Are you guys all imp-atient to find out the next best deck to imp-rove your rank on ladder? This deck will surely imp-ress your friends! Well then, lets imp-...ok, im done, you get the idea :). This deck is all about imps and demons! The idea behind this deck is to constantly flood the board with imps and demons to overwhelm your opponent. I have had a lot of success with this deck on ladder so far climbing from rank 7 to almost 3 so I hope you all enjoy this amazing new deck! Full write-up below :).
If you like this deck, please give it a +1 so others have a chance to see it as well!
General Strategy:
Early Game (turns 1-3): We want to establish somewhat of a board using Flame Imp, Voidwalker, Knife Juggler, Doubling Imp. Against control classes like Priest, Warrior, Druid, etc or if the board is non threatening and we dont have a great turn 2 its ok to tap on 2. We don't have too much tempo after our early game so it's good to collect cards for our swing turns mid-game
Mid Game (turns 3-6): We can start setting up our token value cards like Rafaam's Scheme, Fiendish Circle, Hench-Clan Hag, Scarab Egg (to combo with Grim Rally or EVIL Genius). Then we should get a cheap Jumbo Imp or cheap Sea Giant around turns 5+. Witch's Cauldron is great for trading your imps or before you sacrifice a minion for Grim Rally or EVIL Genius.
End Game (turns 7+): We want to close the game out soon, so we'll be tapping almost every turn to find more minions and spells to throw on the board. Hopefully by now we've at least had 1 or 2 Jumbo Imp / Sea Giant on the board. The Soularium is a great refill tool as well.
General Mulligan:
Usually you want to look for your early cost minions like Flame Imp, Voidwalker, Knife Juggler, Doubling Imp. Dont keep EVIL Genius or Scarab Egg unless you have both together (then its OP). Against control classes like warrior, priest, druid, etc its ok to keep your mid game token cards like Rafaam's Scheme, Fiendish Circle and Jumbo Imp. I'll usually toss Sea Giant because against control classes, they wipe my board too much and against aggro, I'd rather have more early minions to establish tempo.
Vs. Hunter, Rogue and Warrior I'll even keep a Soulfire to deal with Scavenging Hyena, Hench-Clan Thug, and Augmented Elekk.

I would probably just replace with Impferno then :)
thanks.
ah the hags adds count as imps too right. ok now it seems more appealing actually. I'd still like an impferno in there though.
scribe is great, right!? I crafted one yesterday for my mid range treant deck.
yeah, its surprisingly good!
was just replying to you on dekksters video as well. deck looks awesome.
This is a fun deck. I saw Dekkster playing it earlier today on his Twitch stream. Pretty strong, too.
Wow, you're right! I just checked out his latest stream and looked like he had some pretty good success with it too! That's so humbling to have someone like Dekkster pick it up. I'm glad you like it as well :)
Really easy and smooth games very impressed. Didn't think ladder could get this easy lol... Thanks!
Great gameplay! You played the deck very well! I agree with your statement in the video that token decks are very strong right now because a lot of removal for tokens left in the rotation.
Thank you! If we still had defile maybe it would be more even but yeah soul of the forest is especially insane right now haha! Thanks for sharing this deck idea :D !
Hey my fellow men I am thinking of making this deck , is it worth to give 2520 dust out of 5000 for ranked climb ?
I mean, its definitely not the best win rate deck right now i'd say - that belongs to token druid, control warrior, tempo rogue and murloc shaman. But this is capable of hitting legend if you grind with it and try something different so if it looks fun i'd say go for it!
Got me from Rank 14 to 10 with straight win streak! Thanks! :D
Wow, that's amazing! You're welcome! Glad it's working out for you :)
its complete trash
why?
Because he doesn’t know how to play it and he’s whining.
Really fun deck thanks for posting it. I like Demonbolt but how do you feel about cutting one for a Raid Leader or Impferno? Also how well is Portal Overfiend performing for you? It’s been pretty lack luster for me :(
you're welcome! I'm glad you like it :). I have 2 Demonbolt simply for consistency, since its not often that we have both in hand. However, this list is still not 100% refined so there could be potential for cutting one for an Impferno, I will have to test it out! If we do go the route of using Impferno, then Mad Summoner might be a good addition as well. As far as Portal Overfiend, he's been hit or miss so admittingly hes a card thats on the fence. Some games he provides great tempo and refill but other games hes too slow of a turn 6 and dont see any felhounds. I've also been tinkering with replacing him with a Darkest Hour or Eccentric Scribe
