bragging about winning favorable match-ups, real nobel prize level intelects !
I like this deck a lot, but I find myself with unplayable hands way too often at the start, not sure the curve is low enough to get good starts.
