With the influx of demons coming to the game via the Demon Hunter class, as well as Ashes of Outland expansion, demons are going to become a very common minion type. Even now since the addition of Galakrond, the Wretched, with Decent of Dragons, Sacrificial Pact is getting two spots in many Warlock lists. I am sure Blizzard may already have Sacrificial Pact on the radar for possible Hall of Fame in the future. Till then, I predict it will be in almost every Warlock list for the next year, so do not forget to add it to yours. Remember it hits any demon, including the enemy player's minions. What are your thoughts and expectations about this card, and its interaction on the coming meta?
Couldn’t agree more, watching the reveal stream I was convinced that Sac Pact was going to the Hall of Fame after they introduced all the Demon Hunter cards, and since they’ve only added more demons
They can just nerf it so it targets friendly Demons only, it probably was the initial intended purpose. I don't know why they left it like that to this day, especially the interaction with Jaraxxus. Perhaps they thought it was harmless and flavorful?

Perhaps. Perhaps the power level will become higher with the shifting meta? Perhaps that is what they want anyways? But if the effect becomes game breaking and the card is in every warlock deck, it might be on the overturned side and need a nerf, like only targeting friendly demons, or a having a higher mana cost. We could also see it go to HoF. In fact I suspect that every class will get a make over, like priest, in time.
Seems reasonable to me that one class could have a great anti-demon card, thus keeping the number of DH decks and other decks dependent on powerful demons in check.
Plus, we haven't seen all the neutral cards yet. I am certain they'll include this expansion's version of Dragonmaw Poacher. Will it see any play? Who knows. But tech cards are always part of the game.

Sac Pact is fine and finally playable.
Aka an additional buff for Zephyris.

Warlock deserves one good class card for once.
I mean, only warlock has Sac Pact.
The murloccrab or piratecrab was neutral, was played and got never a nerf and counters every murloc and pirate for only 1 and 2 Mana.
Sac Pact counters now all Demons, but it's NOT Neutral.
Why should Sac Pact removing into the HoF or being nerfed? :/
Sac Pact is, for me, fine.
Zephyris is neutral....
There are way too many demons, and good ones as well, for Sac Pact to be meta defining.
Have we learned nothing from Dragonmaw Poacher?
You can target your own demons with Pact if opponent does not have any, and this alone makes it better than Poacher.
the card is fine where it is. if you don't face demon hunter/mirror match you run two almost dead cards (if you don't play galakrond yourself).
As allready stated, zephrys getting this card consistently is the biggest problem
And the poacher is a playble tech card, go in some lists.
thanks for this :) didnt think of it
Target own minions? Why dont replace it with another heal spell?
Leave as it is or replace it, simple
Even when you play double pac sact, DH will still kill you
Could see zoo lock slotting it early on expansion launch to prey on unrefined demon hunter decks.
