Okay, I guess I'll do a super quick guide.
I replaced The Soularium, Big Bad Archmagex1, and Siphon Soulx1 for Corruptionx2 and Dr. Morrigan.
Against All Decks:
You want early game clear, and your giants.
Corruption, Hellfire, Shadow Bolt and Mountain Giant. If your opening hand has a Plot Twist that's pretty good too, saves you from having to find it later on because the only time you should be using that card is to combo it with Dollmaster Dorian / Fel Lord Betrug
This deck relies on you using your hero power to maintain your hand around the 8-9 card mark. You have to defend cleverly because decks that bukkakke minions onto the board could be really hard to deal with. Use your Sense Demons to heal yourself with Aranasi Broodmother if you need it. If you are being pressured you want your Rotten Applebaum and Zilliax in hand as soon as you can.
Otherwise, its pretty straight forward. Your turn 6-7, or your turn 9-10 will often win you the game. Plot Twist + Dollmaster Dorian / Fel Lord Betrug will summon your army. This will make your opponent curl up into fetal position and say nothing but, "mama" for 30 minutes straight.
I sometimes let my opponent get me to 10HP before I yell, "PLOT TWIST MFKER, YOU WERE DEAD THE WHOLE TIME". Then, I heal to full, clear his board, and summon a bunch of minions at the same time.
.
You have to defend properly early on. Its not easy in a sense that you need to know how much damage you CAN take, and how much you shouldn't. There is a reason this deck has so much healing. Its to make up all the damage you'll take early on.
Yeah sorry, I just don't consider it a viable deck. Back to rank 3 now with priest deck - I would not recommend this to anyone unless they just want to have fun with something weird :) It's just not competitive in the current meta. No amount of healing here can outlast any aggro deck - you're dead by turn 5-6. Bye!
You have set "Highlander Warlock" as deck archetype, which is clearly not correct for your list.
I couldn't find "Meme Warlock" on the list. I hope its better now.
Sorry but this is a terrible, terrible, terrible deck :) It has absolutely no way of dealing with aggro, and I doubt it has a winrate over 10% against anything else. Could be fun in the odd match where you have god-draw and the opponent has the worst draw possible, but otherwise, it's probably worse than the "auto-complete" decks. Certainly not worth crafting 2 legendaries to play.
Should just add: I won zero out of 10 games with this at rank 7 down to rank 9.
Probably should not have added your rank there, just defeating your own arguments.
My "current" rank - or at least it was - I'm a pretty casual player, and just enjoy playing weird decks most of the time. Certainly not a "try hard" going for legend every month. I'm just calling this deck for what it is - maybe an interesting idea, but it just doesn't work in the current meta. Probably the weakest deck I've tried in the expansion. It loses to virtually everything.
Really cool deck
I am struggling against aggro but really fun against control ;)
This deck is fun and interactive
I had to create an account just to say that this deck is not good. Thank you for the effort, but I'm like 1-9 on ranks 2-3. I crafted Fel Lord Betrug only for this and I regreted it. Hope it sees some use in the future.
There's a reason he said "decent". To my understanding, Plot Twist decks are 4th tier. Lose against any hunter and super aggressive decks unless your draw rng is godlike. That being said, this deck actually performed better than the other Plot Twist decks I've tried.
I wish this strat was better too, a lot more fun than any of the other archetypes out there at the moment. I'm sure next expansion they'll elaborate on this strat more and maybe Fel Lord Betrug won't be wasted dust to you after all.
there is a firebat version that works. Fel Lord Betrug is a Tier 4 craft but still fun. If you are running against a lot of control add an elk and cut something. Doll master is too greedy. Can work but still.
What's the winrate against bomb warrior with this deck? I imagine plot twist could be bad against it as it actively draws bombs and brawls clear the board after those plot twists.

Fun deck! Lots of healling already though so how about adding a Tunnel Blaster or 2 instead of Deranged Doctor to counter token druid?
As long as the core remains the same, you can switch any minion in this deck for something else that you'd rather play.
the doctor is intended to heal you on the plot twist turn.
I understand that, but with Zilliax and Aranasi Broodmother the deck can already heal you a fair amount. This deck struggles to deal with token druid (maybe get 1 turn of Fel Lord Betrug if you're lucky), and I'm playing them alot. As OP says though stick in whatever you like, it's only a suggestion.
I had sometimes bad openings but I have to say that the deck works pretty well as you described (Sense Demons and Witchwood Piper saved me more than one game when Plot Twist didn't pop out).
Not having Dr. Morrigan and Cairne Bloodhoof i tried using Arch-Villain Rafaam ( just for value in late game having used all the Plot Twist ) and Safeguard as replacements maintaining the deck consistency. I think that also two copies of Safeguard alone can be a good budget replacement for the two legendaries.
Nice deck! Just won 4 games straight with it and lost the 5th to a rogue. It gets pretty chaotic in your favor once you play the combo. I can see this not performing well though against hagatha's scheme.
