Exactly as the title says. Now that Sac Pact ONLY can target a friendly demon and you don't need to worry about Zephrys shenanigans pulling pact to instakill is it possible that he sees play again in any deck? I would think that he may see play in control lock but they have a bit more sustain so being handicapped at 15 hp may suck but a 2 mana 6/6 may make up for it?
I don't have so sure, it is more a meta call if slow control decks become a thing, a least can be an option to discover what you never risky before with so many Zephyrs around.

Well, yeah, as a discover option Lord Jaraxxus doesn't seem a bad choice in many cases.
Sac Pact was never the reason Jaraxxus wasn't played.
The card isn't powerful enough and that's the truth about it. Capping at 15 HP is near suicidal against almost anything, specially since you spend 9 mana to only gain a 3/8 weapon that you probably don't want to hit a minion with because your health is already low.
If it ever became a slow fatigue meta, then maybe we'll see him again. But, not until then. And, given that Blizzard has been pretty anti-fatigue (see armor destroying/removing coldlight seer/removing naturalize/etc) that likely wont happen anytime soon.
Maybe he can see play as a last resort in some Control Warlock lists. After you have already used your healing cards, he is like using Alexstrasza on your face. A desperate measure that won't work all the time but could save your life occasionally. Also, there could be times where that 3 damage from the weapon is all you need to finish the game. I'll definitely try to use him. If it works then great! If it doesn't then he is just going to be in the same position as before. Whether he finds a place in the meta or not, he's definitely a bit better now. Playing him early is suicide though.
He still is the killer in slow matchup vs priest and warrior, where health doesnt matter much, value is. 2 mana 6/6 is better than Galakrond Priest HP mind you.And with Alex and Malygos in deck, great burst options
Nope. 9 mana do nothing is way too weak nowadays. You can play it only when you are ahead, but then, why would you? 6/6 TWO turns later is not worth the risk.

I would rework this card into:
that would be a huge twisting nether powercreep in the basic set
Lord Jaraxxus has only been useful for me when I discovered him from other cards. In the past warlock lacked some face damage, so this 3 dmg weapon may have given you lethal, but for now there are simply better choices.

Any ideas?

Not really when you play jaraxus you sacrifice board pressure nowadays it is too important there is no chill
No, Lord Jaraxxus is trash. As I said in other thread, this card didn't stand the test of time. :(
''9 mana lose 15 health and gain no armor''
Mmmhh seems nice.

"Reno Jackson: 6 mana 4/6 do nothing."

No
It should be 8 mana. It would probably still be unplayable but being able to hero power same turn would help push it.
... yeah because Zeph was the only reason it didn't see play haha.

Well, at least he isn't literally unplayable. Lord J might not be good in most decks, if at all, but not auto-losing to Zephrys is nice.
ofc u wont play jarraxus when u full 30 HP. Still he is a decent vanilla card
i was thinking about a few minions and portal deck, something like malygos jaraxus new demon(5/7) aind gepeto
