Hey, HellsF1rst here. I made this deck live on my stream last night and at first we were getting our asses kicked with the first version. We went 3-7 and had to completely retool the entire deck. Once we came together on the best build it started slaughtering!! 7-2 with the revised version which is a 77% win rate! I know It is not the biggest pool for the win rate but it is a very well rounded deck to handle every situation. On top of that its very fun to play a winning deck built by the collective mind. I hope you enjoy our creation! Vectus also has something to say.
"My name is Vectus Decimus Meridius.
Commander of the armies of the dead, General of the fallen legions.
Loyal servant to the true emperor Shadow Guldan.
Father to a murdered Void, Husband to a murdered Willow,
and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next!"
If you want to be a part of making the next deck on my stream please join me at twitch.tv/HellsF1rst Monday - Friday at 9:30pm-12:30am (mountain time)
10 Upvotes and I will make a guide.
Raise Dead - A huge new card this expansion that brings more demons to life for the deck to go on longer!
Plague of Flames - A great board clear and a way to trigger your Voidcallers to pull demons to the board.
Defile - You are not making a Warlock deck without this card. Just too much value against all aggro decks and makes for even huge board clears in mid to late game.
Expired Merchant - This card is used to bring back 2 copies of Bloodreaver Gul'dan or N'Zoth, the Corruptor for huge swings in tempo mid to late game.
Kanrethad Ebonlocke - A great early game drop as well as using the prime version to bring back more demons!
Dark Skies - Another card you cannot run without in this type of deck. Use it to dominate early game against aggro or take out a big minion mid to late game.
Sense Demons - This is how we pull the demons simply put. Always mulligan for this card.
Voidcaller - This is how we pull the demons out of our hand. Always mulligan for this card as well.
Doomguard - A quick 5 damage to the face never hurt. Never play this card unless it is to win the game. Only pull it out with the Voidcallers. Also with this in the demon pool you have a high chance of getting multiples of this late game.
Ectomancy - Huge game tempo turn when you copy 2 or more of your demons to make the board look unstoppable on turn 6.
Keli'dan the Breaker - I love this card because it gets top decked so often when you need it most! Praying for that board clear? Here it is. Also a good way to wipe a minion off the board.
Valdris Felgorge - A great way when low on cards to fill your hand and make it so you can hold 12 cards total! I would consider this a flex card. Play whatever you need to play for your current place in the meta to help win.
Enhanced Dreadlord - Best demon in the deck if you ask me. The lifesteal 5/5 this spawns is just incredible for keeping you alive versus aggro. My goal is to get as many of these on the board as possible so I can keep myself alive against any deck.
Archwitch Willow - This card has saved my ass more times then I can count. Pulling 2 demons to the board and being a 7/7?! Just too much value to pass up.
Mal'Ganis - A staple for an demon deck. Nuff said.
Bloodreaver Gul'dan - This bad boy really helps just seal the deal late game. Rarely if you play 2 of these do you lose the game.
Animated Broomstick - A great addition that allows your Voidcaller to hit something itself to bring the demon out.
Spiritsinger Umbra - When this card is played properly it can create huge swings in tempo. Playing it after you have a Voidcaller down for a turn and then killing the voidcaller against an enemy minion to pull out a Enhanced Dreadlord and triggering its deathrattle is just so satisfying to watch happen and it usually is game at that point.
Faceless Manipulator - Do I really have to explain why this guy is here? Anything you want to copy with him will be a great copy.
Vectus - The guy that spawned the idea for the deck. He summons 2 1/1s of any Deathrattle minions that died and early game that could pull more demons or put another Kanrethed Prime in your deck. Give you the 5/5 lifesteal when they die. Use an Animated Broomstick to hit something with one of those 1/1s and instant gratification.
N'Zoth, the Corruptor - Bring all those deathrattles back for more chaos in the enemies face.
Mulligan for Kanrethad Ebonlocke, Defile, Dark Skies, Voidcaller, and Sense Demons
I hope this helps you understand the deck a little better. Happy playing and thanks again for enjoying the deck with me!
Here are some highlights!
Updated Valdris Felgorge replaced enhanco mechano

Posted Sep 22, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)I can remake it with a few better ideas if you want. Give me a few days as I have a few other decks in the works that I am fine tuning at the moment.

