Mulligan for your early game minions and try to apply pressure on you opponent through the whole game, against Aggro, a one drop is vital, while against control, your best cards are councilman and buster in the early game and reavers/ watchers in the late game. Never Play crystallizer without having any synergy, unless you would lose the board otherwise.

PS Malganis + crystallizer heals you for 5 (important in some Aggro matchups)


This is a midrange infliction warlock deck that worked pretty well for me between rank 5 and 1. The early game is straightforward and resembles traditional zoolock, while the Deck also features many mid game threats. Your health total is your resource, and due to the high number of self damaging cards, it’s easy to activate your hooked reavers early in the game. Main use of cristallizer is activating your nethersoul busters, but it also allows you to lower your life total to activate the reavers. Floating Watcher, while being quite slow, is incredibly strong in this deck, often getting to 10/10 and beyond if it sticks one turn (happens often enough). You always have to calculate the amount of damage on board, the easiest way to loose against control is overcommitting. Thumb rule against control is to play one big thing like buster or reaver and some small things like doubling imp, while holding back some of your big minions.

be careful with spellstone: While it’s easy to upgrade it and create big tempo swings, it has anti synergy with you hooked reavers.

Card combinations:

cheap self damage cards like librarian and flame imp + watcher

crystallizer + buster 7/8 worth of stats for 4 mana

spirit bomb + buster 5/5 and 4 damage removal for 5 mana

crystallizer at 20 health instantly activates hooked reaver

doubling imp, councilman and crystal weaver have great synergy with each other, while void analyst buffs most of the minions in your hand, since most of them are demons.

Never play buster without a self damage effect (turn 5 with tap is ok) unless you play against aggressive token decks and have no other 3 drop
