UPDATE: Hey guys, I'm really happy that the deck met with such an interest from your side.
Catch me when I'm streaming to see this and some other creative decks in action :)
All rights reserved! :D Ok, just kidding, feel free to test it and change this boring WellMet meta!
I'm Xyrron, a Polish streamer and a passionate deckbuilder.
I'm legendary rank player and every single time I hit legend with my own deck.
To make it clear, writing "my own" I do not mean "it's a patron warrior but I've changed 1 card so no it's my own deck", no...I mean completely new deck which is not a variation of any other deck.
I'm usually trying to use new cards that no one else is playing, cause the greatest advantage in every card game is the knowledge of what your opponent is playing while he has no freaking idea what you can possibly keep in your hand ;)
Today I want to share my warlock decklist, it is build around various demon synergies and uses some of less standard cards like Sacrificial Pact or Demonheart.
I hit legend rank with this deck 2days ago with average win ratio of 71% (almost 80% before rank 2) and I will be going for top100 this season.
Here is the short video from beating the Final Boss guarding the Legend Rank ;)

About the deck:
Due to the very high rate of WellMet encounters (on ranks 6-3 nearly 80% of my games were vs Uther!), the deck was meant to crush every WellMet on it's way. It works great against any aggro deck and still has enough late game stuff to win a control match up. I only struggled a bit vs face hunters (around 60% win) but you won't meet them that often on the higher ranks.
Mulligans:
Zoo/WellMet/Hunter - 1 drops, 2drops, Mistress of Pain is incredibly important vs WellMet and Hunter. Look for Demonwrath too in all cases but if u have hellfire in your starting hand you may consider keeping it too. Keep Voidcaller if the rest of your cards is looking good or if you have a coin.
Tempo Mage - Mulligan here is a bit different cause you don't need Mistress of Pain any more in the early stage of the game (she's just not trading well and is very vulnerable to flame cannon). You want to make sure that you have at least 1 Darkbomb in your hand, Zombie Chow is alwas good too. Removals will be your key cards so keeping Imp-losion or Hellfire (great vs both tempo and mechmage) is higly recommended. Voidcaller is great if you already have some early game stuff.
Warrior - I'm not going to explain patron match up here cause patron will be dead soon.
Don't rush, play a slow control game and in most cases you will be able to outvalue your opponent. Voidcaller is the most important here. Keep 1 Darkbomb to deny Acolyte of Pain, Imp Gang Boss cause he is hard to remove and Zombie Chow to pop up his armor.
Shaman - Similar mulligan as for the tempo mage, you don't need Mistress of Pain early game. Focus on Imp-losion Zombie Chow and Voidcaller.
Demonwrath is also pretty sweet cause it kills all the totems and set the stronger minions in the range of Bane of Doom.
Priest - this is a hard one. It's very frustrating to fight for the board against all these high hp minions which are getting constant heals. You need bomb to deny his draw and Imp Gang Boss to weaken his minions. Never keep Mistress of Pain in your hand, don't feed the troll :D
Voidcaller is great to catch up with tempo and Demonheart is a key card to make this one superdemon who will finally kill his Big Guy and take control of the board.
Important Notes:
Try to NOT use Demonheart as a removal unless you are very desperate. In 99% cases you want to buff one of your demons (usually it's Mistress of Pain for insane heal or just a casual imp to make BGH proof 6/6 who can trade for 2 or more minions).
Don't waste Faceless Manipulator on some poor 5 or 6 drops unless your opponent is out of cards and you're headong for fast lethal. Keep it for double Lord Jaraxxus or Mal'Ganis. Sometimes you can use it as a combo-finisher in a situation when you have Doomguard + Demonheart + Faceless Manipulator in your hand (or just a Doomguard on board) you may buff up your charger, then copy it and hit face for the insane 20dmg(!!) with double 10/12 Doomguard!
I hope I didn't skip something important. Share your opinions about the deck and maybe make some suggestions about possible card replacements. I know that the deck is very hard to play and your brain will be working at top speed, but I promise that you won't regret learning this one.
For the Xyrronlock gameplay visit my stream on http://twitch.tv/xyrron and feel free to ask me any question when I'm online. I usually start my stream at 20:00 CEST every day.