Posted Aug 31, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)Yeah Godfrey could work. Valdris is a flex card so whatever you need for what you are facing most.

Posted Sep 3, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)so i replaced the missing cards with: Ragnaros for Valdris, Godfrey for Keli'dan, Sylvanas for 1 Faceless Manipulator... the results are still amazing with 13 wins and 2 loss (from an aggro-mage and some missplays against Razapriest).....
the only problem is that in some cases Vectus copies the deathrattle from Expired Merchant resulting in a "lost chance"....

Posted Aug 30, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)Sometimes it does. I have won more than lost against aggro lately. But it’s all RNG against aggro for sure. If you get past turn 6 it’s usually an auto win unless it’s an otk early.

Posted Aug 29, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)+2 demonic studies -1 sense demons -1 raise dead. Demonic studies allows you to play voidcaller on 3. Really helps vs aggro decks.

Posted Aug 28, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)Really worked good so far. Only thing I am working around is the fact : If you reach mid and late game it normally is a sure shot. The deck needs in my eyes a small more oppertunity to survive early game. Hyper aggresive means to many losses as late game meens no losses ... I didn´t find answer on that so far but will keep up trying ;)

Posted Aug 28, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)That has always been the problem with demon decks. I don't want to add anymore demons but I do agree that it needs more early game. Maybe dropping the doomguard and ectomancy for 2 mistress of mixtures but that will ruin Vectus and N'zoth. It is really hard to find something sticky early game that does not hurt the late game. Do you have any ideas? I could stream this tonight and try to make it better. I would love to have you there to help with ideas. My twitch handle is on the write up above.

Posted Aug 28, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)Just had to switch my client to english as it is to annoying searching up for english card names parallel ;)
I do unterstand your intentions on adding these cards, but what´s on my "proof list" after paying about 15 matches:
Enhance-o-Mechano, Umbra, Archwitch and somehow Ectomancy and vecuts (vecuts is hard to judge, he should be played before expired merchant and after 2 deathrattle but has synergies with plague of flames
... all other cards have massive impact when they work the way they should work, but often they feel like a dead hand. I agree in not adding further demons.
What i already tried is stonehill defender and Vulpera Scoundrel ... first not convincing, 2nd i will work on. I thougt about sathrovarr instead of Archwitch but he is demon and so negativ corellation with voidcaller
I would not run doomsayer. I will try out following now: + 2 vulpera + 1 khartut and dropping enhanca, umbra, archwitch ... Will come back after some matches ... i do see vulpera add value in early game by givin another defile or hellfire and would like to have some heal in mid game by correlating with n zoth ....

Posted Aug 28, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)I like the ideas. I love ARchwitch tho. She has saved my ass so many times. Enhanco was a flex card. Can play anything in that spot.
I was thinking of taking out ectomancy and enchanco for 2 rat catchers. They worked well in another cubelock i made back in the day.

Posted Aug 28, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)Archwitch has for me as well the disadvantage that it too often draws my prime ;)...
atm i am running
- Enhance-o-Mechano, Umbra, Archwitch and Ectomancy
+ 2 Gnomferatu + 2 Khartut
too early to judge but 3-0 so far .... gnomferatu can suck with raise dead in early game andhas some minion value as well ... vulperian not made me happy as in wild there are too many potential spells ....
*** edit: after some more games +2 dirty rats + 2 khartut work really nice ... let´s so on the long run

Posted Aug 29, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)so i´ve found my setup which i will try next hours
- Enhance-o-Mechano, Umbra, Archwitch and Ectomancy
+ 2 dirty rats (which fit well with Plague if you draw something too big ;)
+ 1 Kharatut ... not blocks your demon n zoth´s but gives some healing value in the mid
+ 1 Felosophy ... which gives some more value for demons as ectomancy did ...
Thanks for the basic creation of this deck. Will come back and report next days.

Posted Aug 29, 2020 (Scholomance Academy)y try it out... as i am not playing very active right I am in the low gold now (2) ... with 6-1 so far in new setup. Lost to a fast hunter who had all cards he needed ...
**** update ... did one last modification that convinces me
- Felosophy and + 2nd expired merchant ... Fel was only used 1 out of 10 games and 2nd expired in 2 out auf 5 ... one time in early game what´s really healpfull and 1 time in late game .... it also is some food for Plague ... it did not harm me on vecuts ....
