-HOW TO REKT PPL WITH DEMONS 101-
!!!!-Remastered against new metas 20.08.2015-!!!!
Core Strategies:
-
Feel free to use your mini demons {mistress of pain, Flame Imp, Voidwalker,Imp Gang Boss} at the begining of the game. They will prevent any early zoo aggro attacks with the power of Demonfire. And you dont want to see this mini demons on your hand when your Voidcaller is on the board.
- Mistress of Pain: 2 mana cost 1-4 demon is just fantastic. And they are healing half of life tap's dmg when she attacks or attacked. Against early aggro decks, use Demonfire on her and your 3-6 demon will hold much longer plus +3 heal when she attacks or attacked again ofcourse.
- Flame Imp(If you use it): This demon also has huge board control at the begining of the game. 3-2 is just great and you can still use Demonfire on it if necessary. Plus you can buff your Floating Watchers.
- Voidwalker: 1-3 tank with 1 mana, 3-5 with Demonfire... this guys will protect you at the begining of the game which is obvious. But the thing people doesnt know is your Mal'Ganis and your Lord Jaraxxus are 9 mana. When you use this big guys, you want a tank infront of you. With Mal'Ganis your Voidwalker is now 3-5 tank. Its pretty good 10 mana combo.
- Imp Gang Boss: This minion has good early board control which what you need most against aggros. By any chance, if you can use Demonfire on it. You may see lots of Imps on the board.
-
Why do we use Demonheart ?
- Direct damage against Sylvanas Windrunner and Emperor Thaurissan to deal with them easily.
- With Demonheart and Sunfury Protector, Mistress of Pain gives you the heal and protection you need against aggros. Most likely autowin if you manage to do this combo somehow.
- It makes your Voidcaller a 8-9 minion to deal with giants and survive after hit.
- Mal'Ganis, Lord Jaraxxus and Illidan Stormrage evolve to a titan.
-
1x Imp-losion, 1x Bane of Doom? you gotta be kiddin me dude...
When you have no minion on the board. And you have to kill and summon some minions. Thats when this guys are show up. Imp-losion can literally destroy a minion with 4-hp and summon 4x 1-1 demon. But sometimes it cant, thats when you will use your Bane of Doom on the same minion. With that, you can take your board control again. And do not forget... Imps are fuckin demons, with a little bit luck your Voidcaller can calls Mal'Ganis.After Bane of Doom buff. Now you can summon 21 different demons. 10 of them are stronger then 5 mana minions. other 3 minions are almost equal and other 8 minions are a little bit weaker. It has become really imba card with this buff. Use it and a wild Mal'Ganis will appear soon or later. :)
-
Why Illidan Stormrage? Why no Dr. Boom or something else?
- Ehm ? how about coz he is op in that deck? Well probably you dont believe me do ya? Well just wait for your Voidcaller to summon him and watch your opponent's desperate moves to destroy a 0 mana cost minion with Big Game Hunter, Fireball etc... Even if that happens and illidan dies.. You still have bunch of 2-1 Flame of Azzinoth on the board.
- Floating Watcher or Ancient of Lore... almost same thing. 6-6 minion 1x card, 5-5 minion 2x card. But Floating Watcher is a "must be killed card" for opponent coz next turn he has to deal with 8-8 minion or maybe even worst. And do not forget, its a demon.
- Same reason with handlock.
You got 1x Shadowflame for desperate moments to detonate one of your giants. Use them wisely.(You have now 2x Shadowflame) - Use your Sunfury Protector if you need them desperatly to survive. But i recommend for you to wait until Molten Giant and Lord Jaraxxus's Infernals.
-
Why Sacrificial Pact?
- Rekt Enemy Lord Jaraxxus. Priest can steal from you with Thoughtsteal, Unstable Portal can summon it, or simply another handlock can use it. All of them gonna be get rekt.
- Priest can use Mind Control on Mal'Ganis or on other demons.., punish him.
- Sacrifice one of
Imp-losion's Imp(Imp Gang Boss's Imp now) when you need hp. - Sacrifice Voidcaller if you need Mal'Ganis for fast burst or survival.
- Destroy Doomguard,Imp Gang Boss or Flame Imp when you play against zoo warlock.
