I really enjoy this decklist and had great success with it. Yet i find that the win rate at around ranks 14+ dramatically drops. Any help is appreciated
If you don't have Karazhan then only add 1 Nether and add a second hellfire and drain soul. If you don't have Lich king then just add a second bonemare back
Thank you, didn't have medivh or the lich king so i did what you recommended. What would you recommend i keep in hand? Should i keep playing the deck like handlock?

Yup pretty much handlock, Always keep Voidwalkers and Mistress if you don't have anything better, keep drakes and giants and just survive the damage with all the removal, also play Gul'dan you're getting too low even if not even 1 demon has died. If you want to play a less handlock version cut both giants and both bonemares and add 2xGolakkas and 2x Stonehills, you can get a couple taunt demons from that and maybe Lih king. If you have Elise you might add her as well just cut 1x Golakka. If you're willing to go full Handlock value then cut bonemares and add 2x Faceless Shamblers.
This is pretty horribly designed deck, no offence, you'll get better with more experience. It's like handlock mixed with tempo lock, it doesn't go together.
Flame Imps are aggressive minions for aggressive decks, not for slow handlock. If you want to be aggressive with handlock you tap and start being aggressive on turn 4 with mountain giants and drakes, which are missing in your deck. And you have too much self damage and not enough healing to survive till DK. So you should use Mistress Of Mixture.
No point of using Oozes in this meta.
You have too many 7 drops. Bonemares are best used in tempo decks which can hold the board and have sticky minions, handlock is not really one of them.
You play shadowflame, yet there are no good targets for it. I played Demon Handlock back in the day, first deck I reached legend with, and that deck had 2xAncient Watcher and 20 mana 2xMolten Giant, huge Demons coming out of Voidcaller (stickiness) and I did not put Shadowflame into that deck, your deck doesn't even have a good target for it. Its better to just run Twisting Nether.
Defender Of Argus is not better than Sunfury Protector in such decks, at 4 mana and having no Moltens or Watchers in the deck it is a very clunky card that can be fully utilised only when you hold the tempo.
When trying to climb would you recommend cutting the bonemares for the shamblers? Is it just personal preference?
oh this deck is good, but I wouldn't try laddering with it lol. Stupid reno priest completely hard-counters this and welcome to the ladder where 1/3-1/2 of your matches are vs that stupid deck
Am, I would like to help you too. Could you update your card collection or atleast give us some information about the epics and legendaries you have (in warlock and neutral). I would also advice you to make the same changes, as people told you in the comments #2, #4, #6.

You're in between 2 deck types, controlling or midrange. You have to decide which path you want to go in order to refine the deck.
Thank you for all the feedback guys I will continue to try and improve the deck :)
