This deck is a midrange demon deck that involves hitting yourself in the face to buff up Nethersoul Buster and Hooked Reaver, aka “4 mana 7/7.” I don’t have keleseth, so replacing spirt bomb, void analyst, and vulgar homunculus with keleseth and adding in an extra voidlord, flame imp, and void ripper, as well as maybe duskbat, leeroy, soul infusion, voidwalker, mossy horror, or many other cards. In a version with keleseth, Removing spellstone and replacing it with Spiteful Summoner is also an option, which is guaranteed to hit ectomancy. 

This deck can end up cheating out 4 mana 7/7s on turn 4, one of either despicable dreadlord or doomguard on turn 5, and ectomancying on turn 6 for a huge board. Currently the only decks that can counter huge boards are control paladin with equality and shrink ray into either wild pyromancer or consecration, and control warlock with twisting nether, defile, hellfire, and godfrey. However, with the decline of control warlock and with control paladin simply being worse than most other combo decks, Playing into a huge board and getting greedy with this deck is okay.

Skull of the Man’ari is core in this deck. Even if it ends up pulling out Hooked Reaver, it is still a free 4/4 or 5/5. It curves perfectly from skull of the manari on 5 and ectomancying the doomguard you pulled out on 6. 

In the original version of this deck, the chittering tunneler and nethersoul buster were replaced with an extra void ripper, voilord, spirit bomb, and flame imp. However, i believe nethersoul buster is better suited to this deck, and the versitility of chittering tunneler to do many things- bring out hellfire or defile vs zoolock, set your health low to curve into 4 mana 7/7 with twisting nether, or just discovering a mortal coil to deal with the board state. 

This deck is definitely in need of some refinement; I have not done much testing, but I can see some potential in this deck.
