This is the deck ran by Realz in the VGVN Day Two Tournament. I'm just posting it here for viewing people's viewing pleasure.
Holding big Demons in your hand and having Voidcaller's bring them out are nice. Eating fatties with the Void Terrors are amazing. There are a lot more tricks to this deck than it seems! There is a lot of control here, and a lot of incredibly thoughtful plays to think about. Going whole hog off the bat is risky, but can payoff, and you can also play it safe as well. People don't really see this deck coming. This is a new Meta: Big Demon Jaraxxus Combo. Free demons are the best demons.
1) It is not Hand Lock. 2) It is not Zoo Lock.
Realz played this deck all the way to the VGVN FINALS and it won 3 straight. Sadly, he lost the final match (game 7 of 7) b/c of no taunter. It seemed like a chance thing really.
Full credit to Realz for playing this deck with superb clarity and power. Jaraxxus won him a fair share of times with this deck.
This is a gimmick deck and nothing more. In the upper echelons of gimmickville with the likes of Malygos rogue and poison seeds+starfall druid.
What's wrong with gimmick decks? It's sure refreshing to play with/against them every once in a while, why don't you complain more about the mainstream decks instead?
Okay, here is my problem with this deck. It's turning me into a giggling lunatic. I am literally in my apartment alone doing Jaraxxus impressions and a glottal "whooooooOOOOOOOOOO" whenever I play a Void Terror combo.
This deck is not as great as some people think. I think even Realz would admit that much of the success at first came from the surprise factor. In the VGVN finals he won 3 straight games vs Amaz, but he also drew Jaraxxus EXACTLY when he needed him. He played Jaraxxus to save him in all 3 games. Anyone who has played decks with Jaraxxus knows that wouldn't happen very often.
I'm also not sure why there is only 1 Soulfire here. I'm sure people will say "soulfire is better in zoo because you can play it and not discard.", but that's BS. Every handlock since the beginning of time also runs 2 Soulfire, and discarding cards as handlock is probably worse than in any other deck. People play Soulfire because it's one of the best cards in the game. 4 damage for 0 mana is great even when you lose a card.
I'm not saying the deck is terrible. Or even bad. It's just not "OMG NEW DEMON META" like some people here seem to think. I have even made and tried my own version, which I personally think is superior. In case anyone cares - it's http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/90579-demonology
Like I said at the bottom (below the screenshots), I had only played the deck 3 or 4 times. Sylvanas was in there because of how well she works with Void Terror + Power Overwhelming, but because she is no longer the only good minion to use with them she is definitely not required. I wasn't even sure I'd put her in to begin with. That spot is very flexible. Sunfury might be a great choice. If you didn't need the extra taunt, I'd say to also try a 2nd Faceless. He's so good in that deck.
killer deck so much fun to play had to make some exceptions because i haven't been able to get a Jaraxxus out of a pack yet
Nope, Molten Giants count from your max HP, so if you're playing as Jaraxxus, they cost 20 mana at 15 health and 10 mana at 5 health.
Well, Voidcaller into Jaraxxus is the risk you take maybe. And even if that happens you can taunt him up for 3/15 or 4/16 wall.
Sure Molten Giants and Jaraxxus are mutually exclusive, but you just have to play the giants before Jaraxxus... that's all. If you don't draw into Moltens before you have to play Jaraxxus... hard luck. :P
With this deck I fall to 14 rank. bullshit
Deck-list looks basically like Handlock minus Earth Giants , etc, and some Demon's thrown in here and there... 0_o
I disagree. Half the cards in this deck are not viable in handlock.
Can i change molten giant? I dont have any giants.
What do you think about Feugen + Stalagg ?
think molten giants as a insurance when your plan A fails, feugen and stalagg is offensive cards/combo so they will serve different purpose than molten giant
Hard to play with out Jaraxxus. Hope i Pull one soon!
I would try playing with a Sylvanas instead if you have one, just to be used to the deck.

Tried this and voidterror kinda sucks in this deck. This isn't a zoo deck where you have plenty of cheap minions that can be eaten and not take a big hit if it immediately gets silenced. The only good target for voidterror is the egg but the egg already has many ways to be activated without needing another situational card in your hand. Not to mention there aren't a whole lot of demons in the deck so when you play your voidcaller, you're banking on it summoning you a free doomguard or dread infernal and it sucks when you have that voidterror in your hand you never had the right opportunity to play that can be summoned instead.
I only run one void terror for those very reasons. Void terror can be amazing in certain situations, though. You can use power overwhelming on an egg, attack with it, then void terror the egg to keep its stats and get a 4/4. It also works well with ancient watchers. Play ancient watcher on turn 2, then void terror on turn 3, and you have a turn 3 7/8. But, in my opinion, it's better to only run one because you don't want your voidcallers to summon one.
This deck is no good against basically every other deck right now I played 10 and lost 8... my murloc deck wins at least 80% guess ill stick with that..
Then I would say you're missing the play style totally and not digging into some of the meaty combos. Recent adjustments include running a Sludge Belcher instead of Faceless Manipulator. You could also run Illidan Stormrage instead of Dread Infernal.
I guess it could be that.. But i have played a lock for the last three seasons and i understand how locks work.. but i'll keep trying at it.. maybe im missing something?
