While Supreme Archaeology may not be the most successful quest on the block currently, and Plot Twist Warlock is certainly not Tier 1, I have found that this deck does in fact have one huge advantage: It runs rings around Control Warrior! (And it does pretty good against most other decks as well, too)
Ok, it might struggle against super-heavy aggro decks; unless you can get a few Hellfires to clear and then stabilise with heals and taunts. That's to be expected.
But against most control decks, you will find yourself in a really strong matchup. The obvious combos to be aware of, are getting Dollmaster Dorian or Fel Lord Betrug out and playing Plot Twist to create a board.
And if the board is cleared, not only are you likely to get a number of deathrattle-spawned minions (like 7/7 mechanical dragons), but also the Anubisath Warbringers do an amazing job of buffing your hand to crazy sized minions.
Getting low on life? Attach your 9/8 Zilliax to the 7/7 Mech Dragon to heal for a cool 16 damage. And start dropping massive taunt minions to dominate the board.
But this isn't where the fun stops. Plot Twist aids in getting rid of some of your opponent's removal spells. In the late game, your quest will automatically complete and you can start getting 0-cost minions into your hand.
Not only that, but as yuo speed your way to fatigue, Chef Nomi provides an amazing surprise to deal with, and Archivist Elysiana will make sure you don't fatigue yourself to death in the process.
It may not rock Tier 1, but this is by far one of the most fun decks I've played in a long time and doing it at the expense of Control Warriors who force the game to last for 40 minutes only to die at the end... well that's just awesome... :-D
In this deck you also can swap archivist to elekk and just shuffle good cards into ur deck, not the random cards.
I also tested portal daemon shuffle lock in ros, it was rly good vs CW. So that warlock can outvalue control decks - its real. But its very difficult to balance this deck around other popular archetypes
The problem I have with Elekk is that you can't play it at the same time as Betrug, so you end up having to waste a Plot Twist to get extra cards. At least, that's what I've found from trying it in the deck.
Portal Daemons seem like anti-synergy with Dorian and Betrug since they take up space on the board with 2/2 minions that might be better using bigger ones maybe? That's at least how it looks to me. I could be wrong. ;-)
The problem I have with Elekk is that you can't play it at the same time as Betrug, so you end up having to waste a Plot Twist to get extra cards. At least, that's what I've found from trying it in the deck.
If you have both Plot Twists in your hand when you use Elekk + Twist, you dont "waste" the Plot twist since you are getting another one. You could even go infinite if you also have the second Elekk in hand.

Unfortunately, this "if" is an almost nonexistent condition...

with portals you can play without heavy minions, just 2 elekks and rafaam
there are many space for experiments
Oh definitely, I agree! It is a very maleable deck that allows for lots of trial and error to see what works, etc. :-)
