Warlock TGT Cards
[Deamonfuse]  – 2 mana spell, Give a Demon +3/+3. Give your opponent a Mana Crystal.

Negative: Gives a mana crystal to your opponent.
Not a whole lot of good to say about this card.

Recommendation: There are better cards to choose from. A lot of people feel like this is one of the worst cards in the game.
[Tiny Knight of Evil]  – 2 mana, Demon, Whenever you discard a card, gain +1/+1.

At first glance it looks like Blizzard is wanting to create a Discard Warlock.
Synergizes with [Fist of Jaraxxus]

Recommendation: This card is more of a card that makes some of the old card’s ‘discard’ drawback less of a problem. Might be more useful with future expansions?
[Wrathguard]  – 2 mana, 4 / 3 Demon, Whenever this minion takes damage, also deal that amount to your hero.

The best way to think about this card is similar to a [Zombie Chow] or a weapon. You will want to use it early in the game, if at all.

Recommendation: Be careful… mind your manners
[Dreadsteed]  – 4 mana, 1 / 1 Demon, Deathrattle: Summon a Dreadsteed.

The card’s flavor text is in reference to a Reddit user (Crescendo1909) who has been fighting cancer for the last year and thanked Hearthstone on YouTube. (https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/304vqp/thank_you_hearthstone_a_goodbye_from_a_passionate/)
Flavor text: Crescendo himself summoned this steed, riding it to victory in the Grand Tournament.  Wherever he rides, an army of riders ride behind him, supporting the legendary champion.
Crescendo is still doing well and doctors think he could make a full recovery. Here is an update he posted: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/3hdpzr/dreadsteeds_new_flavor_text_refers_to/
Combos well with: [Anima Golem] (6 mana, 9/9 Mech, At the end of each turn, destroy this minion if it’s your only one.); [Sacrificial Pact] (0 mana spell, Destroy a Demon. Restore 5 health to your hero.); [Demonfuse] (mentioned before); [Demonfire] (2 mana spell, Deal 2 damage to a minion. If it’s a friendly Demon, give it +2/+2 instead.); [Demonheart] (5 mana spell, Deal 5 damage to a minion. If it’s a friendly Demon, give it +5/+5 instead.)
Fill your board using [Baron Rivendare] (4 mana, Legendary 1/7 minion, Your minions trigger their Deathrattle twice.) and then play Malganis (9 mana, Legendary 9/7 minion, Your other Demons have +2/+2. Your hero is immune).

Recommendation: Can be lots of fun. It is susceptible to Silence, Polymorph and Earth Shock. However, it can cause problems by filling your board so that you can’t play other minions.
