    Dark Pact 2.0

    1. EksSkellybur

      Took the Words right out of My Mouth.

    2. Soup And Salad

      Not really since this can't save you from a beatdown anywhere near as well as Dark Pact can. Unless one of your options is a Voidlord and you already have Skull of the Man'ari set up, I doubt this will see play along side Dark Pact.

  2. Blake Patton

    Solid Card,

    Especially since Warlock already plays a 2 health minion that it wouldn't mind killing ( Not only for cheap, but for value ) and of course i'm talking about the Possessed Lackey

    1. Soup And Salad

      You already have Dark Pact, which heals and can also enable Cube. Also, if playing this becomes standard too Giest will probably pop up a lot more often than it already does.

  3. Albert Sejer Pedersen

    You can also deal the damage to your here and that makes this card so nice <3

  4. GlosuuLang

    If Dark Pact gets nerfed, this will be used instead to activate Lackey. With the potential of discovering another Doomguard or Void Daddy. Why are we making Cubelock stronger, Blizzard? 4/5 due to power level, but I hate to see this card printed.

  5. JellyBaby0200

    I like the effect that it's not standard to your own face, perhaps it could be used for a positive use such as eggs, but that seems a bit farfetched so beside that idea pretty good value, still useful to combi with the "is you took damage this turn" cards.

    Overall 4/5

    With the new op demons released in KnC, this card is amazing for being one mana. However I don't see it working with most cubelock decks though, since they don't have any fodder minions bsides librarian.

    1. billius

      onvm, misread the card and thought it applied only if u damaged your minions.
      yeah, this card is op.
      The legend of cubelock continues

        It's another way to kill possessed lackey on turn 6 to summon a demon from your deck while getting a demon in your hand out of it as well.

        1. Soup And Salad

          You honestly rarely need more enablers for Lackey or draw with my experience with the deck, and putting in more tools against aggro will result in better outcomes since Mistress of Mixtures is leaving standard.

          1. MattH

            I was responding to the comment made "However I don’t see it working with most cubelock decks though, since they don’t have any fodder minions bsides (sic) librarian."

            I was simply pointing out that there is a minion played in cubelock that is a perfect target for this spell if you were to run it.

    Wow. Wow wow wow. Hit your face to enable masochist cards. Hit your Lackey to draw out a Demon. Discover Voidlord, or Doomguard, or Abyssal Enforcer, or Flame Imp. This is not only a powerful card, but a beautifully designed one. Honestly, it may be one of my favourite cards the Hearthstone team has ever created, it asks so many questions. So elegant and clean.

    1. Soup And Salad

      Are you talking about this or Dark Pact? Most of the questions you could bring up have already been answered with Pact floating around Standard for the last three months, and the healing it offers is typically better than the card this offers.

      1. Ethereal

        He's talking about the fact that this card can damage your hero to enable cards that require you to take damage.

        1. Soup And Salad

          I suppose so. It might see play naturally in Zoo Warlock as a result but only as an enabler for Dusk Bat.

  8. Mitch25

    This card is: Destroy Lackey, summon a demon and discover a demon for 1 mana

    1. Soup And Salad

      Dark Pact is still better since the 8 healing will typically matter more than a semi-random demon you'll likely not want to revive with Gil'dan.

      1. Ertje

        Exactly, you don't want a blood imp to be dropped on the board and be summoned by Gul'dan

  9. Soup And Salad

    It's cute, but Cube Warlock wasn't exactly begging for more Possessed Lackey enablers or extra draw. In my 300+ games experience with the deck at higher ranks, two Sacrifice enablers is enough and Giest is still floating around.

    Maybe if Dark Pact gets bumped up to two mana, then this might see play. Granted, the demons you get to choose from will often be ones you won't want to play anyway.

  10. Zetta

    We're looking out for cubelock they said. And I believed them. What a fool I have been.
    I mean, unless they literally meant they were thinking aboit nerfing the cube itself. Which, I mean, would definitely make the deck weaker. Maybe they made this so the deck could live on once they nerfed the cube into obscurity.

    1. Boy65

      Cube is totally useless without the other components. It's a dead card by itself. Cube lock is not that consistent. Control warlock is far more consistent wherein you do not play cube

  11. Wrk

    Soup And Salad is a hero. So satisfying to see him speak the truth to everyone complaining about giving cubelock more op cards.
