Hey guys ! I'll make some monthly threads about my climb to Legend using some Warlock decks. This season I'm using DemonHandlock.
Right now I'm using one Dread Infernal + one Imp Gang Boss as tech against the mass of Paladins on the ladder. It's working well.
IGB is quite great on turn 3 with the coin to get value (I replace one Ancient Watcher with this tech).
I was also trying Fearsome Doomguard... but Dread Infernal battlecry is more valuable to kill off tokens when played from hand.
I'm now at rank 8 4 stars ! So far... 66,6 % winrate (20 victories, 10 defeats)
I like the logic behind your choices of imp gang boss and Dread Infernal. Relatively new to demonhandlock and handlock so I thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Demons allows for tech. Still... the Watcher might retake it place soon... or i'll leave with the Ancient/Imp Gang Boss...
I'm even thinking about switching something to add Wrathguard. That card definitely got my attention... a more midrangy version of this control deck is trying to see the day from my charts I'm making (on spreadsheets).

Good luck on your climb! Do you have a link to the specific demon deck you are using? I've been tryin to build a hybrid traditional hand lock with some dragon synergy.
Good job mate! The deck is very nice and I am definitely going to follow this thread because after creating Handlock/Demonlock a few days ago I love it to bits and it became my favourite. Good luck with the legend rank, I am rank 10 right now but climbing steadily with your deck.
hey @Remhouse, the most notorious Handlock evangelist around, good luck with your climb.
I'm not too far from you when the subject is Handlock, however I've been climbing with CW this season, tired to lose to cancer.
I might go back to my DemonHandlock as well due all these f*ckers with Paladins.
Evangelist ha ha ! That's kind from you.
For updating... I'm currently at rank 7 with 3 stars.
24 victores, 12 losses so far. A Face Hunter conceded on turn 5 when I Hellfire + a Voidcaller on board turned into a Mal'Ganis on board with one Molten Giant ha ha. That was majestic as fu**.
I'm still in-between running Ancient Watcher in pair or leaving the Imp Gang Boss there. Imp Gang Boss is doing a wonderful job against some early decks at stabilizing the board early on, while Watcher is slow but is always finding something to do when I want to ha ha !

Having two different cards creates an added diversity benefit in times you have both in your current hand. Better to have more than two of the same option. Of course 2 Ancient Watchers can be better at times but you loses the added diversity benefit and any Imp Gang Boss advantages.
I have been having lots of success with demon handlock myself. The deck I just made and posted doesn't even run one ancient watcher. It's one of my favourite decks and I was also thinking about running dread infernal but I'm not 100% on what to replace if I do put it. I also prefer earthen ring farseer over imp gang boss because late game you don't really want to get imp gang boss out of voidcaller with doomguard/malganis in hand and farseer can also heal your minions late game or prevent you from dying.

I actually believe that Imp Gang Boss is a solid addition... especially in this kind of weirdish meta. That's where the strives... it's weird but it can win more then losing consistently I believe !

Good luck on that Rem ,that decklist is sick bro Gratz;
I'll try it with my Tempo Mage this Season,let's see what happens;
I find that it's such a funny deck ... the decklist is pretty garbage in term of lenght (any ''consistent'' deck would run two over 1 of in many spots like Handlock does). Games are never boring. Some losses are painful... you'll get stomped by some aggro decks.
Thanks for the comment !

Humm Sylvannas. I love her. But now at the rank I am. I vastly need in this meta of Dread Infernal. The battlecry is, in my opinion, a double-edge effect. The body throught Voidcaller is quite nice (gaining tremendous tempo vs Sylvannas which is rather a slow Legendary and a rather erratic one also). The AoE is where the card comes handy ... the Silver Hand is filling the board...

Haven't seen this thread being updated any soon so I am going to ask instead - hows it going :P? Did you reach legend or are you close at least? Also, have you made any changes to the deck based on the meta?
Update : I'm currently rank 7. Had not much time to play recently (only 6 games in the last 3 days) due to university matters and such things.
I'll do some laddering today. Hope I'll hit rank 5 to make the great climb in the next days. I'll definitely hit Legend ... by not as fast as I thought earlier... time being my greatest enemy.

If you want a personal tip against secret Paladin. Try to kill off their MC by using BGH.

No... that's an old statement... the hypothetic wonder quarter for DemonHandlock...
Still... Fearsome Doomguard and Master Jouster are efficient. Jouster is effective against an midrange meta however.

Though my skills are meager, I look forward to sharpening them with your deck. That was kind of you to share it.

Maybe it's best to keep it the way it is.

It's quite early in the season to say something like being ''stuck''.
