I don't really see enough creatures here.  1 flower, a Lair and a harmonize, combined with the fact that there are not max copies of the level 1-2 dogs means that against more defensive builds, you're not going to have enough cards to throw at them if your dogs are being controlled/destroyed.

I haven't seen much of a reason for playing more than 1 Dire Wolf.  They roll really high potentially, but they require some effort to really work, and aren't very flexible.  I almost always play all of my other T. Wolves before I play a D. Wolf, because they're just more well-rounded.  Conjurations are a big deal, and with most non-living conjurations having 2-3 armor or so, there's a big difference between 3 dice and 4, and it's even worse for living conjurations, which either have regenerate, armor or both.

I would just take out non-essentials and make sure you have enough T. Wolves and foxes to make sure your deck doesn't run out of threats in the middle of the game.  Redclaw isn't exceptional without much of a pack.
 

I usually just feed them to Shaggy.

Well, maybe if you taught them better ways to play, they wouldn't stay noobs.

Yup I think you make a good point; I'll put the battleforge back in.  Agony hates on the FM pretty hard, but I would need more than 2 copies to actually let one stick against a good player I imagine.

Also, turns out I have nowhere near enough ways to deal with Weak tokens.  Gorgon Archer counters my entire plan, so I'll have to figure out a way to deal with that.  I think I might switch out a Blood Demon for a Slayer too.

In the end, I think i'll need a bigger mana setup than just rings.  Blood Demons are good, but without access to Fellella, I just don't have enough actions to both buff and attack.  I may actually end up considering the Jokhtari BM for this kind of build actually, or at least Sersiryx. 

Edit:  I think the simpler solution is to just summon less demons.  Easier to manage, wouldn't you know 

I really like the first Blood Demon as a Blood Reaper.  12 mana and 4 life to get a 6 dice attack (with Bloodthirsty) on a mobile and difficult to kill mid creature is nice.  The 2 life gain each time it deals damage puts your Warlock in a nice position to race vs. other aggressive plans.

 The subsequent copies of Blood Demon are a bit inefficient, they take a longer time for their mana cost to be paid off in damage.  If your book is going to go this long, you're going to need a Battleforge and defenses for your mage to turn it into more of a survival game.

I personally would want to go in on curses and fire spells after the first demon, and mostly make it a race that you should win due to your effective +2 life regen over your opponent?

Yeah I'm sort of concerned about the efficiency of the non-reaper Blood Demons.  Their traits definitely seem to lend themselves to a more offensive role, since the harder they hit, the more they heal (usually).  Also, I'm sure I don't have to tell the GenCon champ this, but Flying makes them harder to control through the more efficient Restrain cards and/or Walls.

Basically, I recognize the somewhat lack-luster initial efficiency of Blood Demons 2 & 3, but they seem particularly efficient when it comes to offensive buffs and less open to control, which in my experience suggests a good candidate for aggro creatures. 

I chose the Warlock since, as I believe and you describe, he has the best base resilience out of all the mages, which obviously suits him to the role.  I did actually heavily consider a Battleforge for most iterations of the build, but at the last moment I took it out to focus more on curses and buffs, as most equipment is efficient in terms of armor and defense, but not in terms of more dice and attack. 

I still haven't tested this yet, so I have no idea what will change and I'm probably wrong about a lot of things, but thanks for the insight everyone.  Hopefully it will mean less playtesting.

This is a book I just built but have yet to try out.  The plan is fairly straightforward; summon 3 Blood Demons, buff them (and sometimes the Warlock) up and drop curses, and assassinate the other mage.

Anyone have experience with this kind of book?

Did anyone play zone attacks against your birds  or a few bigger flyers to eat'em? Anyone try to Fireball your tree?

I read in the report that the wizards didn't really use Arcane Zap, which is really odd to me.  And even against non-swarm, a zone attack can still be pretty good if you catch the opponent and a conjuration in the same zone, though ideally there'd be more than that. 

I usually put in at least 1 zone attack or if I'm playing Necro, Poison Gas Cloud.  If you can time them correctly, their efficiency is pretty ridiculous.

You also have to remember that in a game where you aren't getting extra skull tokens, you pretty much have to spend 14 mana to do practically nothing for 8 rounds, and that's just not acceptable.  Given that it is completely useless most of the time, I don't think it warrants book space except maybe as a meta choice or for multiplayer (as RK said).
