INTRO

At first glance this deck may seem terrible due to almost every bad warlock card being in the deck (not including Mal'Ganis, Lord Jaraxxus and Voidcaller.) This deck takes advantage of the all powerful Dreadsteed. The card may look bad at a first glance but when you consider all possibilities with this deck then the card becomes a lot better. 

Type of Deck

This deck is designed as more of a control type deck. There have been other decks with the Dreadsteed these have been a lot more combo, aggro decks (more like zoolock.) Instead with this deck, use your Dreadsteeds to clear your opponents board and survive until fatigue or slowly kill them with the Dreadsteeds. Also the use of cards like Twisting Nether and Demonwrath are viable due to the effect of Dreadsteed, so it's basically a way of clearing your opponents board.

Playing Around Your Opponents and your own Cards

The Whole purpose of this deck as said already is to take advantage of your Dreadsteeds which means you have to play cautiously when playing this deck, silence is obviously a huge issue if you don't already have more than two Dreadsteeds out and if you play them too early they are very vulnerable to silence ruining your entire strategy. Two ways to play around this are too either bait out any silences with Nerubian EggVoidcaller and possibly a buffed up Void Terror, or to use Baron Rivendare early and wait a turn to bring out the Dreadsteeds, this obviously being risky because if Rivendare is destroyed, then you only have two Dreadsteeds for the entire game. Also with this deck you have to be careful with the use of the Rivendare, Dreadsteed combo the worse thing you could do with this deck is over run your board with Dreadsteeds because you won't be able to remove them and it will be harder to remove your opponents board without any strong removal minions on your own side, your opponent can ignore your dreadsteeds and hit the face with their own minions. 

Fatiguing

As you can imagine this deck is pretty damn slow, it relys on you drawing dreadsteads, Rivendare and other combo cards to go along which is one of the reasons this deck has 4 healing cards along with Lord Jaraxxus. The use of Sacrificial Pact is also available due to you being able to use them on your own Dreadsteads or on the occasion you come up against another Warlock use them on your opponents demons.

Mulligans

DREADSTEEDS. But honestly its obviously good to have a Dreadsteed in the first hand obviously, but also look for any other early card minions like Nerubian Egg but also look for removal like Mortal CoilDarkbomb and Demonwrath. Also if you know you may be up against any aggro decks then look for Antique Healbot and possibly Sacrificial Pact, this isn't as high priority because it requires for you to have demons which isn't as likely but still good to have.

Finishing the Enemy

Beating your opponent can rely entirely on what deck your opponent is using, if they're also running a control deck the game will most likely go on for a long time being able to save your late game minions such as Lord Jaraxxus and Dr.Boom is vital, the use of Mal'Ganis can also be flexed either late or slightly mid game because it creates an extremely strong board with your Dreadsteeds.

Conclusion

To conclude in my personal opinion I really enjoyed this deck and probably left out a lot of details about the deck and its possibilities the deck has. It definitely takes some practice to get used to playing with this deck but can be very rewarding. I invite any questions or added details in the comments and thank you for using le Danksteeds. B-)