Good Luck my friends! ;)
Update: -1 Zombie Chow +1 Ironbeak Owl
I just don't see that many secret WellMets in the legend rank and owl is much better vs priest and in other control match ups. If secret WellMet is still a curse of lower ranks you may keep the zombie though.
Update:
Catch me streaming/leave a follow and maybe present your ideas for the new deck?
During my stream I'm often trying new stuff, trying to break the meta and counter mainstream, boring decks ;P
I start everyday around 20:00 CEST http://twitch.tv/xyrron
hmm actually u visited my stream a bit too late, I was playing the deck earlier, just before the arena. You may visit me on Thursday at 20.00 CEST and I will show you how I play this deck. It requires a bit of practice, but you will do much better bro ;)
I will try it for sure, the bad thing about fearsome doomguard is that after u taunt him he actually IS in the BGH range so I don;t think he will fit the deck with double argus defender ;) But still a cool concept, I'll give it a try.
A dziekuje, zapraszam ;)
Any replacement for Sylvanas ?
Wilfred Fizzlebang xD No but seriosly u can try another big demon, Floating Watcher or infernal. Sylvanas is better because she is very cool if you're behind, but another big demon should work fine as well.
Is it good to play this deck around rank 16-10?
I think that the deck is good to play on any rank, you only have a few bad match ups and even though the games may be a bit slow, high win ratio causes you to go on crazy win streaks and rank up like a card God ;)
Do you think there is any room for Dreadsteed or Wilfred Fizzlebang?
Not really, dreadsteed is too slow and it just doesn't fit to this deck. You want to get doomguard or sth bigger than dreadsteed out of the voidcaller, trust me bro ;) There are some dreadsteed based warlock decks but I think it's a very bad idea. I've never tested Wilfred Fizzlebang so you may try it instead of infernal but is it worth it? Imo he is a bit too slow for this deck.
I am surprised that you said shaman is an easy matchup given how they have direct counters to this deck. w/e shaman doesn't exist anyway.
Yes they do have hex and earthshock, but also it is very simple to remove their minions, delay their early game aggro, and from that point u can spam your board over and over again with implosions, kill 3/2 tuskars with bane of dooms or just use a bane of doom as a "summon a random demon" 5drop and use it on totems. I don't remember having any troubles with shamans so far ;)
hmm, i like the set up, pretty interesting.
I am just missing 2 Bane, 1Jaxxarus, 1Demonheart, 1Sylanus any suggestons
Well it'll be hard to replace, most of these cards are rather crucial...1 heart can be replaced with cheaper demonfire, but jaraxxus and banes are key cards so I don't really know what to say man. Probably 1 belcher (or loatheb) and maybe alex instead of jaraxus just for more healing?
Ok thats what i thought. i replaced bane with siphon soul to get rid of the big minions and something else ( i forgot). Jaraxxus i used fearsome for demon synergy because i feel your either at max hp/close to it or your getting obliterated in early game with alex's abt wont do that much. I used another dread inferon instead of winrunner, but ill try a belcher. I used 1 mortal coil to replace demonfire because i feel this deck loses mostly to face hunters or other aggro.
You should make more than 1 video of you playing with the deck! I would love to see it.
Come to my stream then and check this out ;)
Starting today at 20:00 (now it's 12:15 in PL)
I'll answer all your questions. Oh really? I'd say that this deck is great vs aggro, at least in my case it works miracles, you'll get to around 15hp on the very beginning and then you can set up a board of 2 insane taunts with argus defender and from that point it should be ez win ;) Remember that when you play vs aggro, you want your jaraxxus on board from the voidcaller, not as a hero replacement. Double 4/16 taunt (after using faceless) is op as fck :D
Ill check out your stream then.
But there is only 1 jaraxxus and 1 faceless and 2 argus, so its hard to draw all your key cards in my opinion.
4 priest matches in a row. i won 1 but they just have too many answers to your board
Don't worry, priest is probably the toughest one to beat. You really need one big turn to come back with, on example, demonheart buff which usually allows your imp or sth to trade for 2 big minions. And canceling their draw is CRUCIAL! Always keep dark bomb for the cleric ;)
No problem mate, some other Polish streamers have been experimenting with my deck after I hit legend and it worked out pretty well for them, 1 of them hit legendary rank in 3hours starting from rank 2 ;)