- If a mage use secret, probably it is a Mirror Entity. So if you have Sacrificial Pact on your hand, you can play any demon you wanted and gain easy 5hp.
Blackrock Mountain Expansion Updates:
-1 Flame Imp, -1 Dread Infernal, +2 Imp Gang Boss-1 Mortal Coil, +1 Demonwrath
Possible Changes:
-
-1 Bane of Doom, +1 Demonheart:
Both are great, But i strongly recommend Bane of Doom. However Demonheart is more certain. You can kill 5hp minion or buff one of your minions as hell.
-
-1 Sylvanas Windrunner, +1 Loatheb
I recommend Sylvanas Windrunner, however you can use Loatheb if you dont have her. Sometimes loatheb can save you from burst spells or aoe board cleaner spells and it is cheaper.
-
-1 Imp Gang Boss, +1 Power Overwhelming:
You may choose to add Power Overwhelming in to your deck if you dont want to sacrifice a gaint or something when you are using Shadowflame. It may also can be used for burst and you can use Sacrifice pact on that doomed demon to gain 5hp.
-
-1 Imp Gang Boss, +1 Demonwrath:
More aoe if you want... but i dont recommend it since you already got Demonwrath+Shadowflame on the deck.
-1 Illidan Stormrage, +1 Demonheart:
Demonheart on Voidwalker and mistress of pain grants you more protection against aggros.
Note: I did try Demonwrath, not working well on this deck.

Mill druid + charge hunter
an update for Explorers league?
update would b awesome
Sacrificial Pact isn't Thoughsteal counter for this deck. Because you have a lot of demons and that spell give the opponent 1 more removal. Thoughsteal counters are bad cards like Wisp. So; if you want to play around Thoughsteal, play type of zoo decks.
hello, its true that Sacrificial Pact would be dangerous if Thoughtsteal give it to opponent. However, as you said we have lots of demon on this deck. If priest find a demon with Thoughtsteal, you can immediatly destroy it. (sometimes they draw a Lord Jaraxxus which is insta win) And mind control on Mal'Ganis, or Illidan Stormrage wont be scary too if you have Sacrificial Pact on your hand
haha glad to hear that you like it, thank you very much.

i dont recommand it, Lord Jaraxxus is auto win against priests and saves u from lots of burst decks.
Since I dont have molten giants, I added two Power Overwhelming and a Void Terror, they are amasing in this deck. Power Overwheming can be used with Shadowstrike, Sylvana and Mistress of Pain if you really need hp to survive
I also removed Sunfury Pritector of course
I love the deck, I love your guide, although I find it lacks early game power which is not awesome in the current meta. (aggro)
Keep up the good work!
Added Blackrock Mountain Expansion demon cards today.
How do you feel about switching out an Implosion for the second Shadowflame? Now that you're including Sylvanas, I'd definitely love to pull off that turn 10 Sylvanas Shadowflame combo.
Also, what about Emperor Thaurissan and Imp Gang Boss? Will they eventually become part of your decklist too?
i will definitly add Imp Gang Boss somehow and i also like Emperor Thaurissan but i need to test it out. however i'm not sure about Demonwrath.
Yes you can switch a Imp-losion with a Shadowflame. It provides you a better late game. However less powerful mid-game you will have.
Maybe you should try like -1 Mortal Coil, +1 Shadowflame first.
if you also have gold Bane of Doom, it would be fun to see gold Mal'Ganis, Lord Jaraxxus etc. :)
Went on a winnign streak from 20-16 tonite, only losing to control warrior.I was initially having trouble against hunter and mech mage, so i swapped an implosion for a hellfire and a bane of doom for demon heart, it seems to work very well now.
Really great and fun deck, hopefully we will get more demon support in the next xpac :D
hehe its good to hear ppl are doing great with my deck. i hope blizz gonna buff Bane of Doom soon.
Excellent deck. It's fun to play with a viable demon deck.
anyone testing this on laddeR? whats rank? in casual ive been doing decent about 60% or so, with RNG on my side, but on ladder about 30%
Didn't know Illidan Stormrage is a demon card. Lol. Good job man!
I don't have Lord Jaraxxus and Mal'Ganis. What's the possibilities??
unfortunatly, there is none :( but you may try with 2x Dread Infernal
