    Could Segeant Sally could face against all them?

    Realistically this card is not that great. At what point in any current warlock deck would you have kept demons in your hand on turn nine? Maybe in wild this is good but I can see no scenario where any demon would need to be summoned on turn nine except for the new one that does three damage to all and maybe doom lord. That's a very niche scenario.

    1. Ed

      Don't forget Kazakus can add random demons to your hand, and these two obviously go in the same deck.

      1. Aaron

        I did forget that. I still don't see it being used, but hey that's a better scenario then Cho'gall , Wilfred fizzle bang. Just doesn't seem all that great without a malganis, void crawler etc

      2. shrug

        Kazakus and a random demon does not make a nine mana card see play.

    Are Battlecrys like Jaraxxus included while summoned?

    1. yes

      yes

    2. Itzyaboyyy

      no, battlecries don't trigger off of summon

    3. jimmyjam100

      no battlecrys will not get triggered

  6. Chewylopez

    Lol... deathwing dragonlord v2

  7. Nop

    Not that good.

  8. HowIMetYourBaran

    I literally dont know how my feelings are towards this card but I would still play this in a demon-reno deck or even just a reno deck

    I was about to write a long review about this in the comments, but after seeing the comment about Deathwing, Dragonlord, I'm like

    "Oh YEAAAAHHHHHH~never mind!"

  10. 8BitBrain

    BOOM! Instant Nzoth for demons!

  11. BadBoomBoom

    Krul, the Ajax Goalkeeper.

  12. BadBoomBoom

    Im Mal'Ganis. Im ETERNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

    1. king mhd

      I'm Mal'Ganis. I am in wild and no one plays me now. lol

      1. ETERNAL

        HE IS MAL'GANIS, ALL MUST PLAY WILD NOW

    This will never be played purely because there are few demons that are being played in reno lock, being Reno you have the strongest minions you can get leading to the player having minions better than your average demon and a renolock often plays Jaraxxus which will be summoned without his battlecry so this minion is often unplayable with jaraxxus in your hand unless you play him before Krul

    1. just thinking?

      but could this lead to new warlock arc type? does it always have to fit in current decks this could lead to some kind of demon renolock

      ps: sorry if there is some spelling mistakes i am not that great at english:)

    As a reno-lock player I can say that you don't actually have any free slots in high mana cost. Most games are just a fight for survival and the number of high cost slots is pretty low. And those are reserved for Ragnaros, Jaraxxus, Alex, may be Ctun, and such. I doubt this would replace other win conditions. I don't even have a place for Medivh in my deck though he works pretty cool with syphon or nether.

  15. Dávid

    I can imagine a combo deck with doomgards+PO even with emperor you can get more damage like abusive s. or with the new epic card you can get more doomgards or something like that

  16. Safari

    In my opinion, some tests need to be made. There are some decent demons that could be included in a HandLock, for instance:

    - Doomguard (charge).
    - Fearsome Doomguard (great stats)
    - Dread Infernal.
    - Pit Lord
    - Felguard (taunt, not bad)
    - Unlicensed Apothecary
    - Lord Jaraxxus
    - Imp Gang Boss
    - Succubus
    - Dreadsteed (always good)

    + Kazzakus and his spells.

    If you summon at least 3 of them, it may be good. I may include a Panda to rescue Jaraxxus or even Krul for another demon wave.

    1. Aaron

      So would you have those same demons dead in your hand till turn nine? Well turn ten because even just summoning them they couldn't attack except doomlord. To that end any board clear takes care of this. It does very little to affect the board off the bat.

    Confusion about the "Summon" mechanic here.

    Cards with similar effects that dump minions from your hand into the battlefield are Deathwing, Dragonlord and Voidcaller. Both say "put [directly] into the battlefield". The card text seems deliberately different from these.

    N'Zoth and all normal "summon" effects don't trigger battlecry effects, but no summon mechanics in the game so far summon from your hand. Furthermore, Thing From Below treats cards you've "played" from your hand as summoned for its discount effect.

    Basically, does anyone know for sure if Jaraxxus replaces your hero when summoned by this card?

    1. jimmyjam100

      summon has never triggered battlecry. What you may be noticing for being "deliberately different" is most likely just an unnoticed inconsistency within the hearthstone team. As for your remark regarding Thing From Below, if you "play" a card it also counts as being "summoned", but if you "summon" a card it does not mean it was "played". So I am 99% sure that this will not be different and battlecry will not be triggered

        It doesn't, you get a 3/15 body.
