Hello,
I've made this deck and hit legend with it today on wild (NA) i thought to share the deck with you guys as climbing was smooth for me, this deck have a lot of tools to help you fight against combo druids in the ladder.
As against even shamans i've had a lot of success winning against them I'll post few screenshots at the end of the post.
What you need to know:
1. Against druid mulligan for Demonic Project , Dirty Rat , Gnomeferatu
2. Against even shaman you need to look for board clear like Defile & Hellfire, if you can play some early minions like Kobold Librarian & Gnomeferatu in board which would slow down your opponent until you can set up your Defile or Hellfire

Very greedy anti-control deck. Can not win against any even shamans, odd rogues and odd paladins. Their proper minion tempo outvalues all this poor aoe in this deck, you just can not follow up with them. Only way to win is to fish for control match ups. Also did not see any similar deck even once on ladder in the last 2 month. Judging from playing at rank 5 to rank legend.

Hey HeadHunterHS,
I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out for you, odd rogue is usually favored it's just a bad match up for this deck I would try to dodge them if i run into one, as for even shaman i really had great results with this deck against them (you can check the second screenshot in my post) it usually comes down to having the early board clear into upgraded Lesser Amethyst Spellstone their 4 mana 7-7 usually when i make it to turn 7 Lord Godfrey turn i can win from there, as for odd paladin I'm not really sure I've not played much against it from 4 to legend so you are probably right most of my games was against combo druids, even shaman or just anti combo decks.
Sounds to me you're not making proper mulligans and not knowing when to go all in or sit back and wait. I currently have a 64% with this deck rank 9-5
One of the worst deck so far in this meta i have tested. Rin and Weapon? What the fck? This deck is waaaay to slow.
Hey PrototyperGer,
I'm sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with this deck, if i may ask what rank did you play this deck at? against which decks? as every deck have it's good match up and bad match up.
You need Skull of the Man'ari against the aggro match up while Rin, the First Disciple is just there as a 3-6 body with taunt, However against the control match up Rin, the First Disciple secure the game by playing the seals then you pretty much win the game with Azari but you need not to play Skull of the Man'ari against the control match up.
Hi, why aren't voidcallers and Malganis in the deck?
Hey marin_bar,
I've tried Voidcallers in an early version of this deck but it didn't work out for me Voidcaller will just allow you to summon one demon it gets devolved as soon as you play it against even shaman and sometimes you just have it in hand without having a demon i find it more tricky to establish a Voidcaller in this deck since i only run 2 Voidlord as the demons in this deck.
However Skull of the Man'ari just keeps checking for your demons at the start of every turn, having x2 Stonehill Defender in the deck you are more likely to discover extra Voidlord if they devolve one it can be just devolved into a taunt with big stats or just a sticky minion on board with big stats while next turn your skull can summon a demon again you get to do all this for free mana while playing removal spells to clear their board it worked out for me better in this scenario than having x2 Voidcallers.
As for Malganis I'm not saying it's a bad idea but you don't really need to extend the high cost minion in this deck cause it might backfire as it increase the chance of you having this kind of opening hand with high cost minions against aggro decks which isn't helpful if you get really unlucky with the opening hand having one or two of the high cost minions as dead cards. you have Rin, the First Disciple which helps you to out value greedy control decks and a 3-6 body with taunt against aggro.
Hey TbagZ123,
You could play Sylvanas or Malganis if you don't have Rin, the First Disciple however i really think Rin, the First Disciple just makes you win the control game if you draw it early so you might want to try and discover Rin, the First Disciple off the Stonehill Defender and have either Malganis or Sylvanas as a replacement.
thanks. going to try it out
hey Larsens,
Thanks, glad it worked out for you :)
Zola is for... ?
N'Zoth
Hello Peter8111,
Zola can be used for a lot of things depends on your position and what are you playing against for example:
1. Against combo druid you can use Dirty Rat and Zola the Gorgon the rat in case you didn't pull a combo piece to try again.
2. Against aggro decks like even shaman you could use zola on taunts such as Giggling Inventor or Voidlord if you have skull online sometimes using it even on Stonehill Defender would worth it cause it allows you to discover more taunt against aggro
3. Against warlocks i usually use Zola the Gorgon for either turn 10 combo: Brann Bronzebeard + Gnomeferatu + Zola the Gorgon to get 2 more Gnomeferatu that would help you fatigue them faster and even can burn key cards like n'zoth or guldan Also you could use Brann Bronzebeard + Zola the Gorgon on N'Zoth, the Corruptor if it lives to get 2 extra copy of it usually it depends on your position on game i would say it's flexible card.
4. Against Priest you might want to save your Zola the Gorgon for Rin, the First Disciple on turn 9 since they usually run Entomp or silence.
Thank You.
But how can i kill 2 7/7 minions after using dirty rat twice ? Starbuck Druid rape me so hard, i'm stucking in rank 10 right now
Hey fuuka08,
You need to establish some board or have an upgraded Lesser Amethyst Spellstone before you play Dirty Rat because you auto lose if you rat Aviana without having removals to deal with it since he can just play the combo next turn if Aviana stay alive... or he can just play ancient brewmaster at the 7-7 if you rat it therefore you need to make some measure with mana and board before playing Dirty Rat
Ok, the deck seems good BUT
1) You can easily tranform it into a Renolock
2) Isn't Gluttonous Ooze just better than ASO? Mainly against aggro decks, becaase 3/4 armor as Warlock is quite important
3) I think you are running too many anti-combo tools. But that's wild so it should be ok.
4) Have you considered Mistress of Mixtures?
5)Silvanas is not bad with N'zoth instead of Rin IMHO
Hello Pumpkin03,
1. transforming it into a Renolock that would ruin the purpose of the deck you need the extra copy of the cards to be consistent against combo druid which are a lot in the ladder.
2. You are right Gluttonous Ooze is much better but i don't have the dust for it thus i used ASO.
3. From rank 4 to legend all i have played against was combo druid and even shaman beside some other decks weren't as consistent but definitely there was ridiculous amount of combo druids that's why i run the anti-combo tools.
4. I thought about Mistress of Mixtures but i didn't find the space to include it as Lesser Amethyst Spellstone carried me this whole run so it was ok without Mistress.
5. Sylvanas is an amazing card i usually play it on Reno decks but Rin, the First Disciple is more important in my opinion because when you draw it early against control decks or reno decks you pretty much win the game specially if they are slow decks you can just fatigue them and burn most of their important cards and win the game you also get extra seal from Rin, the First Disciple when it's brought back with N'Zoth, the Corruptor that help you make threats when you have nothing better to play.
What do you target specifically with Skulking Geist? Mechathun and Jade are non existant in Wild, so Naturalize and Jade Idol are not an issue. Neither is Cold Blood. Powerful Shaman, Warrior and Mage spells are not 1 mana. Combo Priest is so rare... I'd consider Sylvanas or even another big demon in his place to fuel your big 10 mana baddies.
Hey renatompassos,
Skulking Geist isn't that important right now it's not a core card in general you can change it if you don't like it but in my case i like it as it helped to interrupt some decks at the same time which worked out for me i didn't run into jade druids however i ran into odd rogue often with Cold Blood , some kingsbane rogue some warriors whether odd or dmh both run Shield Slam and mostly for druids who uses Biology Project like a coin to do the surprise combo on turn 9.
Sylvanas is an amazing card but in general you need it for the control match up i find having rin is more than enough to secure the long game but as i said if you don't like Skulking Geist you can change it shouldn't do much of impact to the deck.
